News Sony Wins the Most Game of the Year Awards for Third Consecutive Year
Hat trick
Game of the Year is a subjective thing, at the end of the day. This author thought The Last of Us: Part II was the best game of 2020; fellow Push Square editor Stephen Tailby felt it was Dreams. They’re both great games, it all comes down to a matter of opinion. Nevertheless, the general consensus is that Sony has been on a roll these...

A key aspect of the level design in From's games is the idea of shortcuts, and it's...
News PS4 Hidden Gem Slay the Spire Is Being Adapted Into a Board Game
Another reason to bring it up
Slay the Spire is a great video game. Granted, a rogue-like deck builder doesn't sound too appealing written down, but in practice, it's a fantastic, addictive title that's all about synergies, finding that golden combo of cards that allows you to flatten enemies. Throw in randomly generated elements and you have a game...

Waiting on those January sales
A new year has begun, but one thing remains a constant: the UK's physical games chart.

Game of the Year Best PSVR Game of 2020
Headset highlights
Let's be honest with ourselves: 2020 has not been the best year for PlayStation VR. As Sony shifted its focus towards marketing the PlayStation 5, the Japanese giant's virtual reality headset received little love from first-party studios. Developers outside of Sony still had many multi-platform launches to boast of, but at this...

Game of the Year #1 - The Last of Us: Part II
Naughty Gods
Throughout the entirety of the PlayStation 4 generation, there was one consistency that propelled the console to rising head and shoulders above its competition.

Independent marvels
The PlayStation 4 saw out its final year with some seriously heavy hitters from first-party studios, and then Sony's PlayStation 5 kickstarted a new generation with another batch of massive titles.

Game of the Year Best PS5, PS4 Story of 2020
More than a Telltale
For some, gameplay is the main tell of a quality video game. For others, story is king. A great narrative can be what pushes you through an otherwise dreary set of mechanics and systems, with the prospect of another plot twist on the horizon just enough to keep you going. And the best thing is that those very stories are only...
