hello everyone and welcome to a pros and
0:03
cons of the video game Claire obscure
0:05
expedition 33 on not nail mom lime
0:09
gaming these are short videos featuring
0:11
gameplay clips or screenshots so as not
0:13
to show too much in the spoiler
0:15
department links to this review are in
0:17
the description below let the reviewing
0:20
begin first the pros epic soundtrack i
0:25
mean there's really nothing else to say
0:27
about this straight from the start and I
0:29
mean on the title screen itself the
0:31
soundtrack is gorgeous and something
0:33
worth listening to from the different
0:35
areas you enter to the combat situations
0:37
to the cutscenes everything's emotional
0:41
point combat unique to each character i
0:44
love that we get so many characters to
0:46
choose to fight with and each one has
0:48
their own unique fighting style it's not
0:50
your average RPG where you've got a
0:52
warrior a mage a healer and all that
0:54
although you can choose to have certain
0:56
characters take those roles depending on
0:59
how you raise their stats and what
1:00
abilities you give them as well as the
1:02
skills they'll be using in combat but I
1:05
mean there's a range of combat from
1:06
eating character skills in order to use
1:08
them for ourselves in combat to someone
1:10
who can manipulate the elements to
1:12
someone who uses cards to destroy foes
1:15
it's just unfortunate not all of them
1:17
can be in a battle at once emotional
1:20
story line well if a prologue doesn't
1:22
make you cry then there's definitely
1:24
another chance the game gives you to
1:26
squeeze out those tears to prove you're
1:27
not completely heartless they've somehow
1:30
made us love the characters so much
1:31
given the effort they're taking to go
1:33
through with the expedition in order to
1:35
get rid of the paintress and while there
1:37
are definitely some humorous spits
1:39
especially when you meet Eske and
1:40
Francois it's all tied up in a really
1:43
tragic festival that continues year
1:45
after year cons: Characters can get
1:49
stuck on debris this is probably the one
1:52
main con that frustrates me when playing
1:54
this game sometimes going through
1:56
certain areas there'll be rocks on the
1:58
ground or an uneven surface and if you
2:00
don't follow the flat ground precisely
2:02
your character can get hung up on the
2:04
debris on the ground which causes them
2:06
to stop moving and you had to go around
2:08
that little bit of debris that shouldn't
2:09
have troubled them in the first place
2:12
it's like not being able to step over a
2:14
stick on the ground come on now and
2:16
Looney floats over the crap so what the
2:18
heck weird camera angles in combat there
2:22
was one battle I went into and I had to
2:24
laugh because when the enemy began
2:25
attacking I was on the opposite side of
2:28
one of my characters heads so I couldn't
2:30
see the enemy in their attack almost at
2:32
all luckily it was an enemy that was
2:34
doing a certain lightning attack so I
2:36
could time it correctly from the
2:37
lightning coming down and then striking
2:40
i don't know what was up with that
2:41
camera angle but there have been some
2:43
others that have been questionable and I
2:45
don't think I really noticed it on my
2:47
first playthrough up to a certain point
2:48
so maybe they did a patch and that made
2:51
wonky i'll say it definitely adds a new
2:54
level of difficulty at times enemies and
2:57
combat can be hard to see i'm being
3:00
nitpicky here but sometimes in a darker
3:02
setting there can be an enemy near the
3:03
main one and it's just not something you
3:05
notice until it attacks or one of your
3:08
multi- attacks hits them and they become
3:10
more noticeable it's more like an ah
3:12
crap situation than anything else no map
3:16
for specific areas this one really hurt
3:19
me i'm so bad at directions and
3:22
remembering where I've been and haven't
3:24
been that a map would have been really
3:25
nice for the different areas we find
3:27
ourselves in there were so many
3:29
instances where I missed things because
3:31
I just forgot I didn't go a certain way
3:32
and then sometimes I'd get lost on
3:34
trying to find the entrance to leave an
3:36
area it was kind of a mess for me in my
3:38
directionally challenged mind i mean you
3:41
think the game was fairly linear and it
3:43
is to a point but there's also so much
3:45
to explore that certain places are not
3:47
as small as they seem only characters in
3:51
XP it's so unfortunate when you get a
3:54
lot of characters but you have to
3:55
shuffle them in and out of your party in
3:57
order for everyone to gain XP
3:59
appropriately in one way it's good
4:01
because you get used to your characters
4:02
all working together in one way or
4:04
another but also sometimes you just like
4:07
to have a certain lineup of them and
4:09
that's the end of our pros and cons
