News The Division 2's Second DLC Is Out in Less Than a Week and Nobody Noticed
New raid delayed
Remember The Division 2? What was supposed to be 2019's biggest looter shooter basically dropped off a cliff over the summer months as the experience broke over and over again thanks to patches and updates. Now, it's back with its second piece of DLC and it has caught everyone here at Push Square Towers off guard. Did anyone even...
Poll Are You Buying Ghost Recon: Breakpoint?
Breaking point?
Ghost Recon: Breakpoint is out today on PlayStation 4 (that's the 4th October, if you happen to be reading this at a later date), and it's safe to say that it's divided opinion. Following on from the beta last month, the open world shooter's been in early access for the last three days or so, and although we don't think it's a bad...
All-in-one
Ghost Recon: Breakpoint is a difficult game to review. Sometimes it's great fun, sometimes it's an incredibly banal but weirdly addictive grind. Other times it's a buggy mess. Our enjoyment of Breakpoint has fluctuated so much over the review period that we had to sit down and carefully consider whether we actually think it's worth...
News Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Showcases Auroa and its Enemy in Launch Trailer
£1.99 per view, please
We've been playing Ghost Recon: Breakpoint for the past couple of days, but the game doesn't actually officially release until tomorrow with the launch of the standard version. The Ultimate Edition came with three days early access, and because of that, we've had a taste of what the game's attempting to highlight in its new...

News Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Details Its Impressive Range of Accessibility Options
Fun for all
If there's one thing Ubisoft doesn't get enough credit for, it's accessibility options in its games. Not everyone can play video games in the same way due to a wide range of circumstances, and the publisher often does an admirable job of letting players tweak its titles to best suit their needs. Next up for Ubisoft is Ghost Recon:...
Hands On Ghost Recon: Breakpoint's Open Beta Runs Much Better on PS4
But it's not perfect
We're intrigued by Ghost Recon: Breakpoint. Ubisoft's upcoming third-person tactical shooter is more The Division 2 than its predecessor Ghost Recon: Wildlands, and it creates an experience that feels a lot like a Game as a Service would but in a setting that is more than happy to accommodate just the single player. This fact...
News Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Open Beta Is Now Live on PS4
Ready up, soldier
Update: The Ghost Recon: Breakpoint beta is now live on PS4: Original Story: The open beta test for Ghost Recon: Breakpoint was meant to get started today on PlayStation 4, but it's failed to materialise. Unfortunately, Ubisoft has confirmed it's had to delay the beta in order to make some final adjustments.
News Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Has a Battle Pass, Time Savers, and Microtransactions
That sure is a Game as a Service
It was sort of inevitable, but Ubisoft has now confirmed that Ghost Recon: Breakpoint will function exactly like a Game as a Service. It'll have two Battle Passes for each of the three Episodes planned for release over the game's first year of support, Time Savers that will help you get the rewards and materials you...
News Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Open Beta Begins Next Week on PS4
Rumble in the jungle
Ubisoft has revealed that the open beta for Ghost Recon: Breakpoint will begin later this month, lasting just a few days. It'll apparently feature content that wasn't part of the closed beta which ran earlier this month. Speaking of which, the general reaction to the closed beta has been mixed. Many longtime fans of Ghost Recon...

Feature Assassin's Creed Odyssey Season Pass Review - Is It Worth Buying?
Assessing all the DLC
On the 16th July 2019, Assassin's Creed Odyssey's season pass content came to an end with the release of the final episode in the Atlantis DLC saga. Spread out over the course of more than nine months (Odyssey launched on the 5th October, 2018), the season pass was clearly designed to keep players coming back. The season...
Hands On Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Is Grittier, Better, and Overwhelming
Who forgot to tell us this is Destiny?
If Ghost Recon: Wildlands was the starter, then its sequel feels like the dinners you've been eating for the past week rolled up into one gigantic main course. Seriously, Ghost Recon: Breakpoint is huge. We've poured a handful of hours into this past weekend's beta and come away impressed thanks to what appears...

Sokrates' Trial
The final Lost Tale of Greece for Assassin's Creed Odyssey is available to play now on PlayStation 4.

With this third and final episode in Assassin's Creed Odyssey's The Fate of Atlantis saga, the story of Alexios or Kassandra comes full circle.

News The Division 2 Director Asks for Thoughts on a Single Player Story-Driven Division Game
Lone gun
The Division is one of those properties that has an interesting concept at its heart, but because it's a co-op enabled experience, the story and characters are never really given room to breathe. But what if The Division wasn't an always online, multiplayer-focused series? What if there was a single player, story-driven spin-off? This very...
The stuff of myth
Announced at E3 2019 back in June at Ubisoft's press conference, Gods & Monsters is an entirely new title from the developers of Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Described as an open world action adventure game that's based on Greek mythology, we've got reasonably high hopes for the project, which is due to launch for PlayStation 4 on...
It's all in the grind
As soon as Story Creator Mode was announced for Assassin's Creed Odyssey, exploitation was an inevitability. By giving players the opportunity to craft their own quests, Ubisoft must have known that it was only a matter of time before people abused the system -- because that's exactly what's happened. At the time of writing...

News Watch Dogs Legion Continues to Sound Crazy, the Story Script Has 20 Different Versions
Cor blimey
Watch Dogs Legion has sounded ambitious from the word go, and the more we hear about it, the crazier and crazier it sounds. As you may already know, the game lets you play as loads of different characters, all of them randomly generated to some degree. Each and every character comes with their own strengths, weaknesses, name, and...
News The Division 2's Latest Update Seems to Break Enemy AI and Damage Output Again
Oh come on
The Division 2 developer Massive Entertainment deserves credit for the way that it's supported the game so readily, but it'd be disingenuous to say that everything's gone smoothly since the looter shooter launched back in March. Once again proving that live service projects aren't easy to properly maintain, The Division 2 has been hit...

E3 2019 Watch Dogs Legion Won't Feature Any Dogs Because Then You'd Have to Play as Them
A real shame

A teaser for an all new game called Gods & Monsters closed out Ubisoft's 2019 press conference. It appears to be a fantasy action game, and potentially an open world adventure of sorts.
