Naughty little game, enemies love to shoot through walls - that's a little meh but it's a grand ol' time otherwise

Whilst this expansion is on the shorter side, beating it in just over 10ish hours, it's absolutely amazing. An incredible edition to the game that yet again found a way to make me cry. Also, really challenging! This DLC really spikes up the challenge compared to the base game and I had a lot of fun with all the new encounters and bosses.

A must play for Lies of P fans.

Sandfall Interactive, you have made an amazing product. Thank you.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was an absolute delight to playthrough. The characters are amazing and well developed, the landscapes and environments constantly had my jaw on the floor, the soundt- the DAMN SOUNDTRACK is a masterpiece, the combat is engaging and ever evolving with some fights really testing your metal and making you second guess your approach... there's just so much here to talk about that you really just need to play it yourself. Stay away from videos and such talking about it, you NEED to experience this game.

This game will win Game of The Year - there's no question about it. If you disagree, play the game - you'll change your mind.

The devs put their love and soul into this game and it shows through in every single scene. I can't wait to see more from them as a studio.

Play this game.

Easily one of the greatest story games I've played in a very long time, arguably the best in the series.

Hands down, my favourite "souls-like" game out there - over the souls series itself too which I am a HUGE fan of. The developers had a vision and they achieved it. Gameplay is clean and smooth, the VA's are incredible, huge variety in weapons, bosses and locales... you really need to see it yourself.

If you're still thinking about playing it, do it. It's fantastic.

Besides some stuttering and frame drops between areas this game is 100% worth playing. One of the greatest remakes of recent history.

Game was sadly unplayable for me. Messing around with the settings seemed to get me nowhere, jumping between 27 to 80 fps seemingly at random which just made me feel ill.

I refunded the game due to these performance issues.

The game is a lot better now. Optimisation has been improved, but far from perfect. Still get low framerates and stuttering in some areas. I'm able to run the game pretty smoothly on high otherwise. 70-80 frames with a 3070. It's just some areas are worse than others, I would definitely suggest messing with the settings to find your sweet spot.

Otherwise, great game and now playable! - Kinda!

The latest patch that apparently "fixed" stuttering has made the game unplayable for me. I wasn't stuttering before the update but now every minute or so the game just locks up for a second.

I'd wait a few months before buying this game. It's alittle rough.
