First impressions can go a long way, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 makes sure that they count, leaning into the type of poignancy and gravitas that comes with the dark world its characters inhabit. Hinging on the tragedy of its people's circumstances, Clair Obscur's character introductions are a lens not just into the universal experience of living under the Paintress, but how they each respond differently to it. From its prologue alone, the level of depth that goes into its side characters shows how their respective attitudes might clash, or how they bond together in the face of the Gommage, endearing players to their individual struggles that make the death of the Continent that much more devastating. #other #games #can #learn #one
