Liam Croft

Assistant Editor, Push Square

Author Profile

Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he's found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.

Video games have always been my main passion, and I enjoyed writing growing up so it made sense to combine the two! I love a good story in games as well as a neat, inviting hub area.

Experience

Liam began his career as a freelancer, before joining Push Square as Senior Staff Writer in 2019. Some time around 2022 he became Assistant Editor on the site.

His work takes in all kinds of coverage but sees him focusing mainly on news, reviews and guides for the site.

I enjoy creating guide campaigns the most, because I like gathering together all relevant / potential information to achieve a sense of “completionism”. By documenting this, I help other people find the items they’re looking for, or beat a difficult section of a game.

Timeline

  • 2016: Begins his career as a freelance writer
  • 2019: Joins Push Square as Senior Staff Writer
  • 2022: Becomes Assistant Editor of Push Square

Qualifications & Awards

  • University Degree in Journalism - Sheffield Hallam University (2016)

Expertise

Liam’s first console was a PlayStation 1. From there he’s owned every console released by Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo.

His favourite console of all time is the PlayStation 4, thanks to a packed roster of games that fulfils his tastes - think story-focused, action-adventure games/RPGs. Having grown up with PlayStation, it’s the console series he’s spent the most time playing by far.

I love action-adventure games/RPGs. I like engaging with a deep and interesting story while exploring an interesting world full of unique gameplay sequences and interactions.
