Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a stylish turn based RPG with action game timing, built around parries, dodges, and a fresh combat twist. The story, music, and visuals draw strong praise, and the game is described as packed with content, with runs stretching past 60 hours. The main caveat is that the battle rhythm and story pacing can feel repetitive, confusing, or slow to click, especially if RPGs are not your thing. At $24.49, it looks like a strong value for players who want a cinematic RPG with skill based combat.
Players who like JRPG-style turn-based gameplay and want a "fresh take" because the game adds parry/dodge to a more traditional Final Fantasy-like structure while still feeling like turn-based RPG combat.
Gamers who want a long single-player time sink because multiple commenters say it's worth it for dozens of hours (e.g., "over 60 hours of story" and "consumed my free time" while completing lots of content).
RPG fans who want a mostly turn-based experience but don't mind parry/dodge timing because the combat is still "mostly a turn based RPG" even when you dodge/parry on enemy turns.
People who enjoy story-heavy games and won't skip dialogue/cutscenes because commenters say skipping character dialogue and playing with sound off can make you not enjoy it.
Players who are willing to learn the parry system and use audio cues because one commenter says parrying is best done by listening for the audio cue rather than watching the attack.
Players who dislike parry/dodge-heavy combat because multiple commenters describe it as a "parry simulator" and say they got bored or found it overrated after some hours.
Turn-based RPG newcomers who want a straightforward entry point because one commenter says it "shouldn't be your first game to get into RPG" due to a convoluted story and turn-based combat being a big commitment.
People who skip dialogue/cutscenes or play with the sound off because a commenter warns you may not enjoy it if you do that.
Gamers who bounce off slow story pacing because one commenter says the story "dragging" and having explanations arrive only toward the end turned them away.
Players who want a smooth difficulty curve for parry timing because one commenter reports the parry timing feels off-easy early, then later it spikes with "obnoxious/unintuitive" patterns.
Anyone who needs guaranteed Steam activation from the seller because a commenter flags a "grey market" key risk with Loaded, saying keys may not activate reliably long-term and you may have limited recourse if they don't.

I'm usually not into RPGs. Will this change my mind?

No, lol.
It's more traditional RPG a la "Final Fantasy" with some extra battle mechanics than a FPS RPG like Cyberpunk.
Also, friend, just go on YouTube and look for a quick video on gameplay.
You'll know right away if it's your thing or not.
