  • Game of the Year #7 - Sonic Frontiers

    Hedgehog redemption

    Look. Sonic has been in a rough spot for bloody ages. There's no getting away from that, no matter how fast you can run. SEGA needed to shake things up, lest its mascot spiral further into the abyss. By some miracle, Sonic Team finally realised it needed to buck up its ideas, and the result is the character's best 3D game in a...

  • Game of the Year #8 - Tunic

    Feeling foxy

    Tunic arrived a little later on PlayStation consoles, but by then, its status as a hit indie game was already assured. Largely created by just one person, this plucky action adventure transcended its humble origins to become one of 2022's best-rated games. It's not too hard to see why. At first glance, it looks like a simple...

  • Game of the Year #9 - The Last of Us: Part I

    It wasn't for nothing (sorry)

    Was there a sorer, saltier point of discussion among PlayStation fans in 2022 than the release of The Last of Us: Part I? We reckon only the rants of Sony’s legal team to governing bodies regarding Microsoft’s unprecedented acquisition of Activision Blizzard rank higher. No, there’s no point in ignoring the...

  • Poll What Review Score Would You Give The Witcher 3 PS5 Version?

    Steel and silver

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition has brought Geralt of Rivia back to PlayStation with a bang. The incredibly highly rated open world RPG has been available on PS5 for about a week now — via a free upgrade, no less — and that's hopefully been enough time for you to form a full opinion on the game. In our opinion, The...

  • Poll What Review Score Would You Give Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion?

    Welcome back

    Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion released on PS5 and PS4 about a week ago now, and it feels like Zack Fair has enjoyed a fairly positive return. We've seen a lot of people saying that this is their first time experiencing Crisis Core — originally a 2007 PSP title — and with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth coming up next year (if it...

  • Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for December 2022?

    Plus or minus?

    A whopping 22 games are coming to PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium next week for December's big update. Highlights include the excellent Judgment, a trio of Far Cry titles, the two Middle-earth games, and inspired CRPG Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire

  • Poll What Review Score Would You Give The Callisto Protocol?

    Deader space

    The Callisto Protocol has been out on PS5 for a couple of weeks now, and we've seen some very mixed opinions on the horror title. Expectations were high for this spiritual successor to the Dead Space series, but it does feel like it's struggled to live up to the hype. We gave the game a respectable but slightly disappointing 7/10 in...

  • Poll Are You Playing The Witcher 3's PS5 Upgrade?

    Wind's howling

    The Witcher 3's 'next-gen' update is out today on PS5, and it's a free upgrade if you already own the open world RPG on PS4. With that in mind, it's a fairly generous offer, especially since we think Geralt's adventure is still landmark title. Our The Witcher 3 PS5 review concludes: "Over seven years after its original release, The...

  • Poll What Is Your PS5, PS4 Game of the Year 2022?

    Have your say on Push Square's Game of the Year

    With the temperatures plunging below zero and festive decorations erected, it’s time once more to reflect on the Game of the Year. Behind the scenes we’re busy preparing an eclectic slate of holiday content – articles to keep you occupied during the downtime in the dark depths of December. And as...

  • Poll Did You Buy Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion?

    SOLDIER on

    An impressive remaster of a PSP spinoff from 2007, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion is out today on PS5 and PS4. Square Enix will tell you that this isn't a remake, but in truth, much of Zack Fair's updated adventure has been remade — just not in a completely new form, as is the case with something like Final Fantasy VII Remake...

  • Poll How Would You Rate The Game Awards 2022?

    Share your thoughts

    That's another set of awards and announcements over with, so it's time to share what you thought of The Game Awards for 2022. Geoff Keighley had some mixed messaging going into the show, hyping it up in places but downplaying some announcements elsewhere. Still, the show itself seemed to deliver. The big reveals went to Death...

  • Poll Will You Be Watching The Game Awards 2022?

    And why do you watch it?

    The Game Awards 2022 is just over 24 hours away, and we want to know if you'll be tuning into Geoff Keighley's annual bonanza. Over the last few years, Geoff and his team have managed to expand the event beyond its original vision. What started out as a still relatively niche celebration of gaming has evolved into a huge...

  • Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for December 2022?

    Plus or minus?

    December's PS Plus Essential games have been announced, and as always, we've got three titles to scrutinise. Although to be fair, the immediate reception to December's offering has been quite positive — at least, from where we're sitting. The headline act is undoubtedly Mass Effect Legendary Edition — an excellent remastered...

  • Poll Did You Buy The Callisto Protocol?

    Undead space

    Dead Space is back! Well, not really. Although it actually will be when the Dead Space remake launches in January. Anyway, look, we're going off topic now. We're really here to talk about The Callisto Protocol, the new action-horror game from Striking Distance Studios — which just so happens to be spearheaded by people who worked on...

  • Poll Did You Buy Evil West?

    Embracing evil

    We doubt that Evil West was on many people's must-buy lists at the start of this year, but the unashamedly 'AA' action game has actually made a bit of a splash — at least in hardcore circles. We gave the comically gruesome title a rock solid 7/10 in our Evil West PS5 review, concluding: "Evil West is one of those really enjoyable...

  • Poll What Review Score Would You Give God of War Ragnarok?

    Oh boy

    It took some time, but God of War Ragnarok is here, and we think it's glorious. Sony's latest blockbuster was awarded an exceedingly rare Push Square 10/10 in our full God of War Ragnarok PS5 review, and the title commands one of the highest overall Metacritic scores of the last few years. It's fair to say that it's been a critical hit. And...

  • Poll What Review Score Would You Give Sonic Frontiers?

    Unknown territory

    Sonic Frontiers has been on the market for about a week or so now, and at least from our perspective, the reception has been reasonably positive. Even shockingly positive, some might argue, for what is the latest entry in a long line of critically panned 3D Sonic games. We really enjoyed the open world adventure, as per our Sonic...

  • Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for November 2022?

    Plus or minus?

    Another month, another avalanche of PS Plus Extra games, and...well, another reason to lose faith in PS Plus Premium, if we're being brutally honest. Indeed, there's one big talking point surrounding November's announcement, and it's that PS Plus Premium simply isn't offering up the classic PS1, PS2, and PSP titles like many people...

  • Poll Did You Buy God of War Ragnarok?

    End times

    We've been waiting a long time to write this particular poll! God of War Ragnarok is finally available on PS5 and PS4. The much-hyped sequel to 2018's excellent God of War reboot, Ragnarok has actually managed to equal the first game's Metacritic score — which is certainly no small feat — making it one of the highest rated titles in...

  • Poll Did You Buy Sonic Frontiers?

    Feeling blue

    Sonic Frontiers is here, and it's actually...pretty good? Well, that's what our own Sonic Frontiers PS5 review says, and it's currently sitting at a respectable 73 on Metacritic — which, let's be honest, is fairly high for a modern Sonic title. You could argue that the Blue Blur is back, then, but have the review scores been enough to...

  • Poll What Review Score Would You Give Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2?

    Staying frosty

    The campaign has been out for two weeks and the multiplayer and co-op mode one week, so now it's time to share your own review score of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. We published our own Review in Progress of its single player offering, and then updated to a final score of 8/10 after having enough time to play everything Infinity...

  • Poll Will You Pay the PSVR2 Launch Price?

    Pound stretcher

    Sony has announced its next-gen PSVR2 headset will cost £529.99/$549.99/€599.99, which is more than a PS5. It's a lot of money to see written down, but when you start to consider the technology you're getting in exchange, the picture starts to become clearer. As detailed in our Full Specs Comparison guide including the

  • Poll What Review Score Would You Give Rollerdrome?

    Skate or die

    10 days on from Roll7's second PS5, PS4 release of 2022, it's time to have your say on Rollerdrome. The futuristic blood sport asks you to rack up high scores by taking out goons and performing tricks and grinds in-between. We had a really great time with the title, awarding it an 8/10 in our PS5 review. We concluded in our Rollerdrome...

  • Poll Did You Buy Saints Row?

    You're the Boss

    The rebooted, new-look Saints Row is here, and we quite liked it ( we even wrote a whole Saints Row Collectibles guide!) — but the game's received plenty of criticism elsewhere. As such, it's quite difficult to judge just how well this latest open world romp will resonate with players. It's got the advantage of launching at a time...

  • Poll How Much Would You Pay for the DualSense Edge PS5 Pro Controller?

    Edgy enough for you?

    It's finally happening: Sony is making its own 'Pro' PS5 controller, named the DualSense Edge. The pad was revealed through a brief trailer during Geoff Keighley's lengthy Gamescom Opening Night Live 2022 show, and it's exactly the kind of product that you'd expect. You can remap every input, save different configurations,...

  • Poll Was Gamescom Opening Night Live 2022 Any Good?

    Have your say

    The time has arrived to rate another Geoff Keighley bonanza. Of his three yearly shows, Gamescom Opening Night Live has usually proven to be the weakest, but did the 2022 version buck the trend? Share your thoughts in this Push Square poll. We already knew about a handful of the announcements going into the show, like a new look at...

  • Poll Is PS Plus Premium Good Enough?

    How can Sony improve it?

    With confirmation that exactly zero games were added to PS Plus Premium's library for August's update, those subscribed to the service's most expensive tier are understandably asking questions. Meanwhile, behind the scenes here at Push Square, we've been having conversations a

  • Poll Will Sony Host a PlayStation Showcase Next Month?

    The age-old question

    It has been almost a full year since Sony's last PlayStation Showcase, where it now typically debuts some of its biggest first-party projects alongside major announcements from other publishers. Last year's event played host to the reveals of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and Marvel's Wolverine, as well as a new God of War Ragnarok...

  • Poll Sleeping Dogs Turns 10 Years Old - Are You Still a Fan?

    Going Wei back

    Sleeping Dogs just turned ten years old! The sandbox title first launched for the PS3 on the 14th August 2012, and it's safe to say that it's fondly remembered. At the time, Sleeping Dogs didn't set the world alight with rave review scores or super high sales figures, but it did gain significant traction over the years that followed...

  • Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for August 2022?

    Extra plus or extra minus?

    August's PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium games have been officially revealed, and if you happen to be new to the Yakuza franchise, you're in for a treat. We're looking at a total of 12 games being added to the subscription service, but there's been a bit of a backlash over the complete lack of cla

  • Poll Did You Ever Use PS5 Accolades?

    We hardly knew ye

    Sony is set to discontinue PS5 accolades later this year, if you can believe it. What? You don't even know what the PS5 accolades system is? Well, let's have ourselves quick recap to refresh our memories... Accolades are basically digital awards that you can earn through playing multiplayer games on PS5. They were revealed just...

  • Poll Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Essential Games for August 2022?

    Plus or minus?

    The PS Plus Essential line-up for August 2022 has been officially announced, and as always, we would like nothing more than to hear whether you're happy with what's being offered. But first, let's run through a quick recap, shall we? You could argue that August has not one, but two headline acts in the form of top notch remake Tony...

  • Poll What Review Score Would You Give Stray?

    Fur real

    Stray has been out for a few days now, and it really seems to have struck a chord with a lot of people. Obviously making a game where you play as a cat that can meow on command is going to have mass appeal from the start — but very positive reviews and the fact that it's available through PS Plus Extra certainly helps. Indeed, we gave...

  • Poll Are You Playing Stray?

    Really feline it

    Cyberpunk cat simulator Stray is out now on PS5 and PS4 — and it's available at no additional cost if you're subscribed to PS Plus Extra. But as always, we want to know if you're playing the latest hot release! For what it's worth, we think Stray is a great game. We gave it an 8/10 in our Stray PS5 review, heaping praise on its...

  • Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for July 2022?

    Have your say

    Here it is, then: the very first PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium refreshes since the two tiers launched last month. The new PS5, PS4, and Classic titles will be available for download from 19th July 2022, but until then, we want to hear your thoughts on the lineup. As a quick refresh of the new gam

  • Poll What PS Stars Rewards Do You Want?

    And how are you willing to earn them?

    Sony announced PS Stars today, a long overdue worldwide loyalty scheme that will reward you for engaging with your PS5 and PS4 over a prolonged period of time. It’s a necessary and important reveal from the platform holder, as PlayStation finds itself in a highly competitive market where the benefits of...

  • Poll Is The Last of Us: Part 1 Really a 'Cash Grab'?

    It can't be for nothing... can it?

    There's a big debate happening in the PlayStation community right now, and it's all about The Last of Us: Part I. The upcoming PS5 remake of Naughty Dog's landmark 2013 release has already attracted a lot of criticism from some onlookers, many of whom claim that the project is simply a "cash grab", or something to...

  • Feature What Are Your Most Anticipated PS5, PS4 Games for the Rest of 2022?

    Have your say in the Push Square vote

    After an action-packed first six months from Sony and third-party publishers, the rest of 2022 is promising just as much fun. We've already had the likes of Horizon Forbidden West, Elden Ring, and Gran Turismo 7 to entertain us at the start of the year, but now it is time to turn our sights to the end of it. Fo

  • Poll Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Essential Games for July 2022?

    Plus or minus?

    The PS Plus games for July 2022 have been officially announced, and as always, we want to know what you think of the selection. Just to be clear, we're talking about the PS Plus Essential line up here — we need to make that distinction now that PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium are a thing! A quick recap: July 2022's PS Plus titles...

  • Poll Was Sony's State of Play the Best Gaming Showcase of June?

    The winner of Not-E3

    Penning this poll almost feels like throwing a lit match into a room full of flammable gas, but we're going to do it anyway. We want to know: do you think Sony's latest State of Play actually ended up being the best gaming showcase of Not-E3? That is, the best gaming showcase of June 2022? We ask because we think this is a...

  • Poll Which PS Plus Tier Are You Subscribed To?

    Essential, Extra, or Premium?

    Now that the new PS Plus tiers are available worldwide (they finally launched in Europe, Australia, and a few other regions earlier in the week), we simply have to ask: which tier are you subscribed to? PS Plus Essential is the new name for the standard PS Plus service. You get your online multiplayer access, cloud...

  • Poll Which Final Fantasy Game are You Most Looking Forward to?

    Far from final

    The next 18 months or so are going to be huge for fans of Final Fantasy — assuming there are no delays! There are currently not one, not two, but three high profile Final Fantasy titles scheduled for PlayStation platforms before 2024. But which one are you most excited about? It all kicks off this winter with what Square Enix is...

  • Poll Will You Buy The Last of Us: Part I?

    Or is it a remake too far?

    The Last of Us: Part I is real, and it's coming to PS5 on the 2nd September. The long-rumoured announcement was meant to be Geoff Keighley's big finale for Summer Game Fest Live, but Sony somehow managed to leak the entire thing through its own PlayStation Direct store just hours before the show. Perhaps that leak...

  • Poll Was Summer Game Fest Live a Show to Remember?

    Did Keighley deliver?

    Whether it's officially called E3 or not, Geoff Keighley will be there in June with a livestream packed full of video game reveals. This year it's Summer Game Fest Live, and the run-up to the show was dampened somewhat as the host himself told us to "manage our expectations". Was our hype better aligned as a result of...

  • Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for June 2022?

    Plus or minus?

    June's PS Plus games have been officially announced, and it's fair to say that this month's line up is an important one, because Sony's set to launch the new PS Plus tiers worldwide over the next few weeks. It's a bit of a shame, then, that the selection has been met with a wave of criticism. Most of that is directed towards 2018's...

  • Poll What Was Your Favourite PS5, PS4 Game Shown at State of Play?

    Sony brings the big guns

    Wow, it's been quite a while since we've seen a State of Play elicit such a positive response. Sony's latest show — which aired just last night at the time of writing — was expertly paced and packed with big games. It started with Resident Evil 4 and finished with Final Fantasy XVI, for god's sake! As explained in our...

  • Poll Did Sony's Latest State of Play Livestream Live Up to the Hype?

    The best one yet or the best one yet?

    It's been a while since Sony's last general State of Play livestream, but the company returned with nearly 30 minutes of PS5, PS4, and PSVR2 announcements for its fanbase this week. Since we've already gotten a good look at the headset itself along with its next-gen controllers, Sony lifted the lid on some new...

  • Poll What Review Score Would You Give Sniper Elite 5?

    On target or out of focus?

    The Sniper Elite series has been aggressively consistent, with storied developer Rebellion fine-tuning its execution with each iteration, rarely reinventing the wheel, but doing just enough with the franchise’s established stealth/sniping gameplay to keep it fresh. Gruff protagonist Karl Fairburne’s latest infiltration...

  • Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for May 2022?

    Plus or minus?

    Another month, another PlayStation Plus games announcement. May's selection is bound to divide opinion thanks to FIFA 22 being its headline act. The footballing sim is obviously massively popular — a global best seller year in, year out — and so its inclusion on a service like PS Plus is questionable. You would think that those...

  • Poll What Do You Expect from Retro PlayStation Games on PS5, PS4?

    Save states? Rewind? Trophies?

    There was unexpected excitement during this desperately dull April earlier today when a bunch of classic Syphon Filter games were rated for release on the PlayStation 5 and PS4 in South Korea. The releases – expanding to pretty much every entry in the series, aside from its PS2 outing Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain...

  • Poll When Do You Think God of War Ragnarok Will Release?

    The end is nigh

    Earlier this week, God of War (2018) celebrated its fourth anniversary. Some fans thought that the occasion would warrant a fresh look at the game's upcoming sequel, God of War Ragnarok, but developer Sony Santa Monica Studio burst the potential hype bubble. It said that it simply isn't ready to share news on Ragnarok just yet, but...

  • Poll As God of War Turns Four, What Would You Rate It Today?

    Kratos makes a wish

    Today marks the fourth anniversary of PlayStation 4 classic God of War — happy birthday to Kratos, Atreus, and co! We imagine the father and son are currently blowing out some candles and wishing for their battle with Thor to hurry up. It has been quite the wait, but that showdown will finally take place in this year's God of...

  • Poll What's Your PS5, PS4 Game of the Year So Far?

    Share your choice

    As we reach the Easter bank holiday weekend, it's time to take stock of the year so far. In terms of PlayStation 5 and PS4 releases, it's been electric. Exclusive games have lit up our game playing time, and so too have a number of third-party releases. As a result, it's possible to be in a position where you already have a Game of...

  • Poll Do Remakes of Old Games Get You Excited?

    Back to the future

    Earlier this week, Remedy announced that it was remaking the first two Max Payne games. It's early days, but it's the kind of announcement that gets fans of the original titles dreaming of what could be. Indeed, remaking classic games is something that's becoming more and more common as our nostalgia for bygone console generations...

  • Poll Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for April 2022?

    Plus or minus?

    No, we can't believe that it's already April either, but at least the dawning of a new month gives us an excuse to complain about PlayStation Plus! Seriously though, snark aside, the initial reaction to April's PS Plus games line-up hasn't been great. While the selection does boast a couple of relatively highly rated PS4 titles —...
