Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 News

Following up an award-hoarding hit with a sequel is a tough gig - innovations and new content may upset those that worshipped the original, and the expectation bar will always be set sky high.

With version 1.0 arriving tomorrow, September 25, critic reviews have just come flooding in.
