Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Receives First Early Impressions from Journalists

Sandfall Interactive, a young French studio, is generating significant buzz with their upcoming title, Expedition 33. Early reviews from gaming media are overwhelmingly positive, praising its deep narrative, mature tone, and thrilling combat. Some critics are even drawing comparisons to the Final Fantasy series, hailing it as a modern classic in the making.

RPG Gamer was particularly impressed by the high level of polish and experience delivered in just a few hours of gameplay, a feat rarely seen from a debut title. If this quality is maintained throughout, Expedition 33 is a strong contender for awards like The Game Awards 2025.

IGN's reviewer was captivated by the demo, expressing a desire for more gameplay and a deeper exploration of the game's world. They, too, were astonished by the achievements of such a young development team.

Kotaku went so far as to predict Expedition 33 will achieve classic turn-based RPG status, comparing it favorably to Final Fantasy and highlighting the innovative integration of QTE mechanics into its traditional turn-based battles.

Reviewers consistently lauded the game's stunning visuals and mature narrative.

Expedition 33 is scheduled for release on April 24, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam).
