Oh my god. I'm telling you. I TEACH other authors how to write, and that game makes me look stupid by comparison. They even used a twist that I believed for my entire life was a hallmark of bad writing, but instead of ruining the story, it ELEVATED it. HOW? Not to mention it has Charlie Cox, Jennifer English, Andy Serkis (who is extremely picky about the roles he chooses), and many more. The scenes and conversations are so... human. The story is gripping and emotional. The combat is... kind of like turn based Elden Ring, really. I'm not a From Software fan, but Clair Obscur feels equal parts beauty and brutality. I'm floored. I NEVER New Game +, and I'm doing one on this game. Please do yourself a favor and play it, or watch it as a movie on YouTube. It puts everything I've written to shame, and I'm absolutely taking notes.
