Poznan Game Arena reminds me something of the first PlayStation Experience. Maybe that's mostly because of the season. The video game convention circuit squarely falls between March and August, the time of the year when publishers look to drum up hype for their fall lineup. Once September rolls around, those games are actually coming out.
That first PlayStation Experience was filled with big-name titles that were no longer important to us. It was December and we didn't need to see Assassin's Creed Unity because it had already released. That was the story for most of the notable publishers at that PSX, and, as such, it was a wealth of indies who were worth focusing on.
Our trip to Poland for Poznan Game Arena is a lot like that. Xbox had a comparatively large booth, but it was filled with Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon 3, and Dead Rising 4 (a build we had previously previewed). Different names but same story for PlayStation. And the queue of players anxiously waiting to play Overwatch.
So, we spent almost the entirety of our time in the dedicated indie area. It felt like a good decision. After all, we weren't there to see gamescom-lite; we were there to see Polish games that we'd otherwise have no idea about. As we learned, there's some neat and weird stuff happening in the Polish game development scene. Here are our favorites from Poznan Game Arena.
