According to a list compiled by the tracking website HowLongToBeat, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 ranked at the top of the 10 most completed games of 2025.

This list consists of big games like Hollow Knight: Silksong, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Dispatch. Even games like Doom: The Dark Ages, which didn’t stay in the limelight for too long, appeared on the list, showcasing the diverse selection of games available to audiences this year.

Some might be confused by Mario Kart Worlds’ appearance in the top 10, but this list consists of titles marked ‘completed’ by gamers on the HowLongToBeat website. In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s case, nearly 10,000 people have made this selection on the website.

For a more accurate representation of how many players finished the RPG, SteamDB shows that nearly 40% of all owners of the game on Steam earned the hidden achievement: The End. Because Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 typically takes between 20 and 30 hours to beat when just focusing on the main content, this is quite an impressive figure.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 doesn’t need any more praise than it has already received, but this ranking highlights just how big an impact the RPG has had on the industry. In fact, following Sandfall Interactive’s success, similar RPGs with parry-focused turn-based gameplay are already said to be in the works from other teams.

I'm on Act 3 and it's fun seeing the steam statistics of how many players have also earned the same achievements, or in other words, made it this far into the game. It's enormous compared to most games, which says *a lot* about the staying power of this game. Gets its hooks in you.
