Poll Are You Playing Path of Exile 2?
Loot, glorious loot
Path of Exile 2 is probably the hottest game on the planet right now. The action RPG just launched into early access and it's already attracting a ridiculously large audience — but are you part of the hype? The first Path of Exile really struck a chord with genre enthusiasts, scratching a Diablo-like itch that Blizzard's own...
Poll What Are the Most Impressive Games You've Played on PS5 Pro?
Pro-digious
The PS5 Pro has been out for about a month now, and so we're just wondering... which updated games have impressed you the most on Sony's supercharged system? There are obvious frontrunners here — titles that have made headlines because of their clear improvements. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which suffered from a shockingly low...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for December 2024?
Plus or minus?
2024 is drawing to a sudden close, and Sony's revealed the games that are coming to PS Plus Essential in December. As per usual, we want to know your thoughts on the latest lineup. To kick things off, we've got Hazelight smash hit It Takes Two, which, following its original PS4 launch in 2021, has really solidified a reputation as...
Talking Point What Do You Think of the PS5 Pro, Three Weeks Later?
Pro-fessional opinions
The PS5 Pro is almost three weeks old at the time of writing this article, having released on the 7th November — and we think it's time to weigh up our early thoughts on Sony's supercharged system. At $700 / £700, the Pro's pricing still makes our eyes water, even though we've been playing games on the thing for the best...
Poll Rate Your Favourite PS1 Games
Build our best PS1 games list
Ah, the PS1. The original PlayStation console. The system that started it all. Released in 1994 in Japan, and then heading West in 1995, the PS1 is widely regarded as one of the most important — and successful — consoles of all time, shaping the industry that we know today. But as is the case with any truly great...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give LEGO Horizon Adventures?
Hey ho LEGO
It's been out for a full week now on PS5 (and Nintendo Switch!), and so we want to know what you think of LEGO Horizon Adventures. When this block-based excursion was first announced, opinions were divided. On one side of the coin, Horizon seemed like a great fit for LEGO in general, with its carefully constructed robot dinosaurs just...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for November 2024?
Plus or minus?
November's PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium selection is bound to divide opinion. On the one hand, Extra's got some potential bangers in the form of Like a Dragon: Ishin!, and the vastly improved Dying Light 2. Oh, and there's a little game called Grand Theft Auto 5 — but who hasn't played Rockstar's eternal open worlder at this...
Trust the Pro-cess
Well, here we are. Today marks the launch of a new PlayStation console — a mid-gen upgrade in the form of PS5 Pro. Boasting more capable internals and touting Sony's AI-powered PSSR, the angle is that the Pro will let you run PS5 games at higher resolutions without sacrificing performance. The best of both worlds, you could say,...
Poll What Did You Think of the Monster Hunter Wilds Beta?
No Seikrets here
The Monster Hunter Wilds beta was open to all over the weekend, attracting an awful lot of attention from old and new players alike. The test was hugely popular on PC — going by Steam user data — and so it's fair to assume that it was also a big hit on PS5, where it was available a few days earlier through PS Plus subscriptions...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for November 2024?
Plus or minus?
While we're still struggling to believe that the penultimate month of 2024 is somehow upon us, Sony has spilled the beans on November's PS Plus Essential games. As per usual, subscribers are getting three PS5 and PS4 titles as part of the base tier. So what's in store this time around? Well, we've got a brand new release in the form...
Poll Are You Playing the Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta?
Let's get Wilds
The Monster Hunter Wilds beta is available to download and play now on PS5 — but only if you're a PS Plus subscriber. It's open to everyone from the 31st October, but before then, we want to know if you're already beating down giant beasties with your favourite grossly oversized weapons. Wilds is set to release next year, on the...
Poll One Year Later, How Would You Rate Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PS5?
Double trouble
It's been one whole year since the release of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 as a PS5 exclusive. The much-hyped sequel had big shoes to fill given how beloved its predecessor was, and for the most part, it seemed to match expectations. Reviews were incredibly positive, and the title ended up winning some Game of the Year awards a couple of...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero?
Is it... Perfect?
To say the latest Dragon Ball game is popular would be a severe understatement. Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero absolutely exploded onto the scene last week, and it's been racking up massive player counts ever since. Fuelled by nostalgia for the old Budokai Tenkaichi games, Dragon Ball fans seem to be loving every minute of this arena...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Metaphor: ReFantazio?
RPG royalty?
The latest title from RPG powerhouse Atlus, Metaphor: ReFantazio has been making big waves since its release last week. The fantasy adventure was met with near universal praise before that, racking up the kind of review scores that would suggest it's a candidate for Game of the Year. The bottom line is that everyone seems to think it's...
Poll Are You Using the PS5's New Welcome Hub?
Welcome one and all
Most PS5 users should now have access to the 'Welcome' hub — a customisable screen that sits on your console's home menu, which basically just gives you a bunch of PS5 features at a glance. You can choose to see your friends list, your friends' recent game-related activities, your Trophy count, your controller's battery...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Silent Hill 2?
Break the silence
It's been about a week since the release of Silent Hill 2 on PS5. Expectations were incredibly mixed leading up to the remake's launch, with Konami handing its once beloved franchise off to Polish developer Bloober Team — a horror-focused studio with a fairly spotty track record. But by and large, the revival has been really...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for October 2024?
Plus or minus?
Another month, another glut of PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium games to (hopefully) look forward to. October's selection is made up of 14 titles, with Extra offering a typically varied mix of software, and Premium opting for a couple of serious crowd pleasers. So, a quick recap. Extra's headline act has got to be Dead Island 2, the...
Poll Are You Playing Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero?
Your wish is granted
A successor to Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 in all but name... Did you ever truly believe that this day would come? It's a great time to be a Dragon Ball fan, because Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is a roaring return to that classic arena fighter formula, where an absolutely massive character roster is the main selling...
Poll Are You Playing Metaphor: ReFantazio?
No longer a fantasy
Having first been announced by Atlus all the way back in 2016 as Project Re Fantasy, it's almost surreal to think that Metaphor: ReFantazio is finally here. The game's gone down a treat with critics — it's one of the highest-rated releases of 2024 — and the generous ten-hour demo seems to have won over a lot of potential...
Poll Are You Playing Silent Hill 2?
Welcome back
Remaking a beloved game from a series that's long since lost its way can't be easy, but the day of Silent Hill 2's revival is upon us. Many were sceptical of this project given Konami's treatment of its once classic franchise, but the remake has actually gone down incredibly well. "Bloober Team has faithfully and respectfully recreated...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for October 2024?
Plus or minus?
Hold on, when did Sony actually announce October's PS Plus Essential games? This is the question we found ourselves asking when we sat down to write this article, confusion clouding our already weekend-weary brains. But then we realised that October's lineup was revealed as part of the most recent State of Play — which was broadcast...
Poll Did You Pre-Order a PS5 Pro?
Go Pro
Earlier this week, Sony opened up PS5 Pro pre-orders through its PlayStation Direct store, ahead of pre-orders at participating retailers going live on the 10th October. Here in the UK, it took roughly four or five hours for the first wave of standard PS5 Pros to sell out — but the 30th Anniversary edition was gone in just a couple of...
Talking Point What Was Your Favourite PS5 Game from State of Play September 2024?
Ghost with the most
Sony's latest State of Play aired earlier this week, and to almost everyone's surprise, it was actually quite well received. The 33-minute presentation offered updates on a large number of PS5 games, while also providing a handful of fresh announcements. Now, obviously, Ghost of Yotei is the big one — and rightly so — but...
Poll What Did You Think of Sony's State of Play for September 2024?
The state of State of Play
Another State of Play has come to an end, and it's easy to argue that Sony needed to win back some good faith with this latest showing. Following on from the eye-watering PS5 Pro price reveal, the Japanese giant has to start justifying the expense of its mid-gen upgrade — but did this September 2024 broadcast do the...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2?
Hammer it home
A long, long awaited sequel to the original Space Marine on PS3, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 hit the ground running when it launched on PS5 a couple of weeks back. The action-shooter was met with rave reviews and quickly amassed an army of enthused players. It's been an undeniable success, and with a series of free updates...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for September 2024?
Plus or minus?
Another 13 games are being added to PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium this month, and we dare say it's a selection that'll divide opinion. The headline act is, of course, The Plucky Squire, which launches straight onto Sony's subscription service. The indie adventure has always looked superb, so here's hoping that it lives up to...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Astro Bot?
Bot or not?
Astro Bot has been available on PS5 for a week now, and you know what that means here on Push Square! Yep, we want you to give Astro's latest adventure a review score. At the time of writing this article, the game commands the highest Metacritic rating of the year so far — which is beyond impressive. Critics absolutely adore the...
Poll Would You Buy PS5 Pro If It Was Cheaper?
The $700 question
The PS5 Pro has been officially announced, and we've all seen the price. It's all anyone's been talking about since the reveal, and there's a genuine sense of disbelief surrounding the fact that Sony's charging $700 / £700 for its upgraded console. And for the record, we're in the same boat, expressing our bemusement in a...
$700, take it or leave it
Following on from months of rumours and speculation, the PS5 Pro has finally been revealed. Sony unveiled the new console via its own dedicated technical showcase, which pretty much confirmed what we've all been expecting: this thing's going to run PS5 games better thanks to more powerful internals. But was the...
Poll Are You Playing Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2?
For the Emperor
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is here, and it wants to take you on a blood-soaked crusade back to a simpler time — a time when unapologetically gory action games were all the rage. A surprisingly refreshing experience here in 2024, Space Marine 2 is a big budget sequel to the original 2011 shooter on PS3. It's been a while,...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Star Wars Outlaws?
Shoot first
Star Wars Outlaws has been out for just over a week now, and we want to know what you think of it. The latest Ubisoft-published open world adventure, Outlaws was drumming up a lot of hype ahead of its release, but the excitement seems to have cooled off quite a bit now that the game's actually here. Whether that's down to rather...
Poll Are You Playing Astro Bot?
Sit your bot down
Well, the time has finally arrived. Astro Bot is out now on PS5, following months of hype and, just this week, a tidal wave of ridiculously high-scoring reviews. As of writing this article, the PlayStation Studios exclusive is the highest rated game of 2024 so far, sitting incredibly pretty at a jaw-dropping 94 on Metacritic. It's...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Vampire Survivors?
Bloodlust
It's obviously been available for ages on other platforms, but Vampire Survivors only just released for PS5 and PS4 last week. A highly rated indie hit, we want you to rate this stellar roguelike for yourself, so it can potentially show up on our Best PS5 Games and Best Indie Games on PS5 lists. For the record, we think it deserves a spot...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for September 2024?
Plus or minus?
Another month, another set of PS Plus Essential games for subscribers to (hopefully) enjoy. September's offering is made up of three PS5 and PS4 titles, one of which is a brand new release in the form of Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions. It's always nice to see a fresh title get dropped straight onto the service, but it goes without...
Poll Are You Playing Star Wars Outlaws?
Vess or no
Star Wars Outlaws has landed on PS5. Ubisoft's open world adventure — developed by Massive Entertainment — has long promised freeform sandbox gameplay married to typical Star Wars vibes. It's one of the year's biggest releases in terms of potential widespread appeal, but have you decided to pick it up? Admittedly, though, we came...
Poll Are You Playing Visions of Mana?
Eyes open
Visions of Mana has arrived on PS5 and PS4. A brand new instalment in the long, long running RPG series, Visions looks to breathe some additional life into the beloved property, providing a sizable adventure across an incredibly pretty fantasy world. We awarded the game a 'good' 7/10 in our Visions of Mana PS5 review, concluding that,...
Poll What's Your Favourite Harry Potter Game?
Wingardium rate-i-osa
Despite the book series concluding in 2007, the enduring popularity of Harry Potter lives on today. Venture forth into your local Diagon Alley (otherwise known as the high street) and you’re sure to find some form of Wizarding World display somewhere, stocking all kinds of related treats, spanning novels, notebooks,...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Black Myth: Wukong?
Straight to monkey business
Black Myth: Wukong turned out to be a real game after all, and it launched on PS5 one whole week ago. We're hoping that most of you will have been able to form a functional opinion on the action title at this point, and so as always, we want you to give it an official Push Square rating. In case you're curious, we gave...
Poll What PS5 Game Had the Best Showing at Gamescom 2024?
The games of Gamescom
Well, that's another Gamescom in the bag. Granted, it wasn't the most bombastic event we've ever covered, but as predicted, there were plenty of updates on a wide range of anticipated PS5 titles. Trailers, gameplay demonstrations, developer interviews, previews... There's been a lot of information to take in. But as always,...
Shoot your shot
Sony's latest PS5 (and PC) release is here. It's called Concord, and it's a player-versus-player hero shooter. Yeah, it's not the kind of title that we've all come to expect of PlayStation Studios, but then this is part of the firm's relatively fresh foray into the world of live service gaming. At the time of writing, we're still...
Poll Are You Playing Black Myth: Wukong?
A myth no more
There was a time when many (including ourselves, at points) questioned whether Black Myth: Wukong was an actual, real game. A lengthy development cycle and a series of stunning trailers contributed to this perspective, but here we are, four years after the title's initial announcement, and Wukong has arrived on PS5. The action RPG...
Poll What Did You Think of Gamescom Opening Night Live 2024?
Live and kicking
Another Gamescom Opening Night Live has come and gone. Geoff Keighley's two-hour event gave us plenty of updates on existing titles — alongside a handful of surprises — but as always, we want to know what you thought of this year's presentation. Admittedly, though, the Push Square community hasn't been hot on Geoff's recent...
Poll What PS5 Games Do You Most Want to See at Gamescom 2024?
The games of Gamescom
At the time of writing this article, we're just 24 hours (or thereabouts) from Gamescom Opening Night Live. Geoff Keighley's showcase is expected to be quite meaty, clocking in at around two hours in length, and promising new game announcements, fresh trailers, and big updates. But once Geoff's presentation is over, we'll have...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for August 2024?
Plus or minus?
15 more games are being added across PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium this month, and as always, we want to know what you think of the lineup. At a glance, August's selection is what we'd call... interesting. Extra starts off strong with the all-time great RPG that is The Witcher 3, which includes the much enhanced PS5 re-release...
Poll Are You Hyped for Gamescom 2024?
Play the Gamescom
It's that time of year again folks, as the gaming industry descends on the city of Cologne in Germany. That's right, Gamescom 2024 is upon us, kicking off next week with Geoff Keighley's Gamescom Opening Night Live show on Tuesday the 20th August. But are you feeling excited about this year's convention? Historically, Gamescom has...
Poll Rate Your Favourite PS5 Roguelike Games
Run it back
What are the best roguelike games on PS5? That's a question that we want to answer, but we need your help in order to do so. As regular Push Square readers may know, our best games lists are determined by user ratings — and our goal is to make a new list specifically for roguelike titles. 'Roguelike' itself is a fairly modern term,...
Poll Have You Pre-Ordered an Astro Bot PS5 DualSense Controller?
You wish
In case you didn't know, the anticipated Astro Bot PS5 DualSense controller went up for pre-order today, resulting in a surprising amount of hubbub. Indeed, the special edition pad ended up selling out across a number of websites, and even Sony's own PlayStation Direct store had to bring back its dreaded queueing system in a bid to quell...
Poll Are You Playing Helldivers 2: Escalation of Freedom?
Time to dive
The first big update for Helldivers 2 has dropped, with the hope being that it generates some renewed hype around the highly rated co-op shooter. Titled Escalation of Freedom, the update is jam-packed with new game modes, objectives, and enemy types. There's even a new difficulty setting to tackle, and just about every aspect of...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for August 2024?
Plus or minus?
The PS Plus Essential games lineup for August has been announced, and as always, subscribers to Sony's base tier are getting access to three additional titles starting from next week. The question, though, is whether this month's trio will be better received than last month's rather disastrous combination. Over 50% of Push Square...
Poll Are You Playing Tomba! Special Edition?
Piggin' it
Tomba! Special Edition is out now on PS5, reviving what some consider to be a classic (and underappreciated) PS1 platformer. If you've never heard of Tomba! (or Tombi!, as it was known in Europe), then honestly, you're in for a bit of a treat. In our humble opinion, it still stands as a deeply charming and unique adventure — and if...
