Poll We Need You to Rate the Trails Games
Be a hero
Over recent years, Falcom's long-running Trails series has gained a lot of traction here in the West. We're still a few games behind at the time of writing this article, but publisher NIS America has hit a steady stride in releasing title after title. And thankfully, we're now at a point where there are enough Trails games on modern...

Poll What's the Best PlayStation Startup Sequence?
PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, PS5?
When you think of PlayStation, does a specific console startup come to mind? Sony's crafted some iconic system screens over the years — complete with some iconic sounds — but which one's the best? We know that's a potentially difficult question — and it might be wholly dependent on how old you are! — but it should...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Star Wars Jedi: Survivor?
Cal it
It's been a week since the release of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on PS5. The action adventure certainly seems to have struck a chord with gamers in general, although there is ongoing debate regarding the game's technical state, which is being improved bit by bit via updates. There's something great at Survivor's core, though. We gave it an...

The final time
Regular readers will know that we have our own list of Best Final Fantasy Games here on Push Square.

Poll What Review Score Would You Give Dead Island 2?
Back from the dead
Dead Island 2 has been shuffling around PS5 and PS4 for over a week now, and so it's time to find out what you lot think about this latest zombie-smushing title. It's fair to say that we've been waiting on this one for a while — the project itself was rebooted multiple times after its initial reveal all the way back in... 2014?!...

Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for May 2023?
Plus or minus?
May 2023's PS Plus Essential games were leaked just hours ahead of their official reveal earlier this week, and it's fair to say that the lineup divided opinion on both occasions. To be fair, it is a bit of an odd selection. We've got GRID Legends headlining things — a solid racer with some questionable FMV story stuff thrown in...
Poll Are You Playing Star Wars Jedi: Survivor?
[Lightsaber noises]
Another of 2023's blockbuster games has just landed on PS5. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is out now on Sony's current-gen console, and it's already attracted some very, very positive reviews. The direct sequel to 2019's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, players once again find themselves in the well-worn boots of Cal Kestis, a Jedi, er,...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores?
Feel the burn
Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores released just over a week ago. The PS5 exclusive expansion builds upon Aloy's second adventure, and although it doesn't make any drastic changes to the formula (what did you expect from DLC?) it was very well received. Indeed, we gave it a 'great' 8/10 in our Burning Shores PS5 review, praising...
Poll Are You Playing Dead Island 2?
Dead and loving it
The year is 2023, and Dead Island 2 is an actual video game that just released. If you can still remember the project's initial teaser trailer for all those years ago, then you might find this whole situation quite surreal. The craziest part, though? Against all odds, the game's actually good fun. We gave this latest...
Poll Are You Playing Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores?
Feel the burn
Aloy's latest adventure is out now on PS5, whisking her away to the titular Burning Shores. For those totally out of the loop, Burning Shores is an expansion for Horizon Forbidden West, featuring an all-new open world region, a new storyline, new characters, new enemies, new equipment, and new skills. The DLC is also exclusive to...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for April 2023?
It was all Bethesda
We hope you like Bethesda games, because they make up the bulk of this month's PS Plus Extra and Premium offerings. Might this business decision be down to some kind of big deal that's happening elsewhere in the industry? Hmmm, sounds like a conspiracy to us... So, Extra continues to be pretty good value as far as we're...
Poll How Was Final Fantasy 16's State of Play Showcase?
Share your reaction to the big livestream
You might already be sold on Final Fantasy XVI, but Sony and Square Enix still felt it necessary to put on a State of Play livestream all about the PS5 RPG. With a roughly half-an-hour deep dive into combat, exploration, and more the focus of the show, no other games were included in the event. Final...

Yep, the codenamed 'Q Lite' is a specially built system that's designed to sync up with your PS5, letting you play...
Poll What Was Your Favourite PS5, PS4 Game in March 2023?
Wo Long! Trails! Resi!
2023 is yet to let up in terms of the release schedule, with March proving to be another very busy month for PlayStation gamers. It's safe to say that Resident Evil 4 ended up stealing the show, but we can't forget about other highly rated titles like Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, Tchia, and Trails to Azure. Indeed, we handed out...

Poll Which PS5, PS4 Games Are You Most Looking Forward to in April 2023?
Star Wars! Dead Island! Horizon!
Looking at the schedule, April feels a bit like the calm before a storm. While this month certainly does have its fair share of big releases, so many blockbusters are all queued up for May and June (especially June). Still, over the next four weeks, we've got the likes of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Dead Island 2, and...

Rory is having a time crisis
The passage of time. Weird one, init? Never mind the fact I just turned 30 this month and – dodgy knees aside – still feel about 21, there’s something else that’s got me all messed up this week. While plumbing the depths of the Twitterverse the other night, I stumbled across something that I didn’t...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for April 2023?
Plus or minus?
April 2023's PS Plus Essential games have been announced, and as per usual, we're looking at three new titles as part of the subscription service's monthly update.

Poll What Review Score Would You Give Resident Evil 4 Remake?
Permanent resident
Chances are, you've played Resident Evil 4 at some point.

We are, of course, referring to the recently released Resident Evil 4 remake on PS5 and PS4. The Japanese...
Poll Did You Enjoy the Diablo 4 Beta?
Heaven in hell
The open beta period for Diablo 4 has come to a close. This past weekend, all players on PS5 and PS4 were able to download the beta and get stuck in (queue times permitting), taking all five playable classes for a test drive. With the full game set to launch on the 6th June, this was a great opportunity to see how the loot-driven...
Poll Are You Playing Resident Evil 4 Remake?
Pure evil
We're a little bit late with this poll, but we still want to know: are you playing Resident Evil 4? The newly released remake, that is, just to avoid any confusion! Resident Evil 4 is one of the most re-released games of all time, but this may well be the definitive experience — especially if you're a newcomer. The title was hit with a...
Poll What Game Should Capcom Remake Next?
Resident Evil or something else?
Capcom's latest remake, Resident Evil 4, has finally released on PS5, PS4. Perhaps the biggest one to date, it's the firm's third remake in four years. It clearly has a knack for doing them successfully at this point, but the quality of the Resident Evil series dropping somewhat after this fourth instalment, where do...
Poll We Want You to Rate Your Favourite PSVR2 Games
Help us build a definitive list
PSVR2 has been out a little while now, and while it’s admittedly still early days, it’s time for us to start thinking about what games we’d recommend for prospective new players. As we’ve done with our Best PS5 Games and Best PS4 Games list, we want to put the power in your hands, encouraging you to rate your...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for March 2023?
Plus or minus?
We're not going to beat around the bush: PS Plus Extra is pretty good, isn't it? The middle tier of Sony's subscription service has quickly established a large catalogue of great PS5 and PS4 games, and it feels like it's being meaningfully expanded every single month. March 2023's additions bring some real value as well. Delightful...
Poll Are You Playing Trails to Azure?
Feeling blue
The second game in Falcom's 'Crossbell' duology has finally been officially released in the West, and existing fans will know how much of a big deal that is. Trails to Azure is the explosive sequel to Trails from Zero, and these two titles feed directly into the Trails of Cold Steel series. What a time to be alive! If you're a fan of...
Talking Point Is 2024 Too Soon for PS5 Pro?
Pros and cons
The latest and greatest PlayStation rumour to do the rounds is based on a recent report by the reliable Insider Gaming. Said report claims that the oft-whispered PS5 Pro is in development, and could be targeting a potential 2024 release. It's a rumour that's already divided fan opinion — and even we find ourselves trying to weigh...
Poll How Would You Rate The Last of Us Season One Finale?
The end
And that's it: after nine weeks of episodes, HBO's TV adaptation of The Last of Us has concluded its retelling of the PS3 game. A lot like the previous eight episodes, the finale remains faithful in many places but then deviates in others. We're sure fans will have their opinions on the way Joel and Ellie are captured by the Fireflies in the...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty?
Wo and behold
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty seems to have struck a chord with fans of tough action titles. The latest game from prolific Japanese developer Team Ninja, it's a bit of mix between Nioh (the loot, the combat pacing), Sekiro (the parries), and Dynasty Warriors (the battlefield morale system), and it's all based on epic Chinese novel Romance of...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Octopath Traveler 2?
Choose your path
It's a rather large RPG, but it's been out for a few weeks now — and so we want to know what you think of Octopath Traveler II. We're in a bit of a weird situation here on the PlayStation side of things, since the first game was never released on Sony platforms — but the good news is that this (supposedly much improved) sequel...
Poll What Did You Think of The Last of Us - Episode 8?
Snow joke
After episode seven's trip back in time, we return to the terrifying present in The Last of Us episode eight. Largely covering the sinister plot thread featuring David and his crew, things turn pretty ugly in this intense, fraught chapter. Caring for an injured Joel, Ellie's looking after him, hunting for food and desperately trying to...
Poll What Was Your Favourite PS5, PS4 Game in February 2023?
So many to choose from
Well, we saw it coming, but that still didn't stop February from being an absolutely frantic month for PlayStation. Between a number of popular new PS5 and PS4 releases and the arrival of PSVR2, we were kept extremely busy for the full 28 days — and now it feels like we're still trying to catch up here in March! But enough...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for March 2023?
Plus or minus?
Going by the results of our previous polls, it's been a good start to the year for PS Plus — but will that winning streak continue this month? March 2023's PS Plus Essential games have been officially announced, with inconsistent FPS Battlefield 2042 leading the charge. EA's multiplayer shooter is flanked by Minecraft: Dungeons and
Poll Are You Playing Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty?
Long time coming
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is here, and it seems to have made a splash amongst the hardcore action game community. A bit like a mix between Nioh and Sekiro — complete with a Romance of the Three Kingdoms backdrop — Wo Long is the latest heavy hitter from Team Ninja, a developer that's been impressively prolific in recent times. We...
Poll What PS5, PS4 Games Are You Most Looking Forward to in March 2023?
Another busy month
It's fair to say that 2023 has been busy for PlayStation so far, and although March's schedule isn't quite as hectic as February's, there are still loads of games to get through. The likes of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and, of course, Resident Evil 4 lead the charge, but you simply can't overlook potentially great (but smaller)...
Poll How Do You Feel About Final Fantasy 16?
Take action
It happens every time a modern Final Fantasy game is fully revealed: "this isn't what I want from Final Fantasy". Needless to say, the cycle is repeating with Final Fantasy XVI, which, to be fair, does represent what is perhaps the most significant departure from the series' traditional formula yet — at least in terms of mainline...

Poll Help Us Rank the Yakuza / Like a Dragon Games
Judgment included
With the recent release of Like a Dragon: Ishin!, we think it's time to properly rank the games in RGG Studio's beloved Yakuza / Like a Dragon franchise. And, as always, we want your help in creating a definitive list. Determining the series' best games won't be easy, though. This is a property that's managed to maintain a fairly...
Poll What Did You Think of The Last of Us - Episode 7?
Left Behind
We're heading towards HBO's finale of its The Last of Us TV adaptation, but episode seven took a step back in time for a large flashback focusing on Ellie's relationship with Riley. Appearances from Joel are kept to the start and end of the hour-long episode, allowing the two girls to steal the show with some nighttime fun in the mall...
Poll Are You Playing Octopath Traveler 2?
A new path on PlayStation
Octopath Traveler II is here, bringing some traditional, turn-based RPG adventuring to PS5 and PS4. Of course, the first Octopath Traveler is nowhere to be seen on PlayStation platforms — which makes the arrival of this sequel a bit weird — but the good news is that the two titles boast separate stories and characters...
Poll Did You Love Sony's Latest State of Play Livestream?
2023 starts with a bang?
The first State of Play showcase of 2023 has been and gone, with Sony taking the digital stage to reveal a lengthy look at Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League alongside new PSVR2 titles and more games from its partners. Clocking in at an impressive 45 minutes, the platform holder had a lot to show. New game announcements...
Poll Are You Playing Atomic Heart?
Electric feel
It always looked very promising in its gameplay videos leading up to launch, and now it's finally here. Atomic Heart is an alternate history shooter packed with crazy combat powers and weird looking robots. Atomic Heart is launching in an especially busy period, and so questions will no doubt be asked about whether it does enough to...
Poll Are You Playing Like a Dragon: Ishin?
By the blade
Yep, we now live in a reality where Like a Dragon: Ishin! is available worldwide. And if that's not cause for celebration, we don't know what is. This historical spinoff originally released in Japan almost a decade ago, with this remake giving the experience an Unreal Engine overhaul on PS5 and PS4. If you're already a fan of the...
Poll Are You Playing Wild Hearts?
Kemono come all
Look, we know February has been ridiculously busy, but surely you've got time for a new monster-slaying adventure from unlikely publishing partners EA and Koei Tecmo? Wild Hearts is out now on PS5, bringing some welcome competition to the hunting game space. The game's been warmly received by reviewers, and public opinion seems to...
Poll Was The Last of Us - Episode 6's Reunion Worth the Wait?
Brother meets brother
After four episodes away from one another, Joel and Tommy have finally been reunited in episode six of HBO's The Last of Us. The TV adaptation has made its way to Jackson, where Joel and Ellie meet up with the younger brother as they try to find the Fireflies. The episode features some iconic scenes from the game, but a few...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for February 2023?
Plus or minus?
Some people have been calling it one of the best PS Plus updates ever. Others say it's the best PS Plus update yet. But don't let pesky internet commenters sway your opinion! As always, we want to know what you think of the confirmed PS Plus Extra and Premium lineups for February 2023. Extra's selection is impressive right off the...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Hogwarts Legacy?
Magic moments
Hogwarts Legacy has been out on PS5 for about a week now, and so the time has come share your thoughts on this open world adventure. It's fair to say that this was a highly anticipated release, and by the looks of it, the game is already a commercial success. The critical reception has been pretty good as well. Hogwarts Legacy was met...
Poll Did You Love The Last of Us - Episode 5?
Endure and Survive
We're well into the midway point of HBO's TV adaptation of The Last of Us, so there's probably a pretty good chance you know whether you like it or not by now. Still, some episodes are better than others, and the fifth edition brings with it the story of Henry and Sam — with some interesting changes. Endure and Survive sees...
Poll Did You Buy Hogwarts Legacy?
Back to school
Hogwarts Legacy is here (on PS5, at least — the PS4 version lands in April), and we're already seeing a lot of people say that this is the best Harry Potter game ever made. Not that the bar was especially high, but if you have some nostalgia for the original books or movies, then it's highly likely that this open world adventure...
Poll How Good Was The Last of Us - Episode 4?
It runs in your genes
After massively deviating from the original story of The Last of Us (in a very good way) during episode three, HBO's TV adaptation of the classic PlayStation game returns to what fans have known and loved for a decade. Episode four, titled Please Hold on to My Hand, brings to life the ambush scene where Joel and Ellie are...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for February 2023?
Plus or minus?
February 2023's PS Plus Essential games have been officially announced, with four titles up for grabs (although one of them is technically just an expansion). Next week, you'll be able to download and play OlliOlli World, Mafia: Definitive Edition, Evil Dead: The Game, and Destiny 2: Beyond Light. We'd say there's a bit of something...
Poll What Was Your Favourite PS5, PS4 Game in January 2023?
Dead Space? Persona? Forspoken?
January has come and gone, and it proved to be quite a good month for PlayStation fans. As we keep saying, the 2023 release schedule is truly bonkers, and last month's offerings were just the beginning, with February already keeping us extremely busy. But for now, let's take a moment to reflect on January's PS5 and...
Poll What PS5, PS4 Games Are You Most Looking Forward to in February 2023?
A packed month for PlayStation
February 2023 is set to be another very busy month for PlayStation, coming off the back of a January that was already packed with goodies.

January2023
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Forspoken?
Spell it out
Well, this should be interesting! The time has come to have your say on Forspoken, the Square Enix action RPG that released on PS5 last week. It's more than fair to say that this open world adventure has divided opinion. It was met with mostly lukewarm reviews, and if we're being brutally honest, it feels like the game's already been...
Poll Was The Last of Us - Episode 3 the Best One Yet?
The big deviation
We're well into the first season of HBO's The Last of Us TV adaptation now, but this third episode represents the first big deviation from how the story was told in the PS3, PS4, and PS5 game. Focusing on the relationship between Bill and Frank, Naughty Dog only hinted at what the two characters shared before the outbreak and how...
Poll Did You Buy the Dead Space PS5 Remake?
Scream for yourself
Dead Space has returned! The beloved sci-fi horror title, which first released on the PS3 over 14 years ago, has been remade on PS5 from the ground up. It's an incredibly faithful revival, retaining the original game's story, tone, and core gameplay — but that's arguably what fans have been pining for all along. We gave the...
Poll Did You Buy a DualSense Edge?
Over the Edge
The DualSense Edge controller is out now, priced at a premium $199.99 / £209.99. This is Sony's official 'pro' controller, boasting a range of new and improved features over the standard PS5 pad. PlayStation fans had been asking the Japanese giant to make its own pro controller for years, but now that it's finally arrived, are you...
Poll What Review Scores Would You Give Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden?
This time, it's Persona-l
It's been a week or so since Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden were finally made available on modern consoles, and as per usual, we want to know what review score you would give them. If you've read our reviews, then you'll know that we're huge fans of the Persona series. And while we do think that Persona 5 Royal...
Speak your mind
Forspoken is here, and it's safe to say that the game has divided opinion up until this point. Back when it was first announced, the Square Enix action RPG was billed as a PS5 showpiece, but initial reviews have been all over the spectrum. It's difficult to tell just how commercially successful Forspoken will end up being. We've...
Poll How Would You Rate The Last of Us - Episode 2?
Long, long time
After the lenghty, explosive opening of HBO's The Last of Us, the second episode picks up where the TV adaptation left off as Joel and Tess begin their trip across the USA to deliver Ellie to the Fireflies. While the second entry of nine wasn't nearly as long, it still had a lot going on. We're certain many of you tuned in to catch...
Poll Did You Buy Monster Hunter Rise on PS5, PS4?
Rise up
Out now on PS5 and PS4, Monster Hunter Rise seems to be another banger from Capcom. Many have proclaimed this to be one of the best — if not the best — instalment in the long-running franchise, and now that PlayStation players can finally jump in, we want to know if you're buying a copy. We highly recommend it, by the way. We handed the...

We dare say that both ports will be attracting a lot...
Poll Share Your First Thoughts on The Last of Us TV Series
Is it a hit or a miss?
After many years of filming and a wave of extremely positive critic reviews, the first episode of HBO's TV adaptation of The Last of Us is now available for viewing.

Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for January 2023?
Plus or minus?
Another glut of games have been announced for PS Plus Extra and Premium.

The likes of Back 4 Blood, Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition, and Dragon Ball FighterZ are headline acts, and...
Poll Did You Buy One Piece Odyssey?
Luffing it
One Piece Odyssey is out now on PS5 and PS4, bringing the ultra-popular manga and anime series to Sony's systems as a turn-based RPG. Obviously, existing fans are the target audience here — but in its accessible mechanics and eternally entertaining characters, we dare say that One Piece newbies might want to check it out as well. We...
Poll Would You Be Interested in a Detachable PS5 Disc Drive?
Will you detach or not?
Sony doesn't seem to have a PS5 Slim or a PS5 Pro ready to release any time soon, but a hardware refresh it is allegedly planning is a detachable disc drive. Suggested to be launching in September this year, the idea appears to be that the platform holder would potentially drop the PS5 system with a disc drive from its lineup...
Poll What PS5, PS4 Game Are You Most Looking Forward to in January 2023?
Starting strong
Wow, this has to be one of the most stacked January release schedules we've seen in a long time. The first month of the year is usually a period of peace and quiet as far as new games go, with publishers typically leaning towards February or March release dates. But 2023 is different, and January is pretty much an early indication of...
Poll What's Your Favourite God of War Ragnarok Weapon?
Your weapon of choice
Warning: this article contains God of War Ragnarok spoilers. Please don't scroll down if you haven't finished the game. God of War Ragnarok encourages you to use all of the weapons Kratos has in his arsenal, whether that's through enemy immunities or the environment dictating your next move. However, deep down, we all have a...
Game of the Year #1 - God of War Ragnarok
Norse one
For as much as the contrarian in all of us would love to be sitting here telling you, “Well, ackshually, Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin was the best game of 2022” – it wasn’t, was it? No, that accolade is reserved for God of War Ragnarok, a release so finely polished you can practically see your own reflection smiling...

Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for January 2023?
Plus or minus?
Hold on, January 2023? It's here already?! Yep, we know it's hard to believe, but a whole new year is here — and that means we've got another 12 months of PS Plus offerings to look forward to (and perhaps moan about incessantly). We can see January's selection being somewhat divisive. It's spearheaded by the well-liked Star Wars...
Poll Have You Completed Elden Ring?
Never give up
There's no doubt that Elden Ring was one of 2022's biggest deals. The open world RPG released all the way back in February (which somehow feels like an age ago now), but it managed to be a conversational centrepiece throughout the entire year. This was, of course, down to the title's overall quality, but it was also thanks to game's...
Game of the Year #3 - Horizon Forbidden West
Pure shores
How do you improve upon one of the better sci-fi stories in recent video game memory? You go off-the-rails, of course! Dutch developer Guerrilla Games clearly hit Amsterdam’s finest pot shops while rolling up the plot for Aloy’s sophomore outing in Horizon Forbidden West, as – spoiler alert – this narrative involves clones,...
Game of the Year #4 - Trails from Zero
Crossbell's calling
Originally a PSP game from 2010, Trails from Zero was finally localised outside of Japan earlier this year. Thanks to the increasing popularity of the Trails of Cold Steel games, publisher NIS America felt like the time was right to introduce Western fans to one of the most beloved instalments in Falcom's long-running franchise...
Game of the Year #5 - Cult of the Lamb
It's good to be baa-d
In a year rife with excellent indie games, Cult of the Lamb always stood out. Though some grow weary of the ubiquitous rogue-likes and rogue-lites these days, this game puts a unique spin on the formula to create one of 2022's most ingenious gameplay cycle. Essentially, this is a game of two halves. The first is a fairly...
Don't think, feel
We were pretty much sold on Sifu as soon as it was revealed. A gritty but stylised martial arts revenge movie in video game form? Of course we'll give it a go. And we did indeed give it a go — over and over and over again. What we're saying is that Sifu is a difficult game, but don't let that put you off! Persevere with this...
