Mini Review Headbangers Rhythm Royale (PS5) - Musical Party Game Is Frustrating and Fun
Let's get this bread
Glee Cheese Studio's Headbangers Rhythm Royale is the latest in a growing roster of battle royale party games. Heavily reminiscent of Fall Guys, the game sees floppy-headed pigeons duke it out in rhythm-based puzzles. Thirty competitors fight to earn the coveted title of master headbanger. You'll be familiar with the format by...
Review Blasphemous 2 (PS5) - A Marvellously Macabre Metroidvania
The bigger the better
Since Elden Ring secured its position as one of 2022's best games, Soulslikes have seen another huge spike in popularity, with a plethora of titles already released or in the pipeline for this year. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, Remnant 2, Lies of P, The Lords of the Fallen, Hollow Knight: Silksong, The Last Faith — the list goes...
Mini Review Moving Out 2 (PS5) - Chaotic Co-Op Capers in Safe But Solid Sequel
F.A.R.T.ing around
Moving Out 2 is your typical sequel — a bit bigger, a bit better, but ultimately quite familiar. Taking the act of moving belongings in and out of buildings and turning that into a chaotic co-op game, this is largely the same as the original Moving Out, but mixes things up in some fun ways. The gameplay is super approachable...
Mini Review Killer Frequency (PS5) - An Intriguing Call-in Murder Mystery
Radio is dead
Killer Frequency is an odd concoction that just about delivers on its unusual premise. Playing as Forrest Nash, a smooth-talking DJ on a small town's local radio station, you're in charge of a late night call-in show. On top of that, though, a serial killer is on the loose, and the tiny police department is in disarray. Somehow, it...
Mini Review Epic Chef (PS4) - Silly Culinary Life Sim Mostly Hits the Spot
Kitchen quest
Epic Chef mixes together varied ingredients to create something rather tasty. It's a story-based adventure game about a man named Zest moving to a new town and rising through the culinary ranks, but the gameplay isn't just about cooking. While you'll concoct numerous recipes using weird and wonderful ingredients, the game is as much a...
Mini Review Overcooked: All You Can Eat - Remastered Culinary Co-Op Is Still a Tasty Treat
Fill your plates
Republished on Wednesday 1st September 2021: We're bringing this review back from the archives following the announcement of September's PlayStation Plus lineup. The original text follows. Overcooked: All You Can Eat is like enjoying your favourite meal while wearing newly prescribed glasses. Sure, you've had this plenty of times...
Mini Review King of Seas (PS4) - A Slow But Seaworthy Pirate RPG
Weathering the storm
King of Seas might have an uncomfortably similar name to Microsoft's Sea of Thieves, but the two are very different takes on nautical adventuring. This is a top-down, sea-faring sandbox in which you play as the child of the titular monarch, framed for his murder and forced into a life of piracy. The story isn't going to blow you...
Mini Review Narita Boy (PS4) - 80s Soaked Action Adventure Is a Digital Delight
Narita Booooooy
Narita Boy is a side-scrolling, 80s VCR-soaked pixel adventure. You play as the titular Narita Boy, a chosen hero of sorts who's tasked with saving a digital dimension from its all-powerful creator. There's a lot more story here than you might think — most of it told through lengthy dialogue boxes — but the gist of it is that...
Mini Review Monster Sanctuary (PS4) - A Monster Taming Marvel
This one's a Keeper
Here's the elevator pitch for Monster Sanctuary: It's like Pokémon, but it's structured like a Metroidvania. It boasts a reasonably large map of interconnected corridors and rooms, complete with some light puzzle and platforming elements. The world itself is a bit unremarkable, but it's the in-depth and addictive gameplay that...
Mini Review Worms Rumble (PS5) - Simple But Successful Spin-Off Proves the Series Has Wriggle Room
A new species
The Worms franchise has more or less stayed the same across its 25-year history, so it was due a shake-up. Worms Rumble is an offshoot that ditches the strategic turn-based gameplay in favour of more immediate, real-time action. Fans may well wrinkle their noses at this, but honestly, it works better than you might think. Up to 32...

Hands On Turning Back Time with Yooka-Laylee on PS4
A Rare treat?
The employees over at Playtonic have been through a lot to say the least, many of them coming from backgrounds at the ever-celebrated developer Rare that was responsible for such timeless classics as Donkey Kong Country, GoldenEye 007, and Donkey Kong 64 to name a few. So there's a pedigree to these people to say the least, but have...
News Yooka-Laylee's Release Date Revealed in Brand New Trailer
Capital
We're pretty excited for Playtonic's 3D platformer revival here at Push Square. One of our American correspondents, Mitch Vogel, recently went hands-on with Yooka-Laylee at PSX, and had a grand old time. It's good news, then, to hear that the game will be released for the PlayStation 4 on 11th April. The announcement comes at the end of the...
News The Escapists Is Finally Making a Run for It on PS4
Leg it, lads
Innovative indie The Escapists is finally breaking out on PlayStation 4, Team 17 has revealed. Playing as prison inmates as you attempt to plan and carry out an escape attempt, the 2D title can be quite brutal, especially if you haven't sewn up all of your loose ends. It's a rather in-depth release, too, boasting plenty of content to...
Gamescom 2014 Have Your Own Great Escape in The Escapists
You didn't see anything
You can commit plenty of crimes in games these days, but you can get away with them scot-free just by hacking a few traffic lights or getting a paint job on your car. In The Escapists, developed by Mouldy Toof Studios and published by Team 17, you find yourself locked in a high security prison, seeking a way to escape...
News Worms Battlegrounds Will Bring Bonkers Brawling to PS4 Very Soon
Come on then
The long running Worms franchise is essentially the anti-Highlander, as there seems to be an endless supply of the humorous strategy games to go around. Sony's super machine will soon be getting its very own iteration, with the announcement of Worms Battlegrounds. The game will be launching on 30th May in Europe and 3rd June in North...
