Community Reviews

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.

Common Questions (5)

  • Yes, several comments call it worth the price, especially for the amount of content and the quality of the story, visuals, and combat. A few players also mention paying around $20-$25 and feeling satisfied with the value.

  • It is mostly a traditional turn-based RPG in the Final Fantasy style, but combat adds parry and dodge timing that makes it feel more action-like. That extra timing layer is the main reason action-game fans may still enjoy it.

  • The story can take several hours to click and may feel confusing or nonsensical at first, with key explanations arriving later. If it still has not hooked you after about 3-5 hours, it may not be the right fit.

  • The game reportedly offers over 60 hours of story, with plenty of extra content beyond the main path. Some players also spent dozens of hours clearing bosses, collectibles, and the endless tower.

  • There is a reported grey-market risk with Loaded: many keys may not come from the title owner, so Steam activation can fail or the key may not be reliable long-term. If that happens, recourse from Loaded may be limited.

I liked it as an RPG fan but I think if you don't like RPGs you will really not like this game. It's still mostly a turn based RPG even though you doge/perry on enemy turn. This is clearly an RPG game for fans of that, and that's okay.

I recognize that KCD2 was great for open world game fans, but I hate open world games so I didn't buy it nor expect it to change my mind on the genre.

Stick to what you like!

Well, I do enjoy Cyberpunk 2077. Is the gameplay similar to that?
You do know there are videos of every video game on YouTube, twitch, and probably review sites...

You could even ask ai if cyberpunk plays similarly or not.

One of the best games ever made. Especially for me as someone who bought it at release and so all the "goty" chants hadn't really kicked into full swing yet, so I was able to see the game for what it is in my own bubble mostly. It was an absolute blast & really reminded me why I love video games.

This game is absolute art. If you're the type that skips character dialogue and cut scenes or plays with the sound off, don't bother. Otherwise, enjoy one of the best games turn-based RPGs ever.

Honestly, I've never played it. LOL

I'm usually not into RPGs. Will this change my mind?
I'm not into turn based RPGs, but I have this game a try cause of the hype. The turn base is very immersive with the parrying and timing to get your attacks out, story and graphics are also very good. One of my favorite games of the past 10 years. Easily worth it for $25.

Crazy idea, but I figured asking everyday people on this forum about their thoughts about it rather than watch a paid shill gush about it.

People saying it's amazing are also just sharing an opinion. All the people who think it's the best game in years just keep ganging up on people who don't like it. This game's fanbase is obnoxious.
Obviously you're not a golfer.
