The upcoming title from the young French studio Sandfall Interactive, *Clair Obscur*, is making waves in the gaming community, with early evaluations from gaming media praising its deep narrative, mature tone, and thrilling combat. Some reviewers have even gone as far as to call it a modern *Final Fantasy*.
RPG Gamer's reviewer was particularly impressed by the fact that the debut project from these young developers managed to deliver an experience comparable to that of a studio with decades of experience, all within just a couple of hours. If this level of quality is sustained throughout the entire game, *Expedition 33* could be a strong contender for an award at The Game Awards 2025.
An IGN journalist was left wanting more after the demo gameplay session, eager to explore the game's world further and engage in additional battles. They were astounded by the achievements of such a youthful development team.
Kotaku's author predicts that *Clair Obscur* will become a turn-based classic, likening it to a new *Final Fantasy*. They particularly admired the innovative integration of QTE mechanics into traditional turn-based battles, adding a fresh twist to the genre.
Reviewers across the board have also commended the game's stunning visual style and the maturity of its narrative.
*Clair Obscur* is scheduled for release on April 24, 2025, and will be available on current-gen consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series) and PC via Steam. With such early acclaim, this game is poised to be a must-play for fans of deep storytelling and engaging combat.
