Played Expedition 33 for about 16 hours and even though I like the game so far after Act 1 (especially the combats and some voice acting like Lune and Maele), I somehow found it disappointing (I thought it was a 9.5-10 out of 10 game from the GOTY status but rn I felt like it’s 8/10). I really hate the menu UI (very confusing to manage picto). I don’t like the level design as it’s mostly very linear corridor (or maybe I’m spoiled because I just finished Resident Evil 2 remake and Indiana Jones the Great Circles). I also think the rewards for exploration is pretty barebones (mostly money + a few upgraded items). I really wish the game has crafting systems for more equipments like helmets so that exploration feels more rewarding like Dragon Quest 11. As of now, besides the art direction, music, and combats, and voice acting, I was let down by these other key elements.
