    To my shame, French double-A RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is the only one of this year's GOTY nominees I haven't played, making it awkward to write positive things about it now that it's… Read the rest of the article: Turn-based RPG "Clair Obscur" becomes year's most unexpected gaming triumph

    Amazon's superhero satire The Boys ends with prescient government takeover The Boys
