The Coolest Games We Played At Summer Game Fest 2022 [Game Informer]
You likely already saw all the news and trailers out of the Summer Game Fest streams this year (and if you haven't, you can get caught up <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/2022/06/07/the-biggest-news-from-summer-game-fest-2022-and-the-other-june-showcases">right here</a>), but Summer Game Fest 2022's Play Days are happening right now in downtown Los Angeles. There, members of the media and content creators from around the globe have congregated for two days of interviews, live demos, and hands-on play sessions.
While the Play Days aren’t nearly on the scale of something like E3, which would typically happen during this time of year annually, the Game Informer crew has seen plenty of amazing games over the course of our time there. Check out our favorite titles we’ve seen, played, and talked about below, and be sure to click the links to read our full preview or watch a New Gameplay Today if we have one.

Street Fighter 6 continues evolving the series in meaningful ways, but perhaps most unique is its implementation of esports-style commentary. Whether you can't wait to see if your favorite personality is included in the final product or you plan on muting that feature altogether, the smooth fighting mechanics and striking art style have us champing at the bit for this game, which is scheduled to hit in 2023. <em>—Brian Shea</em>
