The annual Push Square Towers tradition is back, as we sit down our scribes and pester them once more for their five favourite PlayStation games of the year. With such a strong assortment of software in 2018, it’s always tough deciding upon the cream of the crop. We enforced a Pokémon Go ban before Simon sent us his list.
Fifth Choice: Q.U.B.E 2
Q.U.B.E 2 is a game I played for review purposes but loved it so much it has made my top five this year. I previously played QUBE but I didn't think much of it however the sequel has built upon and refined the mechanics from the first game so well to create a polished puzzle title that I highly recommend.
Fourth Choice: Shadow of the Colossus
I know everyone is going to be shocked when I say this but I actually haven't played the original game and so this was like a totally new game to me. Experiencing this game for the first time was amazing, I was surprised how much I enjoyed it considering it was designed back on the PS2. The scale of the colossus is impressive and the satisfaction you get when you defeat one is indescribable.
Third Choice: Marvel's Spider-Man
Marvel's Spider-Man was another outstanding title this year and I wasn't going to miss it for the world. Swinging from building to building, firing off webs left, right, and centre, and taking down Spidey's foes all felt so smooth. The game's photo mode was a personal favourite feature of mine, and I couldn't help but spend hours getting the perfect shot of a thug I'd just strung up on a lamppost.
Second Choice: Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition
This is by far the biggest and most polished indie game I have ever played. The vast environments, beautiful art direction, and enjoyable gameplay combine to create a glorious game with over 40 hours of content. If only I was skilful enough to experience all of it.
First Choice: God of War
What can be said about God of War that hasn't already been said... It's an absolute masterpiece and I couldn't put it down until I had not only completed it but also picked up that precious Platinum Trophy. Get the Platinum, BOY!
Which of Simon's personal favourites made your top five? Do you agree with his overall winner? Scream boy in the comments section below.

Man, I really wanna play Hollow Knight after all these picks!
So, push square top 2 games are
2: Red Dead Redemption 2.
1: God of War.
My personal GOTY is RDR2. Nothing beats its story, maybe The Last of Us 2 in future. God of War winning best story over RDR2 is a joke.
Feeling like I need to play Hollow knight more and more.....
@ILoveVideoGames
Unless you understand people have different opinions,
Bit like me thinking nex machina is the best ps4 game, I don't need people to endorse my view it's a personal choice
I probably prefer Red Dead over God of War myself, but they're both top class games so it's hard to argue too much.
God of war best game ever.word up son
@gingerfrog
Read every comment adding 'I think..' or 'my opinion is..' if that helps..
"Get the Platinum, BOY!"
Yes, sir!
@roe me too. I picked HK up on sale a few weeks ago. It is next once I finish up Yakuza 0. Very excited to play the game-It sounds like an absolute gem!
@ILoveVideoGames
RDR is a joke see i made a opinion a fact. 😋
The first game was such a snoozefest could not even finish it. 😃
Dont be a baby and deal with it everyone has his or her own opinion. 😉
@Hego you definitely should give it a go
Great list, I might check out Q.U.B.E 2 I think we got the first one free on PS+ a few months ago
@gingerfrog nex machina is real good
@Simon_Fitzgerald eventually i will finish hollow knight, im pretty far into it, i think i have all of the abilities. But some of the bosses are brutal.
