Fantastic RPG that will get you busy for over 40 hours

Sandfall Interactive's debut outing is an absolute treat for both long time fans of the RPG genre and newcomers alike. By packing the traditional turn based combat with active elements they've upped the pace and engagement from the player. Then by relying on the star power and skill of some fantastic actors to tell their story they gain general appeal to a wider audience and great performances.

A breath taking journey of hope, determination, and the drive to create a future bright with the light of possibility. This game is a work of art from the story all the way to the tiniest of details. More than worth it.

This is a fantastic game that is heavily inspired by your favorite turn based RPGs. It’s Final Fantasy meets Sekiro in France. If I had to complain about anything, it would be the overworld and lack of map.

Was super easy to just grab it and buy it off the floor, price was on par with everyone else too. Super happy with the purchase

Love this game from start to finish story will have you hooked.. hope this review helps, for those who come after.

An innovative turn-based rpg with poor pacing and progression design. Overhyped? Yes.

The game arrived on time, and in perfect condition!

Awesome physical product, with the game actually on the disc

This is a very good game. You play it, and it's fun.

The game is great but came damaged. The top right corner was nicked.

First things first, this is a turn-based RPG from a French developer who took what they loved about JRPGs and turned it something pretty special. If you're into JRPGs, then you may end up liking this. However, it is worth nothing that this game is not easy. I beat the game on normal difficulty, but I did test it out on easy to see the differences and it honestly felt like it didn't do much. This is especially true with the parry and dodge mechanic in this game. The timing for parries and dodging can be pretty tight, and the game kind of expects you to learn how to do them. There are skills that reward you for taking damage, but I don't think they are available at the start. So, yea, please be sure to keep this in mind. That being said, this is a great game. It's not my game of the year, but it's definitely going to be a strong contender for many others.

This game is easily in my top 5. It was an incredible experience, It took bits and pieces of the series we've loved and created something spectacular, a true masterpiece. The music, combat, story, and journey should be experienced by everyone.

yes, it's as good as everyone says it is. i loved every minute i had with this game. i laughed, i cried. extremely fun combat, FANTASTIC music, great return to linear levels/a navigable overworld ala pre-FF10 final fantasy games. characters were complex and loveable, environments were beautiful, enemies were interesting. not a super long game, but long enough. incredible metanarrative on what fiction and reality can mean to us. absolute masterpiece.

Incredible game. Amazing turn based combat, story, and soundtrack. Games like this come don't come around often. If Expedition 33 doesn't win multiple game of the year awards, I'll be truly schocked. Don't pass on this game.

I've played quite a few open world RPGs in my life, including Zelda and Final Fantasy. Expedition 33 breathes new life into the entire genre, and shows that passion has been poured into every aspect of the game, including story, gameplay, and music. Two of my favorite aspects of this game are its punchy battle system and animations, and the new take on over world design and interactions. I hope the gaming industry can take inspiration from this beautiful game and stop being afraid to experiment with new ideas.

I am a die hard JPRG, turn based gamer type of guy. I have my go toes, the FF, DQ, Skies of Arcadia, etc.. You dont see a lot of new IP's coming out. There are so many remakes, and remasters, nothing is original. This has everything, gameplay, story, music, and of course graphics. i have been eyeing this game since for over a year, part of me was thinking this was not going to live up to the hype, ( few do ). I'm glad this one did. im about 12 hours into it. i hope devs look at this and finally go back to taking chances in their games.

Nearly perfect, visuals to animation to music to gameplay. So well refined with a genuinely emotional story that keeps you engaged from start to finish. The casting was great, all the actors put a lot of time and effort to give a good performance, the game felt well balanced. Top contender for game of the year.

Don’t think about it, just buy it. It’s awesome! I thought it was just on other final fantasy copy but no it’s something different and extremely better than that. The game play is exciting for a turn based game and the story is excellently written. If you don’t buy the game at least listen to the soundtrack, the composer did an amazing job.

Expedition 33 is one of the best and most impactful games of the year. It honors JRPGs of the past and picks up the torch from others that have experimented to bring real time action elements into the turn based combat and parry systems. The gameplay is uniquely rewarding, the narrative is engrossing, the art is supremely detailed, the music is god tier, and the whole package of this game is something that shouldn’t be missed by anyone - fans of turn based JRPGs or not. Play this game. Support indies. Support game design that takes risks. Support new teams making sustainable projects. And reward yourself with one of the most highly rated gaming experiences of this - or any - year. The *only* critique I have is a lack of accessibility options - the game may not be accessible to blind/low vision players or those with motor disabilities.
