Expedition 33 is a French JRPG with Paper Mario-style combat and some of the most beautiful surreal visuals I've ever seen in a game

French studio Sandfall Interactive brought a big surprise to the Xbox Games Showcase with an incredible-looking new JRPG-style adventure called Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, due to hit Game Pass in 2024. The trailer, which you can see below, has a pretty intriguing setup with its beautiful surreal landscapes. But the real selling point might be the JRPG-style combat, which appears to be turn-based but with real-time actions you can do to dodge certain attacks and the like in the style of a Paper Mario.
