Critic Reviews


Atarita - Alparslan Gürlek - Turkish - 75 / 100
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 creates a touching experience with its engaging plot, great narrative and excellent soundtrack, but its gamification problems hindered its potential.


But Why Tho? - Arron Kluz - 7 / 10
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a competent new JRPG with which genre fans will likely be pleased. However, it does very little to iterate on the foundation laid by those that came before it. Instead, it's content to offer its flavor of what has worked before.


CGMagazine - Chris De Hoog - 10 / 10
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a master-crafted RPG, blending several trends into a hybrid system that's as unrelenting as its heart-wrenching plot.


Capsule Computers - Dustin Spencer - 9 / 10
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is an ambitious take on an old genre that is just as gratifying to look at as it is to engage in. A new franchise is born.


Checkpoint Gaming - Charlie Kelly - 10 / 10
Blasting the door down and becoming an instant masterpiece classic, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 defies all expectations and ambitions and then some. Looking at decades of genre refinement and somehow still managing to innovate, creating immensely tactical, thought-provoking and rich combat is nothing short of a miracle achieved at the hands of Sandfall Interactive. Accompanying it is an entirely fresh and magnificent world full of wonders and beauty, even despite its intricate and often harrowing narrative that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Like Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and so many RPGs that have come before it, the little expedition that could will be plastered across history with the greats. Bravo.



Daily Mirror - Aaron Potter - Unscored
Prior to my three hours of hands-on time playing this preview, I went in expecting Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 to be an underdog, yet the deeper I delved into its mechanics and systems I came out thinking it had the potential to be one of 2025's standout titles.

Fextralife - Castielle - 9.5 / 10
Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is a once in a generation title that transcends gaming, and approaches a work of art. From it's unique and compelling story, its cast of characters that are some of the best in the industry, a world design that feels more like a painting rather than a video game, and the other the top combat animations that are larger than life, Expedition 33 has it all! My personal favorite game this year, and now one of my all time favorite games as well. Don't miss out one of the most memorable experiences you can have in entertainment, and get this Day 1!


GRYOnline.pl - Maciej Pawlikowski - Polish - 9.5 / 10
If I were a teenager still, this game would ingrain itself into my brain the same way Final Fantasy VII did in 1997. Right now, when there are numerous predictions about the death of single player games, when creativity is shackled by the sales department, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a true gem worth every praise.


GamePro - Kevin Itzinger - German - 89 / 100

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 defied my expectations with its unique charm, offering an engaging narrative, beautiful design, and diverse gameplay that kept me entertained throughout, even if its ambition occasionally led to confusing mechanics and cluttered menus.


Gamepressure - Giancarlo Saldana - 10 / 10
Simply put, Sandfall Interactive's debut game is a masterclass in presentation, storytelling, and gameplay. It's a game you need to play to experience.


Gamesource Italia - Fabio Valbonetti - Italian - 9 / 10
Thanks to its setting, its fantastic combat system and its emotional story, Expedition 22 is one of the greatest game I've played in the past few year


GamingBolt - Ravi Sinha - 9 / 10
Paying homage to those that came before yet bursting with its own creativity, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a must-play title for RPG fans.


Just Play it - Lamine BENYAHIA - Arabic - 9 / 10
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is one of the most stunning surprises of this generation delivering a deep philosophical story set in a visually breathtaking world with gorgeous graphics and an addictive turn-based combat system! With its tense battles and unpredictable twists, it'll keep you on the edge of your seat. If you're looking for an experience that echoes the best of turn-based while adding modern and innovative touches then this game definitely deserves a spot on your must-play list.


KonsoliFIN - Niko Lähteenmäki - Finnish - 5 / 5
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a masterpiece that clearly draws inspiration from other RPG's, but does so with such elegance and skill that it stands firmly on its own in an overcrowded genre – thanks in part, of course, to its own unique tricks. In an age of cynicism and uncertainty, it's wonderful to get our hands on something this magical.


MondoXbox - Valerio Tosetti - Italian - 9.7 / 10
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is destined to become a classic, with a deep and well-written storyline, a spectacular soundtrack and top-notch graphics, along with a well-tuned combat system. One of the best JRPGs around.


MonsterVine - James Carr - 4 / 5
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 not only deftly improves upon the idea of active turn-based combat, but delivers it in a gorgeous and realized world. The characters are incredible, it dodges some of the more grating aspects of turn-based RPGs, and delivers a mature, and at times haunting, story, without falling into the traps of too much violence for the sake of maturity. A big narrative turn flattens the experience, and a few too many rough edges keep it from masterpiece status, but it is still an incredible experience.


Niche Gamer - Throgmorton Belmont - 10 / 10

One More Game - Vincent Ternida - 10 / 10
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a resounding triumph from Sandfall Interactive. It delivers a refreshingly bold RPG experience that stands out in a genre often crowded with titles that miss the mark. With meticulous balance, the game offers a blend of old meets new while crafting a tightly woven narrative alongside an excellent turn-based combat system that is simple to learn and strategically deep.


PSX Brasil - Bruno Henrique Vinhadel - Portuguese - 90 / 100
Masterful in artistic and narrative aspects and with an impeccable soundtrack, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is one of the best surprises of the year and stands out positively in a market that has started to charge too much for experiences that don't deliver what they should.


PlayStation Universe - Timothy Nunes - 9.5 / 10
I do not say this spontaneously or hyperbolically: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a generational RPG. The quality of writing is pitch-perfect at every step, vividly depicting the somber world and its tragic circumstances with glorious technique. Combat always feels rewarding when successful, but it can feel like a slog if you don't get the hang of the parry and trait systems. The linear nature of the game helps to balance out the lack of mini-map, so try and not let those factors keep you away from at least trying this brilliant game.


Push Square - Liam Croft - 9 / 10
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is one of the most refreshing and original RPGs in years, even if it's not immediately obvious from the outside looking in. The intriguing setup expands to provide an engrossing, excellent narrative with lovable and charismatic characters. The exemplary combat goes above and beyond its turn-based traditions with flashy fights and new ways to damage. This is the kind of experience that proves there's still so much potential and creativity in the bigger-budget video game space - Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is simply sublime.


Quest Daily - Shaun Fullard - 9.5 / 10
Expedition 33 is a game that spoke to my soul. I quickly fell in love with this awe-inspiring yet melancholic world and the survivors left in it, and even though it tore my heart to shreds multiple times, I'd happily do it all over again.


RPGamer - Ryan Costa - 5 / 5
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a journey that blasts the senses from beginning to end. The melancholic and bleak moments are balanced by the characters' perseverance, which makes their triumphs shine much brighter. There's a profound sense of style and substance that only expands as more of the world is uncovered. What results is a true work of art that ties its brilliant components together into a complete package, which is awe inspiring to come from a freshman developer.


Restart.run - Logan Woerner - 4 / 5
After a swift 30 hours with the game, I will happily tell you how Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 exceeded my expectations and left me curious for more.



SavePoint Gaming - Zhiqing Wan - 7 / 10
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 may be predictable at times, but it's bolstered by its excellent voice cast and compelling turn-based combat.


Sirus Gaming - Erickson Melchor - 10 / 10
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a rare triumph for such a small studio. The devs at Sandfall Interactive aimed for the stars, and they delivered a game that JRPG fans have always wanted from a Western studio. I can't recommend this game enough.


Spaziogames - Domenico Musicò - Italian - Unscored
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 could really be the JRPG that 90s nostalgics wanted so much to have in its most evolved and not excessively contaminated form. All the elements seem to be in the right place, and although it is not one of the most expensive productions (which is a good thing), the potential to do things in a big way is quite evident.


TechRaptor - Erren Van Duine - 9 / 10
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a milestone achievement for Sandfall Interactive. Fans of turn-based RPGs should be right at home with its traditional stylings tuned for a modern age, and while difficulty can ramp up without warning, the challenge of getting through each battle makes it all worthwhile.


The Nerd Stash - Julio La Pine - 10 / 10
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a masterful RPG. It brings a stunning art style that stays front and center while revamping a classic combat system into something engaging and accessible. It's an easy contender for GOTY and a terrific debut for Sandfall Interactive.


Tom's Hardware Italia - Giulia Serena - Italian - 9.5 / 10
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will captivate you from the very first moment. We are talking about a work that manages to stand out in the RPG landscape for its extraordinary ability to blend narrative, art direction, and game mechanics into a cohesive and deeply evocative experience. Sandfall Interactive gives us a tale dense with emotions and brilliant moments, where the pain of grief intertwines with resistance, memory, and the struggle for survival.
However, it's not just the narrative aspect that works well: the combat system, a hybrid of turn-based and real-time action, represents one of the game's highlights, offering deep and never repetitive dynamics that enhance each character's unique traits and satisfy both RPG enthusiasts and those who want to enjoy a more relaxed experience. The art direction, on the other hand, is a true homage to Impressionist and Symbolist painting, with scenarios that look like they were taken from an art gallery and settings inspired by a dreamlike, deconstructed Paris.
In short, Expedition 33 is not just a journey through decadent lands and evocative settings: it's a path that constantly challenges the perception of reality and dream, light and darkness, life and death. With solid longevity, a world rich in activities, and a surprisingly polished technical aspect, the title emerges not only as one of the most fascinating and significant surprises in the genre, but also as one of the best video games (so far) of this 2025.


VDGMS - Darren Andrew - 9.5 / 10
Final Fantasy, Persona, Chrono Trigger are just some of the inherent influences, but it was the inspiration from Sekiro and the French heritage of Sandfall Interactive that made Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 feel like the dawn of a new era of turn-based RPG's, as it equally pays tribute to those who came before, as much as it innovates for those who will come after.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a breath of fresh air because it prioritizes a compelling vision over following trends. It doesn't resort to witty sarcasm in its dialogue or try to capitalize on current popular settings for the story, and there isn't an attempt to infuse the latest real-time gameplay gimmicks. Sandfall have made a bold decision, especially considering it's their debut title, to deviate from modern RPG conventions. Trends don't age well, but artistic vision does and Expedition 33 has all the markings of becoming a timeless classic.


WellPlayed - Mark Isaacson - 9.5 / 10
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a confident new IP, bold in its execution and not afraid to mix old and new ideas. It's a stunning achievement, born from passion and raised within technical excellence equal to the best in the business. Go in unspoiled and be ready for a truly rewarding experience.


XGN.nl - Luuc ten Velde - Dutch - 9.4 / 10
Sandfall Interactive delivers an impressive first game with this turn-based RPG that channels JRPG's like Persona and Final Fantasy. The game tells a fantastic story and offers stunning visuals to boot.



XboxEra - Jesse Norris - 9.5 / 10
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a beautifully inventive, heart-breaking experience of love, loss, and the will to survive


Zoomg - Afshin Piroozi - Persian - 9 / 10
All in all, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 stands out as one of the biggest surprises of 2025 so far — a title that boasts a deep, unpredictable story, meticulously crafted gameplay and combat systems, and top-tier visual and audio presentation. This game isn't just for fans of turn-based RPGs; it has the potential to impress anyone who appreciates high-quality experiences. Even if you're not typically drawn to turn-based games, I highly recommend giving this polished gem a try — it's well worth investing at least 30 hours of your playtime.

Characters
Characters - Lead the members of Expedition 33 on their quest to destroy the  Paintress so that she can never paint death again. Explore a world  of wonders inspired by Belle Époque France and battle unique  enemies in this turn-based RPG with real-time mechanics.


Once a year, the Paintress awakens and paints her cursed number on the monolith.

And everyone of that age turns to smoke, fading into nothing.

With each passing year, the number falls. More are erased. Soon, she will wake and paint "33." And we will embark on our final mission—to destroy the Paintress and end her cycle of death, forever.
Gustave (voiced by Charlie Cox) is a resourceful engineer, fighting to defeat the Paintress and reclaim a future for Lumière's children.

As an engineer, he has dedicated his life to the city's defence and agricultural systems, striving to protect and provide for his people. Now, as an Expeditioner, he devotes his final year of life to defeating the Paintress and reclaiming a future for Lumière's children.

At 16 years of age, Maelle is significantly younger than the other Expeditioners. Unlike them, she views the Expedition as her chance to explore the world beyond Lumière and finally forge her own destiny.

Children in Lumière love hearing stories about the mythical Esquie and his whimsical adventures.  Legends say that Esquie is the most powerful being in the world, able to soar through the heavens and dive deep beneath the sea. Legends also say… he's lazy.  Born at the dawn of time, what secrets does Esquie keep?
