Didn't expect much going in, but Expedition 33 won me over fairly quickly.

The combat feels genuinely engaging — parrying and dodging in real time keeps fights interesting throughout, even in longer encounters. The world has a distinct visual style, somewhere between surrealism and Belle Époque, which makes it stand out. The story deals with loss and sacrifice and handles those themes with more care than most games bother to.

It's not a perfect game, but it's a very good one. Worth your time if you enjoy story-driven RPGs.
