This year's PAX West was filled with promising demos, from Persona 5 Tactica to left-field indie charmers. Here are some of our favorites.
The fan-focused Penny Arcade Expo came back to its Pacific Northwest roots for PAX West, and Digital Trends was there to bring you the latest and greatest from the show floor. As always, there was something for just about everyone, including a revival of a long-dormant space ship franchise, terrifying animatronics in VR, and a brand new way to continue the adventures of Persona 5’s Phantom Thieves.
Recommended Videos Desktop Explorer I had to travel off the main show floor to the Seattle Indie Expo to find this potential hidden gem, but it was worth it. In Desktop Explorer, you have been bequeathed an old computer by your uncle, who unexpectedly passed away while working on an adventure game.
Persona 5 Tactica Adapting a turn based RPG to an XCOM-style tactics game is an interesting direction to take Persona 5 in, and from what we saw of Persona 5 Tactica at PAX West, it works really well. Characters take turns moving to and from cover, attacking with their guns or personas as they go. A slick and simple interface makes it easy to know how far Joker, Mona, and their new friend, Erina, can move and attack.
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted 2 Fans of the Five Nights at Freddy’s series are as ravenous for games and lore, so it was no surprise that there was a line wrapped around the booth to see the next release in the franchise. I donned the PlayStation VR2 headset and stepped into the shoes of Freddy’s newest employee; my job was to reset a series of breakers by holding levers as they reset. The sharp visuals had me in a dark and foreboding mechanical room.
