  • Review Death's Gambit (PS4)

    If at first you don’t succeed

    At Death’s Gambit's main menu, we oversee the aftermath of chaos. "What could possibly have happened here?" we think to ourselves as the music swells. It provides a subtle hint of the events that unfurl, as your character, Sorun, suddenly gets dragged across the muddy terrain after a battle. Despite its gorgeously...

  • E3 2018 Check Out This Stunning Kingdom Hearts III PS4 Pro

    Look but don't touch

  • E3 2018 RAGE 2's Extended Gameplay Feature Packs a Punch

    Rock on

    We were treated to a first look at Rage 2's extended gameplay trailer at Bethesda's E3 conference this evening, and just as expected, it's bringing all the fun, fire, and fury, with maybe just a little more crazy. Developers Avalanche Studios took to the stage to reveal the trailer, right after a energetic performance by...

  • Review Shape of the World (PS4)

    A world of pure imagination

    Vancouver-based developer Hollow Tree Games has come a long way since its first Kickstarter for Shape of the World in 2015. It's exciting that new IPs such as this can be realised with the right practice, and the studio's hard work over the past three or so years has largely paid off. Shape of the World is a delightfully...

  • Review Killing Floor: Incursion (PS4)

    Locked n' loaded

    It’s been just over ten years since the first retail instalment of Killing Floor made its debut, and over this duration, it’s received fairly positive reviews amongst its fanbase. Killing Floor: Incursion is the third instalment to this franchise, and a first VR port for the Georgian-based studio, Tripwire Interactive. You step...

  • Soapbox A Love Letter to Video Game Developers and Artists

    Gabriella puts forward her argument for games as art

    I’m an hour into replaying Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, a game that captivated me in 2017. I meander through the streets, enthralled by its ridiculous attention to detail and bask in its marvellous colours. I put my controller down for a minute, and I’m suddenly struck by the realisation...

  • Review The Raven Remastered (PS4)

    Leave no stone unturned

    Mystery awaits in THQ Nordic’s latest rework of its 2013 game The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief. The Remastered edition comes bundled with just the right amount of puzzle solving, wit, and charm as its counterpart, with some reworked animations as well as improvements to shading and lighting. It's an often slow-paced...

    Fight the system

    In a city governed by a totalitarian state, you play as Carl, one of the government's trusted members who, together with his wife and two children, relocate to a new tenancy.

  • Game of the Year 2017 Gabriella's Personal Picks

    The lost legacy

    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 told Gabriella she wouldn't be...

  • Soapbox Video Game Delays Are Important

    Gabriella urges patience

    When your most anticipated game is delayed, it can be a painful pill to swallow. Admittedly, I’ve had my fair share of these instances in the past. An example of this came in 2013, when Sony made the bold decision to delay a game I had been looking forward to playing since its announcement back in 2011: Naughty Dog's...

  • Feature Detroit: Become Human Is Quantic Dream's Biggest Ever Game

    Sony XDev talks ambition and development

  • Review Planet of the Eyes (PS4)

    A road less travelled

    Buried beneath the mishmash of platformers new and old comes the emergence of Planet of the Eyes – a funky puzzle platformer originally released for PC and Mac back in 2015. Though not much has changed throughout its transition to the PlayStation 4, it does feel like a welcome one. Guided by the wisdom of one man’s...
