Taking Survival to the Next Level with North Star Games' Evolution
Probably the happiest group of people we came across at PAX East this year were the crew from North Star Games, who follow by a creed of making games more about having fun than about winning. That's the experience we got from the first game they showed us in Evolution, both as a card game and an app.
Checking Out What Dell and Alienware Had to Show at PAX East

A Detective With A Heart of Gin and Regret in Disco Elysium

Often when we go to events like PAX East, getting swag is usually par for the course as you tend to get handed things like t-shirts, buttons, pins, the occasional freebie copy of the game and whatnot. Checking out Cede was the first time someone gave me a plant to take care of when I got home.
