This artistically-rich game is worth every penny, even at full price
There are plenty of reasons why Clair Obscur: Expedition is selling millions of copies and getting heaps of critical praise: it's just that good.
This game features an incredible, unforgettable story tinged with much pathos, symbolism, and tragedy, enhanced by an amazing soundtrack that even the most cold-hearted of gamers will be moved to tears by.
The world is a delight to explore, as it's filled with so many wondrous locales and intriguing world-building to uncover.
Additionally, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 excels with its combat system, as it invigorates the JRPG genre's tried-and-true turn-based combat with active-time mechanics to keep things fresh.
Power-leveling won't carry you in this game, as you will need to parry and dodge enemy attacks, and perform context-sensitive button combos to activate special moves in order to survive.
Mastering your party's abilities and figuring out the enemy's attack patterns can be challenging but immensely satisfying when pulled off correctly, and proves that turn-based can still be enjoyable in modern times.
To round things off, this game has tons of hours' worth of optional sidequests to complete and difficult endgame bosses to slay, with more to come in an upcoming free update.
If you've been holding out on a discount on this potential candidate for 2025's Game of the Year, now's the time to do as the PC version is on sale for $31.99 at Loaded for a limited time.
This deal is 44% cheaper than Loaded's regular price of $57.09 and 36% more affordable than the game's MSRP of $49.99, which sounds fairly sweet if you ask me.
