It's done, insanely amazing game, I was already enthralled with the main game and the soundtrack but took the extra effort to beat all the post game content and fucking hell it was rewarding.
Legit a 10/10

It was getting genocided either way. Renoir would have returned when Maelle obviously would have refused to leave the canvas just like her mother. The Verso ending ends the cycle of grief and actually allows Maelle a future where she could create her own canvas. There is nothing stopping her from essentially reincarnating everyone she remembers from Lumiere.
 
The 411th issue of Edge magazine released today with a review of Expedition 33, awarding it the highly coveted 10/10 score, becoming the 28th game to have ever received it, standing next to Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring, Breath of the Wild and Bloodborne.
Before the review they included a short piece explaining their reasoning behind this rating, in spite of the game not being "perfect" or "revolutionary" to be awarded such a score.

The real clincher, though, is that its brilliantly executed individual parts all pull in the same direction, in service of a powerful theme. The name Clair Obscur refers to the Italian term ‘chiaroscuro’ (denoting contrasts of light and dark in painting), a guiding concept that marks a constant play of oppositions, seen here in a beautiful but deadly landscape, the shades of the story, and the disparate halves of its combat system. Such singularity of vision remains rare in games, including some past 10s. It’s enough, in this case, to meet the core definition of any top score: more than a 9.

I think I've heard this before somewhere.
I have the full review but it's copyrighted so I am unsure if I'm allowed to post it.

a life where you can be created, destroyed and recreated on a whim isn't really living.

That opens another debate that I am not sure whoever wrote their worldbuilding considered. There are people in real life who believe in a cosmologically superior Supreme Being that their existence and lives are beholden to, who actively intervenes in the world and they view submission to such a being as a virtue, yet they don't kill themselves immediately because "I'll never be God therefore my existence is invalid."

Basically just give my man Gustave another decade to work on the Lumina converter and he'll have Lumierians exiting the canvas to punch the demiurge in the jaw.

Gustave is my nigger!
Verso virgins go back and play the fucking piano!

There's some similarities with Elden Ring, and if we had a Gustave ending it would be very much a Ranni ending.
We already have Frenzy Flame (burn Canvas) and New Age (keep Canvas) that's basically fixed Elden Ring + gimmick.
 
1800-1900s France and its full of niggers. Nope. Not even pirating this woke slop. You can say that it doesnt matter and that its just a little bit but the reality of it is that you are just making excuses for it because you like the game.
