News PlayStation's Highest Rated Games of 2021 Have Been Revealed on Metacritic
End times
At the start of every year, review aggregation website Metacritic lists each gaming platform's most critically successful titles — and it usually makes for an interesting read. As you probably already know, 2021 wasn't a gigantic year for PlayStation as a whole, but arguably, that makes the official PlayStation list even more enticing...
News Showa American Story Is a PS5, PS4 Action RPG Straight Out of the PS2 Playbook
You're not ready for this one
Never has a new game looked more PlayStation 2 than Showa American Story! Announced as a post-apocalyptic RPG from NEKCOM Games, this will conjure fond memories of those strange titles you used to find in GameStop’s bargain bins back in the day. It’s got character action combat, third-person zombie shooting, and...
News The ESRB Rates Action RPG The Ascent for PS5, PS4
Roll out the red carpet
At the end of last year, The Ascent — currently on Xbox and PC — was seemingly outed as coming to PlayStation as well, albeit a little late. A Taiwanese rating appeared, more or less confirming a port to PS5 and PS4. It wasn't quite enough on its own, but this rating has just been backed up with another, from American...

Machine hunter
A big emphasis in Horizon Forbidden West will see you hunting mechanical wildlife for parts and components in order to upgrade your gear. More than the past game, you’ll need to destroy specific species in order to get the items you want. Guerrilla Games has streamlined this aspect by allowing you to create custom, on-the-fly jobs...
News Odd Genshin Impact Issue Prompts More PS5, PS4 Crossplay Concerns
But is Sony to blame?
For the most part, the chatter about PlayStation’s resistance to crossplay has gone cold. You may recall, Sony held out on the functionality for a short period, but it’s since become fairly commonplace across a number of key franchises – including the company’s own MLB The Show 21. There was a fresh spike of criticism...
News Fall Guys Is Getting Some Bugsnax Costumes in Tasty New Crossover
Everyone's talking about it

News Days Gone Also Sold Over 8 Million Copies on PS4, Claims Director
Probably over 10 million at this point
Ghost of Tsushima was celebrated at CES 2022 for selling over eight million copies to date, which is an impressive number no doubt. There’s always been a perception that fellow first-party open worlder Days Gone was a bit of a disappointment in terms of its commercial performance, but director Jeff Ross
News Naughty Dog Dying to Share Its Multiple Game Projects in Production for PS5, PS4
Good times ahead
During its CES 2022 keynote overnight, Naughty Dog co-president Neil Druckmann featured to talk a little bit about its collaboration with Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions on the Uncharted movie. As you’d expect, it was largely a puff piece, with the executive praising the filmmakers and also expressing enthusiasm for the...
Co-op shooter included with Game Pass on Xbox
Ubisoft+, the French publisher’s answer to subscriptions like EA Play, will launch on Xbox later this year – although despite some misleading wording, it will be a separate subscription to Microsoft’s own Game Pass. We’ve checked with the publisher to clarify this information, and it’s...

News PS5, PS4 Action RPG Babylon's Fall Goes Gold Ahead of March Release
The tower awaits
Babylon's Fall has travelled a bit of a bumpy road up until this point. The action RPG was first announced with a brief teaser trailer that certainly caught the eye — especially with Platinum Games involved — but following a lacklustre gameplay reveal months later, it's fair to say that the title has struggled to maintain any...
News Ghost of Tsushima Sales Surpass an Impressive Eight Million
Clean cut
If a company is ever looking to launch a new gaming IP, Ghost of Tsushima seems like the new template to follow. Last night during its CES 2022 conference, Sony announced that the latest game out of Sucker Punch Productions has now sold more than eight million copies worldwide. The impressive sales update represents another three million...

Soapbox Don't Let F.I.S.T. Pass You By
Liam likes this Metroidvania
F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch is a poor name for a pretty darn good game. I started and completed this Metroidvania over the Christmas holidays, and I think it's gone underappreciated. Not a world-beater by any means that'll rival the love Hollow Knight gets, but it's still an impressive first outing from TiGames. Its...
Feature Most Anticipated PS5, PS4 Games of 2022
A massive year for PlayStation
2021 wasn't an amazing year for video games in our humble opinion, but 2022 is set to offer us an embarrassment of riches. The release schedule for the first quarter alone is ridiculous on paper, and while we have no doubts that delays will quickly become a talking point, the fact of the matter is that 2022 should be...

Destructive racer Wreckfest is showing no signs of wear and tear several years after its release, with ongoing support from developer Bugbear adding new events to the title as part of a new winter tournament.

Talking Point Do You Read All the Crap in Games?
Book worm
I’ve been Macarena-ing my way through Far Cry 6 this week, enjoying the tropical sights of fictional South American island Yara and laying siege to the tobacco fields governed by tyrant Anton Castillo. It’s a great game – tonally all over the place, but mechanically engaging nonetheless – but I can’t help feeling shocked by the...
News PS Plus' Deep Rock Galactic Has So Much Day One PS5, PS4 DLC
The hard upsell
Deep Rock Galactic makes its PlayStation debut today on both PS5 and PS4, and is a free download for PS Plus subscribers.

News UK Sales Charts: Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Is Still Swinging
Thwip
The UK's final boxed games chart for 2021 is in, and as expected, it's hardly a surprising list of titles. FIFA 22 is dethroned, settling for second place after several weeks at number one. Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales was fifth the previous week, but has clambered up a spot into fourth, with 96 per cent of copies sold being the...

News Dying Light 2 Will Have Plenty of Gear on PS5, PS4
Loadout builder
Dying Light 2: Staying Alive feels like the forgotten February release, sandwiched between juggernauts like Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West – but the original co-op zombiethon was a huge hit for Polish developer Techland, and we certainly wouldn’t rule out its sequel from repeating that success. Delays have definitely...

Add them to your library
Not everyone loved December 2021’s PS Plus update, but if you’re paying for the service, you may as well claim the games regardless.

News Elden Ring Dev Feels the Heat of Demon's Souls' Sumptuous PS5 Remake
But graphics not top priority
Internally, this author has been joking that it’s a shame FromSoftware couldn’t get Bluepoint Games to remake Elden Ring before it released in February. Obviously, the upcoming fantasy RPG has the extraordinary art direction we’ve become accustomed to from the Dark Souls developer, but in terms of pure technical...

Game of the Year #1 - Resident Evil Village
A tall order
Resident Evil 4. It always comes back to Resident Evil 4. Almost 17 years on from Capcom's horror masterpiece, it's still considered the crème de la crème of the series.

News God of War Ragnarok Now Rated for PS5, PS4 Release in Saudi Arabia
Deity damage
Here’s an interesting little tidbit coming out of Saudi Arabia: God of War Ragnarok has been rated for release. Typically games don’t get classified until they’re close to launching, so this seems early for the anticipated sequel. Meta data scraped from Sony’s servers suggests the platform holder may be targeting a September...

Soapbox Sony's First-Party Exclusives Will Shine Once Again in 2022
Horizon! God of War! Gran Turismo! More?
I imagine everyone at PlayStation is proud of how it’s navigated the pandemic, but there must be a degree of disappointment within top brass walls. Sony planned for this generation probably better than any before it, and it had talked about transitioning players at record pace. The fact that it rounded out...

Smashing
Many felt that Crystal Dynamics may disassemble development of the oft-maligned Marvel’s Avengers following the fulfilment of its contractually obligated Spider-Man add-on earlier this year, but it seems the studio is busy beavering away on a new addition: She-Hulk. The character was first teased by a Twitter insider, and before you roll...

Soapbox Vermintide 2 Might Be My Game of the Year (But It Released in 2018)
Rats!
Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is a brilliant game. I bought it in a PlayStation Store sale ages ago, but a combination of home network issues and choppy PS4 performance made me drop it a lot sooner than I would have liked. Fast forward a couple of years or so, and I can't stop playing the bloody thing on PS5 (where it runs at a silky smooth 60...

In what feels like a bit of an off-year for the FPS genre, the field of nominees for this year's instalment of the best PS5, PS4 FPS game of 2021 doesn't feel quite as strong.

One of the bigger stories of 2021 came when Sony announced it had invested in Discord and was working on full integration with the PlayStation Network.

Game of the Year #5 - Psychonauts 2
All in the mind
No matter how much of a cult status the original Psychonauts holds, releasing a direct sequel more than 16 years later was always going to be a daunting prospect. Thank god Double Fine didn’t cave to those fears then because Psychonauts 2 is another game with creativity up the wazoo. Raz returns to work out who the double agent...

Penned in
Stories, characters, and the writing that brings them all together are elements of video games that many (including ourselves) would consider hugely important.

News Horizon Forbidden West's Slitherfang Foe Looks Outrageous on PS5, PS4
Snake eyes
We’ve been banging on about Horizon Forbidden West’s snake-like machine Slitherfang for quite some time, but with good reason: Game Informer continues to tease with its recent cover story on the Guerrilla Games sequel, and this very short gameplay clip is mesmerising to say the least. It’s all been dramatically captured by – we...
Soapbox Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars, the Most Relaxing RPG I've Ever Played
Yoko Taro's latest is super chill, says Stephen
By all accounts, I shouldn't really like Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars. As a rule, I shy away from JRPGs, because I often find them to be too complicated, too long, too insane, or some combination of the three. I've certainly tried to get into the genre, and my longstanding attachment to...
News PlayStation Database Has God of War Ragnarok Set for September 2022 Release Date
But it could be a placeholder
God of War Ragnarok is supposed to launch at some point in 2022, but we're probably not getting an official release date announcement until fellow exclusive Horizon Forbidden West has hit store shelves in February. And even then, we're expecting Sony to give it at least another few months. Assuming that it doesn't get...
Heavenly hell
While it's true Hades initially launched last year, it only came to PlayStation platforms a few months ago, and by the gods, it was worth the wait. It's no real surprise why the game scooped up so many awards 12 months ago; it's about as good as rogue-likes get, thanks to some slick gameplay and innovative storytelling. With the...

Worth a revisit
2021 will be remembered as a brilliant year for remakes, remasters, and enhanced PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5 ports. Since a lot of these games tend to get overlooked for Game of the Year awards in favour of brand new titles, we thought it would be fitting to highlight our favourites. As selected by the Push Square editorial team,...
Game of the Year #7 - It Takes Two
Together forever
Hardcore gamers generally don’t like playing with anyone but themselves, so when It Takes Two comes along and demands a second player be part of the fun just to start the game, it was always facing an uphill battle.
