What goes wrong
Expedition 33 is all hype and no substance.
WHY JUST WHY must nearly every game have effing soulslike mechanics?
Pretty much all my game time has been spent trying to fix the 'Fatal Error' crash. Nothing I do fixes it. Unplayable.
In keymapping the F key cannot be changed. I stopped playing when i found out. Please fix it.
Whoever decided to label this game as SteamDeck compatible must be on something because it's far from playable.
What goes well
Ive been gaming since 2000 or 2001. This may be the best game I've played yet. It has some quality of life issues but they are beyond overshadowed by everything else. ILY3000/10
Stunning visuals, transcendent music, but the story is why you want to play.
Great game so far. Keeps you engaged as dodging and parrying during battle really matters.
Very good game i like a lot very beautiful graphics in the game it is awesome
The most impressive part for me is definitely the music; it’s nothing short of incredible.

Yeah this is a fantastic game and a great development story Could do with a better map/marker/fast travel system so you know where to go for things, especially merchants you only find once and...
Very inspiring game and really enjoyed collecting all the achievements for this game, as it gives you more in depth of the main story!
I like the gameplay and story. I play it mostly with my gf who likes to watch it for the story. :p. I get around 70-80 fps on med-low settings.
