Soapbox Why God of War Needs an Expansion Pack
Please sir, can I have some Norse?
I’m rarely ready for a sequel immediately after finishing a game, but if Sony said God of War 2 was out next week I’d be right at the front of the queue. Without giving anything away, one of my favourite things about this game is how it feels complete and self-contained, while still very obviously being the...
Poll One Week Later, What Are Your Thoughts on God of War?
GOTY?
One week ago, God of War launched on PlayStation 4, and it was the best game ever. Or maybe it wasn't. That's for you to decide (kind of). Last Friday, we asked you lot for your first impressions, and the poll results were positive. Most of you said that you couldn't wait to play more, and now that you've had a full week to get stuck in, we...

Soapbox Why God of War Will Scratch Your Zelda Itch
A link to the past
Of all the games I expected God of War to remind me of, The Legend of Zelda was probably right at the very bottom of my list. I mean, how could the hallmarks of Nintendo’s flagship adventure franchise possibly be present in Kratos’ latest? This is a game about a paternal relationship, like The Last of Us. It has a cinematic...
Guide New PS4 Games Releasing in May 2018
Every upcoming PlayStation 4 release date in May 2018
What new PS4 games are releasing in May 2018? This is a stronger month than April 2018, with a lot of lower profile titles all set to release before the E3 2018 rush. Among the highlights are Quantic Dream’s anticipated Detroit: Become Human, as well as Dark Souls Remastered and Tennis World...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 216
The god father
There’s only one game on Push Square’s lips this week, and it’s the outstanding God of War. With the title finally available worldwide, virtually all of us are beginning our adventures in Midgard this weekend. We may as well name this issue ‘God of War Edition’. Robert Ramsey, Deputy Editor: Inevitably, I will be playing...
Poll What Are Your First Impressions of God of War?
More like God of Phwoar?
Just in case you didn't already know (seriously, where the heck have you been?), God of War is out today on PlayStation 4, and honestly, it's put us in a bit of a pickle. As regular readers know, we like to run a nice poll (almost) every Friday to round out the week. Usually it takes us a little while to come up with a good...
Hands On 10 of Our Favourite Games from EGX Rezzed 2018
Indie highlights from this year's show
EGX Rezzed is the little brother of the UK's biggest games exhibition, and it's a great venue for smaller games to spend some time in the spotlight. Indeed, we usually discover a number of titles we'd never heard of before. We attended the event across all three days, playing as much as we could to find out...
Guide Fortnite Dance Floor Locations
You got the funk
Dancing on three different dance floors is one of the week eight challenges in Fortnite. While it's pretty obvious from the title what you have to do to complete this challenge, it doesn't help you find the places to do it. That's where Push Square comes in though! We've scoured the map to find all of the dance floors so you don't...

So without further ado, here's how to complete this...
Guide Fortnite Taco Shops Locations
Taco stab at this
One of Fortnite's week eight challenges is to visit three different Taco Shops in a single match. That's no small feat – especially when you consider that there are only five of them in total. Fortunately though, they're all in quite close proximity to each other. Picking a path through them is relatively easy, if you can avoid...
Hands On Strange Brigade Is a Punchy, Pulpy 1930s Shooter
Just the ticket
One of the higher profile games at EGX Rezzed 2018 was Rebellion's thirties-tinged third person shooter, Strange Brigade. Oddly enough, the demo we played was single player, despite the main focus of the game being its four-player co-op. Still, what we played of this B-movie inspired action game proved it has some fun ideas that...
Guide Best God of War Games Ranked
War games
In the pantheon of popular PlayStation intellectual properties, God of War occupies the throne room alongside other household names like Uncharted and Gran Turismo.

Hands On Windlands 2 Adds Co-Op, Weapons to Virtual Reality Platformer
Second wind
We rather liked the original Windlands on PlayStation VR. The satisfying movement and exhilarating sense of speed and altitude made for one of virtual reality's early successes -- at least, if you had the stomach for it. This holds true for Windlands 2, but the sequel isn't just reuniting you with a pair of grappling hooks and calling it...
Hands On Guacamelee! 2 Brings Mexican Madness Back to PS4
Holy guacamole
Juan's first Metroidvania adventure, Guacamelee!, remains one of our favourite modern examples of the genre, mixing addictive exploration, challenging platforming, satisfying combat, and a whacky sense of humour to great effect. Guacamelee! 2 is set to continue this trend. It recaptures the first game's compelling gameplay and...
Hands On Roguelike Adventuring in The Swords of Ditto on PS4
Adventure time
The Swords of Ditto is out very soon indeed, but we couldn't resist giving it a quick test run at EGX Rezzed 2018 ahead of its release later this month. For those not in the know, this is a roguelike, 2D adventure game in which generations of heroes take on the evil witch Mormo in order to lift her curse over the land. Randomly...
Hands On Onrush is an Action Packed, Addictive Arcade Racer
Rushing around
Onrush is a bit of an oddball. An arcade racer with no traditional races, the focus is squarely on contributing towards team-based objectives. There are no laps or checkered flags; this game is gunning for something a little different. By combining the high-speed, high-risk thrills of games like Burnout, Motorstorm, and SSX with...
Feature Dreams, the PS4 Exclusive Everyone's Sleeping On
A Dream come true
There’s real excitement among the PlayStation fanbase following God of War’s outstanding reviews. Much like with Horizon: Zero Dawn last year, Sony’s first-party has done it again – except this time Kratos has actually exceeded all expectations and landed the highest-rated PlayStation 4 exclusive to date.

Soapbox Far Cry 5's Arcade Mode Is One of the Worst Multiplayer Offerings This Generation
Liam's having a curation nightmare
Tacked-on multiplayer modes were something that plagued the previous generation of consoles with poor online options that didn't really need to be there at all. Ninja Gaiden III brought its bloodshed to multiple players at once to little applause, BioShock 2 distributed plasmids online with not a lot of fanfare,...
Soapbox Why You Should Play Shenmue I & II on PS4
But why you need to be very careful
If you could hear beyond my screams of elation, the announcement of Shenmue I & II for PlayStation 4 overnight brought with it murmurs of excited curiosity: a new crop of gamers are finally going to get their opportunity to try out this cult series for themselves.

Poll Will You Be Buying God of War?
The big one
Well, there was really only one big talking point from this week that we could have transformed into a Friday poll: God of War. Reviews for the PlayStation 4 exclusive dropped yesterday morning, and Kratos is currently sitting pretty (don't tell him we called him that) with a 94 on Metacritic. It's safe to say that critics like it. As...
Soapbox You Should Play God of War III While You Wait for Kratos' Return
Greek tragedy
The new God of War is an extraordinary game and it represents a seismic shift for one of Sony’s most beloved first-party franchises, but with more than a week to go until the title tosses its axe at retailers around the world, you should fill the time with one of Kratos’ previous adventures. God of War III was quietly remastered...

Guide The Best PS4 Racing Games
Which PS4 driving games are on the podium?
It's no secret that the PlayStation 4 hasn't had the greatest selection of racing games over the years. Arcade racing games especially have mysteriously disappeared, leaving PS4 owners with little choice when they want to put the pedal to the metal. Having said that, we've still been able to rustle up a...

Hunting down prepper stashes is a ton of fun in Far Cry 5.

Soapbox A Love Letter to Video Game Developers and Artists
Gabriella puts forward her argument for games as art
I’m an hour into replaying Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, a game that captivated me in 2017. I meander through the streets, enthralled by its ridiculous attention to detail and bask in its marvellous colours. I put my controller down for a minute, and I’m suddenly struck by the realisation...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 214
WAYP to go
Have there really been 214 issues of WAYP? That’s almost four years’ worth of this recurring feature now – an impressive run, for sure! The premise has remained the same since the very beginning: we tell you what we’re playing; you tell us what you’re playing. Let’s dance! Sammy Barker, Editor: I guess the angry skinhead is...
Talking Point Is PS4's September Starting to Look Way Too Crowded?
The Red Dead dread
Earlier this week, the prophecy was fulfilled: Spyro the Dragon's long rumoured remade trilogy finally got an official announcement and a confirmed release date.

Guide Far Cry 5 Fishing: All Fishing Rods and Hard Fishing Spot Locations
Here fishy fishy
Fishing in Far Cry 5 is an excellent way to chill out from all the gunfights, explosions, and car chases. That's not the only reason to do it, though – you also earn a ton of perk points from fishing challenges, and they'll make your life a heck of a lot easier. To get the most out of it, you really need to have the best rod and...
Guide Fortnite Vending Machine Locations and What They Do
Vend a hand
Vending machines are a brand new feature in Fortnite that provide you with in-game items in exchange for any materials you've collected.

Guide Fortnite Retail Row Treasure Map and Wailing Woods Treasure Location
Treasure hunt
Finding the treasure map in Retail Row, then the location of the treasure it specifies, is one of the week seven challenges from season three of Fortnite.

Wherefore art thou, Gnomeo?
Tracking down Hidden Gnomes is one of the week seven challenges from season three in Fortnite Battle Royale, and it's actually a lot less tricky than it first appears.
