News Nioh 2 Tests Your Might with an Open Beta This November
1-10 November
Nioh 2 is quietly creeping up on us with a confirmed release window of early 2020. It'll have to go up against heavy hitters such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Final Fantasy VII Remake, but we reckon the follow-up to Team Ninja's 2017 samurai success can calve out its own audience. And to make that wait a little bit easier, an ope
News New Tales of Arise Trailer Gives a Glimpse of Combo-Based Combat
Fire
Tales of Arise caught our attention with its announcement trailer at E3 2019 -- it immediately looked like a step forward for Bandai Namco's long running role-playing series, and the good news is that it continues to look promising. The game's received a fresh trailer at Tokyo Game Show 2019, and although it's not the most in-depth video, it...

Hands On How Does Borderlands 3 Run on PS4 Pro?
Performance vs Resolution
If you came across a review of Borderlands 3 prior to launch, it was most certainly done on the PC. The console version of the game has been shrouded in secrecy as developer Gearbox Software focuses on showing off the experience in the best light possible. Now that release day is here, however, we've got our hands on the...
News Is Control Any Better on PS4 After Patch 1.03?
Have the performance problems been resolved?
We rather like Control here at Push Square Towers, but it's hard to ignore the game's technical shortcomings. It generally looks great and plays well, but things have been slowing to a crawl whenever combat gets a little too heated. The frame rate drops to single figures at times, the map has struggled to...
News Incoming No Man's Sky PS4 Patch Will Improve Image Quality in PSVR Mode
Beyond blur
No Man's Sky's Beyond update has rejuvenated the colourful space exploration title, acting as a sort of re-launch.

Square Enix announced at a TGS 2019 panel that alongside the standard battle system, a Classic Mode would be available for players who prefer the menu-based...

Announcement trailer hides a clue
People really, really want a remake of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, don't they? We mean, we most certainly do too off the back of the success of the Resident Evil 2 remake, but this story is just a little bit too ridiculous. Forum chatter on the popular ResetEra suggests that the recently announced

Only a few days to go
A couple of weeks ago, developer The Behemoth told us roughly when to expect Castle Crashers Remastered on PlayStation 4.

Review Headspun - A Buggy FMV Adventure with a Decent Story and Little Else
Inside nout
The brain is a complex thing; vast, mysterious, and packed full of drones in ties controlling our thoughts. Or, so says Headspun, a disappointing FMV/management hybrid that has you rebuilding the functions of a man’s mind following an accident. It’s a neat concept, but one marred by glitches, outdated mini-games, and irritatingly...

Monstrous
It's safe to say that Capcom has struck gold with Monster Hunter World.

Capcom reports that Monster Hunter World:...

News Lose Yourself in Shenmue 3's Living, Breathing World
Village people
The reason Shenmue means so much to so many people is because it was one of the first titles to truly transport players to a different place.

Will you uncover?
We're always down for a weird adventure here at Push Square Towers, and it looks like The Bradwell Conspiracy will do us nicely.

It's a stark contrast from the developer's previous...
News Monsters and Drama Mix in Mutazione, Coming to PS4 Next Week
New trailer released
Mutazione caught us off-guard when it was announced earlier in the year.

It sounds odd on paper, but it looks like an intriguing, and certainly different, adventure game. We're definitely looking...

“We. Don’t. Do. Fetch. Quests!”
Nobody likes them, do they?

Luckily,...
Review Blasphemous - An Unholy and Triumphant Metroidvania
King of the castle
Perhaps ‘Dark Souls-vania’ is a bit of an overstatement, but there’s no denying the plethora of influences, both modern and contemporary, in this gorgeously sacrilegious metroidvania. Blasphemous is dripping in grim atmosphere and stuffed full of macabre religious iconography, bloody combat, and enough lore to fill the Old...

Raining Platinums
Alright, hands up, we're cheating a little bit here. A list of trinkets for Borderlands 3 has popped up on Exophase, but they're for the Xbox One version of the game. We're sorry, but there is never a single difference between an achievement list and the PlayStation 4 counterpart, so we're taking this as official. Nevertheless, it...

Another monster hit for Capcom
Monster Hunter World: Iceborne has got off to a great start in Japan. The expansion managed to sell 250,000 units at launch -- a number that, at first glance, doesn't seem hugely impressive. However, it must be noted that this total counts for physical sales alone. Given that you need Monster Hunter World to even play...

Review Metro Exodus: The Two Colonels - Satisfactory Action Down Under
Sound of the underground
After pitching itself as the series' big, breakout, open-world moment, it's almost comical that the first piece of downloadable content for Metro: Exodus immediately returns to what it was originally known for. The Two Colonels is a short, linear, claustrophobic experience that's not much more than serviceable in any...
