Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 completely dominated the spring and summer. Nobody would shut up about it. This year’s Baldur’s Gate.
Feels like it’s going to sweep most awards here just for that, and they’ve listed the other games just to be polite and pretend it’s a contest.
I should get around to playing it at some point.
Have tissues ready, and I’m not talking about wanking. Well, maybe that too, but mostly because they’re really good at hitting emotional beats. It’s one of two games this year that had me in tears.
The other is Goodnight Universe, which is very new and also very good, and it has a neat face tracking gimmick where some things require you to close your eyes or emote. It also works without and is still good (and you can obviously do the accompanied actions even without a cam to observe it).
This is a very good trend.

First time I’ve heard of this game. Wild to see the deluxe edition cost less than the base game Itself though.
Don’t look up spoilers! The game is known for its story and yes it absolutely rewards exploration so look around every nook, nothing is so hidden you will need a guide.
Also don’t kill the White freaks - you’ll know what I mean later.
It’s an excellent game, enjoy!

You should look it up. It’s a fantastic story with incredible art and design. Reasonably priced with a ton of content.
