Clair Obscur’s Game Awards nominations show ‘indie’ is still a meaningless term

The Game Awards nominees have landed, and six games will jostle for the prized Game of the Year honor: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Donkey Kong Bananza, Hades 2, Hollow Knight: Silksong, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. This year’s nominees have made history for the award show, now over a decade old, with multiple indie games vying for the top prize for the first time.
