Clair Obscur continues to be one of the best games I've played this gen, up there with Elden Ring in how it is making me feel and I know I can't have much left in it's main story, I'm afraid to finish this and for once I want one of these games to be Atlus sized or at the very least Like a Dragon mainline size and then the side content also. Thankfully the side and post game content keeps things going, the platinum isn't too easy and there is a NG+ with new stuff in it. I'm hoping for a boss gauntlet patch and a photo mode patch too before I set this one aside. I'll be keeping this game installed and like Stellar Blade, I'll be returning often. I've given five games a 10/10 this generation or since 2020 but this is the first 10/10 that is 10/10 and also flawless perfection or at least very, very close. There is almost nothing to forgive and the very minor stuff can be addressed in a patch like Lip Sync for English VA. I suspect they will address it.
Clair obscur E33 is a game, like Versus Evil said above about Stardew, that has brought out every reason why I love video games on all fronts and has brought me great joy. On every definable category it has a chance to win GoTY apart from genre specific awards. It is high art and as they say peak video gaming. I highly recommend the game. I would even say buy two copies and gift one to someone you have a crush on cause they might fall in love with you over it, gift it to your wife so you can lock it in that she'll never divorce you after such a gesture. I can't quite tell yet, til I finish and the dust settles but it's in my top ten at least and has a good chance at reaching into my top 5 amongst games like Bloodborne and The Witcher 3.
