You are in for a treat if you enjoy RPGs with modern takes on an old system. I have been playing games for over 30 years and lately haven't had the funds to buy much of anything in the past year, but I made an exception for this and it thankfully was a good as I was hoping it would be. Holding my interest is getting harder as well, but thankfully, due to this game and a few others, I am starting to realize it's most likely because I crave something different and unique sometimes.
I can't wait...Though I got a backlog of games that currently are in progress, so I won't be playing Clair Obscur immediately. Modern games are simply hit or miss, if it's made by a big studio...Often it's a blueprint of what's trended a few years ago because games are so much bigger, it takes a while to make them.
I feel Indie devs have the most freedom to do something unique, interesting, and fresh without super long development times. I've been choosing to play cozy or indie games as of late because a lot of the mainstream games haven't caught my attention too. Hell, right now I'm playing Oblivion Remastered, and it's got me in a stranglehold of nostalgia. It's basically the same game but with a prettier aesthetic (there are some graphical issues that need resolving due to the quirks of Unreal 5). Nothing that Bethesda would be able to produce today that's a right mix of banal, goofy, lore heavy, and fun.
I also can't wait to play Oblivion remastered as well. I just couldn't see picking up yet another remake/remaster over something original first. I figured the small team could benefit way more from as many sales as they could, plus I just wanted something new, haha. Can't wait though, I haven't played it since like 2007.
As I said: Nostalgia has me in a stranglehold, that's the only reason why Oblivion Remastered was first on my list. I had a craving for Oblivion again; Clair Obscur being priced reasonably means I can buy it this payday! Though, I will finish Jedi: Survivor before starting a full playthrough of Clair Obscur.
