One thing 2D does exceptionally well is provide accuracy. Drop that third dimension and it becomes a lot easier to maneuver with pinpoint precision, nailing jumps or any other action with pixel-perfect skill, once you've dialed into the controls.

Sandfall Interactive's much-loved RPG won Game of the Year ahead of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Donkey Kong Bananza, Hades 2, Hollow Knight: Silksong, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Accepting the Game of the Year award to rapturous applause, director Guillaume Broche thanked the "incredible team" at Sandfall Interactive, most of whom were in attendance and in costume. Broche extended his thanks to the "unsung heroes" of the video game industry, "the people who make tutorials on YouTube on how to make a game, because we had no idea how to make a game before." The Game of the Year award goes to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33! #TheGameAwards @expedition33 @sandfallgames @kepler_interact [Hidden Content] — The Game Awards (@thegameawards) December 12, 2025 Broche went on to issue a personal thank you to Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, "who inspired me to become a game dev." Broche ended his speech by announcing the shadow drop release of Clair Obscur DLC. Clair Obscur also won Best Game Direction, Best Narrative, Best Art Direction, Best Score And Music, Best Independent Game, Best Debut Indie Game, and Best RPG. Jennifer English won Best Peformance for her role in the game. The only category Clair Obscur was nominated in that it didn't win was Best Audio Design, which went to EA's shooter, Battlefield 6. Still, it's a remarkable result for the relatively small team at Sandfall Interactive, especially given Clair Obscur is its debut title.
