Expedition 33’s wonderful homage to classic turn-based RPGs, and how it gives me a feeling most RPGs haven’t given me in a while. Its economy with scale, complex and rewarding systems, and the feel-it-in-your-bones melodrama makes even its most vicious moments hurt so good.

Releasing to immense critical acclaim, Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is so popular that it's attracted French President Macron's attention.

The eccentrically titled RPG is a hit with gamers and critics, and physical copies are flying out of stores. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is looking more and more like one of the standout video games of the year. But if you're looking to grab yourself a physical copy, you might be waiting a little bit longer.
