Many of the previous decade’s biggest video games, from Elden Ring to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, appear to feature something in frequent. Aliona Baranova, a Baldur’s Gate 3 efficiency director , points out as a lot in response to a (*3*) asserting that “Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 scored a uncommon 10/10 from Edge Journal,” something which solely 5 different titles have managed “in the previous 5 years.”
