News PS5 Journey-Like Sword of the Sea Reappears Over a Year After Its PlayStation Showcase Reveal
Ride the wave
Sword of the Sea caught the eye during the PlayStation Showcase that aired in May 2023.

Lovely stuff, but we've seen nothing of the game since its announcement. Fortunately,...
News If You Like Journey, You Need to See Sword of the Sea on PS5
Be like water
Are you a Journey (the game, not the band) fan? If the answer to that question is yes, you've got to see Sword of the Sea.

But if Giant Squid's debut teaches us anything, it's that we should always take time to reflect on things which seem insignificant at first. The secret of...
E3 2015 PS4's ABZÛ Is Journey Set Under the Sea
Aquanaut's holiday
Being a bit of a contrarian, this author has always enjoyed deep-sea diving games. Aquanaut's Holiday is a particular favourite here at Push Square, but this scribe is also partial to the odd session of Endless Ocean on a certain other system.
