Juggler Games and IMGN.PRO’s My Memory of Us is so subtly depressing you probably won’t even realize just how dark most of the scenes are in the game until you’ve walked away and properly processed everything you just experienced.

Chainawesome Games’ Aftercharge is a 3-on-3 competitive PC game that pits invisible robots against an invincible security squad for some very dramatic tactical conflicts. Both teams are working to secure the six glowing extractors on each map.

Or at least, that's what I ended up doing while playing a bit of the game back at PAX East. The game's got a bit of an energy management mechanic thanks to those elemental weapons, and even your melee weapons can end up using energy if you upgrade them to do so, so you'll have to [...]

Tangled Mess Games’s Volantia is a city-building strategy game where you design a kingdom in the sky. Players get to design their kingdoms themselves by rotating and conjoining fragments of land to help stabilize the floating island and prevent it from collapsing.

The Houses of Morrowind expansion for Elder Scrolls Legends requires you to re-learn the game thanks to the many changes it brings with it. Bethesda have managed to predict this by adding some new tools for players - specifically, a new set of puzzles.

Sometimes when you're running from one appointment to the other on the PAX East floor, someone will just reach out and ask "can you see my game?" If I got a spare five minutes, sure! This was the case with Wormhole Wars brought to the convention by 1047 Games. The game is a sci-fi multiplayer shooter[...]
