Not sure about this one. Looks like it plays like a From Software title but you have a party like an RPG.

It’s turn based combat, with button contextual prompts during attacks. Like Shadow Hearts or Lost Odyssey back in the day. Looks good to me. And day 1 on Game Pass.

Boss at 3:54 looks like an enemy from Alice: Madness Returns.

Price will be only $50

We've seen a few questions regarding the price and expected playtime of Expedition 33.

We are a small team with an Indie spirit, and we're creating something we believe is truly special. We aren't an AAA studio, this is our first game, and we want as many people discovering our world as possible.

To be clear: we poured all of our hearts and souls into this game. When you play Expedition 33, you can expect 30+ hours of main game, and as much side content for our completionist Expeditioners.

Pricing that you see from your local retailers is accurate, and we can’t wait for you to get your hands on the game.

See you in the Spring.

Man, I really hope this turns out well. It’s looking great still. Would also be nice to show the Sony’s of the world you don’t need hundreds of people and hundreds of millions of dollars to make a great game.

Same here. Would be great if this turned out to be pretty good, and then actually catches on and gets some sales. I know they aren't the same kind of game, but maybe at least something along the lines of quality and sales like the A Plague Tale series.

We really need a game like this to be good and succeed given how much of a mess the industry is right now.

This is reviewing very well

also apparently it’s 35+ hours long, which is surprising, I expected a short game because of the price

[Diesel]

My copy should be here tomorrow.

Played this for an hour or so, really liking it so far. feels like playing a new Final Fantasy, with slight (trigger warning) Souls-like elements.
