The Montreal International Game Summit has games to look at and interesting panels, but the expo floor is really centered on recruiting and partnerships. I learned a lot from Ubisoft, Remedy, Red Hook and more.

I'm glad to see Ubisoft taking some risks to change up the established formula of the series and go in interesting directions. 'Assassin's Creed: Odyssey' is a marvel and well worth playing for many reasons.

'Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics' has pacing problems and could have used more of the Lovecraftian mythos.

This turn-based tactical Cold War spy thriller, a stealthy take on the XCOM formula, delivers a rich and deep experience that is incredibly satisfying.

Blueberry farmer Horatio is joined by a Cyclops who is also his soulmate; a sentient cupcake who can heal; a battle princess; a conquistador pirate lady; and a host of other characters you can enlist, including Gnomes, Hair Trolls, Vampires, Robots, and a horde of other weird creatures.

While the systems and camera all need work and hinder the overall game, 'Seven' has a special spark that makes it very interesting to experience. The story is engaging if a little predictable and the art style really stands out as a fresh look at a fairly overused genre.

At MIGS the sessions are nicely separated into a number of categories that gave paths for each participant to explore. 

As you see the images on the screen, says the composer, he really wants you to fall deeper into the world and emotions being conveyed through hearing the music.

MIGS is a conference seemingly dedicated to bringing developers together with partners, the community, and new employees, and they added plenty of social opportunities to bring all sides together. 

This is a fantastic shooter with tight action and gameplay, but the story is the true star of the game. This alternate universe set in the 1960s has a story that is as full of hope and companionship as of pure evil and despair.
