[Video Games] What are you playing? (Omikron Edition)

Did that price include the 3700 DLC's?

 

I just finished Claire Obscure: Expedition 33 and it's an absolute masterpiece.

The story, music, visuals, and voice acting are all top notch. The turn based combat is not everyone's cup of tea, but I liked it. The pacing is almost perfect with no grinding or fetch quests. The last time I was this invested in the characters was probably Dragon Age Origins or KOTOR 2.

What Sandfall Interactive was able to achieve as their first game with a small team is amazing.

Absolute buy if you're a fan of RPGs. Even if you're not an RPG fan, it's worth looking into if you like good story telling. I would say it's fairly easy RPG to pick up, unlike Baldur's Gate 3.

 

I may have to try this game one day. Just looking at video clips/trailers, it just seems like a game with too damn much going on visually. lol. But I've been wrong about games before, and maybe I'm wrong about this one.

 

The background visual are definitely striking in a good way IMO. The animation during battle can get a little much, but luckily most battles are short and only involving a handful of characters. So it's not a visual overload like most hack and slash game.

I would one drawback is that there is not much 'on the fly' strategy during battles. There is a ton of min-maxing in how you build your character, but not much in actual battle.
