ESGS 2019 is taking some interesting changes in its games convention format with wonderful results. Aside from the 4 attractions and booths we mentioned, there’s a whole lot more than the event is offering (artist alley, game demos, merch). They even double down on its event aesthetic by going full-on cyberpunk on the venue grounds and introducing it’s first event mascot through Astra. It’s nice to see Gariath Concepts and ESGS progressing forward bit by bit with how they mix up its gaming event offerings every year. And we’re totally excited about what the future holds for them come 2020.
Metaphor: ReFantazio is now my favorite title from the Persona team by far. It’s one of those rare games where its main pillars work harmoniously, and you get lost in its charm. It’s a pristine JRPG, with enough style and substance to satisfy hardcore JRPG fans, Persona fans, and even those who rarely touch JRPGs.
