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.

We had previously mentioned that 20XX was in development by Fire Hose Games as a nod and a throwback to the Mega Man-type games we grew up with, but PAX East was the first time we actually got to put our hands on the game.

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.

Abyssal Arts came out of the gate swinging at PAX East with their own tactical RPG that caught our attention and made us smile when we were finished called City Of The Shroud.

We got a cool little surprise in the form of an RPG from Ysbryd at PAX East this past weekend that was a complete throwback for me in many ways as we got to try out a demo for YIIK: A Post-Modern RPG.

So one of my biggest problems with Bishop Games' Light Fall is that it seems a bit too similar to some other really popular indie games. However, the actual gameplay experience makes up for a bit of that same-face problem.

Goon Squad's Dustwun is a third-person action-adventure meets survival-exploration hybrid. So it's basically four different game types rolled into one. It sounds great, and the elements do have quite a bit in common, however, there are many moments where Dustwun goes a slight bit wrong.

While wandering into the Ysbryd booth over at PAX East, I was quickly introduced to a game I didn't know I needed in my life until I sat down at the keyboard and found myself serving up cocktails in VA-11 HALL-A.

Exordium Games brought a cool drop-down shooter game with them to PAX East in the form of Last Encounter, which made us realize that we definitely need more help than we're willing to admit in space.

After eight weeks of insane competition in Call of Duty: WWII, FaZe Clan has earned the title of CWL Pro League Stage 1 Champions after the tense competition this weekend at the MLG Arena in Columbus, Ohio.

Canadian rap darling Drake says he will actually write a rap song about the game Fortnite if Epic Games makes an emote from his song 'Hotline Bling'.

One of the more pleasant surprises we came across at PAX East was this fun little indie title called Super Daryl Deluxe, which actually just came out this week on Steam and we'll be reviewing in full at a later date.

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.

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.

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.
