I’ve been playing #ClairObscur #Expedition33 for about two weeks straight now. It’s beautiful, dark, enigmatic, deeply surreal, and probably one of the most exciting and satisfying games I’ve played in years.

The music, story, art, and gameplay are fantastic. The scenery is like something out of a fever dream. The world-building feels like a whole lot of “show, don’t tell”, which only adds to the mystery. The combat and character build system stacks and branches in some really incredible ways, too.

Continued thread

We really struggle in gaming spaces with how do you teach "get gud."

Like, I'm not a great gamer by any means. I'm generally decent (I've beaten Armored Core 6 pre-big-nerf and without shotguns, by way of example, and got the C-spider in the first try), but by no means outstanding.

But too many guides look like unironic versions of this:

Or alternatively are just like… "KEEP AT IT AND YOU'LL TOTALLY GET IT." Which great enthusiasm but not _helpful_.

Boss guide, game and everyone else's advice: "don't forget that if you are struggling you can lower the difficulty"

Okay yes but that's a different problem than the one I have. Not knocking it if that's your solution, I'm just trying to avoid that solution personally.

It's been a week since I finished #ClairObscur and I'll I've done is think about #ClairObscur.

I'm planning a tattoo on my patch-work sleeve. Not sure how it'll play out just yet, but it'll likely be a weapon of some description.

Should fit in nicely in the gap between my Mugman and Sekiro Tattoos.

#ClairObscur c'est fini pour moi. Je pourrais continuer à défoncer des Nevrons, mais c'est l'histoire qui m'intéressait et j'ai vu les deux fins. Ca pourrait durer encore 100h mais clap de fin pour moi !

Un gameplay ouf et jouissif, une histoire et une envie donnée au joueur de progresser dans ce monde incroyable. Et la BO est juste magnifique ❤️

Je comprends que beaucoup souhaiterait que ce soit le GOTY 2025. Pour moi, c'était #SplitFiction avant cette aventure.

Merci #Sandfall !
