A deeply intriguing project ever since it was first announced just under a year ago, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has managed to wow just about everyone now that it’s here.

The story-driven RPG was met with near universal acclaim when the reviews dropped earlier this week. It’s currently one of the highest-rated releases of 2025 so far, and that’s testament to how well developer Sandfall Interactive’s vision has come together.

“Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is one of the most refreshing and original RPGs in years, even if it’s not immediately obvious from the outside looking in,” is what we wrote in our Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 PS5 review.

“This is the kind of experience that proves there’s still so much potential and creativity in the bigger-budget video game space — Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is simply sublime,” we concluded, awarding the shockingly unique title an ‘excellent’ 9/10.
