Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is Worth Playing, Even In the Midst of Oblivion Remastered Fever

habout it Forget Remaster, haa? What began as a rumour in 2023 escalated to more when the year began. Many were skeptical, and even so were Bethesda’s shadow dropping it out of nowhere. But not only are you here, it’s not Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Get strong reviews and you’ll see strong players.

On Steam, the peak simultaneous player count reached almost 191,000. It’s not bad that the highly anticipated titles released on weekdays can also be played on Game Pass. But it was also a top selling title in store, beating a viral hit Report This is not unexpected in any metre, especially for an Elder’s scroll title. If anything, it’s amazing how Virtuos delivered such an incredible package for just $49.99. Don’t worry about being able to play on Game Pass for just a small portion of that price. As such, no strings are attached.

But it also caused some confusion, especially when it came clear clear nabure: expedition 33. Sandfall Interactive’s debut role-playing game didn’t have a level of just rumors hype Forgetting has been remastered We managed to generate it, but it was still highly anticipated. On the month of Indiana Jones and the Great and Forza Horizon 5 When he debuted on PS5, he was hit with a breakout puzzle Blue Prince, Fatal anger: The city of wolvesand The day it was remasteredthat’s not a small feat.

The fact that it had come to Game Pass has also made headlines since its first release at the Xbox Game Showcase last year. Certainly, does Microsoft do nothing to thwart its success? For example, drop a remaster on one of the greatest games of all time just two days before launch? Ah, wait.

Certainly, if you check the Steam Top Sellers chart, Clear If: Forgetting has been remastered. And the player’s numbers aren’t too tattered, peaking at nearly 52,000 simultaneous steam players. More critical reviews, shine – it’s tied Blue Prince As the highest rated Game of the Year in Metallic with a 92 meta score.

Without competition, would it have been expensive? No one can certainly say it, but at least in terms of media exposure and hype, Cyrodiil’s return tour is attracting more attention.

Personally, it’s not the biggest tragedy. I played quite a chunk Forgetting has been remasteredand it is definitely worth diving in for changes in quality of life, visual overhauls, smoother combat. I want to see what’s in every corner. I can see all this fun, and even if there are some nitpicks here and there, it definitely deserves a lot of the praise it’s getting.

But that’s true Clear.

I spent about 40 hours on the game, clearing the story and plenty of side content. I collapsed for the character – their trials and personal demons constantly repeated his desire to slaughter Gasteviv for the first time, his sister, house, or Mael, and do everything possible to keep it together. Rune’s scrutiny and overt wired nature felt loved as the friendly nature of Siel, hiding some tragic personal tragedy that had nothing to do with painkillers.

And if you have a glimpse of Monoco, Guestral can copy Nebron’s attack by stepping on his feet (don’t ask how it works), believe he is one of the best characters, you’re spot-on.

I couldn’t get enough combat. I went to create a broken build that deals tens of thousands and even millions of damage from simple negotiation and evasion, timing attacks, and weak targets. When I fight my first chromatic nebron, this is tougher than your average nebron, tens of thousands of HP and far more damage, and nothing seems to work.

Then I soloed it with Mael and used the perk that gave her a 100% critical hit chance when she was the only one at the party. It was within the first few hours of the game.

Exploring the landscape of wandering battlefields decorated with giant swords, a fallen structure floating in the air like gravity was out for lunch. It’s all great, backed up by a spellbound soundtrack with so many incredible songs.

Even when I was in the late game in the final battle that concluded the story, I couldn’t help wander the world and find new places in every corner. I met Nebron, who challenged Sky Cemetery and asked me to choose weapons to fight us. After I won, he revealed his dare to the fight and hoped I would kill him. When I refused and came back later he was dead. Two of the three weapons were embedded in his body.

I fought against Sirene, a massive dancer who led literally performances and dropped the amount of Earth shattering at my party. Serpenfare, a giant snake-like nebron, is still in the sky, waiting to be challenged. I do that, unlike the others, face tests. I ventured through the painter’s workshops, learned more about the beast that plagued the nightmare of a mysterious boy and tried to kill it.

Of course, there were plenty of non-combat-focused discoveries, such as what happened to all the other expeditions. One group overcharged pictos for more power, leading to disaster. The other was to use your body to build a bridge to lead to dangerous enemies.

Then there is Guestral Beach, where there are some odd challenges, such as playing beach volleyball with various opponents. That’s not enough Clear An incredibly hilarious moment, or if it’s an incredible direction and music in the arts, or if it’s combat is a fantastic combination of turn-based tactics and real-time responses.

It’s also the fact that this is a title created by a team of 30 developers (the five of them are not even in the same office). It can be argued that it appears in many ways, such as a much less open area or a much longer campaign. If there’s one thing gamers crave, it’s because it’s a story with hell and padded back.

In this era of triple-A titles, you want to fit in as many as possible in a single package or push $70 or $80 (some people don’t skip microtransactions) Clear It’s a breath of fresh air. From a gameplay and storyline perspective, nothing like that. That’s also $49.99. Even if we could argue the same for many other titles, it feels like a steal playing this on the Game Pass.

in conclusion – Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered? It’s a great game and worth playing, but don’t miss it clear clear nabure: expedition 33. There are very few games with me to this extent, even after the credits roll. It’s a journey I will never forget, even if it’s ultimately incredible by other heavy hitters this year.
