Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 players face a gommage of their own as the French JRPG's update makes its hardest bosses even nastier: "I had to figure out how to parry attacks on the hardware level"

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 lead Gustave faces a gommage.

Fresh from winning a record number of awards at The Game Awards, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 just got an update for experienced players. Reworked bosses and a new area were added to the RPG, and if you were looking for a challenge, you’ll find one, because these fights are taking a toll.

The Thank You Update takes encounters from Clair Obscur's main game and tweaks and buffs them, with the battles ultimately "designed to be even more challenging," say the patch notes. This may be underselling what developer Sandfall Interactive has done here, since the likes of the Doullistes, Lampmaster, and Simon are basically gommaging seasoned expeditioners.
