    Hello Legion Gamers!

    After all the waiting, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is finally out!


    The game was in the spotlight for a while, with critics praising all aspects of it: graphics, actors, gameplay, narrative and sound. So much so that the game got greenlit for a live movie adaptation before it even launched. The game features an array of voice talent, from Final Fantasy's Ben Starr to the Lord of The Ring's Andy Serkis. This game is his precious 😉 @GoLLuM13 what do you think? You can understand the epic soundtrack, too:


    And now, after all the praises and anticipation and glowing reviews, the game is out, and all can finally play it. @Telomina, what's your take on it, will you stream it sometime?

    I wonder if they have any DLCs planned, that's the question that interests me most...

    I already streamed it for 2h this morning! It's looking up to be a hell of an adventure.

    @Telomina Good to know it's got your seal of approval! I want to play it, but I want to be clear on DLC plans first. Lies of P had them, for example.

    I hear good thing about this game and many say it will probably a new successful franchise (and it's French 👀). Haven't heard anything about DLCs but if I find anything I'll let you know 😁

    Sooo looking forward to playing this! It's got one of the best narrative hook in recent years.

    Thank you @GoLLuM13 Though I feel I must ask, do you think it should be a franchise? Some games work well as one, like Baldur's Gate or Mario. But some may shine brightest when they are a standalone masterpiece, like Stardew Valley. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 falls more into "franch potench" category?

    @miskkie It's one of the most played games on Steam right now, it seems. So looks that way.

    @ZaidH Not sure about recent years, I mean, we did get Baldur's Gate 3 😉 But it is up there, and probably the best narrative of the year so far.

    @DoctorEldritch Oh yeah, Baldur's Gate 3 probably has a better narrative, but when you put BG3 and Expedition 33's official story synopsis side by side, E33 seems like a much more interesting game.

    Baldur's Gate 3
    ------------------------
    Gather your party and return to the Forgotten Realms in a tale of fellowship and betrayal, sacrifice and survival, and the lure of absolute power.
    Mysterious abilities are awakening inside you, drawn from a mind flayer parasite planted in your brain. Resist, and turn darkness against itself. Or embrace corruption, and become ultimate evil.
    From the creators of Divinity: Original Sin 2 comes a next-generation RPG, set in the world of Dungeons & Dragons.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
    ---------------------------------------------
    In a world inspired by the Belle Époque era, a mysterious entity known as the Paintress decrees death annually by painting ages on a monolith, causing individuals above a certain age to disintegrate.
    Those with only one year left join a desperate mission to end this curse.
    Players follow protagonist Gustave and his companions Maelle and Lune as they battle eerie monsters and explore mesmerizing environments.

    Instantly sold after reading E33's story setup 😁 So happy the game crossed the one million copies sold mark.
