Currently 20 hours into the superhot game of the minute, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It's a JRPG made by a French studio which is about a fractured future world where people are stuck on an island city (possibly a shattered remnant of Paris) and are ticking down to extinction through a creepy-AF mechanism. Every year an expedition is launched to try to destroy the threat and stop the countdown, and every expedition has failed. Obviously this expedition has a better shot because it's the one under the player's control.
Very unusual world, brilliant soundtrack, interesting and impressive combat (think Final Fantasy with a touch of Dark Souls, turn-based but with realtime parries and counters), great characters. It feels like a China Mieville novel come to life. Very compelling so far. My only complaint is that the game is not well-optimised for mouse and keyboard (it frequently misses keyboard inputs for some reason, whilst registering them fine on controller), to the point that I had to drop the difficulty to "Story" to get on with it. Of course, I then found that "Story" difficulty in this game is what most people would call "Normal", whilst actual "Normal" is "Really Hard," and "Expert" is "Supernatural Reflexes Only Needed."
Not not quite deserving fully of the hype levels that have been raised, but it is very good indeed.
I finished it. It is one of my all time favorite games (I prefer the game play of Elden Ring only slightly more).
