Can you Remap Controls in Clair Obscur Expedition 33?

Yes, you can rebind the controls for Clair Obscur Expedition 33, but only for keyboard and mouse. This can be done in the keybinds tab in the settings. There is only one preset available for controllers, at least on PC.

I can confirm that the game is a bit more comfortable to play on a controller because of the easier access to QTE prompts for parrying, attacking, and such. Even though this is a turn-based title, the combat is quite involved and active.
