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.

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.
геймплей говна (если вы конечно не любитель jrpg) сюжет и музыка хорошие мир красивый общий итог 7/10.
Bu oyun her yönden nasıl mükemmel olabilir ya... Atmosferi Müzikleri Karakterleri Oynanışı Hikayesi hepsi harika. Keşke yüksek bütçeli şirketlerde bu tarz oyunlar yapsalarda daha sık bunun gibi oyunlar oynasak. 10/10
If aliens invaded earth and told us our only chance of survival was for them to like our best game, I would recommend this game.
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.
Musiałem sam w końcu sprawdzić skąd te wszystkie zachwyty nad tą grą i się absolutnie nie zawiodłem. Po przełamaniu się do systemu turowego w BG3 przyszedł czas na kolejną, czyli Ekspedycje. To nie gra, a dzieło sztuki. Po muzykę, historie, bohaterów, po wszystko po prostu co jest w tej historii zawarte. Ta gra łamie serce i doprowadza do łez. Fabuła wgniata w fotel. Dialogi są niesamowicie dojrzałe, mądre, niosiące za sobą ogromny przekaz, by chwilę się zatrzymać i przemyśleć parę rzeczy w swoim życiu. Spodziewałem się, że będzie dobrze, ale nie aż tak, a skończyło się wybitnie. Ta historia zostanie ze mną jeszcze na bardzo, bardzo długo. 11/10
С первых минут мир буквально завораживает: эстетика ар‑нуво вперемешку с мрачной, почти сюрреалистичной стилистикой создаёт очень узнаваемое настроение. Всё выглядит как ожившая картина — от локаций до дизайна врагов. При этом мрачность здесь не ради мрачности: она отлично подчёркивает эмоциональную подоплёку истории. Сюжет подаётся постепенно, через записки, диалоги и события, и в нём много личных драм: у каждого члена экспедиции есть своя история, свои страхи и надежды. Мне особенно понравилось, как игра балансирует между масштабной угрозой и маленькими человеческими трагедиями — из‑за этого персонажи ощущаются живыми. Боевая система — это крепкий тактический гибрид. Здесь есть пошаговые элементы, но с активной реакцией на действия: нужно вовремя уклоняться, парировать и использовать способности, чтобы не потерять темп. Поначалу кажется перегруженной, но буквально через пару часов всё складывается в чёткую систему, где каждое решение имеет значение. Плюс прокачка гибкая: можно собирать разные билды и экспериментировать со стилями игры. Исследование мира тоже радует: локации не просто красивые, а продуманные, с секретами и дополнительными заданиями, которые раскрывают лор. И при этом нет ощущения «пустого» гринда — каждый бой или находка что‑то добавляют к общей картине. Из минусов могу отметить разве что редкие мелкие баги и местами затянутые переходы между крупными сюжетными моментами, но они не портят общего впечатления. В итоге Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 — это стильная, глубокая и по‑настоящему атмосферная игра, которая отлично подойдёт тем, кто любит вдумчивые сюжеты и тактические бои. Однозначно рекомендую.
