The record assessment of expedition 33 cannot be touched

I wrote an article at the weekend in which Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the role-playing game of the first developer Sandfall, was indeed the highest game in metacitic history.

Now the players have caught the wind of it. Some crowded back and said it was early and this was only based on a few hundred reviews that played super early. Well, the people have played over the weekend, and there are now 600% more ratings up to 3,300, and the score actually has increased Up to a 9.7/10 of a 9.6 before.

I said that it is possible that the scores will sink in time, but what has just happened here, expedition 33's title of the highest game achieved on this platform. Nothing else is close or soon nearby.

These thousands of ratings mean that many of these total points have already been handed over to the games that are best valued by the best -valued games on the metacritical list. And again this is not a close competition. I was only able to find a 9.3, the blood and wine DLC from Witcher 3. Every other historical game you have ever heard of is between 8.9 and 9.2. Yes, that. Yes, that too. Check everyone you like.

So, is Clair obscur: Expedition 33 Strictly speaking 0.5 out of 10 better than any game in history? I haven't played it yet (I'm starting today), but I heard the praise and I mean … still no. I don't buy that. I do not say that the game does not deserve high scores, but we see a certain amount of a “love bomb”, the opposite of a evaluation bomb. Early impressions are so good that people extend to give 10 seconds. Then articles are written about the scores (more than just mine) and people fly back to even give them more 10s, therefore increased by 600% and connect the score for 24 hours. I saw this in other games, Stellar Blade finally comes to mind, but even that ultimately has a 9.2. Nevertheless, I've never seen anything like that.

I mean whatever. Give him this honor. It sounds like a universally beloved game and if we want to hand over this performance to this tiny studio for an astonishing game, I am everything for it. But what has just happened is that this will be as supple like The The top goal game in the foreseeable future, which you certainly don't see every day. Or every year. Or every generation.
