Sony kicked off gaming summer with an hour long State of Play. Naturally, expectations were high. Did they deliver? I'd argue, yes. They bookended the SoP by opening with extended Wolverine gameplay and then ended with 20 minutes of God of War: Laufey cinematic gameplay. In between was a mix of promising titles, and a couple small surprises, like Kemuri.

It felt very safe. Even the release dates: all of them pointedly avoiding GTA6 release.

That's not really a mark against Sony in my opinion, but it does mean nothing will absolutely melt your face or blow your mind.

Still, this was a solid State of Play!
