Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 vs Mortal Shell: which should you buy?
For Filipino gamers, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is the superior choice if you have a capable PC or current-gen console. It offers a much longer campaign (26 hours vs 3 hours), higher community ratings (4.5/5 vs 3.2/5), and is a modern 2025 release. However, it requires a SSD and a more powerful GPU (GTX 1060 vs GTX 970), and is not available on Nintendo platforms. Mortal Shell is older, shorter, and has lower ratings, but it runs on lower-spec hardware (no SSD needed, older CPU/GPU), is available on more platforms including Nintendo Switch, and costs less (not explicitly stated but generally older games are cheaper). If budget and hardware are tight, Mortal Shell is a decent entry point into the soulslike genre. Otherwise, Clair Obscur delivers significantly more content and polish.
