Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 vs Disco Elysium: which should you buy?
For a Filipino buyer, the choice depends on your hardware and budget. Disco Elysium is an older, critically acclaimed RPG (Metacritic 91) that runs on low-end PCs (min: Intel i5-7500, 4GB RAM, integrated graphics) and costs significantly less—often discounted to around ₱200-400 on Steam. It offers a deep narrative-driven experience in about 6 hours. In contrast, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a brand-new, visually demanding RPG (min: i7-8700K, 8GB RAM, GTX 1060, 55GB SSD) requiring a mid-to-high-end PC or current-gen console. Its average playtime is 26 hours, and it retails at full price (likely ₱2,000-3,000). The community rating is slightly higher (4.5 vs 4.4), but Disco has far more reviews. If you have a powerful PC or a PS5/Xbox Series X and want a modern, lengthy experience, choose Clair Obscur. If you're on a tight budget or have an older PC, Disco Elysium is the clear winner.
