Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 vs Darksiders: which should you buy?
For Filipino buyers, the choice hinges on hardware and budget. If you have a modern gaming PC (e.g., RTX 3060 Ti) or a next-gen console, and you enjoy deep, narrative-driven RPGs, **Clair Obscur: Expedition 33** is the clear pick. It’s a 2025 release with a 26-hour campaign, stunning third-person 3D visuals, and a 4.5 community rating. However, it demands a 55GB SSD and powerful specs—minimum an i7-8700K + GTX 1060 for 1080p/30fps, but recommended i7-12700K + RTX 3060 Ti for 60fps. On the other hand, **Darksiders** (2010) is an action game with a very short 3-hour playtime, but it runs on almost any PC (even ancient ones with 1GB RAM and a GeForce 8800) and is available cheaply on Steam. Its Metacritic score is 83, community rating 3.8. If you’re on a tight budget or an older PC, Darksiders offers a fun, hack-and-slash experience without requiring an upgrade. For most Filipino gamers with mid-range or better hardware, Clair Obscur’s modern visuals and lengthy RPG content justify the higher system requirements.
