Tomb Raider looked fine, though the design on Lara was pretty fuckin' embarrassing. Like one of those incel re-renders that get posted on not-Twitter anytime a videogame has a female lead character who looks like a real normal woman.

Kemuri looks like a banger, too, though I'm not totally sold on the gameplay (and three-player co-op) based on what they showed. Hard to tell how it'll work in the hands. Ikumi Nakamura's bit after the trailer was delightful, though.

Also I will die for Phranque the Cube.

I've never been at all interested in the God of War series (the original games or the remakes) but I loved the art design of that Laufey trailer—plus it looked really fun and the combat physicality was great. Especially coming after the weightless gore-fest of Wolverine (is it just me, or was there a lot of blood and guts in this showcase?), the more openly fantastical stuff in this really grabbed me.

Addtional Want, for the first time ever: a PS5, I think?
