It scooped up countless awards and amazed fans with its brilliant art direction, addictive combat and gut-punching narrative. Every act finished with a jaw-dropping revelation, and it was ed on many critics' GOTY lists. What makes its success so shocking is that it was made by only a handful of people, some of whom had no gaming experience whatsoever. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a masterclass in gaming...and there's more to come in 2027! One of the strongest elements that made Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 so special was the music. Its orchestral symphony is equal parts haunting and majestic. I just have to think of the game and Lumiere is already playing in my head ad nauseam.

Songs like Lumiere, Sirene and Goblu have this ethereal quality that transports you to this convincing other wordly place. While tracks like Une Via a T’Amier help to raise the stacks in an epic boss battle, making your heart pound as you try to win an impossible fight. And then there's Monoco, a funky jazz number that is bound to bring a smile to your face...just like the character himself!
