Game of the Year 2017 John's Personal Picks
Fractured but whole
As is becoming an annual tradition here at Push Square Towers, we’ve corralled our core group of staff writers and prodded them until they’ve told us what their favourite five games of the year are. With such a strong assortment to select from, added force was required in some instances. We threatened to jot down John...
Game of the Year 2017 #2 - Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
Mega mix
What makes Uncharted: The Lost Legacy so special is the fact that Nathan Drake is nowhere to be seen, and yet this final entry before the series goes into hiding manages to wrap a perfect bow around his adventures. Fan favourite Chloe Frazer returns alongside the fourth instalment’s newcomer Nadine Ross to create an excursion to India...

Time Crisis in VR
Playing through Mortal Blitz feels like going back in time, which is a strange feeling when you’re talking about a VR game – but it’s true. What we have here is effectively Time Crisis in virtual reality, which sounds like a match made in heaven and, we feel, is likely to be a fitting genre when implemented well. There’s...
Game of the Year 2017 #3 - Horizon: Zero Dawn
Thunderjaw dropping
It still seems crazy to think that the studio responsible for the Killzone series, a PlayStation mainstay for well over a decade, would make such a creative leap. From a dingy first-person shooter series of fluctuating quality to a vast, vibrant open world RPG, rarely do we see studios of Guerrilla’s size and reputation stray...

Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 200
Milestone edition
Wow! We’ve actually reached Issue 200 of WAYP, and we’ve still managed to maintain a flawless weekly record. That’s some feat because it means this feature has been running for roughly four years – in fact, it’s longer because the series started life as a bi-weekly article helmed by our very own Katy Ellis.

Feature The PS4 Games You Already Forgot Were Released in 2017
The forgettable experiences
Traditionally, the end of December is used as a time to reflect on the very best that this year has served up.

Game of the Year 2017 #4 - What Remains of Edith Finch
This old house
AAA games may have had a banner year, but there was a lot to love in the indie scene as well. Developer Giant Sparrow’s newest title, What Remains of Edith Finch, was the best of the bunch. The dev's first title since 2012’s incredible debut The Unfinished Swan, the title tells a terrific tale about a terrifically unlucky...

Soapbox NieR: Automata Has the Best Credits Sequence of 2017
Stay till the end
NieR: Automata is bursting with bonkers moments, so it’s only fitting that it should bring out a wrecking ball for its finale. After three full playthroughs of its campaign (each revealing different endings and routes to its finish line) the title decides that enough is enough – and instead of simply breaking the fourth-wall,...
Game of the Year 2017 #5 - Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
Trump card
Considering B.J. Blazkowicz started his video game life as a gurning character portrait at the bottom of your screen, his transformation into a nuanced, relatable character – which continues at full pace in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus – is symbolic of much of what made this title one of 2017’s best. Deftly...

Sony has enjoyed a decent run over the last few weeks in Japan, with the holiday season pushing sales of both the PlayStation 4 and the PS4 Pro.

Oodibigah
Remember when people questioned whether Crash Bandicoot could possibly be relevant in 2017? Well, the orange furred fave has done okay for himself this Christmas, with the N. Sane Trilogy climbing up the UK sales charts into sixth position over the holidays. This is a muted British best sellers list due to the lack of new releases, but...
Game of the Year 2017 #6 - Resident Evil 7
The cure
Every time Capcom took a step forward, it made two steps backward over the past decade with its flagship horror franchise. Resident Evil 5 demonstrated a questionable turn toward action, but Resident Evil: Revelations steered back on course with its eerie, claustrophobic setting. The disastrous, confused sixth entry ruined this by capsizing...

Game of the Year 2017 #7 - Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
The voices
Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is dark, poignant, and utterly essential. It’s the only game in our 2017 countdown capable of having long-lasting effects on real lives, and for that alone it deserves its position in our list. But the Celtic adventure is so much more than an exploration into the symptoms of psychosis – it’s also an...

Game of the Year 2017 #9 - Night in the Woods
Mae it be
There's something profoundly gentle about Night in the Woods. That feels like a weird thing to say about a video game which is, among other things, about the destructive power of mental illness, but it's true. It stands as a good companion piece to another of 2017's great games, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. But where that game is...

Game of the Year 2017 #10 - Tekken 7
King of the iron fist
Tekken hasn't been this good in a long time. In terms of pure gameplay depth and spectacle, Tekken 7 is right up there with the best fighting games on the market. It's satisfying, rewarding, and incredibly well balanced. That last point stems from the fact that it was available in Japanese and Korean arcades for ages before it...

Star crossed
Considering that Life Is Strange: Before the Storm's final instalment is all about the consequences lies can have on our lives, we'll be honest from the outset: Hell Is Empty is awkwardly paced.

Souls mate
We’re not sure what to think about Code Vein just yet. None of the gameplay footage that’s been shown so far has looked great, and that continues to be true with the title’s third trailer. Many will be drawn in by the anime aesthetic, of course, but it all just seems a bit edgy to us – and it’s not helped by the Saliva-inspired...

Gum fun
The first trailer for One Piece: World Seeker is here, and to be totally honest, it still doesn't tell us all that much about the game. We see a bit of protagonist Luffy legging it about, and then we see him smack a few enemies. It certainly looks open world, as promised, but we're wondering why the scenery has a realistic quality to it --...

Review Final Fantasy XV: Episode Ignis (PS4)
Knife to see you
Square Enix saved the best party member episode for last with Final Fantasy XV: Episode Ignis.
