For many years, PAX has been a popular destination for fans and developers alike to share their passion for gaming. It's also an excellent place to put your finger on the pulse of what's new and exciting. With PAX East 2019 behind us, GameSpot is taking a look back at the games that made this year's convention such a blast to visit.

In this rundown, we've put together a list of games that made a big impression on us during the show. Though PAX has mostly been an indie-centric show, one of the big headliners this year was the reveal of Borderlands 3. At Gearbox Software's PAX panel, they released a lengthy gameplay trailer for Borderlands 3 and also announced a Game of the Year version of the first Borderlands. Shortly after PAX East, it was revealed that the upcoming looter-shooter will release on September 13 for PS4, Xbox One, and on PC as an Epic Store exclusive.

Yacht Club Games and Devolver Digital also revealed new games in the form of Cyber Shadow and Heave Ho respectively. We also got some hands-on time with Streets of Rage 4 and played the newest DLC for the roguelike Dead Cells with developer MotionTwin. So with that, here are several games for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch that made PAX East 2019 such a stellar show.
