I think it's pretty undeniable that the Xbox 360 is one of the greatest video game consoles ever made. Released twenty years ago today, it was Microsoft's second stab at cementing themselves as a genuine contender in the 'Console Wars', and undoubtedly their most successful.

I got to play through a surprise Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 demo early for this preview. It lasted me roughly three hours as I explored the first two areas of the title.

Expedition 33 preview Somewhere Beyond the Sea Expedition 33 has a brilliant premise. Every year The Paintress writes an ever lower number on her monolith.
