After Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 won "Best Storytelling" at the Golden Joystick Awards 2025, creative director Guillaume Broche advised, "Play Dispatch, it's very, very cool." The developers of Dispatch responded.
Dispatch narrative designer Polly Ragouimov noted:
Taking time out of your own speech to talk about another game is very valuable, especially in this category.
Creative director Dennis Lenart added:
There is a special camaraderie among developers who believe in the importance of storytelling in games.
Both emphasized that the story of Clair Obscur is impressive even without spoilers: Ragouimov described the beginning of the game as "brutal," Lenart called the plot "simply incredible."
Dispatch and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 are recognized as some of the best games of 2025. Sandfall Interactive is already working on a new project, and AdHoc is creating a game in the Critical Role universe.
