Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is the type of game I never thought I would ever have had the chance to experience in my lifetime. A game that (in my opinion) does EVERYTHING that comes with the videogame medium at an almost perfect level. The child-like enthrall of wrapping your hands around a controller and falling head over heels for the game you're experiencing, that craving to do nothing but play it, that yearning to tell all your friends about it was a feeling I thought was impossible to ever reach again. Yet, Sandfall Interactive closed that distance with Expedition 33.
While I don't exactly have the experience to really review or critique games for that matter, nor is this a channel dedicated to videogames. I could however not move forward in my own life, had I not spoken about what this game is and how it affected me so greatly. Because I genuinely believe, the word "masterpiece" doesn't do Clair Obscur enough justice.
