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

For Filipino gamers, the choice between Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Dauntless depends on your gaming preferences and hardware. Clair Obscur is a single-player RPG with a 26-hour campaign, high community rating (4.5/5), and requires a GTX 1060 or better for 1080p 30fps. It releases in April 2025 and is available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Dauntless is a multiplayer co-op action RPG with a lower community rating (2.9/5), average playtime of 1 hour (but live service), and lower system requirements (GTX 660Ti). It launched in 2019 and is also on Nintendo Switch and iOS. If you have a mid-range or better PC and prefer a narrative-driven, highly rated experience, choose Clair Obscur. If you have an older PC or want to play with friends without a big upfront cost (Dauntless is free-to-play, not explicitly stated but implied by its model), and don't mind grind, Dauntless offers easy entry. However, note that Dauntless has in-app purchases, while Clair Obscur is a premium title. Both are enjoyable but target different audiences.
