Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Journey composer Austin Wintory joins the chorus of games industry icons heaping praise on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and its devs.

No matter how you feel about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, its underdog story has been one of the best things about the games industry this year. The passion project from a new studio formed of former Ubisoft developers becoming the most-nominated game in The Game Awards history is downright inspiring. And even as someone who is still rooting for Donkey Kong Bananza to take home the big one, the other undeniable thing about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is that its music absolutely slaps.

Wintory has massive praise for the team: "Rarely, if ever, has a team inspired me as they have. They make us all better."

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is nominated for Best Score and Music at The Game Awards today, alongside 11 other nominations, including for the big Game of the Year award. We'll just have to wait and see how it fares in a few hours.

As Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Monoco actor gets nominated for a BAFTA Award alongside 3 more of the RPG's cast members, he has only one thing to say: "F**k"
