The acclaim of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and the backstory behind its development seem to parallel Hollow Knight, demonstrating the raw potential smaller-scale independent games continue to have within the industry. While the stories and worlds of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33and Hollow Knight might be far removed from one another, these debut games from their respective indie developers represent two sides of a coin that AAA studios seem to miss the mark on. With most RPGs focusing on action as of late, the likes of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's turn-based combat and Hollow Knight's blend of Soulsborne and Metroidvania genres offer like-minded, refreshing alternatives. #hollow #knight #clair #obscur #are
