I no longer play video games. It seems a new small group created an awesome game. It was released on Apr 24, 2025. I got fed some info because I listen to a Russian amateur musician who plays video game music. She is also a geek and gamer. Her recent covers were for Witcher 3 music which is 10 years ago. She did a cover for a Clair Obscur Expedition 33 song 6 weeks after release.That is unusual for her.

QuoteAs of May 27, 2025, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has sold 3.3 million copies worldwide, 33 days after its release on April 24, 2025. This figure does not include additional downloads through Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass.

What's crazy is that Lorien Testard, the game's composer is just some random they found on SoundCloud who had never even worked on a videogame before, yet he was able to create the masterpiece that is this game's soundtrack. I haven't heard videogame music this good since Marty O'Donnell's Halo music. It's instantly iconic

In short all the excuses as to why modern games suck are exposed.

Looks awesome, though I don't do RPG, but it looks like $50.0 is well worth every dime.
