10 PAX South 2017 Must See Games

As agent86ix and I have looked through the Exhibitor list for PAX South 2017 we have been getting hyped... Big Time. The last two years of PAX South have been great, and it really got us interested in the whole gaming conference scene - but it is hard to not get a little jealous of the epic spectacle of West, East, and Aus.

Every Con is a whirlwind - and since you are probably not pulsing with the same amount of cosmic "hype energy" that courses through the WOTS team vascular system, we thought we'd share some of the best games of the Expo floor that you really must make time to see. Below are our top 10 PAX South 2017 Must See Games, in no particular order.
