Expedition 33

I love this game, it does a lot of things right. The first 2 acts are great, the characters and combats are great. The plots are intriguing and depressing. Given that I was 33 at the time of playing the game, the concept of mortality and legacy means a lot to me.

There are also a lot of things I dislike:

  • Mini-games
  • Camp romance feels really out of place and afterthought. I don't like that the game forces pov from Verso in the camp.
  • Act 3 where the story shifts away from existing characters in expedition 33 that I've come to know for the first 40 hours to focus on Alicia and her family. I really wish the story goes a different direction.
  • The story does feel forced and heavy handed sometimes. It likes to tell me what the characters are feeling instead of letting me experience the story.
