While Sandfall Interactive has had plans for DLC from the start, the larger-than-expected success of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has them rethinking how to go about it.
I don’t think the hype is over the top at all tbh. A small studio with a fraction of the AAA budgets we see just put all the big devs absolutely to shame with a complete, gorgeous, polished experience on every platform except switch. It’s a focused narrative experience with incredibly deep combat mechanics and some of the best voice acting I’ve heard in years. Original story, great execution (so far, haven’t finished). All for $50 to boot while the big dogs try to sell us $80 bullshit.
Never said it was undeserved. The devs did a lot of things right, and they deserve all the positive feedback they get. It just didn’t click with me personally in a way that I felt like I needed to add to the hype.
I think you’re splitting hairs when clearly I understood what you meant. Fine: “the level of hype is deserved.” I feel like the opening sentence and explanation was adequate but if we need to be prescriptive about it then there you go lol

Nah the hype is deserved.
