    Everyone I know who has touched this game has said what an amazing game it is. I got my physical copy a few weeks ago. I have yet to start it, but once I finally calm down from Death Stranding 2, I'll give it go. Its got some amazing voice actors, such as Ben Star (who is just a swell guy), so I'm looking forward to seeing what this game has to offer.

    Anyone else playing? No spoilers please!

    I'm playing through Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. I saw a lot of people saying how great it was, so I picked up a copy when the restock of the physical game came. Its a good game, and its got one of my favorite voice actors in it - Ben Star. I'm starting to have some fun with it. I've seen a lot of chatter calling it Game of the Year. I don't know if I'd go that far, not after playing Death Stranding 2 to completion. While I love Ben Star, I think the cast of Death Stranding 2 (Norman Reedus, Troy Baker, and other great actors) was outstanding and just really hard to top from aspect.

    I find the difficulty scaling a bit off in Expedition 33. I started on normal difficulty and was making my way through it, but reached a boss where I felt the difficulty jumped up kind of unfairly. I dropped the game difficulty down to Story Mode, and then the boss was **too** easy. I'm adjusting. I'll probably keep it on Story Mode so I can get better practice at the parrying and learning enemies. I don't think I will try to 100% this game though.

    Borderlands 4 is coming....
