EGX Rezzed 2019

So yesterday I went to EGX Rezzed. I haven't been to Rezzed before, and it was a really different experience. Usually I go to MCM Expo in London, which is huge and spread out but very busy.


Above is a map of this year's Rezzed! There was a lot of stuff there, and some of the games are really new in terms of their development but others are either out or very nearly out.

Primetime Detective, one of the games on show at the UK Games Fund area.

There were groups of games such as the above Primetime Detective in an area funded by the UK Games Fund. These games were all in differing states of development, and I enjoyed all of them. Primetime Detective, Growbot and Billie Bust-Up were all great games to play, my favourite was Billy Bust-Up where I got to be a goat and a fox! Holo Fist is also a really good game which I was watching be played, it has a really cool concept and the main character is adorable!


Muse Games were there (you know, the people that made Guns of Icarus) with 2 of their new games; Hamsterdam and Embr. Hamsterdam is a cute little fighting game with an adorable art style and it'll be coming out on many platforms (including the Nintendo Switch, Steam and iOS) and Embr was advertised as "like a ride sharing service for the emergency services" where you are contracted to save people from fires!

Coatsink were also there, with PHOGS and Cake bash. PHOGS is a 2 player game where one of you controls one half of a sausage dog, and the other player controls the other half. It's very puzzle based, and possibly one of the cutest games (they had plushies set up around a dog bed and it was all very soft). Cake bash is an up to 4 player multiplayer game where you play as a choice of different cakes who have to make themselves irresistable, or throw fruit into a tart which gives you points!

I also got to play Sunless Skies, Inops, Songbird Symphony, Gato Roboto and Close To The Sun, all of which were pretty awesome. There was a board game area too, where I finally got to play Tokyo Highway which is a super cool dexterity game!
