It took me 35 hours to discover Clair obscur: Expedition 33's Overworld Map, but it only shows my biggest problem with the game's dungeons

The thing with huge, mechanically dense games like Clair obscur: Expedition 33 is that the little stuff can lose itself on the way. It is a problem that I previously in the legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, in which I spent so much time to build up my armor, spent so much time to explore and distract. Ouch.

But in the debut -RPG from Sandfall Interactive there is so much that I overlooked something really reason. Between the master of the game style of every character, the dispute of my teeth through dangerous mini -games, make the Parry window look for breeze and playing around with my Pictos and Lumina, I missed the small print in front of me. Almost 40 hours later I saw two small words in the lower left corner of the screen while I explored the continent that blew my tiny spirit: Map Open.

Yes, dear reader, I'm really so unsuspecting. After I was confused about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33s Complex Surculonized for Hours and Stumbling Blind into a bioma that was not ringed in a bright red warning. It turned out that I was available through a card all the time.

At first I was amazed. Then enthusiastic. Finally, I decided on a strange mix of the two – although I can't lie, it only emphasized the lack of consistency when it comes to the bioma itself.

When I discovered the surviving map, I had already accepted my place in Clair obscurs world of the stranger. In context, it made completely sense that Gustave, Maelle, Lune and Company have no access to a complete map of the region. Her hometown Lumiere had finally cut off the mainland for 67 years. But if there is a card for the overhang sections that give the topographical characteristics of the continent and the placement of the main mission markings in the world, why is there no minima chapel in the biomes?

The modest expanse of Clair obscurs could be put in the shadow by Assassins Creed Valhalla, but I would have taken as much as a meaningful compass bar to make biome orientation a little more smooth.

Where is the drama and uncertainty in a fully shown dungeon crawler when the point is that you never know what's coming?

It does not help that the game implements the perfect opportunity for characters every time Gustave or Maelle writes in Expedition 33's Journal in the camp, starting on the trot. What can she stop from making one or two rough sketch on the edge between all the heroic stories of won and lost battles?

After my fourth frustrating loop around the breathtaking deep sea environment of Flying Waters, I caught up on a happy goose hunt all the time, I almost put myself in life in my depths. “Maybe if someone I had thought about noting a basic map in the camp last night: “I groaned myself bitterly.” Maybe I wouldn't be in this situation. “

In the great scheme of things, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33S Map problem is far from my biggest problem about the game in general. It seems strange that the mobility of survival cards is gradually simplified as soon as it has unlocked the terrain, water and flight negotiation maneuvers from Esquies, while the biome exploration never becomes more complex than hooks and the odd piece of platforming.

In view of the fact that every bioma serves as its own dungeon – especially when he has siren and achieved – it must be intended. Where is the drama and uncertainty in a fully shown dungeon crawler when the point is that you never know what's coming? It is certainly the way things work in Atlus' Persona games, one of the largest JRPG inspirations of sandfall, but even Tartarus gives us a minima.

At the moment I will lick my directed wounds in the camp in the camp every night while I keep looping the levels to face the pain. Maybe she can paint me a small card to show me the way out if she crushes me in the monolith next time?
