Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is, quite simply, knocking it out of the park on all fronts. The game has seen nothing but praise from critics and players alike since its release. It also earned itself a high-scoring review here at Shacknews for its enjoyable characters and engaging systems. The team doesn’t seem to have expected such a turnout for the game, but they’re thrilled to see it nonetheless, and it bodes well for future projects for Sandfall Interactive.

With such a solid early start in the books, it will be interesting to see just where Clair Obscur peaks, especially in Game of the Year conversations late in 2025. For more updates and coverage, stay tuned to the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 topic.
