All will be revealed
We know we say this every year, but 2018 really is our biggest Christmas schedule ever.

We’re really proud to be ending the...
Site News God of War Wins the Push Square Forum's Game of the Year
Marvel's Spider-Man and Red Dead Redemption 2 in top three
Looks like Kratos may need to invest in a new trophy cabinet, because hot on the heels of last week’s The Game Awards 2018 win, God of War has now topped the Push Square forum’s Game of the Year poll. As brilliantly organised by community member KratosMD [Coincidental username...

The pick of the bunch
That’s it, then – almost two weeks of Christmas content done and dusted.

Game of the Year 2017 Jacob's Personal Picks
Acceptable in the 80s
As is becoming an annual tradition here at Push Square Towers, we’ve corralled our core group of staff writers and prodded them until they’ve told us what their favourite five games of the year are. With such a strong assortment to select from, added force was required in some instances. Jacob was no bother at all...
Feature The 10 Best PlayStation Soundtracks of 2017
Reelin’ in the year
2017 was an absolute banner year for games: AAA games were firing on all cylinders, indies knocked it out of the park again and again, and there were more Game of the Year contenders than we care to count. Alongside many of these stellar games were absolutely phenomenal soundtracks, too. This year more than any other was the...
Game of the Year 2017 What Was Your Favourite PlayStation Game of 2017?

All you have to do vote for your three favourite titles. And we should probably emphasise that:...
Game of the Year 2017 #1 - Persona 5
Now it's personal
Every time we write about Persona 5 we worry that we're going to run out of superlatives. Frankly, the game's an absolute masterpiece. Not only is it one of the best titles on PlayStation 4 – and PlayStation 3, if you want to get technical about it – it's also one of the greatest Japanese role-playing games of modern times...
Game of The Year 2017 Joey's Personal Picks
The will of the scribes
As is becoming an annual tradition here at Push Square Towers, we’ve corralled our core group of staff writers and prodded them until they’ve told us what their favourite five games of the year are. With such a strong assortment to select from, added force was required in some instances. Fortunately, Joey was no...
Game of the Year 2017 #2 - Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
Mega mix
What makes Uncharted: The Lost Legacy so special is the fact that Nathan Drake is nowhere to be seen, and yet this final entry before the series goes into hiding manages to wrap a perfect bow around his adventures. Fan favourite Chloe Frazer returns alongside the fourth instalment’s newcomer Nadine Ross to create an excursion to India...

With such a strong assortment to select from, added force was required in some instances. We gave Alex the side-eye as he...
Game of the Year 2017 #3 - Horizon: Zero Dawn
Thunderjaw dropping
It still seems crazy to think that the studio responsible for the Killzone series, a PlayStation mainstay for well over a decade, would make such a creative leap. From a dingy first-person shooter series of fluctuating quality to a vast, vibrant open world RPG, rarely do we see studios of Guerrilla’s size and reputation stray...

Feature The PS4 Games You Already Forgot Were Released in 2017
The forgettable experiences
Traditionally, the end of December is used as a time to reflect on the very best that this year has served up. Game of the Year lists are aplenty, the Push Square countdown to number one has already begun, and our fellow scribes are penning articles on the games that they think have been overlooked. But what you won’t...
Game of the Year 2017 #4 - What Remains of Edith Finch
This old house
AAA games may have had a banner year, but there was a lot to love in the indie scene as well. Developer Giant Sparrow’s newest title, What Remains of Edith Finch, was the best of the bunch. The dev's first title since 2012’s incredible debut The Unfinished Swan, the title tells a terrific tale about a terrifically unlucky...

Soapbox NieR: Automata Has the Best Credits Sequence of 2017
Stay till the end
NieR: Automata is bursting with bonkers moments, so it’s only fitting that it should bring out a wrecking ball for its finale. After three full playthroughs of its campaign (each revealing different endings and routes to its finish line) the title decides that enough is enough – and instead of simply breaking the fourth-wall,...
Game of the Year 2017 #5 - Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
Trump card
Considering B.J. Blazkowicz started his video game life as a gurning character portrait at the bottom of your screen, his transformation into a nuanced, relatable character – which continues at full pace in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus – is symbolic of much of what made this title one of 2017’s best. Deftly...

Soapbox Everything's Goalless Universe Is PS4's Most Relaxing Playground
Stephen thinks the lack of structure is one of the game’s best traits
There’s a tips page in Everything's Help menu. The first bullet point on this list of hints is by far the most important, and it informs you of exactly the type of game you’re about to play. It doesn’t tell you about a specific feature, or tell you any controls, or...
Game of the Year 2017 #6 - Resident Evil 7
The cure
Every time Capcom took a step forward, it made two steps backward over the past decade with its flagship horror franchise. Resident Evil 5 demonstrated a questionable turn toward action, but Resident Evil: Revelations steered back on course with its eerie, claustrophobic setting. The disastrous, confused sixth entry ruined this by capsizing...
Game of the Year 2017 Graham's Personal Picks
A damn fine list
As is becoming an annual tradition here at Push Square Towers, we’ve corralled our core group of staff writers and prodded them until they’ve told us what their favourite five games of the year are.

Game of the Year 2017 #7 - Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
The voices
Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is dark, poignant, and utterly essential. It’s the only game in our 2017 countdown capable of having long-lasting effects on real lives, and for that alone it deserves its position in our list. But the Celtic adventure is so much more than an exploration into the symptoms of psychosis – it’s also an...

Game of the Year 2017 #8 - Yakuza 0
Smooth criminal
The Yakuza series has been around since the heyday of PlayStation 2, and yet the series never really felt like it got going in the West. This author's in the camp where he had never really played a Yakuza game before 0. This flashback episode opened up an entry point to a series that has forever held interest only for many to be...

Game of the Year 2017 #9 - Night in the Woods
Mae it be
There's something profoundly gentle about Night in the Woods. That feels like a weird thing to say about a video game which is, among other things, about the destructive power of mental illness, but it's true. It stands as a good companion piece to another of 2017's great games, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. But where that game is...

Game of the Year 2017 #10 - Tekken 7
King of the iron fist
Tekken hasn't been this good in a long time. In terms of pure gameplay depth and spectacle, Tekken 7 is right up there with the best fighting games on the market. It's satisfying, rewarding, and incredibly well balanced. That last point stems from the fact that it was available in Japanese and Korean arcades for ages before it...

Game of the Year 2016 #1 - Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
Drake-ness awaits
It's surely no exaggeration to say that Uncharted 4: A Thief's End embarrasses some parts of the industry. Naughty Dog has gotten so good at writing memorable characters that it's practically in a league of its own these days, and it's rough to think that the rest of the medium can't catch up. Nathan Drake's final adventure may...

Game of the Year 2016 #2 - Inside
Inside out
Much has been said about the last twenty minutes of Inside. And rightly so – it's one of the most intense and intriguing sections of any game in recent memory. But to focus solely on those moments would be to do a disservice to what is a consistently excellent experience. Indeed, from its very first second, Playdead's sophomore effort...

Game of the Year 2016 #3 - Overwatch
Together, we are strong
Shooters are not prone to positivity. Whether it's a grim illustration of objectivism as a societal foundation in BioShock or a striking commentary on senseless violence in Spec Ops: The Line, the genre typically doesn't have settings, characters, or themes that are uplifting. A fallen world makes way for endless scenarios...

Jeez, where do you start with this one? What could have quite easily been a catastrophe, Final Fantasy XV has made into our top five games of 2016.
