Review Graceful Explosion Machine (PS4)
Swiss army spaceship
There are plenty of arcade shooters on Sony consoles; Housemarque's Super Stardust HD and Resogun pretty much set a gold standard on PlayStation. Other than shifting perspectives and prettier graphics, there aren't that many twists left in the genre. Vertex Pop’s Graceful Explosion Machine distinguishes itself from the rest of...

News New Gameplay Is Our Best Look Yet at Dynasty Warriors 9 on PS4
China joy
Even more Dynasty Warriors 9 gameplay? We won't say no.

It's got traversal, combat, and cool combos. Are...

News UK Sales Charts: Crash Bandicoot Runs Away with Fifth Number One
He's havin' a good time
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy has cruised unchallenged to a fifth week at the top of the UK sales charts, although the retail release schedule is a bit barren right now. Nevertheless, it marks the first time that a PlayStation 4 exclusive has registered five weeks at the summit – and it’s also the secured the most...
Review Masquerada: Songs and Shadows (PS4)
The straight and narrow
Masquerada: Songs and Shadows is a fully voiced, story-driven, tactical role-playing game set in a flamboyant fantasy land that takes inspiration from various European cultures.

Feature The Promising PS4 Games of August 2017
Summer never ends
Last week, the editorial staff here at Push Square sat down to work out our coverage schedule for August, and as we ran through the month's release dates, we couldn't quite believe our eyes.

At the Dragon Quest Summer Festival 2017 in Tokyo overnight, Square Enix revealed the next instalment in its Minecraft-inspired build-‘em-up for the PlayStation 4, which will boast all-new features like aquatic...
Review Patapon Remastered (PS4)
Pata-pata-pata-pun
Patapon Remastered shares some of its DNA with two other re-released, obscure Japanese games from Sony. Like PaRappa the Rapper, its gameplay boils down to following the beat of the catchy music, and its cutesy vector art style is similar to LocoRoco. It does plenty to set itself apart, however, with a rhythm/strategy combination...
News You Won't Be Able to Edit Your Imported Guardians in Destiny 2
No haircuts allowed
At the beginning of the month, Bungie migrated existing Destiny accounts over to Destiny 2 in preparation for the sequel's launch in September.

Video Watch an Hour of Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun PS4 Gameplay
Secretive shinobi

Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 180
Makin' sacrifices
Ah, summer. It’s typically about this time that we’d been clearing out our backlogs, but the PlayStation 4 has amassed a software selection that makes such endeavours futile. The coming weeks threaten to be jam-packed with noteworthy new releases, and we’re already hard at work on a handful of them. Here’s what we’re...
At wit's end
When Steam introduced Early Access, it opened the flood gates for games like Rust, The Forest, and Hinterland’s The Long Dark. We’ve spent some time with each of these, and though they all have their merits, The Long Dark is the best of them. The Long Dark has a bit of an odd distinction as being one of the only survival...
Feature Four Years Later and Warframe Is Easily One of the Best Free-to-Play Games on PS4
Go ninja
Warframe was one of several free-to-play games available on PlayStation 4 for the console's launch. When we reviewed it all the way back in December of 2013 (that long ago? Really?) it's safe to say that we were critical. Back then, the third-person action title was still technically in its beta phase on Sony's system, and it had more than...
FAQ How Long Will Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Take You to Beat?
It's a full-length Uncharted game
Naughty Dog’s been clear what Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is, but there still seems to be some confusion surrounding the project. So let’s make this straight-forward right from the start: it’s a full-length, standalone instalment in the action adventure series. Nathan Drake won’t be present – the game stars...
News Dragon Quest XI Is a Stunning RPG on PS4 and PS4 Pro
Performance is spot on, too
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age has to be one of the best looking role-playing titles on the PlayStation 4. Combining Akira Toriyama's timeless art style with the graphical prowess that the Unreal Engine 4 brings to the table, we could sit and watch Japanese streams of the game all day long. If you...
Talking Point Should The Last of Us Cash in on the Battle Royale Craze?
Boots on the Battlegrounds
You may have heard of a little game called PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. It’s coming to the PlayStation 4 eventually, but is in Early Access at the moment, and Sony doesn’t really support that. Nevertheless, it’s already amassed
News Destiny 2 Is Going to Be a Huge Hit, but You Knew That Already
Pre-orders above first game's
Love it or hate it, Destiny 2 is going to make Activision a whole lot of money. The sci-fi sequel was a talking point during the publisher's latest earnings call, where the company was keen to big up Bungie's shooter. According to Activision, the recent beta attracted more players than the...
News Gran Turismo Sport Has the Best Photo Mode Ever Made
Scape believe
Gran Turismo Sport may be light on single player content, but one area it’s absolutely not lacking in is photography options. Series creator Kazunori Yamauchi – a keen photographer himself – has masterminded what Polyphony Digital is calling Scapes, which essentially allows you to drop car models into real-world locations...

The dark knight
Telltale Games introduced its version of the Joker – named John Doe in this story – during the first season of its episodic Batman series, and he’ll return in sequel The Enemy Within, which is scheduled to get underway next week. The neat thing is that the developer’s teasing how your decisions will shape the green-haired...
News The Last of Us: Part II Appears to Be Set in Seattle
Come as you are
The Last of Us: Part II is still a subject of much secrecy. As Naughty Dog keeps itself busy with the impending Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, the developer hasn’t said a whole lot about Joel and Ellie’s upcoming adventure – although we do know that the title will have a motion captured pig. That’s left fans trying to figure out...

"We had no idea it'd be this popular"
We’re going trumpet our own horn a little bit here: we told you time and time again that Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy was going to be huge. But it seems even Activision didn’t predict the PlayStation 4 remake’s, ahem, N. Sane success – with CEO Eric Hirshberg admitting during an earnings call that the...

Gamescom 2017 is just a few weeks away.

We skimmed through the video and caught a fist-bump bit – it’s nice to know new developer Deck...
News Dynasty Warriors 9 Won't Be a PS4 Exclusive in the West
Koei Tecmo confirms
Publisher Koei Tecmo has revealed that Dynasty Warriors 9 won't be a PlayStation 4 exclusive here in the West as it'll also be coming to Xbox One and Steam. Not the most exciting of stories for a PlayStation website, but we thought it was worth a mention. Over the last couple of weeks, we've seen the hack and slash title in...
News City Shrouded in Shadow Continues to Look Like the Best PS4 Game Ever
Ultra, man
We’ve been saying it for a while, but City Shrouded in Shadow’s surface jankiness belies basically the best thing ever. Granzella has debuted the first ever gameplay footage from the PlayStation 4 release, and it’s every bit as stupid as we’ve been hoping. In the clip, we see the protagonist go shopping in a convenience store,...

News Four Years After Launch, Grand Theft Auto Online Just Had Its Best Quarter
Gangster's paradise
Grand Theft Auto Online enjoyed its best ever quarter in the period spanning 1st April to 30th June – despite the game being almost four years old.

News Yakuza: Kiwami Mugs 4 Free DLC Packs After Launch
Crime doesn't pay
Much like Yakuza 0, which launched earlier this year, Yakuza: Kiwami will be getting a bunch of free downloadable content packs following its release on the 29th August.

Bolt from the blue
Assume a pointed pose and post a Jamaican flag emoji, because Olympic legend (and Manchester United fan) Usain Bolt is ditching his running shoes for some footy boots as he laces up ahead of a bizarre cameo appearance in PES 2018 later this year. The eight-time gold medallist and fastest human in the world will be available as a...

News Microsoft Would 'Love' to Work with Sony on Major Minecraft Update
But it ain't happening yet
Sony has blocked Microsoft from releasing Minecraft’s big ‘Better Together’ update on the PlayStation 4, and this story’s probably going to rumble on until it changes its mind – or everyone gets tired of talking about it. The patch aims to unite communities across consoles, but as announced at E3 2017, the...
News Two Brand New Persona Dancing Games Announced for PS4, Vita
Persona 3 and 5 in the spotlight
Persona 4 got its dancing game, so now Atlus has decided to reanimate the corpse of Persona 3 so that it can join the party alongside Persona 5. The latter was an inevitability, but a rhythm title based on Persona 3, too? Well, okay, we guess. So here's what's scheduled for 2018 in Japan: Persona 3: Dancing Moon...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of July 2017
Judges, trials, and hot stuff
This summer has just flown by, hasn't it? We're now sitting pretty in August, but we can't possibly forget the gaming goodness that came our way last month. July certainly wasn't the strongest period we've ever seen, but our internal staff vote to decide our Game of the Month was still a close call. Feast your eyes...

News Brazilian Ronaldo's Weird Wedge Haircut Will Be in FIFA 18
Reverse receding hairline
There are few things that this author remembers as a 13-year-old, but Ronaldo’s ridiculous haircut at the 2002 World Cup is one of them.

News Is Rockstar About to Bring Midnight Club Back?
Leaked images apparently appear
This is an unexpected rumour to say the least.

The nature of the game is unknown at this time, but images on an Xbox Live server...
News Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice Includes a 25 Minute Documentary on Psychosis
Added extra
One of the key themes in Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is mental health, and developer Ninja Theory’s worked with neuroscientists and patients in order to get that aspect right. So it’s pretty neat that the studio will be including a 25 minute documentary alongside the game itself to detail a little more about psychosis, and how...

Chasing phantoms
Persona 5 getting at least a couple of spin-off games is an inevitability -- especially considering its worldwide success -- but what could they end up being?

Store Update 1st August 2017 (Europe)
Pon-pon-pata-pon
The Augustopocalypse has arrived, so this is a predictably large European PlayStation Store update – albeit not as huge as future weeks are going to be. The highlight this time is probably Patapon Remastered, but also keep an eye out for Dino Frontier and Brawlhalla. PS4 Games: Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun (Not NZ) 31...
July2017
Castle crashers
Zen Studios must be contractually obliged to port CastleStorm to every viable platform, because it seems to get around like a king on a crusade. It’s a weird one because the game has never, in this author’s opinion, been all that exciting – but people must enjoy it otherwise it wouldn’t keep popping up like a bad smell...
Push Play Top of the PS4 Pops - Issue 4
Surfin’ on a sound wave
This year’s slate of releases has been a dream. But alongside many of these phenomenal games have been equally phenomenal soundtracks. And to be frank, we’re starting to get scared about that “soundtracks of the year” list come December. Between Persona 5 a few months back, Pyre this month, and Undertale next month,...
Leave me alone
Leaving Lyndow is less of a full-fledged game and more of a precursor to Eastshade Studios upcoming game, the aptly named Eastshade – it's a bit like what Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes was to the Phantom Pain. This experience mainly exists to provide context to the full game coming at a later date, as well as serving...
News Limited Edition Destiny 2 DualShock 4 Is Coming to Europe
It's fugly, though
Sony's launching a limited edition DualShock 4 alongside Destiny 2 on the 6th September. The primarily white and gold controller will be available across Europe, but for some reason, that doesn't include Poland, Russia, or the UK. A bit weird, that. To be honest, we're not that arsed anyway. We love a good custom DualShock...
Hands On Does LawBreakers Exert Its Own Pull in the Multiplayer Shooter Scene?
Gravity kills
There's not a single competitive shooter that can avoid the shadow that Overwatch has cast.

Top of the charts again
Ain’t no one getting in the way of the ‘coot, as Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy has continued its N. Sane sales trajectory with a fourth week at number one in the UK sales charts. To be fair, there’s not much competition for the classic platformer at the moment, but it’s becoming increasingly clear that the remake...

Sim racer is already disappointing some
Gran Turismo Sport is being taken on tour ahead of its October release date, but the response is not all that positive at the moment.
