Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
About
Once a year, the Paintress wakes and paints upon her monolith. Paints her cursed number. And everyone past that age turns to smoke and fades away. Year by year, that number ticks down and more of us are erased. Tomorrow she’ll wake and paint “33.” And tomorrow we depart on our final mission - Destroy the Paintress, so she can never paint death again.
We are Expedition 33.

This is a masterpiece. What [i]Dragon Age: Origins[/i] or [i]Final Fantasy 7[/i] were to their respective eras, this is to this era. While I will almost certainly play the next game the studio makes, it just won't be as good as this. [h2]The good[/h2] [list] [*]Music. Wow. [*]The camera work during combat is novel and really well done. [*]The worldbuilding including story and art are phenomenal and truly unique. [*]The combat is new. The dodge mechanics end up working well (but see below for an early drawback), and there are a fair amount of synergies and counters that are fun to discover. [*]The overworld. This took a bit of time to grow on me, but it's really well done. It harkens back to old school SNES/Genesis era RPG overworlds but with a modern sensibility. It gives the world a depth and life it would otherwise lack. And like the rest of the game it's beautiful. [*]No minimap. Yes some players will complain but it's far too easy to use minimaps as a crutch. Wonderful to see a game drop it and do it well. [/list] [h2]The bad[/h2] [list] [*]The various dodge/parry mechanics have weak tutorials. The game pauses and tells you what button to push, but it takes a fair bit of time to figure out how the mechanics actually work. A bit more guidance would have helped early on. [*]More generally tutorial cards are just thrown at you when you first encounter core mechanics and basically forgettable. Not useful. There needed to be a better in-game guide to reference things you need to know. [*]Beyond that, some mechanics go almost entirely unexplained despite the tutorial cards. Overall, this game relies on looking things up online, which is a shame. [*]Combat with flying enemies are pretty repetitive , very little variety. [/list] [h2]The ugly[/h2] [list] [*]There are some bugs and UI issues that have not been addressed even a year after release. With such an otherwise polished game I am surprised by this. [*]Minor issue. Occasional weak/lazy translations. Don't get me wrong the core writing is great, but sometimes something is just off. [*]Minor issue. Occasional "way too obvious" asset reuse issues here and there. Seems like an oversight given how the variation and hand-crafted placements of all objects in this game. [/list] Buy it, play it, enjoy it. Oh yeah, this one is not for kids.

Of the 4 markets with a position on both sides, 4 climbed and 0 fell. The same sale, the same day, opposite directions — which is why nothing here is averaged into a single arrow, and why one sale is not a trend.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 93.71/day in the week to Sep 14 → 73/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,420 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Best game I've played in a long time. Well done!
The game story was interesting, and I liked the twist. However, this game helped me discover that turn-based soulslike combat is absolutely not for me, and by the time I got to act three is just wanted it to be over. Act 1: Extremely compelling Act 2: Somewhat mid. Could have ended here and been a short but compelling story. Act 3: End me now. For masochists only. I am sure I missed a ton of content because I was tired of mashing buttons.
美术和音乐出来单干好吗？这个赞是给美术和音乐的。你们的剧本和战斗系统写的是个啥？战斗系统莫名其妙的，数值根本不平衡。前期弹刀的重要性远大于技能，显得技能可有可无，后期数值崩坏。剧情更是打完了都感觉一头雾水，原来这么庞大的游戏背景最后的动机既然是为了给妈妈戒除网瘾？何意味？最后用了个梦结局包饺子，真的很老套，讲了半天也没有批判性的讨论，用一大段渲染煽情的过场动画来表达家庭是多么多么重要，最后呈现出来的效果就是三生三世家族情缘。
Expedition 33 is a masterpiece. Engaging gameplay, beautiful art and music, and a meaningful story that makes you think long after the credits roll. It is the best game of this console generation, and I doubt anything comes close. This videogame is art. Well done Sandfall.
i wanted an rpg not dark souls with an obvious twist ending
Wow...just wow. I've never left a review for a game before, but this isn't a game, this is art. And that's coming from somebody who really dislikes smug artsy-types. You'd think a game would either have great gameplay, or a great story, but this has amazing gameplay and somehow an even more amazing story. The graphics are superb and the soundtrack is even better. I stopped many times to just star at the environments and go "wow". My wife heard me listening to the soundtrack and now I randomly hear her say "Alexa, play the Clair Obscur soundtrack." The ending is haunting, but better yet, I actually did a deep dive and researched the lore. The more I look into it, the deeper and better it becomes. This is truly a once in a generation game and I cannot possibly recommend it enough.
10/11
I miss you. I don’t have the right to miss you, but I do. I wish I could talk to you. Tell you… ♥♥♥♥, I don’t know what I would tell you. Just… ask that you forgive me. Julie… Forgive me… I’m not… I’m not a traitor. I’m NOT. I’m trying to save– I’m trying to save us all. But you’re right. I am a coward. I’m a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ coward. You deserved to know why. But I couldn’t… I couldn’t face you properly… Not and still do what had to be done. Papa believes you’re Clea’s creation. And even if you’re not, we can no longer trust you. But I think you just wanted answers. Why? WHY couldn’t you just let it go… Why did you convince them to abduct me? Interrogate me? I– No, ♥♥♥♥– I shouldn’t say that. You thought I was a traitor, you were doing what you thought was right. Just like we are. I swear to you, I’m doing what’s right. I should have known when you started questioning things, that you wouldn’t be fooled. But how could I even explain. You’d have thought I’d gone mad. Doppelgangers, canvas worlds… Merde. But Papa’s right, we can’t take the risk, too much is at stake. It had to be done. It had to. Clea already took our sister… If we want to save our family, our world, our people… We can’t take any chances. And once we free Maman, she… she’ll bring you back… It won’t be forever. I promise. I promise… We deserve to live. All of us. We deserve to exist.
This game is like an ex that is hard to forget.
