  Japanese Sales Charts PS4 Steady in Uneventful Week

  Summer fever

  There’s not much going on in Japan at the moment, as evidenced by Record of Grancrest War being the best-selling new release of the week. The title moved just 11,871 units. It means that evergreen seller Splatoon 2 was able to secure the top spot with just 15k units added to its already substantial tally. Elsewhere, the PlayStation 4...

  News Fallout 76's Beta Will Brave the PS4 After the Xbox One

  Staying in the Vault

  Even the most optimistic among you will probably expect Fallout 76 to launch in a less than desirable state when it arrives on 14th November, so it’s probably not worth panicking over the title’s beta being delayed on the PlayStation 4. This seems like it’s down to some sort of marketing arrangement, as PC players will...

  Feature Our Favourite @KazHiraiCEO Tweets

  "Goodbye consumers of digital entertainment"

  Like many of you, we here at Push Square Towers are deeply saddened by the end of one of the best satirical Twitter accounts, @KazHiraiCEO. Posing as the then-CEO of Sony, the account would post hilarious, witty, and at times biting commentary about the games industry, and it'll be sorely missed. It...

  News The Spectrum Retreat Looks Like a Creepy First Person Puzzler on PS4

  Coming next month

  Now E3 is done and dusted, Sony is back to its old habits of announcing little-known games coming to PS4. This time, the PlayStation Blog is highlighting The Spectrum Retreat, a first person puzzle game that's been in development for five years. It looks quite eerie in the above trailer. Your character is staying at The Penrose...

  Sony's Days of Play promotion ended yesterday, and it's promptly replaced it with a couple of new offers that discount both contemporary and retro titles.

  Rumour Was Red Dead Redemption 2 at E3 2018 After All?

  Behind saloon doors

  Many were left disappointed at the lack of Red Dead Redemption 2 at this year's E3. Rockstar isn't normally in the habit of attending the Los Angeles event, so it's typical we didn't see anything new during the show. However, one or two reports are coming out that the open world Western was, in fact, present, and not only that,...

  Soapbox Games Are Allowing Players to Be More Expressive, And It's Ace

  You're in control

  What was the story of E3 2018 apart from cross-play and an abundance of amazing late-generation games? For me, it was player choice. This is nothing new, of course – the promise that you can “play your own way” has been a buzzword espoused by developers for eons, and it was a particularly prevalent selling-point in last...

  News Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise PS4 Gameplay Looks Like Yakuza in All But Name

  That's rad

  The announcement that Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise is making its way to Western shores later this year was somewhat overshadowed by other E3 news, but it's a big win for fans nonetheless. It's being developed by Yakuza Studio, the team responsible for, you guessed it, the Yakuza series, and this new gameplay footage looks very...

  News Warriors Orochi 4 Thinks 16th October Is a Good Release Date

  Who are we to argue?

  Koei Tecmo probably expects Warriors Orochi 4 to reach its target audience whenever it releases, but 16th October in North America and 19th October in Europe doesn’t necessarily seem like the best slot. That’s within days of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Battlefield V, and Red Dead Redemption 2. No doubt we’ll be able to...

  News Déraciné Harks Back to FromSoftware's Adventure Game Roots on PSVR

  Miyazaki explains

  Déraciné got a bit of a rough deal at E3 2018. This PlayStation VR exclusive developed by FromSoftware was announced just after Sony's main press conference was over, and what could otherwise have been an interesting and memorable reveal was somewhat overshadowed. However, a new post on the PlayStation Blog delves into some...

  Review The Lost Child

  Put the kids to bed

  The first twenty minutes or so of The Lost Child set up an intriguing mystery, but once the game settles into a comfortable rhythm things become decidedly less compelling, and at times, an outright slog. The game begins in a Tokyo subway station with an investigative journalist who specialises in the occult named Hayato looking...

  Back of the net

  When the BBC announced that it would be broadcasting the World Cup in virtual reality this year, we expected a novelty experience akin to PlayStation VR’s Cinematic Mode, where you’re placed inside a swish interactive environment with the game playing on a television screen larger than the one in Cristiano Ronaldo’s guest room...

  UK Sales Charts God of War Returns to the Top Amid Days of Play Promotion

  The highest peak in all the realms

  It's a day late, but this return to the No.1 spot on the UK charts is a great Father's Day gift for the Ghost of Sparta. God of War is back on top after a few weeks lower down the top 10, largely due to Sony's Days of Play sale which saw discounts on Santa Monica Studio's latest and greatest. The sale also bumped...

  The aftermath

  We may be in the midst of the E3 2018 hangover, but the European PlayStation Store sleeps for no one. There’s a lot of content this week – even if it is of a lower profile. Perhaps most noteworthy is The Crew 2’s open beta, but there are a handful of PlayStation VR titles worth paying attention to as well.  PS4 Games:...

  Review Illusion: A Tale of the Mind

  Lobotomy

  Some games, no matter how much work the devs put into them, just never come together. While some elements could be great, the overall experience just doesn’t click in any meaningful way. Illusion: A Tale of the Mind, from Canadian dev Frima, is a title that suffers from this. While its virtual reality title Fated: The Silent Oath is one...

  Remember Never Alone, that little game about Native Alaskan folklore from a few years ago? The team behind the snowy puzzle platformer has returned, and its latest game swaps the tundra for the seas in Beyond Blue. It looks a little like a more realistic ABZÛ, but the truth is that this game is a fair amount more involved than that. You...
