GAMIVO Game of the Year 2025: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Won the Title
GAMIVO annually organizes Game of the Year to let gamers pick the best title released in a given year.
“We prepare the shortlist of nominees based on our community’s opinions and GAMIVO sales numbers, because saying that we vote with our wallets is particularly accurate in gaming. When the voting starts, everything is in the gamers’ hands,” explains GAMIVO CRO, Pawel Zemka.
Praised titles such as Elden Ring and Astro Bot won the title in the past. Now, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 joins this prestigious group. The voting began in mid-December and ended in January.
“As usual, the voting was very popular, and gamers eagerly supported their favorite titles. Nonetheless, the results were kind of surprising. Obviously, Clair Obscur was among the front-runners, but given the overall quality of all nominated games, we assumed that the race would be fierce until the very end. Yet, the breathtaking adventure with Maelle, Gustave, Verso, Lune, and Sciel overshadowed the competition,” remarked Pawel Zemka.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 received a staggering 39.9% of all voices. The second place also went to a role-playing game, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. 18.2% of players pointed out the second chapter in the saga of Henry of Skalitz as the best release of 2025. Ghost of Yotei, a sequel to the praised Ghost of Tsushima, rounded up the podium with 7.9%. Hollow Knight: Silksong was fourth with 6.1% of votes, and 5.1% of players selected Split Fiction as their favorite game. As a result, the successor to the beloved It Takes Two finished fifth. The complete standings are available on the GAMIVO gaming blog.
“Even though the disproportions were significant, all 12 nominated games are remarkable and helped make 2025 an incredibly great year for gamers. The list of already announced upcoming releases and rumored shadow drops suggests that 2026 can also provide video game enthusiasts with many unforgettable virtual adventures,” concludes the GAMIVO representative.
