Clair Obscur is an incredible game that mixes first class storytelling with one of the most interesting and engaging combat systems in recent RPG history. If you're at all interested in playing it, that's all you need to know — going in with as little prior information as possible is essential to get the most out of the experience.

Expedition 33 takes inspiration from Final Fantasy, but it strikes out on its own path with incredible results.

Clair Obscur is superlatively French and I've never played an RPG quite like it. It's a somber, swashbuckling tale of loss with lots of surprises along the way, and the strong performances throughout bolster a plot which thrives on its novelty—though too slight and short to amount to much more.
