Does Jeff Grubb really still have any credibility as an "insider"? After his whole "Zelda blowout" nonsense earlier this year I'd take everything he says with a gallon of salt as it's mostly just guess work.
The difficulty in Kena is definitely a little uneven but it's hugely enjoyable once you turn it down. It's probably the most Nintendo-like game I've played on a PlayStation console and good god is it gorgeous.
Will Push Square be reviewing the PS5 version? I have it in my backlog so I'm curious to see how much of an improvement (if any) the next gen versions are.
Why are Last of Us sales being compared against Saints Row? It's a bizarre comparison considering the former was released on a Friday on just PS5, the other on a Tuesday across multiple consoles.
Surely comparisons against Part 2's sales are more logical?
Considering they revealed this as some sort of MMO, the best thing Ubisoft could do is scrap it and start all over. Fans loved the original because it was a solid action-adventure game, not some totally different genre.
I really wish Push Square would work on the formatting of these articles. It would be so much easier and more appealing to read in a list rather than paragraphs of text. Your sister sites Pure Xbox and Nintendo Life are doing it so much better.
I recently finished this on Game Pass and while it's not a bad game the reviews were definitely very generous.
@Ward_ting I definitely agree on this point. I feel my biggest issue is that whilst you can upgrade your powers it never really feels like you're getting any stronger against enemies. It made combat very tedious.
I really wish Push Square would work on the formatting of your articles so they weren't such a wall of text and you could more easily see which titles are featured at a glance. Can you take some notes from sister sites Pure Xbox and Nintendo Life on it please?
Instead of updating this every week could you perhaps give coverage to an indie game or game you wouldn't otherwise cover? GTAV does not need more promotion.
@ShogunRok I thought the level-scaling was one of the better features of Extinction. It meant the game never became too easy and you constantly had to be on your toes unlike a certain other monster-catcher which has removed basically all challenge over the years.
@Kidfried I'm not sure there's any need to call articles on the charts click bait and question journalistic integrity. Nobody is forcing you to click and it clearly states they're physical only. Data is limited on UK (and US) sales charts so I'll take what we can get.
@RogerRoger I'm not sure how it was "mind-boggling stupidity" to release an exclusive title that appealed to the core audience of one of the best selling consoles of all time.
This gameplay looks... perfectly fine. It could literally be from any 3D Sonic game from the past 15 years.

Re: Frey Faces Her Fears in Flashy Forspoken PS5 Cinematic Trailer
When will game developers realise we don't want cinematic trailers, give us gameplay please.
Edit: To clarify, this is for games in general, not just Forspoken.
Re: Metacritic Recaps Highest Rated PS5, PS4 Games of 2022
@Beerheadgamer82 Why not just read the critic's scores then?
Re: Huge PS Store January Sale Live Now, Get the Best PS5, PS4 Deals Here
Not Push Square finally improving their formatting and not listing the deals in a paragraph. It's a Christmas miracle, thank you!
Re: The Game Awards Smashes Records Yet Again with 103 Million Viewers
Those numbers seem heavily inflated given the YouTube and Twitch figures quoted in the article.
Re: SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake Gets Ready for Release on PS4 in January
Looks great, the re-release of Battle for Bikini Bottom was an unexpected delight.
Re: PS5, PS4 Finally Shifts Some Software in Japan Again
I'm more shocked how poor those sales are for Sonic, yikes.
Re: PS5 Shipments Reach 25 Million, But Still Well Short of Yearly Target
@hhrrsn They produced 6.5m units in Q2. Their annual sales target for the full year is 18m.
Re: Stranger of Paradise's Gilgamesh Difficulty Will Test Your Skills and Reward You Appropriately
I honestly forgot this game even existed, hard to believe it only came out a few months ago.
Re: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Reportedly 'Still on Track' for March 2023 Release on PS5

Re: Silent Hill: Ascension Spotted in YouTube Video Data
@tameshiyaku You could just try... not clicking?
Re: Open World Action Game Kaku: Ancient Seal Coming to PS5, PS4 When Pigs Fly
I really don't understand the point of these trailers, show us some gameplay.
Re: Kena: Bridge of Spirits' Massive Anniversary Update Available Now on PS5, PS4
The difficulty in Kena is definitely a little uneven but it's hugely enjoyable once you turn it down. It's probably the most Nintendo-like game I've played on a PlayStation console and good god is it gorgeous.
Re: Big PS Store Indie Sale Live Now, Over 1,000 PS5, PS4 Games Included
Kena's well worth picking up for that price.
Re: Native PS5 Version of Biomutant Evolves 4K 60fps Capabilities, Free Upgrade for PS4 Owners

Re: Best Platformers on PS5
@Anti-matter What does Astro's Playroom "violating your gaming rules" even mean? Because you only play shovelware?
Re: Sonic Frontiers Divides Fans with Footage Showing 'Copy-Pasted' Level Design
Everything revealed about this game has just been a disaster. Very curious to see how the final product reviews.
Re: Gotham Knights PS5 Release Date Brought Forward by Four Days
This hadn't been on my radar until recently but it looks fun. I'll probably wait for reviews and a price drop.
Re: Final Fantasy 16 Producer Knows That Its Combat System Won't Satisfy Everyone
They should just copy the terrific combat system from FF7R, job done.
Re: Try Not to Die in FPS Bullet Hell Lunar Abyss
Looks very cool but would like to see a bit more gameplay.
Re: Sony Promises 1-Hour PS Plus Trial for Rollerdrome, Offers 35 Minutes
The Premium tier is such a scam, I feel bad for anyone who opted for it.
Re: Beyond Good & Evil 2 Just Found Its New Lead Writer

Re: 21.7 Million PS5 Consoles Shipped by End of June 2022
Another strong quarter given the stock challenges. How much had PS4 sold at the same point in its lifetime?
Re: Our Survey Says! Sorry, Gaming Isn't Good for You After All
Gaming also isn't bad for you. I guess it just comes down to personal preference in terms of what people like to do in their spare time.
Re: PS Store Sales Charts: The Quarry and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Battle for PS5 Number One
I really wish Push Square would work on the formatting of these articles. It would be so much easier and more appealing to read in a list rather than paragraphs of text. Your sister sites Pure Xbox and Nintendo Life are doing it so much better.
Re: Psychonauts 2 Is Seemingly Getting a Physical Version in September
I recently finished this on Game Pass and while it's not a bad game the reviews were definitely very generous.

Re: The Abysmal XIII Remake Gets a Huge Overhaul in September
I mean it's better late than never but it's taken them nearly 2 years?!
Re: Here's What the Card-Based Combat of Marvel's Midnight Suns Looks Like
@themightyant It was initially announced as card/turn-based RPG so it's not Firaxis' fault you chose to ignore that fact.
Re: Sony 'Not at All Finished' Growing PlayStation Studios via Acquisitions
@shgamer Thirsty for attention much?
Re: The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Protects the Precious on PS5, PS4 This September
I just hope they aren't rushing it out to coincide with the Amazon Prime series.

Re: Spider-Man Games Could Have Been Exclusive to Xbox
@LiamCroft Is his name Ong or Org as you use both in the article...
Re: Final Fantasy 7 News Planned for Game's 25th Anniversary Next Month
I don't see any sort of announcement happening until XVI is released.
Re: Sony: Acquisition of Bungie Represents a Major Step Forward in Becoming More Multiplatform
Considering how much Sony resisted cross-play this is an interesting change of heart from them.
Re: RPG Outward Gets Definitive Edition on PS5, Out Next Week
I'm shocked it was first released in 2019 considering how janky the graphics look.
Re: Rumour: Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio Reboots Among SEGA's Super Game Plans
Dear Sega, instead of waiting for these games to release and fail, maybe just remake the originals or direct sequels that people actually want to buy?
Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Is Free For the Weekend on PS5, PS4
I'm really interested in this but the timing couldn't be worse.
Re: Dying Light 2 Has Found More Really Big Numbers to Boast About
The small d*ck energy of their socials is weird.
Re: Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection Out 28th January on PS5
@Vivi-Gamer It's literally stated in the article:
However. the versions offered through PS Plus are not part of this offer.
Re: Rumour: Beyond Good and Evil 2 'Still Several Years Away'
I really can't see this ever coming out unfortunately. It doesn't help that it looks like it has absolutely zero to do with the first game either.
Re: Kena: Bridge of Spirits Patch 1.11 Is All About Hats and Bug Fixes
I've been waiting for the physical version so it's a shame some of these bonuses are time limited.
Re: Still No Release Date on Great Looking Little Devil Inside for PS5
It looks intriguing but I have absolutely no idea what the gameplay involves.
Re: GTA Online Weekly Update: 30th September, 2021
Instead of updating this every week could you perhaps give coverage to an indie game or game you wouldn't otherwise cover? GTAV does not need more promotion.
Re: Rumour: Konami Planning Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, Castlevania Revivals
This all feels a bit too good to be true and like a fan dream... we can hope!
Re: Mini Review: Nexomon (PS5) - A Cheap and Mostly Cheerful Pokémon Clone
@RubyCarbuncle The sequel was released on consoles last year.

Re: Final Fantasy IX Animated TV Show Announced
This sounds like something that will never see the light of day due to "creative issues".
Re: Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania Targets PS5, PS4
That is some ugly boxart.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart the Next Insomniac Game to Take Top Spot
@Kidfried I'm not sure there's any need to call articles on the charts click bait and question journalistic integrity. Nobody is forcing you to click and it clearly states they're physical only. Data is limited on UK (and US) sales charts so I'll take what we can get.
