Descenders is the Game for Folks Who Gotta Go Fast, Downhill
RageSquid's Descenders is essentially a game designed for people who like to go downhill very fast on a bike. And do a few jumps and tricks along the way. The game was designed to be easy to pick up, but difficult to master. And it definitely is.
The Haunting Pain and Suffering We Tried Out in Immure
Sometimes when you hit the PAX East floor, you get taken down a very dark path and you're not entirely sure how to respond to it, you just know it will haunt you for days. Such was the case when we tried out Immure from Wither Studios, as we're still not sure if the demons left us.
Jumping to Survive in a World of Mazes with The King's Bird
If you're going to reinvent the jumping maze platformer in your own image, throwing in a new mechanic is a good way to get our attention, like Graffiti Games did at PAX East with one of the games they were showing off in The King's Bird.
Old-School Adventuring Refined in the Demo for Faeland
As much as I enjoy the current landscape of gaming, there's still a part of me that harkens back to the old PC adventure titles from the late '80s and early '90s. When we walked up to the Faeland booth at PAX East and saw what the game had to offer, I was instantly taken back.
Discovering a Game That Made Me Feel Feelings in Solo at PAX East
Before you jump into this article thinking you're getting a dose of Star Wars... no! This has nothing to do with the upcoming film. Solo is an introspective puzzle game that focuses on the way you personally deal with relationships while also offering challenges to explore them.
Getting Our Mega Man Fix at PAX East with 20XX

Fighting the Monsters Under Our Bed in Sleep Tight at PAX East
When you get told that you have a video game demo made by someone who used to work for Disney, the excitement level goes up just a bit. That's what we heard when we got to the Sleep Tight booth at PAX East from developers We Are Fuzzy to check out this awesome twin-stick shooter.
Scratching that Dark Souls Itch with Sinner from Another Indie
If you've been looking for something that plays like Dark Souls but isn't as long and drawn out, we may have a game that could act as comfort food as we tried out Sinner: Road to Redemption, developed by Dark Star and being published by Another Indie, out on the PAX East floor.
This is Not the Job We Signed Up For in Yuppie Psycho
One of the funnier games that caught our eyes over at PAX East was a title from Another Indie called Yuppie Psycho, which has a very futuristic horror blend in a 16-bit world that made us excited to play the entire demo.
Exploring the Construction Simulator that is Pretz'l Land
The other fun little indie title we got to check out from EuroVideo at PAX East this year was a construction simulator called Pretz'l Land. The game focuses on bits of German culture in a fun animated way, taking place in the Alps where players can build country villages to their liking.
