"Few could have imagined that a development team best known for their mecha based series Armored Core would eventually become one of the top action RPG developers in recent years. After starting with Demon's Souls back in 2009 and refining their formula across the Dark Souls series and other games, FromSoftware has already established itself as a powerhouse in game development. As such when it was revealed that the team would be putting out their most ambitious game yet in the form of Elden Ring, many wondered just how a game with Dark Souls’ style of combat would transition into an open world format and thankfully it has turned into something that must be experienced by any fan of the genre."

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.
