Live with 2 indies I’m excited for and 1 I am afraid of (horror). https://t.co/l4Yg041Q8S

I really love having something to do in turn-based games other than just select my moves. It makes the combat more engaging imo.

"You can negate all damage by dodging/parrying. Balancing turn-based w/ real-time mechanics took time to get right... some of us are still traumatized by enemies from [earlier playtests]. We've done a lot of rebalancing since;" Michel Nohra Lead Game Designer on Clair Obscur.

Went back to grab the real quote I wanted to point to! V excited for this game.

[Janet Garcia 🦋 @Gameonysus]

I hope so!

Cursed thoughts: Is THIS finally Xbox's year?

[Janet Garcia 🦋 @Gameonysus]

They got into a mech??? It's over. #DeveloperDirect #XboxDeveloperDirect

[Janet Garcia 🦋 @Gameonysus]

They showed the Parry Window slider for me specifically. #DeveloperDirect #XboxDeveloperDirect

@cutlersheridan Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

[Janet Garcia 🦋 @Gameonysus]

Doom is one of the only first-person shooters I care about. #DeveloperDirect #XboxDeveloperDirect

[Janet Garcia 🦋 @Gameonysus]

If these games deliver Xbox is about to run april. #DeveloperDirect #XboxDeveloperDirect

[Janet Garcia 🦋 @Gameonysus]

Only bad thing I have to say about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is the characters' outfits are v uniform in a way that's kinda ugly to me. #DeveloperDirect #XboxDeveloperDirect

[Janet Garcia 🦋 @Gameonysus]

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 looks cool and I'm glad it gets to live outside of the "THE YEAR OF RPGs" that was 2024. #DeveloperDirect #XboxDeveloperDirect

[Janet Garcia 🦋 @Gameonysus]

Cautiously optimistic that South of Midnight is gonna be like Kena Bridge of Spirits: low-key really cool but maybe a bit formulaic in design (but in a nostalgic way). #DeveloperDirect #XboxDeveloperDirect

[Janet Garcia 🦋 @Gameonysus]

Interesting to open with the surprise. I actually prefer that tbh. #DeveloperDirect #XboxDeveloperDirect

[Janet Garcia 🦋 @Gameonysus]

Sound design team ate with Ninja Gaiden. #DeveloperDirect #XboxDeveloperDirect

[Janet Garcia 🦋 @Gameonysus]

I gotta start filling my action game gap. #DeveloperDirect #XboxDeveloperDirect

December is always full of games that get lost in the holiday shuffle. Here are a bunch of titles you may have missed. Timestamped for your convenience watch me try: Symphonia, Short Trip, The Cabin Factory, Caves of Qud, and LOK Digital. https://t.co/UghHOZPp6g
