It sounds weird, and it’s hard to explain Phogs! without playing the game yourself, but it was good fun and a great way to strengthen your team building skills. Then the players work together to solve the puzzles in each level by figuring out how to grab, stretch, and move the end of the dogs’ heads you have control over. Phogs! was set up on an Xbox console and two players were encouraged to grab one end of a single controller so both people had a joystick, a bumper, and a trigger button to press. As these two-ended dog heads with a body that slinks like a worm, Phogs! is meant to be played as a co-op game. I played the aforementioned Phogs! with my friend and it’s one of the strangest yet endearing indie games I’ve experienced. Pretty close to the original console version. Isn’t Chibi Ignis the cutest? What the stats and resting campgrounds portion of Pocket Edition looks like. Final Fantasy XV: Pocket Edition on an iPad. Demos to try out the PC version of Final Fantasy XV. The Square Enix booth where they were heavily promoting Final Fantasy XIV and Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition.Ī promo for Final Fantasy XV and one gorgeous PC of King Noctis. I don’t really need to pay and play FFXV on my phone too. I already have the console version of FFXV and have paid extra for the season pass of the game and the download for the recently released Royal Edition. One reviewer mentioned that it lets you play one chapter for free before you’re forced to buy the game to unlock everything. Not to mention that some of the reviews I read about the game also turned me off from wanting to bother with it. While I did find Pocket Edition to be as fun as playing the original console version of the game, it failed to convince me to download it from the app store and experience this version of FFXV. Most of it was about swiping and tapping away until you whittle away the health of the enemy or creatures you encounter. When the cute, chibi-sized Noctis and the gang fought against a monster, the controls felt smooth and intuitive to quickly pick up what you need to do in the game right away. I couldn’t really get much of an impression of Pocket Edition, like whether or not this iOS and Android version shoves the whole game on your phone or tablet, but I did enjoy the touch controls. ![]() I tried out the mobile game Final Fantasy XV: Pocket Edition at the Square Enix booth, mostly because there were plenty of empty spots to step up and begin tapping away at the iPads they had set up at a table on the side. The crowds gathered around the demos for Detroit: Become Human. PAX attendees playing Soul Calibur VI at the Playstation booth. People chilling out at the Sea of Thieves lounge where they also handed out free packs of Chips Ahoy! cookies. ![]() The demos at the Xbox booth were of games that didn’t particularly catch my interest like, Sea of Thieves or State of Decay 2, but I didn’t walk away from PAX without playing a few games. I don’t own a Playstation 4 or a Nintendo Switch, and I didn’t want to play something I couldn’t buy anyway. Plenty of demos are on hand to try out at the Expo Hall, from AAA titles like Detroit: Become Human to indie games about a two-ended dog called Phogs! The usual suspects were there-Xbox, Playstation, and Nintendo-except none of them had anything I really wanted to play badly enough to wait on line for. When going to any PAX, whether it’s Boston or Seattle, you’re there for the games first and foremost. The Games A general layout of the Expo Hall. Saturday was the only day I was able to go to PAX, but even one day there is enough to experience almost everything the convention has to offer. I was fortunate enough to attend the always busy and exciting video game convention that happens once a year for a third time. Two weekends ago another PAX East was held in the great city of Boston. ![]()
