The highly anticipated game from the youthful French studio Sandfall Interactive, titled Clair Obscur, is already turning heads in the gaming community with its early reviews. Critics are lauding the game for its profound storytelling, mature themes, and exhilarating combat mechanics, with some even likening it to a contemporary Final Fantasy.
RPG Gamer's reviewer was particularly struck by the fact that Clair Obscur, the debut project from these fresh developers, delivers an experience comparable to that of a veteran studio within just a few hours. Should this level of quality persist throughout the game, Expedition 33 stands a strong chance of clinching an award at The Game Awards 2025.
An IGN journalist, captivated by the demo, expressed a keen desire to delve deeper into the game's universe and engage in more battles. They were astounded by the accomplishments of such a nascent development team.
Kotaku's author goes as far as to predict that Clair Obscur will become a turn-based classic, drawing parallels with Final Fantasy. They praise the innovative integration of Quick Time Events (QTEs) into the traditional turn-based combat system, adding a fresh twist to the genre.
Across the board, reviewers are also commending the game's stunning visual aesthetics and the sophisticated tone of its narrative.
Clair Obscur is slated for release on April 24, 2025, and will be available on current-generation consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series) as well as PC via Steam.
