Spoilers ahead for the unfortunate souls who haven’t experienced this modern day masterpiece. Let’s make this quick.. I need to write this up so I can get back to replaying Clair Obscur for the twelfth time. So here we go.
You did it! You defeated the Paintress and discovered the entire world is a painting. You traversed every inch of the map in act three. You climbed the Reacher and beat Alicia. You mastered the Flying Manor and beat that Nevron-peddling Clea. You explored the depths of Renoir’s Drafts and beat Simon without cheesing (if you cheesed it, you did not beat the game, only yourself, coward).
All this led to the climatic showdown with Renoir. Big Daddy. Boss Man. You defeat him and boom, you are ready for the credits, but wait. Oh, my goodness, there is another fight. But who could it be? We have cleared the map of all Nevrons and painters. Who is left? It’s none other than the backstabbing Verso. It was bad enough that he didn’t save Gustave when he was one-hundred-percent capable of doing so, but now the asshole wants us to forget him and move on from this world. Absolutely not. We gamers do not move on.
With one final stab from Maelle’s blade, Verso is erased from the world, and you remain to enjoy the company of all your friends, including Gustave! It’s a happy ending for all parties involved.
Feel free to give yourself some time to take in the mindfuck and emotional rollercoaster you just went on. Think about how fucking rad it is that this game could create such a powerful experience from beginning to end. You rested? Good, now let’s really stick it to Verso and start new game+. You can stop when you want, but why would you ever want to stop?

Oh shit. I was supposed to pick my kids up from karate three months ago.
