Metaphor: ReFantazio and Clair Obscur bundled on Steam

Best RPG winners Metaphor: ReFantazio and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 are together at last. Sega revealed a new Steam bundle that gives you an extra 10 percent off both games if you buy them together. That’s over 175 collective hours of drama-filled, turn-based dungeon grinding if you go the completionist route.

Metaphor: ReFantazio director Katsura Hashino celebrated Clair Obscur’s breakout success, saying: "Expedition 33 is a work that conveys a deep understanding of and sincere dedication to the JRPG genre, crafted with great care down to the finest details. As someone who also creates RPGs, I found it to be truly inspiring," Hashino, who’s been designing RPGs at Atlus since the 1990s, said.

He noted that while many franchises have moved toward more action-based combat, Clair Obscur showed turn-based mechanics could still evolve and reach a broader audience.
