The Golden Joystick Awards saw a variety of exciting new games from 2025 rewarded last night, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was certainly no exception – in fact, the game tied with another turn-based RPG for the record of most awards bagged at the event.
That turn-based RPG is none other than Baldur's Gate 3, a game that arguably changed the genre forever with its reception and reach (heck, I'm still replaying it to this day, and it came out two years ago). Back in 2023, the Dungeons & Dragons-inspired title beat out the record of six Golden Joystick wins that The Last of Us 2 previously held, snagging a solid seven itself, from Best Storytelling to Game of the Year.
