I’m a little over six hours into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and it’s already become one of my favorite games of the year. I’m far from alone: it’s reviewed extremely well and, despite fierce competition, it's garnered enough interest to sell over a million copies in just a week. What makes it more remarkable is that it's a debut game from a relatively small team of developers that managed to craft one of the most imaginative narratives I’ve played through in a long while.
But it’s not just that Expedition 33 delivers and follows through on one hell of a premise. It’s how that premise is delivered that makes it exceptional. It’s a crying shame that my poor sense of direction is ruining this otherwise perfectly-paced instant classic.
