See All5 Turn-Based RPGs With Better Combat Than Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
I didn't even realize that the cast of E33 was mostly female until you pointed it out. Like, yeah it's obvious now that you point it out, but it's done naturally with excellent writing so it just seems to blend into the background. There's no token character whatsoever.
And I think that's what people are tired of. Stop making token, stereotypical characters for the sake of making the game diverse. Write diversity naturally into the game's story instead.
You're Probably Sleeping on This 92 Game Pass Metacritic Masterpiece from 2025 (And It's Not Expedition 33)
I think it took me about 20h to beat the game, but yeah I feel like we've barely scratched the surface (my wife and I play together because she's a better notetaker than me)
Forget Marvel, Capcom’s Award-Winning Action Game Made Me Feel Like A Superhero in 2003
I loved Viewtiful Joe. I only ever played the first one at my friend's house because I didn't have a GameCube, but it was definitely a standout game of his collection.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Developer Reveals Expansion Plans After AA Success
It might be neat to play as Expedition 0 or something. Or, silly idea, a cozy game where you rebuild Lumière.
Nintendo Switch: 10 Best Games To Play In Short Bursts
I play Switch primarily on the go, when I'm traveling. I normally play PS5 at home but if there's a switch exclusive then ofc I'll play at home.
Good list, BTW. I'd add Bury Me, My Love. It's a narrative experience that you play by texting. I don't know how it works on Switch, but at least on mobile this entails waiting in real time for a response from the game, which will surface itself as a message notification (from the game, of course). So by definition you kinda have to play it in short bursts (you can turn the wait time off, but I felt it more immersive)

I am nearing the end of Nine Sols. I think I'm gonna miss the parry mechanic when I play other MVs.
