By far the biggest event for me at PAX East this year was a chance to be one of the first in the world to see the gameplay reveal of the upcoming game Baldur’s Gate 3 from Larian Studios.

In this followup to Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden, developer The Bearded Ladies delivers a solid action title with deep tactics but a shallow story.

The amount of fun one can have running an economy into the ground in "Tropico 6" is amazing.

'MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries' succeeds as a Mercenary-themed BattleMech buidling sim, but falters as a story-based experience.

Freelance games artist Loukia Kyriakidou gave a talk at MIGS 2019 on 'What a Hero Looks Like: An Exploration of Bodily Prejudices in Games.'

Spin Rhythm XD is an addictive, simple and fun music game with amazing tunes and instantly accesible pickup and go mechanics.

At MIGS 2019 it was refreshing to focus on discovering a lot of smaller titles instead of being wowed by the big Triple-A games.

Unlike consumer-focused videogame conferences, MIGS is filled with publishers looking to fund games, developers looking to hire talent and find funding, and middleware organizations looking to forge relationships.

The Outer Worlds, a Fallout-esque space romp by Obsidian and Private Division, is a truly inspiring video game that adds a lightness to a well-known genre.

I have dabbled in the Trine franchise in the past but have never really been pulled into the game until the recently released 'Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince.'
