Dragon Quest Builders 2 Hands-on Impressions
At PAX East 2019, I had the chance to get my hands on Dragon Quest Builders 2, the sequel to 2016’s Dragon Quest Builders developed and published by Square Enix, that features gameplay that remains a wonderful mixture of Dragon Quest and Minecraft. Is the sequel more of what made the first game great or a tired re-hash of a good idea? Our hands-on time gave us a look into answering that ques...[Read More]
PAX East 2019 Devil’s Hunt Hand’s On Preview
“If Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied, illuminate the no’s on their vacancy signs. If there’s no one beside you when your soul embarks, then I’ll follow you into the dark.” The song “I Will Follow You Into the Dark” by Death Cab for Cutie kept playing in our head during our PAX EAST 2019 Devil’s Hunt hands-on preview. What if the pe...[Read More]
Katana Zero Hands-on Preview from PAX East 2019
During the Nindies Showcase Spring 2019, many games caught my eye but Katana Zero stood out. Katana Zero, which is being developed by Askiisoft and being published Devolver Digital, surprised me as it was my first time seeing the retro-inspired gameplay. Soon after, I heard Katana Zero was to be presented at PAX East 2019 at the Devolver Digital booth. I had to make sure that I got my hands on the...[Read More]
Heave Ho and My Neighbor Pedro Preview at PAX East 2019
When thinking of Devolver Digital, that outlandish publisher that has shown just how graphic E3 can get, what games come to mind? Some of the games in their impressive library include hits like Serious Sam, Hotline Miami, Shadow Warrior, Katana Zero, The Talos Principle, and Genital Jousting just to highlight a few. At PAX East 2019, Devolver Digital granted us a hands-on preview with My Friend P...[Read More]
PAX East 2019 Alt-Frequencies Hands On Preview
Are you a fan of music, podcasts, or radio talk shows? What about the idea that your actions can change the views of others? Finally, what if there was a game that focused on altering people’s perspectives through time travel and recording radio conversations? If your answer to all three questions is yes then Alt-Frequencies might just be the game for you. At PAX East 2019, we had the opportunity ...[Read More]
PAX East 2019 Hitchhiker and Cardpocalypse Preview
Have you ever wondered how you got somewhere in life and asked yourself, “how the hell did I get here?” This question encapsulates our adventures with Hitchhiker and Cardpocalypse at PAX East 2019. Before the event, I decided that I was going to go into each appointment as clueless as possible. Little did I know that this would take me on an adventure that I was ill prepared for.
PAX East 2019 – Hands On with Creature in the Well
Creature in the Well is one of those games. The mixture of Breakout, pinball, and a dungeon crawler was not something I can say I ever wished for but I’m so glad that Flight School Studio brought these things together in one incredibly fun package. I had the opportunity to check out this unique title at PAX East.
Hands On with Astrologaster at PAX EAST 2019
There is nothing quite like Astrologaster! Coming from developer Nyamyam, Astrologaster is a game based on the real-life Dr. Simon Forman, who couldn’t afford to go to traditional medical school. Dr. Forman decided that he could advise patients using the zodiac as a basis for his reasoning. All he had to do was satisfy the patients with his diagnoses and treatments to keep them coming back and ref...[Read More]
PAX East 2019: Hands On with Boyfriend Dungeon
PAX East is always a one-of-a-kind event, granting those who go the chance to see the latest indie games being released or being worked on. As some of you reading may remember, Kitfox Games recently had a Kickstarter for the game Boyfriend Dungeon. I first learned about the work being done on the game during PAX East 2018 from Victoria Tran who happens to be the Community Manager of Kitfox Games. ...[Read More]
PAX East 2019 Previews with Headup Games
At PAX 2019 we were relaxing from a long day on the hard concrete show floor when we found a cute little party game that was flying under the radar. In the back corner of the Headup Games booth, Fromto’s demo offered a nice place to lounge while allowing players to unleash their creative or chaotic side in a race to the finish. We originally made our way to the Headup Games booth for our app...[Read More]
PAX East 2019: Hands On with Darksburg
At PAX East 2019, we had the opportunity to get hands-on with a relatively unknown indie game, Darksburg. Darksburg is currently in development by Shiro Games and is inspired by games such as Diablo, Left 4 Dead, and various M.O.B.As. Although we only had a short time with the playable demo, the game left us eager to play more. With only a short 30-minute demo to grasp the basics of the game, we ...[Read More]
PAX East 2019: Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled Hands-On Preview
As someone who is an avid fan of racing games, both big and small, getting the opportunity to check out Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled was quite fun. I’ll state now that I’ve never played the Crash Racing series growing up as I mainly owned hand held gaming consoles, plus the PlayStation 1 and original Xbox. Boy, did I miss out! My hands-on time was with the PlayStation 4 version of t...[Read More]
