Talking Point What Free July 2019 PS Plus Games Do You Want?
When will July 2019's PlayStation Plus lineup be revealed?
What’s the July 2019 PlayStation Plus lineup? And when will the July 2019 PS Plus lineup be announced? It was a much better month for Sony's subscription service in June, with Borderlands: The Handsome Collection and Sonic Mania attracting the headlines. But there are still no shortage of...
Review Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night - The Finest Castlevania Game Never Made
Oh what a night
And breathe. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night – the long-awaited Koji Igarashi-helmed spiritual successor to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night – is finally here.

Review The Sinking City - Detective Dealings Shine Alongside Classic Lovecraftian Horror
Care for some afternoon tea, Reed?
Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments is one of the most underrated games of the PlayStation 4’s early days. Its blend of personality, detective work, and hard-hitting conclusions should have taken the title much further than it did during a lacklustre 2014. That magic touch was most definitely lost on its open...

Review Vacation Simulator - It's a Jolly Holiday with You, Bot
Trip Ad-visor
We're sure the irony of taking a fake holiday within the confines of virtual reality isn't lost on Owlchemy Labs, a studio that revels in the absurdity of what it's making. Job Simulator was one of PlayStation VR's first games, a series of silly sandboxes stuffed with interactive objects and madcap characters. It's about as far from...

In the past, SEGA has at least...
News PSVR Adventure Moss Updated Today with Free Twilight Garden Content
Expands the miniature world
One of the only real criticisms we had of PlayStation VR title Moss was that there isn't more of it. Over a year later, developer Polyarc has now released a content expansion for the cutesy adventure, and it's available to download now as a free title update. Coming in at about 3GB, the update adds the Twilight Garden to...
News Journey to the Savage Planet Looks Like a Daft Sci-Fi Adventure on PS4
Lands next year
Journey to the Savage Planet was announced back at last year's Game Awards show, and we haven't seen much since.

How do you unlock all of the endings in The Sinking City?

The tension is palpable, and as you feel that bead of sweat slowly trickle down the side of your head, you decide to make your move. With one quick step, you go for the...
News The Division 2's Latest Update Seems to Break Enemy AI and Damage Output Again
Oh come on
The Division 2 developer Massive Entertainment deserves credit for the way that it's supported the game so readily, but it'd be disingenuous to say that everything's gone smoothly since the looter shooter launched back in March. Once again proving that live service projects aren't easy to properly maintain, The Division 2 has been hit...
News More Will Be Revealed About the New Yakuza Game Next Month

News 2021 Will Be the 'Next Big Year for Sonic', Says Sonic Team Boss
Next-gen Sonic?
Back in 2017, SEGA released two new games in its most iconic franchise: Sonic Mania and Sonic Forces.

It seems as though Sonic Team might be plotting a similar approach when the...

News Respawn Entertainment Discusses Metroid Style Design for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
An "exploration game"
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order looked fairly promising during its gameplay demonstration at EA Play earlier this month. What wasn't made particularly clear is that the game's structure is actually similar to that of series such as Metroid Prime. As explained by Jeff Magers, lead level design
Feature We're Making a Game with Dreams on PS4 - Issue 4
A delay to the service
Just as the headline states, we're getting our creative juices flowing with Dreams, Media Molecule's outrageously ambitious PlayStation 4 exclusive that opens the floodgates for user made content.

Review F1 2019 - Solid But Evolutionary Formula One Driving Sim
The old F1-F2
F1 2019 is the next instalment in Codemasters’ hugely popular Formula One racing franchise, and it’s arriving nearly two months earlier in the calendar than the previous games. But with the addition of F2, a couple of racing legends, and a visual polish, does this entry take franchise pole position? Fire up a race in F1 2019 as a...
Review Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled - An Unapologetically Retro Racing Revival
Resolution wump
On a lot of levels, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is a resounding success. This Beenox recreation of the 20-year-old original looks and sounds fantastic, and it plays just like it did back in the day. For fans, it's about as good a remake as you could hope for, but we're not quite convinced that a prettified retread is enough of a...

News Cyberpunk 2077 Is a 'Whole, Full Value Game' with Expansions Coming After Launch
Just like The Witcher 3
We're big fans of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt here at Push Square Towers, but arguably some of its best content came later down the line. The base game is fantastic, but the DLC released by CD Projekt RED is outstanding too. The duo of expansions dwarf some full blown games on PlayStation 4, and they both have great additional...
News NHL 20 Cover Star Revealed at 2019 NHL Awards
Release date also confirmed
For the past few years, EA has chosen to use the NHL Awards ceremony to reveal its new cover athlete, and that trend has continued this year. NHL 19 cover athlete P.K.

News Penn & Teller Bring Scam Minigames to PSVR Next Month
As pointless as it looks
You may be familiar with Penn & Teller Smoke and Mirrors for SEGA CD, a daft minigame compilation designed specifically to scam your friends with.

Adult entertainment
At the beginning of Larry Laffer’s latest adventure, you can prompt seedy barkeep Lefty for information on the current era.

News The Famous Cross-Dressing Mission in Final Fantasy VII Is 'More Modern' in the Remake

News Sony Was the Third Most Popular Publisher at E3 2019, Despite Never Being There
Talking itself into third place
Sony skipped E3 2019 completely, and yet it still managed to be the third most talked about publisher at the show. As Hollywood Reporter reveals, the Japanese giant made it on to the podium alongside Xbox in second and Nintendo first. It surely has to be chalked up as a pretty major success for the company, who
News Keanu Reeves and Final Fantasy VII Remake Dominate Social Media at E3 2019
Nintendo won though
They were by far two of the biggest moments of a lacklustre E3 2019, and it looks like social media agrees with us.

2D console wars
Things have definitely changed since the last time we visited the land of Gamindustri (yes, that’s really what the world is called).

Super Neptunia RPG is a spin-off from the Hyperdimension Neptunia games, a super cute...

Whistle stop tour
In CD Projekt RED's previous blockbuster RPG, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, you were able to whistle for Roach wherever you happened to be.

Review Effie - A Charming Concept That Feels Much Too Easy
Young at heart

News Was Halo: The Master Chief Collection Considered for PS4?
Franchise director weighs in on wild rumour

E3 2019 Borderlands 3 Gunplay Is Supposed to Be Massively Improved
Lock and load
Borderlands: The Handsome Collection is a solid package on PlayStation 4, but it's difficult to deny just how dated the moment to moment gunplay feels. There's a distinct lack of impact to most of the weapons, and the visual feedback is pretty poor by today's standards, even if damage numbers are flying all over the screen. What we're...
News The Fallout 76 Canvas Bag Saga Finally Appears to Be Over
7 months later
Remember when Bethesda said that the Fallout 76 collector's edition would come with a canvas bag, and then it didn't?
