It is solid but the weaker story softens its impact, especially when comparing it to something like Expedition 33.
It’s one thing to sound good, but it’s another achievement to so masterfully marry the tone and vibe of the story with the musical score the way Sandfall did.
I am glad to see Indiana Jones get nominated for something at least. I expect it to be snubbed across most gaming-dedicated awards given its December ’24 release, but MachineGames did do a good job with that game all around. The soundtrack hit those same nostalgic notes that likely earned Star Wars its nom too.
Still – it’s a shame Expedition 33 isn’t being recognized.
