Game of the Year #8 - Knockout City
Ballin'
This will probably wind up being a contentious inclusion in our Game of the Year countdown, but it really shouldn't. Knockout City is an online-only multiplayer game with broad appeal, fuelled by frequent post-launch updates and battle pass-style progression. While many will condemn it for those reasons, we strongly believe that this title...
Game of the Year Best PS5, PS4 Indie Game of 2021
Treasure trove
Every year sees the release of hundreds of indie games on PlayStation 5 and PS4, but there are always some true standouts. Of course, 2021 has been no different, with many excellent smaller titles hitting both consoles. The below are our picks for the best indie games of the year, with the Push Square editorial team selecting their...
Game of the Year #9 - Disco Elysium: The Final Cut
Case closed
Disco Elysium: The Final Cut isn't for everyone. Its unapologetically mature storytelling and methodical pacing can make it a tough nut to crack, but with a bit of patience and willingness to let yourself get lost in its dilapidated world, you'll find a gripping RPG. Playing as a middle aged detective who's suffering from a severe case...
Game of the Year #10 - Guilty Gear Strive
Blame the beasts
Games that push an entire genre forward are a rarity, but that's what Guilty Gear Strive has done for fighting games. It may not be as mainstream as Street Fighter, Tekken, or Mortal Kombat, but in its visuals and its online netcode, Strive has set the bar for all future brawlers. Developer Arc System Works has been hitting home...
Poll What Is Your PS5, PS4 Game of the Year 2021?
Vote now
It's time once again for our Game of the Year celebration. As has become tradition here at Push Square, we're filling out the holidays with a range of content that covers the best PlayStation games of the last 12 months — and it all starts with our community Game of the Year poll. It's simple, really. All you have to do is look at the...
Poll Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for December 2021?
Plus or minus?
Given that December's PlayStation Plus lineup was leaked more than a week before the official announcement, we had assumed that there wouldn't be much drama surrounding the selection. But boy oh boy, we couldn't have been more wrong. In fact, this has turned out to be one of the most controversial PS Plus updates of 2021. In case you...
Poll Did You Buy Battlefield 2042?
Out here in the Battlefield
'Tis the season for first-person shooters, and EA's back with another Battlefield this year. Battlefield 2042 has divided opinion during its pre-launch phase, both with critics and consumers. There's a general sense that 2042 has been rushed to market, but EA and developer DICE have promised long-term support. The game's...
Poll What Game Will Win at The Game Awards 2021?
Cast your vote
You've seen the (questionable) nominations for The Game Awards 2021, and with the show now just a few weeks away, what game do you think will win the coveted Game of the Year prize on 8th December 2021? This is a year without an obvious winner as the quality of titles released has been fairly consistent, but without a clear standout,...
Here we go again
It's being torn to shreds on Metacritic and its unbelievable bugs have already spawned countless internet memes, but we have no doubt that GTA Trilogy will pull some serious sales numbers. Whether the game deserves commercial success if obviously up for debate (the developer has at least
Poll Did You Buy Skyrim Anniversary Edition?
Good to see you, traveller
Look, you're probably sick of reading about Skyrim Anniversary Edition, and frankly, we're a bit sick of writing about it. But come on, we do these 'did you buy' polls for every big release — and it doesn't get much bigger than a new version of Skyrim! Anniversary Edition arrives ten whole years after Skyrim's original...
Poll What's Your Favourite PS5 Game So Far?
Share your top three
Today marks the first anniversary of PlayStation 5 following the hardware's US launch on 12th November 2020, and a lot of games have come out during that time. Things got off to a flying start with a very strong launch lineup, and Sony has persisted by keeping owners engaged with a variety of exclusive titles throughout 2021...
Poll 10 Years Later, What Are Your Thoughts on Skyrim?
Dragonborn for this
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is officially ten years old. How time flies, eh? The open world role-playing game first released for the PlayStation 3 on the 11th November, 2011 — and boy was it a mess. Skyrim ran extremely poorly on Sony's old console — even after it had received a boatload of updates — but its poor technical...
Poll Rate Your Favourite PS3 Games
Help determine Push Square's best PS3 games list
Alright everyone, we need your help. In a move that we haven't at all stolen from our dearest friends over at Nintendo Life, we've decided to rank the best PlayStation 3 games. With Sony's last-last-gen console having its 15th anniversary on the 17th November (in North America, at least!), this seems...
Poll Did You Buy Call of Duty: Vanguard?
On the front lines
Another year, another Call of Duty — but the juggernaut franchise is in a slightly strange spot these days. Alongside its annual releases, Call of Duty now exists as a permanent and ever-growing gaming fixture thanks to Warzone and its immensely popular battle royale gameplay. We're left wondering where games like the newly...
Poll Last Chance to Rate the Best GTA Games on PlayStation
The big score
GTA, or Grand Theft Auto, is arguably the biggest brand in gaming, rivalling juggernauts like Super Mario and Call of Duty. Originally created for the PlayStation and PC in 1997 by Scottish developer DMA Design – which would go on to rebrand itself as Rockstar North – the series has shipped more than 350 million units over the...
Poll Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for November 2021?
Plus or minus?
Last weekend came and went without a PlayStation Plus leak, and for the fist time in five months, we thought that Sony had finally managed to keep a secret. It was all looking good until Wednesday morning, when a belated leak made its way online — and guess what? It was, once again, 100 per cent correct. The party was spoiled,...
Poll Did You Buy Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy?
Getting the gang together
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is out now on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. The licensed action game is Square Enix's second attempt at adapting a beloved Marvel property, but unlike the ill-fated Marvel's Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy has been very well received right off the bat. "For as much uncertainty there...
Poll Your Last Chance to Vote for the Best Assassin's Creed Game on PlayStation
Live by the hidden blade
What's the best Assassin's Creed game? This is a question that we refuse to answer alone, and so we're going to enlist your help to create an official Push Square list, ranking every mainline Assassin's Creed title on PlayStation platforms. All you need to do is head into the ratings system below and give a review score to...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Deathloop?
Breaking the loop
It's been a whole month since the release of Deathloop on PlayStation 5. Dishonored developer Arkane's newest non-linear excursion was a hit with critics, attracting high review scores across the board. We gave it a very respectable 8/10 in our Deathloop PS5 review, in which we concluded: "Few games have the confidence and swagger...
Back behind the wheel
The latest entry in Ubisoft's first-person chaos simulation series is out now on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. Far Cry 6 has released to mostly positive critic reviews, and it's already proving popular on content-sharing sites like YouTube and Twitch. It's reasonably safe to assume that the French publisher has another hit...
Poll Your Last Chance to Vote For the Best Final Fantasy Game on PlayStation
The Final Fantasy
What's the best Final Fantasy game to ever grace a PlayStation console? This is the (rather demanding) question that we want you to answer. Below, you'll find a list of Final Fantasy games, both mainline and spinoff. We need you to rate the games that you've played, and these ratings will feed into a Final Fantasy ranking article...
Poll Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for October 2021?
Plus or minus?
Do you remember a time when the monthly PS Plus games weren't leaked days in advance of the official reveal? The subscription service's offerings have been accurately outed five months in a row, with October's selection being correctly called last weekend. When will it end? To recap, October's lineup includes Hell Let Loose (PS5),...
Poll Did You Buy Kena: Bridge of Spirits?
D'ya Kena?
Kena: Bridge of Spirits first caught all of our eyes at Sony's PlayStation 5 reveal event. Developer Ember Lab's biggest ever project, it's an incredibly pretty platforming adventure, with some surprisingly intense combat thrown in for good measure. Given that it was initially a title meant to help sell the PS5, we imagine that a lot of...
Poll Did You Buy Lost Judgment?
Lost and found
The anticipated sequel to the excellent Judgment is here, and would you believe that it's actually pretty good? It's almost as though developer RGG Studio can do no wrong, but we must admit that we're beginning to burn out on Yakuza-style games. It's easy to forget that we've already had the PS5 versions of both the aforementioned...
Poll Did You Buy Death Stranding Director's Cut?
BB's back
It's been roughly two years since the release of the original Death Stranding, and Hideo Kojima's mad game about dead sea creatures and all that is still startlingly unique. In fact, the only game like Death Stranding is Death Stranding Director's Cut — the newly launched PlayStation 5 re-release that includes additional content, like...
Poll Do You Want Even More PS5 Marvel Games from Sony?
Superhero domination
In the space of just a few years, Sony has managed to make its PlayStation consoles the destination for titles based on Marvel properties. Sure, Marvel's Avengers and the upcoming Marvel's Midnight Suns and Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy are all multi-platform, but if you want to play everything the company currently has in...
The loop is finally broken
Deathloop is finally here, and you know what that means. Yep, we'll never have to sit through another Deathloop trailer during a PlayStation event! Cause for celebration, to be sure. Okay, snark aside, seeing Deathloop appear at what felt like every showcase over the last year or so seemed like overkill — to the point...
Poll Did You Buy Tales of Arise?
A new Tale to tell
Tales of Arise is here, and we think it's very, very good. The Japanese role-playing game went above and beyond our expectations, and we awarded it a 9/10 in our Tales of Arise PS5 review. Safe to say we recommend it, but as is always the case with a big release, we want to know whether you've actually bought a copy. Going by the...
Poll Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for September 2021?
Plus or minus
September's PlayStation Plus games have been made official, and we've had longer than usual to gather our thoughts on this month's lineup. Indeed, the selection was correctly leaked days before the big announcement. It split opinion then, but what about now? That's what we're here to find out. To recap, the PS Plus games for September...
Poll What Do You Think of the New Saints Row?
Saints assemble
One of the biggest stories of the past week has involved Saints Row. The sandbox series is returning in February next year, with a brand new game having been announced at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2021. This thing's a full reboot: different characters, a new setting, and no obvious ties to the old Saints Row games. It's a fresh...
Poll Did You Buy Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut?
Iki Island awaits
Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut is out right now on both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 — but are you joining Jin Sakai on his new adventure? In case you don't know, Director's Cut includes the Iki Island expansion, which, as stated in our Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut review, we absolutely love. It whisks our samurai hero...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for August 2021?
Plus or minus?
Another month, another PS Plus games reveal. August's lineup was actually leaked days before the official announcement, by none other than Sony itself. As such, it feels like people have had additional time to moan and groan about what is, in all fairness, a pretty dull month. Well, at first glance, anyway. So, just to recap,...
Poll Should Sony Do More PS5 Director's Cuts?
Like Death Stranding and Ghost of Tsushima
It's starting to look like 'Director's Cuts' could be a new product line for Sony — a way to re-release and revitalise interest in existing titles, seemingly going beyond what you'd get from a PlayStation 5 upgrade patch, or something similar. Death Stranding Director's Cut was the first to be announced,...
Poll Ghost of Tsushima Released One Year Ago Today - What Review Score Would You Give It Now?
Second chance
Ghost of Tsushima released for PlayStation 4 on the 17th July 2020, meaning that it's one year old today. The PS4 exclusive was extremely well received by both players and critics, and went on to be a commercial blockbuster for Sony. Developer Sucker Punch also did a great job of supporting the game once it was on the market, providing...
Poll Does Sony Need a Big PS5 Showcase This Summer?
Show and tell
We're almost halfway through July, and there's still no sign of Sony's long-rumoured, E3-esque summer showcase. To be fair, the company has never teased or alluded to any big event — it's just that we're now eight months removed from the PlayStation 5's release, and there's still no real roadmap. Speculation is often derived from...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for July 2021?
Plus or minus?
After not one, but two different leaks, the PlayStation Plus lineup for July 2021 was confirmed at the usual time earlier this week. It was the second leak that turned out to be legit, with A Plague Tale: Innocence on PS5 joined by Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and WWE 2K Battlegrounds on PS4. Right off the bat, we're going to point out...
Feature What Are Your Most Anticipated PS5, PS4 Games for the Rest of 2021?
A big six months coming up
Can you believe that we're halfway through 2021 already? It's crazy to think that the PlayStation 5 has been on the market for over seven months now, although we use that term loosely given that Sony's current-gen console is still so hard to find. In any case, we here at Push Square are largely in agreement that it's been...
Poll When Do You Expect the Next Major PS5 Livestream?
The future of gaming
Sony finds itself in the thrust of a post-E3 2021 slump, with the PlayStation Blog practically abandoned this past week – despite the organisation not even attending the event. Many fans are expecting a major update from the platform holder in the form of some kind of press conference or livestream imminently, but there’s...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart?
Another dimension
Gorgeous PlayStation 5 exclusive Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart has been available for a couple of weeks now, and so as always, were asking you lot for your opinions. Insomniac's action platformer did brilliantly with critics, making it one of the most highly rated titles of the PS5 generation so far — but assuming you've...
Poll What's Your Favourite PS5, PS4 Game of 2021 So Far?
The community decides
We're quickly closing in on the halfway point of 2021, so it's time to take stock of the year so far. It's been a strange six month stretch for PlayStation games, with quick bouts of multiple releases followed by droughts. And then the cycle repeats itself all over again. Still, we have been treated to some quality experiences...
Another E3 is over
Believe it or not, E3 2021 has come and gone, and it was... Well, we've already made our own thoughts pretty clear. As always, though, we want your opinion. Taking into account all of the PlayStation-related announcements and news, did you enjoy E3 2021? The general consensus online appears to be that E3 was a bit crap this year...
Poll What Was Your Favourite PS5, PS4 Game at E3 2021?
You decide
Well, that was that, then. The debate will rage on regarding E3’s ongoing relevancy, but while this was an unquestionably weak show from a PlayStation persuasion, we did still see a sturdy selection of upcoming PlayStation 5 and PS4 games. The question is: which was your favourite and why? We’re including announcements and trailers...
Feature E3 2021 Predictions Quiz - 20 Questions to Get You Hyped for E3
Can you beat E3?
2020 saw E3 disappear completely, breaking our impressive five-year streak of hosting an annual E3 community quiz here on Push Square. But in case you haven't heard, E3 is back for 2021 — and so is our quiz! We've got 20 yes or no questions lined up below, and we kindly ask you to help us predict E3 2021. Just for the record, E3...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Mass Effect Legendary Edition?
This is my favourite poll on the Citadel
After delivering our incredibly comprehensive PlayStation 4 review of Mass Effect Legendary Edition this past weekend, it's time to share your own thoughts on the vast collection. The game has been out for more than two weeks now, giving users lots of time to at least complete the first entry in the saga —...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for June 2021?
Plus or minus?
The PlayStation Plus games lineup for June 2021 has been announced, and we'd argue it's another solid month for subscribers. In case you missed it, PS Plus users get access to three titles — two of which are brand new releases. On PS5, there's co-op focused spy game Operation: Tango. It's flanked by the enjoyable Star Wars:...
Poll Are You Sold on Horizon Forbidden West?
Journey to the West
Horizon Forbidden West just got its big gameplay blowout thanks to the latest State of Play livestream, and honestly, we still can't quite believe how good it looks. Guerrilla Games is no stranger to top-quality graphical tech, but Forbidden West might just be the most visually impressive PlayStation title we've ever seen. But...
Poll Who's Your Favourite Mass Effect Legendary Edition Squadmate?
Everybody's here
With the release schedule slowing down a bit for the time being (don't worry, it gets a lot busier in June), we wanted to go with a fun Friday poll this week. In case you somehow didn't know, Mass Effect Legendary Edition is out right now, and we're thoroughly enjoying Commander Shepard's quest to stop the Reapers all over again...
Poll How Excited Are You for This Summer's Gaming Events?
Hype judgement
Yesterday saw the confirmation that Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest will return next month in a much-condensed version. The man behind many of gaming's biggest events will host a kick-off show on 10th June 2021 before handing it over to publishers who wish to do things on their own terms. Just two days after the digital event we've...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Resident Evil Village?
Bloody reunion
Resident Evil Village has been out for just over a week now, and as always, we want to hear your opinion. Capcom continues its first-person streak with its latest horror release, once again sticking players in the bloodied shoes of faceless protagonist Ethan Winters. This time around, Ethan's got to contend with all kinds of creatures...
Poll Did You Buy Mass Effect Legendary Edition?
Back to the future
After a whole console generation of waiting, Mass Effect Legendary Edition is finally here — a fully remastered and party reworked collection of all three games in BioWare's original sci-fi trilogy. What a time to be alive! Many an existing Mass Effect fan will no doubt have already had Legendary Edition pre-ordered, but we...
