The upcoming title from the young French studio Sandfall Interactive, titled *Clair Obscur*, is generating significant buzz following early evaluations from gaming media. Critics are applauding the game for its deep narrative, mature tone, and exhilarating combat, with some even drawing comparisons to a modern *Final Fantasy*.
RPG Gamer's reviewer was particularly struck by how *Clair Obscur*, the debut project from these young developers, manages to deliver an experience comparable to that of a veteran studio in just a few hours. If this quality is sustained throughout the game, *Expedition 33*—as the game is also known—could be a strong contender for an award at The Game Awards 2025.
IGN's journalist was left wanting more after the demo session, eager to delve deeper into the game's world and engage in additional battles. They were astounded by the achievements of such a youthful development team.
Kotaku's author goes as far as to predict that *Clair Obscur* will become a turn-based classic, potentially rivaling *Final Fantasy*. They particularly praised the innovative integration of QTE mechanics into traditional turn-based combat, showcasing the game's unique approach.
Reviewers across the board have noted the game's stunning visual style and the mature narrative, further elevating its appeal.
*Clair Obscur* is scheduled for release on April 24, 2025, and will be available on current-generation consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series) as well as PC via Steam.
