Stunning visuals, innovative combat, prime melodrama

I thought everyone looked like this so liar Clearly Darkness: Expedition 33. The debut game from a red French studio from an independent French studio, which is less than 30 employees, and in the past five years in video games and movies. Expedition 33 It’s a high level Voice actorsAndy Serkis, Charlie Cox, Shala NYX and Jennifer, including English. Froze received Epic Megagrant in 2022It was taken by this Pacific drive In 2023, the publisher Kepler was interactive and it was tentle In 2025, the first showcase of the XBOX. Although the game is not until April, the story cuisine has already signed it to turn it into live film.

At the very least, falling in love seemed an easy game.

After playing for more than three hours Expedition 33I understand all – the hype, fast love and written in the game, the actor, the quiet alarm created by the world and mechanics. Expedition 33 Innovative and absolutely striking.

Expedition 33 A surreal is felt like a prestige drama built in a little Gothic 3D landscape. Founded in a tunal melodrama and visually reminded GameBut Belle Époque styles and diabolical magic mountains. Lumière kingdom was consumed strongly in Peyner – every year a new number is painted in the tower, and all the people of this age are dying immediately. It is estimated for more than half a century, first kills the oldest citizens and only painted 33. Lumière sends annual expeditions to stop the artist, but all so far was greeted with death. The expeditionary heroes have a year to live in the age of 33.

When we met Gustave from advance, things do not go well for the 33rd expedition. His party was ambushed by a mysterious white-haired man – the more elderly – and Gustave alone. Gustave magic has a robot arm and many French mustaches, and he leaves to watch the other survivors from the watery forests and the dark caves. He finds some, but only after he killed him for despair. Lune, a strong willed and scientific mage appears in time to save Gustave from him, and together Maelle, Gustave’s introverted, but meet with a strong foster sister.

Your party supports six playable characters in the full game, but previews these three. Prestige-drama stems from the interactions of the vibes, especially their identity clashes. In a cutscene, Lune and Gustave, sitting in a star room in a starry night, screaming about the ethics of screaming ethics. Gustave shouts among the tirads, “Mission dick!”

Finally, their intensity decreases and conversation returns to an initial affectionate space. At the end of the stage, the lunes, who smiles and says: “Fuck the mission? Really?”

Gustave answers “Sorry”. And suddenly, both the relationship between Lune and Gustave, but also in a deep way of friends who come to Maelle and save. It doesn’t really hurt that Cutscenes is really bright, true skin tissues and dirty checks and all the actors are really spectacular with beautiful performances.

Battle from cutscenes, Expedition 33 It is bright.

In advance, the environments are more surreal, Lune and Maelle are closer than the artist hidden along the deep seas and large land masses. They walk through strawberries by hovering in the medium of magic, abdomen in the middle air and decorated buildings, broken and strangely and unimpeded insects. Anthropomorphized rock enemies walk the lands and chrome – currency, essence – find – some rises hiding from the line. We are not talking Languid Tire levels, but the sense of interest is definitely awarded.

While researching, you can change between party members without stepping and the Lune turned out to be my clear love. Instead of escaping, it is like flying a few inches above a few inches from the ground and it is like to fly through a dream to embody it. Running (or walking really fast) is excellent in the game, which is also the system caught flying over the gaps and plants. There are lifts and all the light handles that work as a treat and the threads of light.

The feeling of the game as the dream only in flying waters, it seems that he looks like the bottom of the ocean and behaves, as if it will be found in bubbles, shipwrecks, whales and all. You are breathing, walking, you run, and here are normal to waste, but there are swimming schools with air and the water line is higher in appearing above. Spectacular trippy.

I could only spend the rest of this review to the right Expedition 33Let’s talk – a spectacular environment, characters and enemies or his best writing, music and graphics – but talk battle.

Expedition 33 Clean JRPG is a play-based game with effects, but adds a twist to the traditional combat system: requires fast time. Your party members have a free target movements that can use a certain skill or flat old attack, plus the weakness of the enemy’s weakness, which can snip before the full holidays. There are elementary weapons to supply and upgrade and each character works in a combat mechanic. Gustave uses an extreme loading system that strengthens the robot arm for a special action, Lune uses Maille keys between elementary spots and three fencing clashes to collect special damage. Balancing healing, buffs, defensive actions and attacks make a thin dance Expedition 33and began to read all three of the three-visible three members, and to read different types of elemental damage and rub.

Unlike a traditional shift, there are real-time instructions included in your skill attacks, and it performs bonus injuries and effects. The last fantasy series was a toy for success mixed with this idea, but inside Expedition 33 This is a critical, delicate-adjustable system and I love the tension he created. Quick-time elements, adding a few additional dopamin to the classic press and waiting rhythm, adding a few additional dopamin to add a few additional dopamine to a loop. Every QTE will not only punish the request and not only offensive actions that get treatment in real time. Dodging is important skills in parrying and jumping Expedition 33And these mechanics require your attention with the return of every enemy.

In short, you will not be able to lower the controller during battle Expedition 33. And yes, I’m completely here for it.

Maybe when each character turns, each character is dramatically a pose, but the battle has a different persona defect (and this is a great thing in my book). Meanwhile, the soundtrack of the game has echoes Nier: Automatic and Tetris: EffectAnd in general, even cartridge battles can be a little emotional experience.

This preview will not enter the interests of the interest in the interest of the storage after 3,000 words, but I will not enter the features of the rising trees and resources, but I said that these systems were purposeful and responded. I was pleased with how often my party would be, and there were enough signs for each character, and the effects of my stat manipulation seemed clear in the battle immediately. Make sure, Expedition 33 a RPG.

Nevertheless based on a preview, Expedition 33 seems incredibly polished. At a macro level does not sound silent without problems, but the smallest details of the smaller detail, but also each stage, but also a silent text box, including the smallest details, including the non-transparent text box, which even combines a girl in Cutscenes. All preview is impressive.

He said that I wonder Expedition 33 have also impressive, technically speaks. I did not encounter an RTX 4070 super, but I did not encounter any problems, but locking 60 FP in 1440p. It feels like a game that will break many hearts and PC parts. And this is not just PC – I’m interested in seeing how Expedition 33 PlayStation 5 will work on any console that does not pro.

But this is an idea to review. Last review for Expedition 33 It illuminates why red interactive Launch so much in advance and support. Expedition 33 It consists of fine contradictions: it is a JRPG, but comes from a western studio. A fantasy RPG built outside of these restrictions Dungeons & Dragons the rules. It is an indie game that is visible, sounding and feeling AAA. Most, Expedition 33 refreshing.

Expedition 33 On April 24, PC hit the PlayStation 5 and Xbox series X / s.
