Summer Game Fest 2025 is criticized for being a dull event that underscored existing issues within the gaming industry. The presentation featured numerous repetitive trailers for similar genres, notably an over-reliance on Souls-like games, and failed to captivate the audience. Even major figures like Geoff Keighley struggled to inject energy into the event. A notable moment of disappointment was the trailer for the action game MindsEye, which lacked originality, reflecting the industry’s struggles. While there were some positive reveals, the event largely felt lifeless and repetitive, leaving many attendees disillusioned.
It was when the trailer for the upcoming third-person generic action game MindsEye started playing that I realized Summer Game Fest 2025 was a rotten event.
This year's Summer Game Fest was a boring slog dominated by the same kinds of games, with the crowd sounding increasingly less enthused.
