Wrapping up our belated remainder of PAX West 2019 coverage, I wanted to go back to a game we saw during the ID @ Xbox event with Freshly Frosted For the most part, when you visit this event every year, you see a mix of what's on the way for Xbox and indie games that[...]

Still roaming through the Polish games area of PAX West 2019, we came across Wanderlust Travel Stories from Different Tales and Walkabout This was an interesting little game to run into as it doesn't necessarily focus on any kind of specific achievement system, more on what you get out of it The game takes you[...]

Sometimes you just need a good brawler game, and I think I found a great indie game at PAX West 2019 with Super Crush KO The game doesn't have a ton of story to it, which is okay, it doesn't really need much rhyme or reason to go beat people up Short version: an AI[...]

During the last day of PAX West 2019, we stopped by EXOR Studios' booth to check out their new incoming game called The Riftbreaker This is a real-time strategy game with a couple of nuances to it that make it feel more original than the rest This may sound a bit familiar to you, but[...]

Sometimes you walk past a game and think "haven't I see this before?"

During my final day at PAX West 2019, I got to go hang out with 11 Bit Studios and discuss the console version of Frostpunk on the way While they showed us plenty from the game, the primary focus for us was checking out to see what differences there were between the PC version and[...]

The other fresh title we got to try out from Another Indie during PAX West 2019 was a retro-looking game called Elden: Path Of The Forgotten This is a midevil RPG with some kind of religious roots tied to it There is no spoken story, no dialog, no real text screens to follow This is[...]

Another Indie brought their booth to PAX West 2019, and with it, several games to try out We saw most of what they had so we focused on the new, like Simulacra 2 Developed by Kaigan Games, the sequel lets you choose between being a police detective or an investigative reporter, where you will dig[...]
