Ben Starr Has One Message for ‘Expedition 33’ Fans: “Let Them Cook” [Exclusive]

2025 ended as one of the better years for gaming in recent memory, at least for the players. Games that had been in development seemingly forever, like Hollow Knight: Silksong and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, finally released, while some of the best sequels in recent memory, including Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Hades 2, and Death Stranding: On the Beach, arrived to build upon their already-acclaimed predecessors. Indie titles, too, flourished, as Blue Prince broke players' minds with its puzzles, Dispatch carried on the legacy of classic Telltale games with a mature superhero story, and PEAK became the poster child for the questionably named genre of "Friendslop." Yet, no title is so synonymous with the year as Sandfall Interactive's breakout hit RPG, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
