MIGS25 was definitely not a PAX or Gamescom. It's a more focused conference devoted to connecting businesses and people in the gaming industry. The access to contacts, studios, publishers, legal advice, and outsourcing partners is a key reason to attend.

'Devil Jam' is a fast-paced but shallow auto battler survivor experience that shows potential but fails to be truly metal.

A review of 'Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch,' a rich, addictive and genuinely fun Roguelite Tactical RPG videogame.

While the music, combat, and exploration were great, I found the thin story held back the full potential for this game to shine, err, shred.

Today I approach a vast reach of desert; the great worm has yet to catch me but this may be the day. I must head across to the ridge I see in the distance; more visions linked to the soul of this planet await.

This sci-fi journey exploring survival, base management, and the ethics and practice of cloning is a fantastic and compelling experience.

Every year when I attend PAX East I look forward to checking out new games, watching some panels and meeting new and old friends.

'Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch' quickly drew me in despite a simplistic intro. I had a small crew of unlikely partners and enemies to vanquish. In 'Strings Theory' the levels look stunning and the catchy music moves them along in a wonderful way.

I had a chance to view a live playthrough of the highly anticipated 'Elden Ring Nightreign.' It was fast, fun and built from the ground up for a new co-op experience.

'Demonschool' was already on my must-play list thanks to the story and fun tactical combat. But the richness of the world and the game's social side have made me that much more excited for it.
