It’s been three months since Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 launched, and I still can’t stop thinking about and playing it. Clair Obscur’s story is excellent, and developer Sandfall Interactive crafted a combat system that is tremendously layered, with its party members’ abilities easily synergizing, and also tremendously challenging, at times.
