News Fortnite's Finale Shows Service Games At Their Best
The end of the world as we know it
Frustratingly, no one at Push Square plays cultural phenomenon Fortnite, so this article is running about 12 hours late.

News Death Stranding's File Size Will Eat Up a Fair Amount of Room on Your PS4
As expected
File size is something people are becoming increasingly concerned with, as modern games take up more and more precious storage space on our consoles. Red Dead Redemption 2 famously eats up more or less 100GB of space just on its own, and some other AAA games are trending that way too. What about Death Stranding, then? How much room will...

Major expansions and smaller DLC
Developer CD Projekt Red has already promised that Cyberpunk 2077 will be a "whole, full value game" at launch, but following its phenomenal support of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt after the game released, we can't help but wonder what we'll get to experience after the base game has shipped.

News Death Stranding PS4 Pre-Orders in the UK Can Get a Cool Alternative Cover
Higgs variant available now
We kinda like the standard Death Stranding box art, but a fair amount of fans have made it clear it's not what they want. The strange PlayStation 4 game from Kojima Productions is looking utterly bizarre, but by comparison, the key artwork adorning the box is pretty tame. However, did you know that there's an alternate...
Review Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince - Gorgeous Puzzle Platformer Is a Return to Form
Saving the kingdom, one floating box at a time
The first two games in Frozenbyte’s Trine series were whimsical 2D puzzle platformers. A third title, Artifacts of Power, switched to 3D and offered a shorter adventure that left some fans cold. Trine 4 throws away that extra dimension, and feels much more like the series at its best. Returning...

Partnership reaffirmed for new project
The Hitman franchise has swapped hands a bit over the years.

Review Habroxia - A No-Frills Arcade Shmup on PS4
Don’t forget your quarters
The arcade style shmup’s been around for a long time now. Space Invaders is nearly 50 years old, and Galaga isn’t far behind.

News Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Finally Has Skill-Based Online Matchmaking
Restart your engines
We enjoy a good game of Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, but it's been sorely missing skill-based matchmaking since it launched back in the summer. If you've hopped online at all over the last few months, you'll no doubt have noticed that races can be incredibly unbalanced, with some players crossing the finish line before others...
And it's going to make you cry
Look, we all know that Death Stranding's story is going to be bonkers. And we all know it's going to be stuffed with elaborate cutscenes where weird characters do weird things and talk at length about concepts that you barely understand.

News Death Stranding's Main Character Will Act Like Norman Reedus to Make Him More Relatable
Two-faced
In Death Stranding, you'll play as Sam Porter Bridges as you deliver goods across a ruined world.

Random Days Gone's Trophies Are Scripted to Capture Important Story Moments
Morior Invictus
The PlayStation 4 captures a screenshot that corresponds with every single Trophy you earn, and the vast majority of the time, those images are completely throwaway. A random image of a menu, a weapon aimed down sights, a non-descript cutscene - you know the drill. However, it turns out PS4 exclusive Days Gone actually scripted those...
