9/10

You can feel that this game comes from a passionate AA-studio. There are plenty of small flaws like the lip-syncing is noticeably off sometimes, at times the voice acting felt somewhat flat and could have used more emotional expression, some areas are covered with heavy overwhelming godray-like filters that blur some beautiful environments and a few character interactions that can feel a bit cheesy at times.

But despite these flaws, this game is a certified banger.
The world is mysterious and beautiful, the story is interesting and also misterious and slowly pulls you deeper into a surreal narrative. The characters are solid and i liked listening to them.

Where Clair Obscur also shines, is in the gameplay. The combat is fast, addictive and creative in the best way- it’s constantly rewarding. Every encounter feels dynamic and the way the game blends turn-based mechanics with real-time elements is impressive, fun and also hard.

In the end, the positives absolutely overshadow the negatives by miles.
If you’re looking for a game that offers unique atmosphere, exciting combat, and a story that keeps you thinking without handing you all the answers, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is absolutely worth your time.

S1 had its problems too, no game is perfect but i would rate it an 8/10.

S2 Patch however, is pretty bad.
You die while blocking.
This balancing is like fixing a leaky pipe with gasoline and a lighter.

I understand if you want to make a game accessible for newbies and it's not wrong and it's the same with Tekken 8, but this patch is horribly, even if someone doesn't have any hands, they would still win against a veteran. I know that sounds like im mad about it but its actually the truth.
Believe me, it's even worse.

First, they say, "Yes, we'll listen to you and buff defense and nerf chip damage."

The only thing we got was that almost all characters were at least 5 times easier to play, more wallcarry, even more DMG, and even more chip damage, so that you lose at least 45% of your HP when blocking, but you can't attack because you get a counter hit because everything is now even more plus on block?

Less fun, easier to play and even more tilting. Good fcking job.

- Imagine being such a lazy, greedy as* companny that you resell the same characters. Bought Anna, Fahkumram and Lidia as DLC in Tekken 7, and they are DLC AGAIN in Tekken 8?? Bandai Scamco selling me the same characters like i got dementia.

People were rightfully pissed off about the stupid changes in Season 2. The devs realized it and started nerfing everything that needed to be done. And what happens now?
People are annoyed and are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on Tekken again for nerfing things?? You can't make this up.

Early Access Review

Path of Exile 2 delivers a solid experience with some outstanding highlights, especially in combat. The variety of skill types and the ability to combine them offers endless customization and creativity. The massive skill tree might seem intimidating at first, but it’s surprisingly well-designed. It not only makes sense but genuinely gives you the feeling of growing stronger as you progress. Acts 1 through 3 are where the game shines brightest, providing an engaging experience. Most of the bosses in the game are challenging, well designed, and feature interesting mechanics, making them a genuinely enjoyable part of the experience.

This could easily be a 9/10 game. However, the negatives are too significant to ignore. The Trials, particularly the Trials of Sekhema with its "honour system," are frustrating beyond words—easily one of the most unfun, irritating and annoying mechanics in gaming history. The endgame is another weak point, boiling down to a senseless grind. While it delivers a dopamine rush, it lacks meaningful mechanics to keep you truly engaged. To make matters worse, dying in the endgame comes with absurdly harsh penalties, as if stealing a juice at a store and being punished with the execution of your entire family.

In the end, Path of Exile 2 had the potential to be incredible, but the flaws hold it back now, turning what could have been easily a 9/10 into a 7/10. Overall, still a good game.

.

Unless its getting fixed im not recommending it at all. 4/10 at its best.

Doesn't matter if the game is actually good when there are alot of performance issues. Game's crashing constantly espacially in bossfights.

But the dumbest thing imo is that there is no communication system available. If im joining people i cant even write or help them in any way how a boss encounter works, so they are just dying a gazillion times and are tilted probably and so they are killing teammates and leaving the lobby. Nice gj.

Good.

aight

Would have been an 8/10.

But from chapter 11 it started crashing frequently. Starting at chapter 12 its crashing every 2 to 5 minutes. Not playayble, cant even go to the next checkpoint let alone finish the game. Sad. 6/10

Edit: After wasting more time, i am now at the part where im controlling the rats. I cant control them. Nice. 4/10 uninstalled the game.
