Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is my personal game of the year so far. Sure, Bloodlines 2 is just around the corner and, as a VTM enthusiast, I'll probably enjoy it, but it's hard to find games that are truly remarkable. With its forward-thinking spin on turn-based action and its masterfully crafted setting that seamlessly entwines dark fantasy with Sandfall's French roots, there's nothing else quite like Expedition 33. Its story is powerful, brought to life by an all-star cast; its world is haunting and merciless, yet there are flashes of hope. From start to finish, Expedition 33 is a masterpiece, and it's further proof that a small studio with a razor-sharp vision, when left to its own devices, can create something truly magical.
