IGN : It’s been a few months since a chosen few were able to take their first steps into Elden Ring - thanks to From Software’s Closed Network Test - and explore just a small fragment of the open world that was teeming with mini dungeons, roaming field bosses, and plenty of secrets. With the release date looming large just a few short weeks away, I was given one last chance to explore as far as I could in the Lands Between. This time there were no barriers to stop me — just a lot of incredibly tough adversaries waiting to kick my ass.
With the 2025 Wccftech Awards GOTY, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 surpassed Elden Ring as the most awarded game of all time.
Sandfall Interactive's Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has overtaken FromSoftware's Elden Ring as the most awarded Game of the Year of all time.
Awesome! Well deserved for this masterpiece and easily the best game of last year in my opinion. Also the soundtrack is beyond incredible and I find myself listening to it often ever since playing the game.
It definitely had my vote for best game. What a moving story and wonderful voice cast. Seriously a joy to have been able to enjoy this game.
Turns out that making a game with love and just making it great is all you need. Especially implementing some of gamings greatest mechanics that were once loved but forgotten. Sandfall deserves it.
Yeah but even the worst CoD or FIFA game still make heaps and bounds more money than this ever will. Investors don't care about awards, they care about monetary returns.
A new Inographic has been revealed detailing player tendencies.
Seems like a bad strategy to have so much out there so long before the actual release. I’m getting it anyway but the hype has definitely died down it seems since we’ve been talking about it for so long
The game looks incredible. Cant wait for this.
Still on the fence about buying this one. I do like the setting and I do want to see the world and mythos created by George Martin (glad he didn't write the plot itself, since in A Song of Fire and Ice, the world and mythos were awesome but the plot itself was bad). But if the game itself is loaded with Dark Souls unbalanced gameplay that disguises itself as difficulty, I might give it a pass.
I just wish the animations and movement didn't look so floaty and slow in comparison to Nioh
