Overview
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is Sandfall Interactive's debut single-player RPG, published by Kepler Interactive. In a world inspired by Belle Époque France, the Paintress paints a number each year and people at or above that age disappear. Gustave, Maelle and the other members of Expedition 33 set out to break the cycle.
OtaHub's take
Combat combines turn-based action selection with real-time inputs, keeping players involved when enemies attack. The party travels through strange landscapes and follows the traces of earlier expeditions. Sandfall confirms a 24 April 2025 launch on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Verdict
Expedition 33 suits players seeking a story-focused RPG with hands-on combat. Turn-based battles do not remove the need to react and time inputs. It is a 2025 release, even when included in recommendations for games to play in later years.
