Why Shroud’s Game Awards GOTY Criticism Doesn’t Make Sense

Streamer Shroud recently asked his audience to vote for extraction shooter ARC Raiders over Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 at The Game Awards 2025, but his reasoning doesn’t make much sense. ARC Raiders has quickly become one of the year’s most popular new releases, with millions of gamers flocking to the extraction shooter across PC and consoles. Clair Obscur, meanwhile, is a critically-acclaimed turn-based RPG that has earned rave reviews for its incredible soundtrack and emotionally-charged story.
