Anybody here like popcorn?
I couldn’t really tell you why.
In a way,Clair Obscur: Expedition 33is my popcorn game.
I like Clair Obscur.
Not sure I could tell you why.
The only question is whether this is salt or sugar.
Then there are those uncooked kernels and rough fragments.
This arrives in the form ofFlintlock: The Siege of Dawn.
Unfortunately, every time I look at Clair Obscur, I am reminded of Flintlock.
Firstly, they look very similar, and are likely each playing the same subtle trick.
They also both share a publisher - Kepler Interactive - which may imply a shared design philosophy.
Many features in Flintlock, like its novel reloading system, could be described in the same way.
Can Clair Obscur Stand Next To Classic JRPGs?
Then we come to the big question - is it filling?
Clair Obscur, if nothing else, is trying.
But the banter between party members in the recent trailer feels flat.
Tropey bickering, melodramatic stakes, and grasping at being cool instead of being real.
Its biggest redeeming factor might be whether or not I get to eat it at the movies.
If that’s not the perfect environment to play a video game, I don’t know what is.
