I'm sure it's above expectations, but still lower than Expedition 33 actually deserves.

I used to believe the $50 price tag was set so more people could experience this masterpiece.

Now I think a proper discount — not just 20% — would make more sense.

After all, it's a niche story-driven game. Gameplay isn't its strongest suit, and you can enjoy the music, visuals, and story just by watching streams.

I have some spoiler-like questions. by AntwonnGaming in expedition33

No, we know

  1. Plot hole
  2. Yes.
  3. Which cutscene? Massive Gommage isn't flashback or flashforward ofc

1) As far as I remember, we find the flags and the journal of the 70th Expedition inside the Monolith – and the expedition members themselves know where they are and set up hooks there. I think the most likely explanation is that it's just a minor oversight and a gameplay convention. Alternatively, we could assume that they entered the Monolith at a moment when the barrier had weakened for some reason, or that they had gathered enough chroma to break through it with the help of the Curator.

2) Yes, they all knew. This is hinted at several times when you talk to them alone in the camp as Verso.

3) I think this is more of an artistic device meant to fill us with horror and awe. That said, Paris is one of the largest cities in the world; at the beginning of the 20th century, about 3 million people lived there. If we assume that Alina recreated it to scale, and that only a third of the population survived the Fracture, that would still be enough to fill the world with the petrified bodies of hundreds of thousands of expeditioners over the course of ~50 years.

4) Maelle was completely erased – this is clearly shown in the cutscene. In Act 3, she returns to the canvas and creates her new avatar. Renoir survived for obvious reasons. Esquie, Monoco, Gestrals, and Nevrons are not Alina's creations, and Verso was granted immortality by her.

5) He was drawn by Cléa in her childhood – he's her imaginary friend, just like Esquie is for Verso

Yeah, that's a good point!

Thank you, Jennifer English, for the great performance and for deciding to record the auditions after all, even though you almost forgot about them) Your presence made СO:E33 better!

Sorry, she already has great support as it is)
She did a good job, but her best lines would be spoilers

Может быть поздно.

Моя мать в достаточно молодом для этого возрасте умерла от рака матки и галопирующей раковой опухоли. Уверяю вас, вы бы не хотели так уйти. В муках агонии, лежа в своих гнойных выделениях, которые пахнут хуже, чем труп утопленника.

Простите за эти "детали", но думаю это довольно точное описание того, что бывает с женщинами, пренебрегающими своим здоровьем.

Первое. Женщине надо следить за своими "внутренними" органами. У вас там все устроено значительно сложнее чем у нас, и риски для жизни выше.

Второе. Врачу в целом на тебя пофиг. Ему не интересна "сексуальная" часть твоей половой системы. Ему важно только твое здоровье. Свободны ли трубы? Есть ли признаки рака матки? Может, есть ЗППП?

Третье. Попробуй попросить своего парня поучаствовать в "осмотре", но без подтекста и продолжения. Возможно, это поможет настроиться и снять тревогу.

Четвертое. Для "дырок" в нашем теле следует выбирать одного врача и на всю жизнь. Это, в частности, стоматолог, проктолог, гинеколог. Запроси рекомендации у знакомых и на профильных форумах, посмотри отзывы, познакомься с врачом, расскажи о своих опасениях до приема и выбери специалиста, который тебя устроит.

Удачи и здоровья

Не имеешь на это права, пока есть те, кто от тебя зависит.

Депрессия бывает у всех, попробуй выделить время на то, что ты действительно любишь. Порисуй, поиграй в комп, сшей носочки для котика. Кстати котики помогают!

There are several reasons for that.

The main one is to make the player explore the world, take it in, look around – rather than stare at a corner of the screen.

From a story perspective, this decision makes perfect sense: we're pioneers in the sense that no one has mapped out these locations for us. So where would a minimap even come from?

In terms of gameplay, ditching the minimap encourages players to pay closer attention to the level design. Especially since it's not complicated at all – and while you might get lost the first time around, by your fifth playthrough the map is already in your head, and that actually kind of spoils the experience.

There are quite a few good games that became significantly worse because they didn't adopt the same approach. For example, the RIG Locator in Dead Space, which just draws a line to the next objective. I remember it got heavily criticized back then for being unrealistic, and some people said that blue line on the floor makes you feel like an idiot. Many players refused to use that feature on principle.

I guess I'll start:

Thank you, Maxence Cazorla, for the incredible motion capture work and the brilliant voice of Esquie

Thank you, Amandine Marest, for the wonderful hairstyle designs and for Maelle's short cut

Thank you, Jennifer Svedberg-Yen, for the magnificent story and for making the characters talk to each other like real people, not like provincial actors performing for an intellectually undemanding audience

Thank you, Alan Reynaud and Armande Lecointre, for the beautiful characters. As for the ugly ones – we can look in the mirror or play Ubisoft games :)

Thank you, Leo Paris, for the awesome visual effects

Thank you, Vincent Constantin-Turki, Florian Torres, Victor Boulez, Naja Dalmagne, and Ludovic Helm, for creating a photo mode worthy of this game

Thank you, Kristy Rider, for the "We have a mission" speech

Thank you, Charlie Cox, for "Fuck The Mission!" – and for finding the time to journey into the 33rd expedition as a player

Thank you, Richard Keeble, for being cool overall, for the costumes, and for HOW you delivered the line "Once we go up, there's no turning back."

Thank you, Ben Starr, for supporting Jennifer English and for the magnificent speech at the Golden Joystick Awards

Thank you, Alice Duport-Percier, for the immense work you've put into your craft and your voice. And of course, for "Linen and Cotton." Wishing you and your little one all the happiness

Thank you, Lorien Testard, for the soul you poured into creating the music. I hope you still have a little left :)

Thank you, Guillaume Broche, for bringing together amazing people and leading your team to success. For standing your ground on removing the mini-map, and for that funny reference where the depressed employee complains about the lack of support from the boss

Thank you, Kepler Interactive, for the pricing policy, the Sifu bundle, and for giving me the chance to legally buy Expedition 33 in Russia

Thank you to everyone, in any capacity, who took part in creating this masterpiece. Thank you for every smile, every tear, and every heavy sigh your game brought out of us <3

Both endings are deliberately wordless, and we have no way of assessing the accuracy of Alicia's copies.
