When you\u2019re as booked and busy as Daredevil<\/em>\u2018s Charlie Cox, it makes sense you wouldn\u2019t have much downtime to pull a Thanos and sit under a tree admiring your own work. But that hasn\u2019t stopped gamers from bugging him about whether he\u2019s played Clair Obscur: Expedition 33<\/em>\u2014<\/em>the most-awarded game in history\u2014<\/em><\/span>in which he plays a major character, despite his open admissions that he\u2019s not much of a gamer himself. Now, roughly a year since the banner RPG\u2019s release, Cox has revealed that he\u2019s finally played the game\u2026 kinda.<\/p>\n Speaking with GamesRadar, Cox revealed that he\u2019s played \u201ca bit of\u201d the nearly 50-hour game. How much is a bit? Well, he told the site he\u2019s \u201cplayed the opening bit for a while and kind of walked around and met the people and garnered the information and all that kind of stuff.\u201d Translation: he\u2019s played the opening moments of the game.<\/p>\n To be fair, Clair Obscur<\/em>\u2018s got a pretty great onboarding sequence\u2014players are immediately hit in the face with the concept of the gommage, a phenomenon where a giant woman paints a number into the sky, instantly killing anyone of that age by turning them into a pile of dead rose petals.<\/p>\n That tragedy sends Gustav (Cox\u2019s character) and his expedition on their quest to kill God and end their torment. But that moment is basically the first thing you do in the game, sandwiched between a combat tutorial and a bit of wandering around listening to very French NPCs lament their liminal existences. In layman\u2019s terms: Cox has played about as much as you have, dear reader, if you were to click on the game\u2019s launch trailer.<\/p>\n
