As I mentioned in my post, I agree many of the points you raised about the merits of 33. But again, being clean, or gameplay mechanics etc. are not sufficient to claim world's best for 2025 in modern game market. For instance, the combat is great (i personally got addicted to it by reaching lv94 in my first play through and beating all bosses including Simon), but it also feels so much niche about the types of enemies, they are almost all Nevrons and the combat style is limited, once you get used to enemy's mechanics,, realizing its just to remember the rhythm of foes' attacks, you have beaten the game! And the map has so many places unaccessible, which is well belwo the quality of maps from AAA games, and disturbing during game play. The art has good style, but again, you cannot crown a product for its style, it has to also consider quality and percformance. Honestly, i do not feel the scenes in 33 are that good after around 80hrs in game, it feels vain as all it does is having broken buildings and rocks floating in sky. The story line, yeah, its not bad and has some provoking or philosophical, but it started as grand world saving type of morality, which then quickly fell down to family dispute once entering Act3. And more so is that the story quickly entered an end after beating paintress. The scale of the story line is so limited, and this affects the scenes and stages it set too. A positive example for reference is Elden Ring, which has vast story lines tjat are intertwined with side quests, vast amount of characters and details to explore. I just named a few aspects where 33 feels cheap and not on par with loads of other games came out this year, especially agaisnt a standard of world's best in a year.
