Video games are full of great quotes. Some are iconic and emotional, others meme-worthy. Polygon recently ranked the 100 best video game quotes and, despite it still being relatively new compared to other heavyweights on the list, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 showed up twice. (Unfortunately, Maelle’s “PARRY IT!” didn’t make the cut.) One entry was for the expeditioners’ most notable motto, “For those who come after,” and it perfectly reflects the spirit of the game and its themes.

This post highlights a fascinating aspect of video games that often goes unnoticed. Quotes can truly elevate the gaming experience, whether they’re deeply moving or just plain fun. It’s great to see attention given to the power of words in this medium!
