A Tech Affair episode 215: The big Gamescom trade fair report
It's loud, garish, overcrowded with people and yet we love it: Gamescom. In the podcast, we talk about our impressions of the trade fair and the best games we tried out.
E3 is dead, but Gamescom is alive and kicking. Domagoj Belancic and I were there to try out the latest and most exciting games. We spent three days running from appointment to appointment and pushing our way through packed halls. Nevertheless, we weren't able to see and play everything we would have liked to.
But we definitely have a lot in our luggage. There was the medieval open-world game "Kingdom Come Deliverance 2", which has unfortunately been postponed until next year. But it was already a lot of fun during our hands-on. Just like the ambitious MMO "Dune Awakening", which turns the desert planet into a playground for budding spice collectors.
"Inzoi" also looks very promising. This is a life simulation game in the style of "The Sims", only with much prettier graphics and some other interesting ideas. Dinolords", which looks like "Age of Empires" with dinosaurs but, according to the developers, is a hack 'n' strat, i.e. butchery with strategy, is wonderfully wacky. In any case, we are excited. You can hear all our impressions in the podcast.

Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
