    Dunno how up to date on gaming news you are in general, but there’s a game released this year called Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 made by a relatively small French studio. It’s been extremely well received and is most likely winning Game of the Year as alluded to by the devs of Baldurs Gate 3, the previous year’s winner.

    The story and dialogue is exceptionally well written, graphics and artistic style is stunning, and it’s got probably the best soundtrack to a game I’ve ever heard.

    It somehow melds the best of French culture with JRPG mechanics and improves upon it with like much better storytelling.

    President Macron even acknowledged what an achievement it was for a French company.

    It’s the best gaming experience I’ve had in years and you should really play it if you haven’t already. That is all.

      I’ve almost beat the game and I still have no fucking clue what it’s about but I love the fight mechanics and I have them all looking as stupid as possible like mimes with electroshock hair.

      Seriously the fight mechanics are damn good.
