Poll Have You Completed Elden Ring?
Never give up
There's no doubt that Elden Ring was one of 2022's biggest deals. The open world RPG released all the way back in February (which somehow feels like an age ago now), but it managed to be a conversational centrepiece throughout the entire year. This was, of course, down to the title's overall quality, but it was also thanks to game's...
Game of the Year #3 - Horizon Forbidden West
Pure shores
How do you improve upon one of the better sci-fi stories in recent video game memory? You go off-the-rails, of course! Dutch developer Guerrilla Games clearly hit Amsterdam’s finest pot shops while rolling up the plot for Aloy’s sophomore outing in Horizon Forbidden West, as – spoiler alert – this narrative involves clones,...
Game of the Year #4 - Trails from Zero
Crossbell's calling
Originally a PSP game from 2010, Trails from Zero was finally localised outside of Japan earlier this year. Thanks to the increasing popularity of the Trails of Cold Steel games, publisher NIS America felt like the time was right to introduce Western fans to one of the most beloved instalments in Falcom's long-running franchise...
Game of the Year #5 - Cult of the Lamb
It's good to be baa-d
In a year rife with excellent indie games, Cult of the Lamb always stood out. Though some grow weary of the ubiquitous rogue-likes and rogue-lites these days, this game puts a unique spin on the formula to create one of 2022's most ingenious gameplay cycle. Essentially, this is a game of two halves. The first is a fairly...
Don't think, feel
We were pretty much sold on Sifu as soon as it was revealed. A gritty but stylised martial arts revenge movie in video game form? Of course we'll give it a go. And we did indeed give it a go — over and over and over again. What we're saying is that Sifu is a difficult game, but don't let that put you off! Persevere with this...
Game of the Year #7 - Sonic Frontiers
Hedgehog redemption
Look. Sonic has been in a rough spot for bloody ages. There's no getting away from that, no matter how fast you can run. SEGA needed to shake things up, lest its mascot spiral further into the abyss. By some miracle, Sonic Team finally realised it needed to buck up its ideas, and the result is the character's best 3D game in a...
Feeling foxy
Tunic arrived a little later on PlayStation consoles, but by then, its status as a hit indie game was already assured. Largely created by just one person, this plucky action adventure transcended its humble origins to become one of 2022's best-rated games. It's not too hard to see why. At first glance, it looks like a simple...
Game of the Year #9 - The Last of Us: Part I
It wasn't for nothing (sorry)
Was there a sorer, saltier point of discussion among PlayStation fans in 2022 than the release of The Last of Us: Part I? We reckon only the rants of Sony’s legal team to governing bodies regarding Microsoft’s unprecedented acquisition of Activision Blizzard rank higher. No, there’s no point in ignoring the...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give The Witcher 3 PS5 Version?
Steel and silver
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition has brought Geralt of Rivia back to PlayStation with a bang. The incredibly highly rated open world RPG has been available on PS5 for about a week now — via a free upgrade, no less — and that's hopefully been enough time for you to form a full opinion on the game. In our opinion, The...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion?
Welcome back
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion released on PS5 and PS4 about a week ago now, and it feels like Zack Fair has enjoyed a fairly positive return. We've seen a lot of people saying that this is their first time experiencing Crisis Core — originally a 2007 PSP title — and with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth coming up next year (if it...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for December 2022?
Plus or minus?
A whopping 22 games are coming to PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium next week for December's big update. Highlights include the excellent Judgment, a trio of Far Cry titles, the two Middle-earth games, and inspired CRPG Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire
Poll What Review Score Would You Give The Callisto Protocol?
Deader space
The Callisto Protocol has been out on PS5 for a couple of weeks now, and we've seen some very mixed opinions on the horror title. Expectations were high for this spiritual successor to the Dead Space series, but it does feel like it's struggled to live up to the hype. We gave the game a respectable but slightly disappointing 7/10 in...
Poll Are You Playing The Witcher 3's PS5 Upgrade?
Wind's howling
The Witcher 3's 'next-gen' update is out today on PS5, and it's a free upgrade if you already own the open world RPG on PS4. With that in mind, it's a fairly generous offer, especially since we think Geralt's adventure is still landmark title. Our The Witcher 3 PS5 review concludes: "Over seven years after its original release, The...
Poll What Is Your PS5, PS4 Game of the Year 2022?
Have your say on Push Square's Game of the Year
With the temperatures plunging below zero and festive decorations erected, it’s time once more to reflect on the Game of the Year. Behind the scenes we’re busy preparing an eclectic slate of holiday content – articles to keep you occupied during the downtime in the dark depths of December. And as...
Poll Did You Buy Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion?
SOLDIER on
An impressive remaster of a PSP spinoff from 2007, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion is out today on PS5 and PS4. Square Enix will tell you that this isn't a remake, but in truth, much of Zack Fair's updated adventure has been remade — just not in a completely new form, as is the case with something like Final Fantasy VII Remake...
Poll How Would You Rate The Game Awards 2022?
Share your thoughts
That's another set of awards and announcements over with, so it's time to share what you thought of The Game Awards for 2022. Geoff Keighley had some mixed messaging going into the show, hyping it up in places but downplaying some announcements elsewhere. Still, the show itself seemed to deliver. The big reveals went to Death...
Poll Will You Be Watching The Game Awards 2022?
And why do you watch it?
The Game Awards 2022 is just over 24 hours away, and we want to know if you'll be tuning into Geoff Keighley's annual bonanza. Over the last few years, Geoff and his team have managed to expand the event beyond its original vision. What started out as a still relatively niche celebration of gaming has evolved into a huge...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for December 2022?
Plus or minus?
December's PS Plus Essential games have been announced, and as always, we've got three titles to scrutinise. Although to be fair, the immediate reception to December's offering has been quite positive — at least, from where we're sitting. The headline act is undoubtedly Mass Effect Legendary Edition — an excellent remastered...
Poll Did You Buy The Callisto Protocol?
Undead space
Dead Space is back! Well, not really. Although it actually will be when the Dead Space remake launches in January. Anyway, look, we're going off topic now. We're really here to talk about The Callisto Protocol, the new action-horror game from Striking Distance Studios — which just so happens to be spearheaded by people who worked on...
Embracing evil
We doubt that Evil West was on many people's must-buy lists at the start of this year, but the unashamedly 'AA' action game has actually made a bit of a splash — at least in hardcore circles. We gave the comically gruesome title a rock solid 7/10 in our Evil West PS5 review, concluding: "Evil West is one of those really enjoyable...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give God of War Ragnarok?
Oh boy
It took some time, but God of War Ragnarok is here, and we think it's glorious. Sony's latest blockbuster was awarded an exceedingly rare Push Square 10/10 in our full God of War Ragnarok PS5 review, and the title commands one of the highest overall Metacritic scores of the last few years. It's fair to say that it's been a critical hit. And...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Sonic Frontiers?
Unknown territory
Sonic Frontiers has been on the market for about a week or so now, and at least from our perspective, the reception has been reasonably positive. Even shockingly positive, some might argue, for what is the latest entry in a long line of critically panned 3D Sonic games. We really enjoyed the open world adventure, as per our Sonic...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for November 2022?
Plus or minus?
Another month, another avalanche of PS Plus Extra games, and...well, another reason to lose faith in PS Plus Premium, if we're being brutally honest. Indeed, there's one big talking point surrounding November's announcement, and it's that PS Plus Premium simply isn't offering up the classic PS1, PS2, and PSP titles like many people...
Poll Did You Buy God of War Ragnarok?
End times
We've been waiting a long time to write this particular poll! God of War Ragnarok is finally available on PS5 and PS4. The much-hyped sequel to 2018's excellent God of War reboot, Ragnarok has actually managed to equal the first game's Metacritic score — which is certainly no small feat — making it one of the highest rated titles in...
Poll Did You Buy Sonic Frontiers?
Feeling blue
Sonic Frontiers is here, and it's actually...pretty good? Well, that's what our own Sonic Frontiers PS5 review says, and it's currently sitting at a respectable 73 on Metacritic — which, let's be honest, is fairly high for a modern Sonic title. You could argue that the Blue Blur is back, then, but have the review scores been enough to...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2?
Staying frosty
The campaign has been out for two weeks and the multiplayer and co-op mode one week, so now it's time to share your own review score of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. We published our own Review in Progress of its single player offering, and then updated to a final score of 8/10 after having enough time to play everything Infinity...
Poll Will You Pay the PSVR2 Launch Price?
Pound stretcher
Sony has announced its next-gen PSVR2 headset will cost £529.99/$549.99/€599.99, which is more than a PS5. It's a lot of money to see written down, but when you start to consider the technology you're getting in exchange, the picture starts to become clearer. As detailed in our Full Specs Comparison guide including the
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for November 2022?
Plus or minus?
It's hard to believe that we're writing about November's PS Plus Essential offering, isn't it? The last few months of 2022 have absolutely flown by, but before we can look at Sony's subscription service as a whole for the year, we need to examine this newly announced line up, and gather some opinions on the matter. To recap,...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Gotham Knights?
Give it a rating, Bats
Now the dust has somewhat settled on Gotham Knights following a very interesting release period, it is time for you to share what review score you'd give it. Presuming you've at least played its opening hours, how are you feeling about the open worlder one week after launch? The latest Push Square poll is designed to sample...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give A Plague Tale: Requiem?
Share your own verdict
It's been just over a week since A Plague Tale: Requiem launched for PS5, so now it's time to share your own views and final review score, presuming you've finished the rat-infested adventure. As a direct follow-up to 2019's A Plague Tale: Innocence, it's mightily impressive what Asobo Studio has managed to achieve in just...
Poll Do You Care About 60fps on PS5?
Smooth sailing
Two new PS5 games have caused a bit of an uproar this week. A Plague Tale: Requiem and Gotham Knights committed the ultimate sin of not reaching 60 frames-per-second on Sony's current-gen console. As far as we're concerned, both are good games — Requiem being a genuine treat, as per our review — but that hasn't stopped people from...
Poll Did You Buy Gotham Knights?
A caped crusade
It's been a long time coming, but we finally have a new Batman Arkham game on PlayStation. Well, kind of. Gotham Knights is very much its own thing — a co-op enabled adventure featuring Bruce Wayne's crime-fighting protégés. We quite liked this one, giving it a respectable 7/10 in our Gotham Knights PS5 review. Other reviews,...
Poll Will You Buy the DualSense Edge PS5 Controller, Now We Have a Price?
A PlayStation premium
Back in August, just after Sony officially announced the DualSense Edge, we held a poll here on the site, asking you lot how much you'd actually pay for the upcoming 'pro' PS5 controller. Almost 3000 of you cast a vote, and broadly speaking, the results showed that most people wouldn't be willing to spend all that much on...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium PS5, PS4 Games in October 2022?
Plus or minus?
A whopping 23 new games are being added to PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium this month, and it's fair to say that subscribers are getting a lot of value for their money — at least on Extra. Every Dragon Quest title on PS4 is being added to the service, boasting hundreds of hours of potential gameplay —
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for October 2022?
Plus or minus?
The PS Plus Essential games for October 2022 have been officially announced, and you know what that means! As always, we want to know if you're happy with the latest lineup. Just to recap, October's selection includes three titles (as per usual): rather fun racer Hot Wheels Unleashed (PS5, PS4), super-powered fighter Injustice 2...
Poll Rate Your Favourite PS4 Games
Help determine Push Square's best PS4 games list
Ah, the PS4. At the time of writing this article, Sony's last-gen console is still very much alive, but the system is now entering its ninth year on the market. As such, we don't have a problem with looking back on the system's frankly excellent games catalogue, and we invite you to rate a whole bunch...
Poll Are You Okay with Kiryu Being a Main Character Again in the New Like a Dragon Games?
Legends never die
Hey, remember when Yakuza 6: The Song of Life was meant to be the definitive end of Kazuma Kiryu's long-running story, and then RGG Studio decided to have him star in not one, but two new Like a Dragon games seven and eight years later? What's all that about? Indeed, Kiryu is coming back whether you like it or not. He'll star in...
Poll What Was Your Favourite PS5, PS4 Game Shown at Sony's Latest State of Play?
A strong list to choose from
Another quality State of Play, another poll to find out what featured games tickled your fancy. Before we even begin, we think we know which title will monopolise the votes (it begins with God of War and ends with Ragnarok), but hey, there was still so much to like about Sony's latest showcase. Rise of the Ronin was one...
Poll Was Sony's Latest State of Play a Show to Remember?
Have your say
Sony's marketing team has proven time and time again it doesn't play by the rules anymore, so it should not really come as a surprise it left exactly 24 hours for PlayStation fans to get excited for a new State of Play showcase. PS5 and PS4 were the focus along with a few PSVR2 reveals, but what did you make of the show? Brand new...
Talking Point Is Assassin's Creed Moving in the Right Direction?
More more more
Ubisoft clearly has big plans for Assassin's Creed. The historically-focused franchise has arguably become the publisher's most important product, so it was no surprise to see the series headline Ubisoft's latest showcase. In fact, it felt like the entire presentation existed because of Assassin's Creed. The property had its own...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give The Last of Us: Part I?
Last but not least
The Last of Us: Part I — Naughty Dog's remake of the PS3 and PS4 remastered modern classic — has been available on PS5 for roughly a week now, and we want to know what you think of it. It's fair to say that this has been a divisive release, mostly due to Part I's full retail price point. This was something that we had little...
Poll Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for September 2022?
Plus or minus?
Sony blindsided us this week by announcing all of the games for PS Plus Essential, Extra, and Premium at the same time. As such, this month's PS Plus poll is a big one. Let's start with the Essential selection, which, as per usual, consists of three games. We've got delightful indie Toem on PS5, the flashy Need for Speed Heat on PS4,...
Poll Did You Buy The Last of Us: Part I?
Us or them
One of Sony's heaviest hitters of 2022 is here — and it's a remake of what many consider to be one of the greatest PlayStation titles of all time. However, Sony's decision to sell The Last of Us: Part I at full price has has already resulted in a tidal wave of criticism. As we wrote in our review, this is still a phenomenal video game...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Rollerdrome?
Skate or die
10 days on from Roll7's second PS5, PS4 release of 2022, it's time to have your say on Rollerdrome. The futuristic blood sport asks you to rack up high scores by taking out goons and performing tricks and grinds in-between. We had a really great time with the title, awarding it an 8/10 in our PS5 review. We concluded in our Rollerdrome...
You're the Boss
The rebooted, new-look Saints Row is here, and we quite liked it ( we even wrote a whole Saints Row Collectibles guide!) — but the game's received plenty of criticism elsewhere. As such, it's quite difficult to judge just how well this latest open world romp will resonate with players. It's got the advantage of launching at a time...
Poll How Much Would You Pay for the DualSense Edge PS5 Pro Controller?
Edgy enough for you?
It's finally happening: Sony is making its own 'Pro' PS5 controller, named the DualSense Edge. The pad was revealed through a brief trailer during Geoff Keighley's lengthy Gamescom Opening Night Live 2022 show, and it's exactly the kind of product that you'd expect. You can remap every input, save different configurations,...
Poll Was Gamescom Opening Night Live 2022 Any Good?
Have your say
The time has arrived to rate another Geoff Keighley bonanza. Of his three yearly shows, Gamescom Opening Night Live has usually proven to be the weakest, but did the 2022 version buck the trend? Share your thoughts in this Push Square poll. We already knew about a handful of the announcements going into the show, like a new look at...
Poll Is PS Plus Premium Good Enough?
How can Sony improve it?
With confirmation that exactly zero games were added to PS Plus Premium's library for August's update, those subscribed to the service's most expensive tier are understandably asking questions. Meanwhile, behind the scenes here at Push Square, we've been having conversations a
Poll Will Sony Host a PlayStation Showcase Next Month?
The age-old question
It has been almost a full year since Sony's last PlayStation Showcase, where it now typically debuts some of its biggest first-party projects alongside major announcements from other publishers. Last year's event played host to the reveals of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and Marvel's Wolverine, as well as a new God of War Ragnarok...
Poll Sleeping Dogs Turns 10 Years Old - Are You Still a Fan?
Going Wei back
Sleeping Dogs just turned ten years old! The sandbox title first launched for the PS3 on the 14th August 2012, and it's safe to say that it's fondly remembered. At the time, Sleeping Dogs didn't set the world alight with rave review scores or super high sales figures, but it did gain significant traction over the years that followed...
