Game of the Year #1 - The Last of Us: Part II
Naughty Gods
Throughout the entirety of the PlayStation 4 generation, there was one consistency that propelled the console to rising head and shoulders above its competition.

Independent marvels
The PlayStation 4 saw out its final year with some seriously heavy hitters from first-party studios, and then Sony's PlayStation 5 kickstarted a new generation with another batch of massive titles.

Game of the Year #2 - Final Fantasy VII Remake
Hello, Cloud
Yep, it finally happened: 2020 was the year that we actually got a remake of Final Fantasy VII. Well, part of one, at least.

Game of the Year Best PS5, PS4 Story of 2020
More than a Telltale
For some, gameplay is the main tell of a quality video game. For others, story is king. A great narrative can be what pushes you through an otherwise dreary set of mechanics and systems, with the prospect of another plot twist on the horizon just enough to keep you going. And the best thing is that those very stories are only...

Here are the patch notes
Update 17/12/20: This patch for DIRT 5 is now available for download on PS5 and PS4. Time to hop back into the driver's seat! Original Story: For as much as we enjoy DIRT 5, it didn't launch in the best state. It's no Cyberpunk 2077, but the off-road racer arrived with some visual issues, Trophies not unlocking, and some...
News Cyber Shadow Brings Pixelated Ninja Action to PS5, PS4 in January 2021
Cyberpunk shinobi
We've been quietly looking forward to Cyber Shadow, a side-scrolling action platformer published by Yacht Club Games. Set in a cyberpunk dystopia, you play as a ninja rescuing your clan and Mekacity from synthetic baddies. Putting us in mind of games like Ninja Gaiden and, more recently, The Messenger, this looks to be a top notch...
News Humanity Has Been Delayed to 2021
Sounds about right
As unexpected as it was, Enhance Games delighted the world with the transcendent Tetris Effect. Its next game, Humanity, was another surprise, and frankly, we still don't even really know what it's all about. The obscure title was announced over a year ago, and things have gone very quiet ever since. However, the team is still...
News Ubisoft Shoves XP Boosting Microtransaction into Assassin's Creed Valhalla a Month After Launch
Predictable!
Ubisoft got blasted for putting a "time-saving" experience point booster into Assassin's Creed Odyssey — a booster that you could purchase with real money. However, the microtransaction didn't make it into the sequel, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, when the game launched on PS5 and PS4 last month. Some saw this as cause for celebration...
News Dr Dre Makes a Cameo in GTA Online, In Case You Wondered
Beats it
Dr Dre can add GTA Online character to his resume right next to rapper and professional headphone flogger, as the global superstar makes an appearance as part of the recently released Cayo Perico Heist. If you’re planning to play the multiplayer mode – and you can find out how to get started through here – then do keep in mind that...
News Fans Wonder if PS4 Pro Has Been Discontinued
End of the line
Has Sony discontinued its super-charged last-gen console, the PS4 Pro? That’s what fans are pondering, after an update to its official US-based storefront PlayStation Direct included a note next to the out of stock system stating “there are currently no plans to restock this item in the future”. Ahead of the holidays, the PS4...
Review When the Past Was Around - A Loving Embrace in Game Form
Feed the birds
A gorgeous point-and-click hidden object title, When the Past Was Around packs a lot of emotional engagement into a reasonably small package. You witness a collection of memories – some happy, some not – being revisited by the main character, Eda. Despite the sombre moments being expressed in the title, the game is able to convey...
News Cyberpunk 2077's Multiplayer and DLC Not the Focus, As CDPR Preps Rescue Mission
"We're in a situation which wasn't planned"
Prior to Cyberpunk 2077 launching and subsequently crashing and burning, CD Projekt RED was talking a big game about free DLC drops and even an upcoming multiplayer mode. Of course, now the Polish studio is going to have to helm a rescue mission, as it tries to get the title into a playable state on a...
News Extreme Off-Road Sim SnowRunner Brings Mods to PS4
ModRunner
We rather like SnowRunner here at Push Square Towers, so this news comes as a pleasant surprise. Developer Saber Interactive has now added mod support to the harsh off-roading simulator on PlayStation 4, meaning a crazy new world of possibilities has opened up. As you can see in the above trailer, you'll be able to access all kinds of...
News Cost of Fixing Cyberpunk 2077 Irrelevant, Says CD Projekt RED
"We made our promise to gamers"
CD Projekt RED, an unrivalled industry darling up until about a week ago, has its entire reputation on the line right now. Cyberpunk 2077 is an excellent game, but it’s launched in a dismal state – and is practically unplayable on a bog-standard PlayStation 4. As part of a conference call, the firm said earlier...
News Trophy Hunters Rejoice! Ratalaika Has Arrived on PS5
May the Platinums pop aplenty
Trophy hunters will already be familiar with the work of Ratalaika Games, no doubt. The port house has built a pretty compelling business model out of converting small indie titles to Sony’s platforms and populating them with relatively easy Platinum Trophies. While not every single one of its published titles is...

News Capcom Shares Three New Resident Evil Village Screenshots
Facial hair galore
Random but welcome nonetheless: Capcom has revealed three new Resident Evil Village screenshots via IGN. One features the werewolf-like enemy spotted in previous trailers for the PlayStation 5 title, another is what looks like a shot of a ruined castle, and the most interesting one includes a new enemy. Wielding some sort of...
News Cyberpunk 2077 Aiming to Be a 'Playable, Stable Game without Glitches and Crashes'
CDPR admits it didn't spend enough time looking at PS4 performance
Whether you’re enjoying Cyberpunk 2077 or not, there’s no question the role-playing game’s launch could have gone better. While the title’s reasonably playable on next-gen consoles like the PlayStation 5, it’s sub-par on a PS4 Pro and borderline unplayable on a standard...
News Tales of Arise Returns in 2021, Development Reportedly Going Well
Arise, Arise
It sure has been a while since we heard anything official about Tales of Arise. The next instalment in Bandai Namco's long running RPG series was announced over a year ago at E3 2019, and it's basically been missing in action ever since. In fact, Tales of Arise was actually 'delayed' earlier this year, despite never having a specific...
News CD Projekt RED Tries to Distance Itself from Cyberpunk 2077 Refund Mess
No special arrangement in place
Can you get a refund for Cyberpunk 2077 on PlayStation platforms? Can you do so easily without a Sony representative trying to block your efforts? We still don't really know and CD Projekt RED certainly isn't helping the situation. In a conference call just hours ago, board member Michał Nowakowski said the studio...

Reaction Cyberpunk 2077 Debacle Proves Sony Needs a Better PS Store Refund Policy
Inconsistency causing confusion
The debacle surrounding Cyberpunk 2077 has, not for the first time, highlighted a gaping flaw in the PlayStation Store. We’ve talked about refunds before – amusingly, when No Man’s Sky was underfire for failing to deliver on its promises – but another anticipated title has fallen short of expectations, and so...

News The Hitman 3 Opening Cinematic Is as Slick as Agent 47's Bald Head
The Shiny Show
There's nothing particularly exciting about this new Hitman 3 opening cinematic so that headline is the best this scribe could come up with, alright? Agent 47 does have a pretty majestic bald head, however. Pretty iconic, in fact. But yes, developer IO Interactive is indeed back with another piece of marketing for the finale to its...
