Game of the Month Best PS4 Game of February 2020
For the dreamers
No prizes for guessing which game would win Push Square's coveted Game of the Month title. We've been harping on about Dreams for years now, and when it finally launched in full on 14th February, it truly lived up to everything we hoped it would be. Media Molecule smashed it, is what we're saying, and its long-awaited PlayStation 4...

As voted by you
The votes are in, and it's time to reveal the top four PlayStation titles of January 2020. If you missed the poll that we posted last week, our Game of the Month vote is now open to everyone -- not just staff. And so for the first time ever on Push Square, the following titles have earned their place through your own praise. Let's...
Poll Vote for Your PlayStation Game of the Month for January 2020
New year, new rules
Now that we're in 2020, we've decided that we're going to handle Push Square's Game of the Month award a little differently going forward. Instead of making it a vote exclusive to members of staff, we're opening the vote up to everyone. Yes, including you! On the 7th of each month, we'll bring you an article just like this one...
Game of the Month Best PS4 Games of November 2019
Cars, strands, lightsabers, and empires
With Game of the Year 2019 fast approaching, we almost, almost forgot about Game of the Month for November 2019 -- but we're here now. November was a solid month for PlayStation loyalists, with Sony's current-gen console offering a steady stream of highly rated titles. But as always, only one can be crowned...
Game of the Month Best PS4 Games of October 2019
Role-playing, Captain Price, murder, and cold steel
The spookiest month of the year has come and gone, but it's left behind a handful of choice video games. October's Game of the Month vote ended in a good old fashioned scuffle as several titles vied for our all-important Platinum Trophy, proving that Halloween season was a good time for gaming on...
Game of the Month Best PS4 Games of September 2019
Monsters, guns, sin, and relationships
September marked the end of what felt like a very long and quiet summer, bringing with it a load of new games. As such, it was a busy month for us here at Push Square as we got back into the swing of reviewing as many titles as we could get our grubby hands on. But of course, only one release can be crowned our...
Game of the Month Best PS4 Games of August 2019
Kids, chaos, story, and mind-bending powers
It's been a quiet old summer for the PlayStation Nation (we swore we'd stop writing that), but with an incredibly busy September looming, it feels like the drought is almost over. We've just got to get August's Game of the Month squared away and we'll be golden. As always, though, only one PS4 title can...
Game of the Month Best PS4 Games of July 2019
VR guns, VR ninjas, war, and big old hammers
Let's not drag this out: July was an incredibly dry month for new games on PlayStation 4. As such, our Game of the Month vote included just a handful of standout titles -- but that didn't stop it from being a hard fought battle. As always, only one game can walk away with our prestigious award...
Game of the Month Best PS4 Games of June 2019
Detectives, crystals, civil war, and bandicoots
Remember when publishers used to avoid the summer months at all costs when it came to releasing their games? It still happens to some extent, but you can't possibly say that June 2019 was barren. Last month, the PlayStation 4 was showered with new releases, and many of them were very good. This meant...
Game of the Month Best PS4 Games of May 2019
Cockneys, big guns, dumb cars, and eyeball faces
Look, we're not gonna beat around the bush: May wasn't exactly stuffed with blockbusters on PlayStation 4. While we did end up with quite a long list of nominees for our Game of the Month, only one title really caught our eye... But what was it? You'll have to read on to find out. Bronze Trophy:...
Game of the Month Best PS4 Games of April 2019
Ghosts, birds, blood, and freakers
Summer's almost here, and it's safe to say that we've hit a bit of a dry spot as far as new releases are concerned. April certainly wasn't the busiest month of the year, then, but there were still a handful of quality titles that caught our eye. Let's see which of them has been crowned Game of the Month, shall we?...
Game of the Month Best PS4 Games of March 2019
Students, agents, devils, and demons
Phwoar, March was some month for PlayStation 4. Sony's console was showered with several top quality titles -- especially if you're a fan of fast and frantic action -- and as per usual, we've gathered the Push Square team in order to determine our Game of the Month. After an incredibly close staff vote, here's...
Game of the Month Best PS4 Games of February 2019
Crazy inventors, mutants, dirt, and legends
February was something of a mixed month on PlayStation 4. It saw quite a few new releases, but not all of them were especially well received. Still, we've done our best to narrow down February's top four titles, even if we did have to lower the review score bar for entry. Bronze Trophy: Steins;Gate...
Game of the Month Best PS4 Games of January 2019
Zombies, jet fighters, hearts, and Yuri Lowell
It's the first Game of the Month for 2019, and boy has it been a tough one. January wasn't packed with new games, but a few heavy hitters did the business, making it a big month for PS4 players. It's safe to say that the year has started well. Bronze Trophy: Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown: Ace Combat...
Game of the Month The Best PS4 Games of November 2018
Dragons, vampires, assassins, and... Tetris
November is often the busiest month of any given year when it comes to new game releases, but that hasn't really been the case in 2018. Don't get us wrong, there were still some quality titles to chew on last month, but it was mostly October that saw the big games hit. Still, this year overall has been...
Game of the Month The Best PS4 Games of October 2018
Cowboys, Spartans, zombies, and little bug men
There's no doubt in our minds that October was one of 2018's strongest months for gaming. Stuffed with critically acclaimed blockbusters as well as highly rated smaller titles, it was a period that had just about everything. Of course, this made deciding on our Game of the Month that much harder. Before...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of September 2018
Footie, war, epic quests, and superheroes
September was a good time to be a PlayStation gamer. All told it was a rather stuffed month, with blockbusters sitting beside more niche titles -- and many of them reviewed especially well. That said, we bet you can already guess which game's won our coveted Game of the Month award. We could lie and tell you...
Game of the Month The Top 4 PlayStation Games of August 2018
Dragons, cells, sourcerers, and luchadores
Wow, what a good August that was. We've been saying all year that September, October, and November are absolutely nuts when it comes to release schedules, but last month was really strong in its own right. We gave out a number of high scores across a bunch of different genres, which only made voting for our...
Game of the Month The Top 4 PlayStation Games of July 2018
Endings, overtures, robots, and runs
The summer has so far provided a bit of a lull in activity for the game industry, but that's all about to change rather dramatically as we move into the business end of the year. But before we get swamped in the many, many new game releases of August, September, October, and November, let's first take a...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of June 2018
Cars, rainbows, dinosaurs, and puzzles
Though we're entering the quiet summer months, June turned out to be fairly busy for game releases. Despite E3 keeping us busy and the World Cup getting underway, we still found some time to play a bunch of great...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of May 2018
Dungeons, dragons, space, and androids
Well, May turned out to be a really solid month for PlayStation gaming, despite a lack of big-name releases. It was so solid, in fact, that our Game of the Month nominees list ended up being a lot longer than anticipated. But as always, only one title can be given our prestigious award. Bronze Trophy:...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of April 2018
Gods, wings, swords, and suits
April was a pretty darn good month for PlayStation gaming, and that was thanks to just a handful of top quality titles. But as always, only one release can be crowned Game of the Month -- and no, you don't win any prizes for guessing which title came out on top time this around. Bronze Trophy: The Swords of Ditto:...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of March 2018
Cars, guns, jailbreaks, and higgledies
As is usually the case, March was quite a busy month for PlayStation. EA actually decided to remaster a game, Ni no Kuni II finally launched, and the Ubisoft open world factory pumped out another vast adventure packed with enemy camps and hilarious bugs. Needless to say, our internal Game of the Month...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of February 2018
Giants, tiny mice, sprinting, and Henry
Following up an insanely strong January, February was never going to have it easy. The second month of 2018 may not have reached the same heights as its predecessor, but it was still a decent 28 days for PlayStation -- especially if you're a PlayStation VR owner, apparently. Bronze Trophy: Kingdom Come:...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of January 2018
Dragon balls, monsters, mountains, and fighters
2018 got off to a flying start with January, which turned out to be an incredibly strong month for new PlayStation games. Our staff vote was a tight one, with three different titles vying for that coveted Game of the Month award -- but ultimately, there can only be one winner. Bronze Trophy: Street...
Game of the Month The Best PS4 Games of November 2017
Detectives, deers, dealers, and dragons
We won't beat around the bush here: November wasn't an especially amazing month for great PlayStation 4 games. That's not to say there was nothing to pick up and play, but the big hitters of previous months weren't present. However, that actually made for a super close staff vote, but as always, only one title...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of October 2017
Nazis, orcs, farts, and sand
October was a pretty darn good month for PlayStation gaming. We gave out a bunch of high review scores, but as always, only one game can take home our coveted Game of the Month award. Without filling this opening paragraph with anymore fluff, let's get stuck right into it. Bronze Trophy: Middle-earth: Shadow of...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of September 2017
Killer bears, lost light, super sequels, and a classic returns
September was another good month for PlayStation gaming, making our staff vote a rather tense affair. Things are only going to get more and more heated as we move into the final few months of the year, so let's take the time to appreciate the relative calm before the storm. Bronze...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of August 2017
Treasures, hedgehogs, paranoia, and a lot of reading
Wowza, August was one stacked month for PlayStation gaming. We reviewed more games last month than any other month in 2017 so far, and there were actually so many quality releases that our nominees list for Game of the Month was the biggest we've ever had. Okay, so some titles didn't exactly prove...
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...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of June 2017
Iron fists, arcade action, anti-gravity, and an orange mascot
If you've been a fan of the PlayStation brand since the good old days of the PSone, then there's a good chance that June brought back some fond memories. Last month saw the return of three properties that once helped define Sony's console - and every one of them has managed to secure a...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of May 2017
Whimsy, Batman, shadow things, and exploding eyeballs
Yikes, it's the summer of 2017 already. The year seems to be flying by, but at least we've had more than our fair share of gaming goodness so far - and May wasn't found lacking for quality titles, either. As always, we got our team of writers together in order to vote for the best game of last...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of April 2017
Japanese Tetris, sexy masks, cursed families, and phantom thieves
Wow, we're really rocketing towards the summer now aren't we? A little while back it felt like 2017 had only just begun, but here we are five months in and we're buried beneath a mountain of PlayStation 4 goodness. Sony's console has smashed it out of the park so far this year, and...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of March 2017
Robot dinosaurs, giant demons, more robots, and truth bullets
March has been another great month for Sony's current-gen console, a machine which seems to be keen on completely stripping us of our free time. Back at the end of February, we were forced to point out that PlayStation 4 exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn would be, if anything, featured in this...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of February 2017
Floating balls, exploding balls, knights, and samurai
We've been saying this for a while now, but the PlayStation 4 really has got off to a great start in 2017. January was bursting at the seams with quality titles, and although February hasn't quite had the same level of success, it's still presented us with a slew of solid releases. Oh, and...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of January 2017
Cannibals, heroes, antiheroes, and gangsters
Without question, 2017 has got off to a great start when it comes to gaming. January was packed with Japanese goodness, with a slew of highly rated releases from the East hitting the PlayStation 4 one after another. It was easily one of the best openings to a year that we've seen in a long time, which...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of November 2016
Guns, knives, hipsters, and pretty boys
With November done and dusted, it's safe to say that the winter rush is over. We look forward to this period of peace every year, but it isn't long before we realise that we soon have to get busy with our Game of the Year coverage. Writing about games is a hard life, folks. Anyway, before we can crown a...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of October 2016
Tanks, Titans, slimes, and psychedelic bugs
Wow, that was one heck of a busy month for us here at Push Square. October was jam packed with new releases, from your typical blockbusters to niche Japanese role-playing games and just about everything in between. And as if that wasn't bad enough, we were also buried under the avalanche that was the...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of September 2016
Jazz, wrenches, demented villagers, and good old football
It's the start of the holiday rush, and the staff here at Push Square can feel it. While September wasn't stuffed to the brim with new releases, we did see a slew of anticipated titles hit Sony platforms, which resulted in a tight internal vote when it came down to deciding Game of the Month...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of August 2016
Robot limbs, scary dogs, virtual girls, and fish
See, this is what happens when you remember to organise the staff Game of the Month vote too early. Your humble host put the internal poll together before September had even begun, and now here we are, over a week later, and the damn article is only just being written. Still, we can at least push some...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of July 2016
Pixels, satsumas, warring China, and giant men with horns
Oh dear, July's Game of the Month article's a bit late, isn't it? Your humble host completely forgot about our prestigious award not once but twice in the space of about four days. That's surely some sort of new record? In any case, we're here now, and after a pretty close staff vote, we've...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of June 2016
Faith, robots, valkyries, and Sol Badguy
We may be into the quieter summer months of 2016 right now, but June still managed to offer up a decent selection of PlayStation titles. However, without a clear cut winner like May's Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, our internal staff vote proved to be an incredibly tight affair. Which game took top gong? There's...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of May 2016
Heroes, demons, tanks, and treasure
May was a cracking month for PlayStation, with several heavy hitting titles bursting onto Sony's latest system. Despite the strength of our Game of the Month nominees, though, there was a clear winner when it came to the crunch. And no, you don't get any prizes for guessing which release came out on top. Bronze...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of April 2016
A lot of aliens, agents, and Ashen Ones
March was an unusually quiet month for new releases, but don't worry: April appears to have picked up the slack. The Push Square team was hard at work last month, penning all sorts of critiques for various blockbuster titles – and as a result, our list of nominees for April's Game of the Month was the...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of March 2016
Beanies, bald men, salt, and dastardly tentacles
Usually a very busy period when it comes to gaming, March honestly wasn't too bad this year. With various big name titles being pushed into April and May, you could say that we got off somewhat lightly, but there were still more than enough good games for us to ponder over with regards to our Game of...

Urgh
I've had enough. From now on, Ramsey is not allowed to compile Game of the Month – and he's definitely not allowed to vote. Just look at February's line-up – it's a freakin' weeaboo's wet dream. I'm not having it anymore, I'm sorry…
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of February 2016
Zombies, anime, street fighters, and monsters of a digital kind
February's Game of the Month vote wasn't an easy one, as three separate titles found themselves tied for our prestigious award at one point – but we got there in the end. While the month itself won't be remembered for its blockbuster releases, it's safe to say that it was actually a...

Witness this
It's already February, can you believe it? Nah, me neither – but at least this upsetting event means that it's Game of the Month time. That's right, your favourite voiceover man is back with another top four for you to flagrantly feast on. And unlike previous Januarys, the line-up is a proper corker this time.
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of January 2016
Puzzles, Vikings, zombies, and starving kids
It's the first Game of the Month article of 2016, which should set us up nicely for the many upcoming titles that lie ahead. In truth, January didn't boast a whole lot of blockbuster releases, but thankfully, a slew of smaller budget games were on hand to keep us entertained. Sure, you can probably guess...

S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stuff
Sure, the Commonwealth may be laden with Super Mutants and all other sorts of (game breaking) bugs – but this Video Editor happened upon a terminal loaded with Final Cut Pro in a kindly Boston bunker, so it looks like you're getting a Game of the Month clip after all. Top hole, viewers!
