Prolific Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 actor who played 5 major roles may be an integral part of the RPG, but she doesn't care for its parrying: "I need to work on my inner peace"

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's Estelle Darnault is arguably the game's lead actor in the sense that she plays five majors roles across the French RPG, lending her voice and mocap skills to Sophie, Sciel, Aline, Alicia, and the entity at the centre of the story's existential crisis, The Paintress. But despite her voice being littered about the entire epic, she herself hasn't quite been able to nail the game's essential parrying.

For those who haven't been graced by Expedition 33 yet, the turn-based combat puts a lot of emphasis on Super Mario RPG-style, timing-based prompts. Pressing buttons at the right time might let you block an attack or altogether dodge it, though if you're really quick-thumbed, you can parry basically everything.
