Who Are These Games Made For?

Asmongold spent over an hour watching the Future Game Show Summer Showcase 2025, and his reaction was less about any single announcement and more about a growing frustration with the entire direction of modern game reveals. He rated the show a 4 out of 10, calling it "not that many crazy good games," but his deeper argument was about audience: he kept asking who actually buys and plays these titles, and he couldn't find them.

The Games That Stood Out

A few announcements earned genuine interest. The Mafia: The Old Country cinematic trailer showing Enzo's initiation ritual impressed him. "They should only be allowed legally to make games like this," he said, though he admitted he'd never played a Mafia game before. The Hell is Us deep dive looked "pretty good," and he said he would play it when it releases September 4, 2025. The expanse-themed space game that opened the show had decent graphics, and a walking horror game where you wake up in a forest with no memory and no map—just a flashlight—caught his attention enough that he said he would "day one this game."
