We dive into Claire Obscure: Expedition 33, a stylish turn-based RPG set in a dreamlike, Belle Époque-inspired world where players must defeat the Painteress before she erases another year of humanity's history.

• The game's stunning visuals, world-building, and soundtrack create an immersive experience despite coming from a small development team
• Claire Obscure's combat system blends turn-based strategy with real-time action in a uniquely satisfying way
• Voice performances from Charlie Cox, Andy Serkis, and others bring emotional depth to the characters despite lip-syncing issues
• The game delivers a shocking moment at the end of Act One that forces players to confront grief—one of its central themes
• While attempting several gameplay mechanics beyond its core combat, some elements like platforming and climbing feel less polished
• At 30-40 hours of gameplay with Act Two being particularly lengthy, the game offers substantial content for its price
• Claire Obscure stands as a Game of the Year contender alongside titles like Silksong and Death Stranding 2
