Not sure why they called it Clair Obscur, it's actually quite popular...

Send us Fan MailYou guessed it, what with your highly perceptive ability to read and be aware of current releases, that we are talking about the quite excellent Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 from Sandfall Interactive.But not before we come down from the adrenaline rush that was the Nintendo Switch 2 midnight online preorder blitz that occurred stateside just the other week. It was, in fact, a bit messy (no one would shut up and take our money (yes, that's a timely and not played out reference to a visual meme done poorly in text)).We also ponder the future of Xbox consoles and the potential for MS to become more of a digital service provider, especially considering the recent price increase this late into the current console's lifecycle. Perhaps everything else literally will have to be your Xbox going forward?But finally, we get to Clair Obscur, which is honestly a serious contender for Game of the Year (and not even retailing at the standard price for AAA games - looking at you Mario Kart...). We avoid spoilers for anything past the early to mid-game.Also, we have since finished the title, so some comments we make wondering at the why and how of the setting have been made less....obscure since recording.We also don't make a joke about expedition 69.
