I've played Clair Obscur Expedition 33 for 4 hours and here is my preview:
-Insane visuals
-Very good performance
-Outstanding voice acting
-Might be the best rpg world map out there (exploration, shortcuts, hidden bosses, design, soundtrack)
-Camp everywhere on the map
-Your camp will change overtime (extra dialogue, new NPCs, side content and more)
-You can see enemies anytime, even on the world map
-Difficulty options (change it anytime)
-Great UI / Fast 'menuing'
-Insane soundtrack
-Insane art direction and world building
-Super interesting story
-Very dark themes (Very 'adult', death/loss, love, swearing, blood and gore)
-But on the other side also super funny side characters
-Interesting characters overall
-Fast travel to checkpoints
-Great enemy design (some FromSoftware stuff in here)
-Great outfits
-New weapons will look different
-Widescreen support
-30fps cutscenes
-No fall damage
-Skippable cutscenes
-Fast loading times
-Instant character swap (one button)
-Almost seamless gameplay into combat
-Amazing exploration with the grappling hook and climbing
-Secret bosses with great rewards
-Combat is super fun and challenging
-Bosses are no joke (died multiple times)
-You can see enemy turns
-One button press combat
-Persona meets Final Fantasy 10 with some own ideas!!! (It’s fire imo)
-High risk and reward system in combat
-You can parry/dodge ANY attack (final boss is also possible) / no hit run any?
-Battle theme(s) are freaking amazing
If my play session is any indicator of the whole game - oh boy, we are in for a treat. Any RPG fan who doesn’t already have the game on their most-wanted list should do so immediately, because something very special arrives next month.
