Biomutant vs Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Biomutant vs Clair Obscur: Expedition 33: which should you buy?

For Filipino buyers, the choice between Biomutant and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 hinges on hardware, budget, and genre preference. Biomutant is an action RPG with a Teen rating, available on all major platforms including Nintendo Switch, and has a very short average playtime of 5 hours. Its minimum PC requirements are modest (e.g., GTX 780), and it only needs 10 GB storage. However, its Metacritic score is 69 and community rating is low at 2.8/5. In contrast, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a pure RPG with a third-person 3D perspective, releasing in April 2025. It has a much longer average playtime of 26 hours, higher community rating of 4.5/5, but demands significantly more powerful hardware: minimum requires GTX 1060 6GB, 8GB RAM, 55 GB SSD, and recommended specs go up to RTX 3060 Ti. It is not available on Nintendo Switch. Price-wise, both are full-priced titles (typically ₱2,000-₱3,000 in PH). If you have a low-end PC or a Switch, Biomutant is the only option, but be prepared for a short, mediocre experience. If you have a modern gaming PC or console and want a well-received, lengthy RPG, Clair Obscur is the clear winner. For most Filipino gamers with decent hardware, Clair Obscur offers better value per hour and higher quality.
