I’m nervous about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, but only because I desperately want it to succeed

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 looks incredibly promising. I would like it to do well, but my concerns about this game grow bigger as its release approaches.
The January 2025 Xbox Developer Direct showed gamers more than we’ve ever seen so far about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and while it’s plenty, I feel like we still barely know anything about it. Expedition 33 is shrouded in mystery over what critics think ahead of launch compared to other recent RPGs like Baldurs Gate 3, Metaphor: Refantazio, and even Avowed, which hasn’t released yet. All that’s left is the wave of hype from fans and reporters about how the game looks, with some speculating that it’ll be an instant classic. I think that’s a lot of weight to put on Sandfall Interactive’s first release.
