EGX 2017: our 12 favourite games from the UK's biggest video game event
The UK's biggest video game event, EGX, took place this weekend, attracting around 75,000 people to the Birmingham NEC. As ever, the show floor saw both blockbuster mega-hits and offbeat independent titles jostling for space and attention, providing a varied and enjoyable browsing experience. Here are our favourite titles, excluding the games we've already highlighted from this year's E3 and Gamescom shows. If you went along, add your own highlights in the comments section. EGX attendees kept comparing this Metroidvania-syle platformer to cult classic VVVVVV, thanks to its gravity-free movement mechanic, but there are significant differences. It's more graphically detailed, with a recognisably human lead character (the eponymous Dandara), and her gravity-defying leaps from surface to surface are aimed, so can be diagonal.
