A deadly painter. A cursed number. A world slowly being wiped from existence.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 drops players into one of the most visually striking turn-based RPGs in years — where every brushstroke is a weapon and every year could be your last.

In this episode of Game Pass or Pass, we dive into:

The unique mix of turn-based strategy and real-time input mechanics

The stunning visual style and what it brings to the genre

How its worldbuilding and narrative stack up against genre classics

Whether this ambitious title lives up to the hype — or paints itself into a corner

🖌️ Is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 a true Game Pass gem — or just style over substance? Find out now.
