A bit overhyped I think. Yes, I haven’t played it through yet. Yes, it is indeed a good game (even though I don’t like JRPGs). The soundtrack is absolutely fantastic. Bit I don’t think it’s better than BG3 and I’m sad, that KCD2 didn’t win anything because in most, if not all, categories it was paired up with COE33.
In my honest opinion as someone that had played and enjoyed both games, they both deserved the awards in their own ways. I think Kingdom Come is definitely a better RPG in general, but at the same time E33 is an amazing game that is an RPG. It’s semantics at this point and I think it’s more of a lack of categories. RPG is such a loose term these days that I feel like it should be sub-divided into a few more. Lumping games together and comparing games that are vastly different based solely on a loose term like RPG is disingenuous.
That’s because Clair Obscur is directly influenced by the JRPG genre which is why it feels almost like not a RPG compared to something that is a western RPG like KC:D2.
But I agree, the term RPG is way overloaded and it needs a more stricter set of rules to define what a RPG is. But it’s been that way for almost a decade at this point and I no longer care to split hairs about it, I just laugh when Monster Hunter gets nominated as an RPG because in my mind I would never consider it a RPG.
Couldn’t agree more.
E33 isn’t a RPG in the classical sense but has certain RPG elements. Don’t get me wrong, it is, as far is I’ve played, a great game in it’s own right, but imo it didn’t deserve to win in the RPG category and maybe not even storytelling.

Which is funny because it didn’t win best sound track at the biting awards.
