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.
It’s easy to describe Animal Well as a puzzle-focused Metroidvania eschewing traditional combat, where nearly every room is a puzzle room, but that falls so far short of describing just what this game is and how expertly it defies genre and classification that it feels like a disservice. Animal Well is a paragon of the art form, a game that simply must be experienced.
