In today’s video, I talk about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the surprise RPG of 2025 that absolutely floored me. If you love the magic of classic Final Fantasy, Persona, or even Xenoblade, this game will give you that feeling all over again.
Made by Sandfall Interactive, a studio started by three ex-Ubisoft developers who broke free from AAA bloat and made something truly personal — this is what happens when passionate people pour everything into a game.
I discuss why I love video games, what they used to be, and how this title reminded me of why I started gaming in the first place. From its incredible combat system, rich worldbuilding, beautiful music, and powerful characters, this is a love letter to the medium.
⚠ ️ NO SPOILERS ⚠ ️ — I’ll tell you what makes it special without ruining anything.
➕ Bonus: I also talk about the state of gaming in 2025, Ubisoft's decline, the power of indie studios, and why Sandfall is one of the most exciting new developers out there.
If you’ve been looking for a game that’s more than just a game — an experience, a statement, an emotional journey — this is it.
📢 Like, comment, and subscribe if this resonates with you. It helps me so much, especially during recovery from surgery (yes, wisdom teeth lol).
🎮 Thank you for being here, friends.
