It was unwise to expect more than what we got from Summer Games Fest. The entire industry is still reckoning with the impact of the pandemic, as evidenced by the cavalcade of non-stop delays getting announced every week this year. Keighley himself told us to temper our expectations in a Twitter Spaces earlier this week (“This is not The Game Awards”). I know the sentiment towards the showcase online can broadly be summarized as “What, is that it?” but I honestly don’t know what people expected. Nothing really blew my socks off, but I’m looking forward to a good handful of the games featured. I enjoyed seeing new trailers and gameplay for some of my most anticipated games, like The Callisto Protocol, Darktide, Marvel’s Midnight Suns, and Nightingale, and while I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of sci-fi horror shooters in the mix, I was still impressed by what we saw from Fort Solis, Routine, and Aliens: Dark Descent. My reaction to today’s Summer Game Fest presentation is fairly mixed.
