Forza Horizon 5 might be a few years old, but its vast amount of activities, robust feature set, and superb driving model mean it's still out in front. It isn't perfect — it can feel bloated and overwhelming, the AI is frustrating at times, and the characters and dialogue are a constant weakness. However, behind the wheel, tackling its myriad events and exploring the beautiful open world, it's hard to not be convinced by its optimistic personality and sense of fun. Despite its late arrival on PS5, it still feels showroom fresh.

In so many ways, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 reminded me of numerous classic and contemporary RPGs I love, but developer Sandfall truly understood why those games are special and made the pieces it borrowed its own. The creative turn-based combat system is brilliant, keeping me engaged while impressive visual flourishes bring it all together. The story can be a touch messy or melodramatic at times, but there’s an earnestness to how it frames mortality, grief, and the small moments of joy we find. It doesn’t shy away from the different, destructive ways we may handle loss, either – all of which is delivered through fantastic performances from an A-list cast that give its story the heart it needs to really hit. The contrast between its artistic sensibilities and old-school RPG design philosophy shows a clarity of vision, as if it was scoped just right to focus on the things that matter most, making it a true modern throwback. And so, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 stands strong alongside its inspirations, and I hope that it too can be an inspiration for those who come after.

Per quanto ci riguarda, i capisaldi di un buon gioco di ruolo (d'azione o a turni, occidentale o orientale che sia) sono rappresentati dalla narrativa e dai personaggi, dal sistema di combattimento e dalla colonna sonora, e il team di Sandfall Interactive, peraltro all'opera prima, li ha azzeccati tutti, senza fare il passo più lungo della gamba ma con la forza della passione e della cultura videoludica. Clair Obscur Expedition 33 è la migliore opera d'esordio che vediamo da parecchi anni a questa parte, un brillante compromesso tra la sconfinata ambizione di un team talentuoso e valori produttivi comunque medio-alti ma sostenibili, in un'industria che fatica spesso a far quadrare i conti. Certo, ci sono anche piccole cose che potevano essere rifinite meglio, e l'aspetto meramente tecnico, a fronte di una direzione artistica ed una colonna sonora strepitose, necessita di qualche patch post-lancio, ma questi sono dettagli nel disegno più grande delle cose, in cui il titolo Sandfall Interactive spicca per coraggio e personalità. Clair Obscur Expedition 33 strappa a Sifu, altra opera che abbiamo adorato, il titolo di miglior gioco pubblicato da Kepler Interactive in quasi cinque anni di attività, e siamo sinceramente curiosi di vedere cosa hanno in serbo per noi in futuro i talentuosi team indipendenti che ne compongono la scuderia.

A virtually perfect remaster that maintains the spirit of the original while significantly boosting its visual and mechanical authenticity. Cyrodiil is more inviting—and enjoyable—than ever. It’s an RPG experience not to be missed in 2025.

Steel Seed has a lot of fun aspects, but does fall short in some important parts, such as gameplay and music.

Steel Seed defines humanity, even if it spells it out. There’s little nuance, and the twists about its story aren’t at all surprising.

Steel Seed blends stealth, light parkour, and optional action combat in a post-apocalyptic world, but its lackluster narrative and predictable design prevent it from standing out in the genre.

Steel Seed is cursed by mediocrity. Its combat is a low point, so abrasive that I’d rather restart whole areas when I got caught rather than have to navigate its jank. But it’s real problem is that everything else, from the bland characters and predictable story, to the forgettable locations that the tale takes you through, to the initially fun stealth sections that eventually wear thin, will lose the fight for a spot in my memory as soon as I’m done with this review. That’s a real shame, because there are a small handful of shiny chrome moments to find here, but they are buried under a whole lot of rust.

Steel Seed is a visually stunning stealth action adventure with smooth gameplay and a striking sci-fi world. While its story and characters fall short, its impressive presentation makes it a worthwhile indie experience—just manage your expectations.

Clair Obscur Expedition 33 est assurément une claque à la française qui dégouline d’amour pour le jeu vidéo, et l’art dans son ensemble. Extrêmement généreux dans tout ce qu’il entreprend, on ne pourra lui reprocher finalement que d’en faire parfois un peu trop au risque de frôler l’explosion. On le sent à bout de souffle, à fleur de peau. Il n’y a pas un aspect qui ne va pas au bout des choses et qui ne se tient pas fermement à la vision de ses créateurs quitte à désarçonner, voire déranger. En ce sens, le jeu dégage une créativité et une intelligence intouchable. Les développeurs nous donnent tout ce qu’ils ont, tout ce qu’ils veulent et on le reçoit avec plaisir et émotion. Il ne lui aurait finalement manqué qu’à trouver un bel équilibre et un peu plus de finition pour en faire un réel chef-d'œuvre. Il n’en reste pas moins un excellent jeu et surtout un concurrent sérieux aux plus prestigieuses récompenses de l’année.
