Soapbox GTA: San Andreas Is Still an Open World Classic
Aw sh*t, here we go again
The rumour that Rockstar is remastering the PlayStation 2’s trilogy of Grand Theft Auto games for PlayStation 5 and PS4 last week had a profound impact on me: I simply had to return to the fictional state of San Andreas. My history with the 2004 open world is both fortuitous and a little bit embarrassing actually: despite...
Talking Point How Would You Improve PS Plus?
Better games? PS Now? More services?
After what appeared to be a fairly hot streak of quality PlayStation Plus line-ups earlier this year, it feels like the chatter surrounding Sony's premier subscription service has once again returned to discussing how to improve it. This month's free PS Plus games clearly played a part in shaping that...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 389
Premier edition
Well, there wasn't long between the Olympics and the Premier League returning, was there? With the football back on our screens, we suspect we're going to be a little more occupied this weekend. There's always time for video games, though. Sammy Barker, Editor: Although I'm excited about the new Premier League season, I'll be...
Guide Best PS4 Open World Games
The best sandbox experiences on PS4
What are the best PS4 open world games? There are a lot of good sandbox games on the PlayStation 4. The genre may not be universally praised these days, but a great open world game can really pull you into an experience like few other genres can. Typically boasting huge free-roaming environments for you to...
Hands On Back 4 Blood Wears Its Inspiration with Pride
Counter Strike x Left 4 Dead x Cards
Back 4 Blood could be a video game adaptation of the classic Avengers: Age of Ultron quote: "Fine, I'll do it myself." With countless villains failing to put an end to the superhero task force, Thanos takes it upon himself to show them how it's done. And after a long list of Left 4 Dead clones fell short of...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 388
Ireland! Ariana! The underworld!
The Olympics are almost over and we have no idea what we're going to do with our late (late) evenings once it concludes. That's alright, though: the football season starts over soon (both of the handegg and traditional variety) so there's still plenty of sport to look forward to. Sammy Barker, Editor: I've fallen...
First Impressions Rustler on PS5, PS4 Is Old-School GTA in Medieval Times
Horsin' around
Rockstar is in a league of its own when it comes to modern open world games, but its back catalogue of isometric Grand Theft Auto games remains iconic for players of a certain age. This author grew up playing Grand Theft Auto: London at a friend’s house on the PS1, and while it was borderline impossible, it brings back fond...
Soapbox I Don't Understand Service Games That Don't Add Trophies
Retention prevention
I just can’t understand it, readers: if you’re designing a game that’s built around player retention, why wouldn’t you add new Trophies to it? I suppose the easy answer is thus: Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone are two of the biggest games in the world and don’t actually have any gongs to unlock, but it still blows...
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,...
Guide Upcoming PS5, PS4 Games for August and September 2021
Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut! Hades! Deathloop!
The year is moving right along, and we're starting to get out of the comparatively quiet summer months and into a busier release schedule. From August onwards, PlayStation 5 and PS4 games are going to start coming thick and fast, and there's plenty to be excited about over the next few weeks. Let's...

How's everyone enjoying the Olympics, then? It's obviously not quite the same without crowds, but the Tokyo event has delivered some entertaining competition in its first week, hasn't it? We can't wait for the athletics events to hit full steam over the coming days. Sammy Barker, Editor: I feel like I need to give my Madden...

We already know some details about August 2021's PS Plus lineup, including the month's free PS5 game, so read on for the latest rumours and speculation about Sony's subscription...
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,...
Round Up What Was Announced at EA Play 2021?
All the PS5, PS4 reveals
More than a month after everyone else, EA has finally showcased just some of what it has planned for the months and years to come in terms of game releases. That includes the usual sleight of sports experiences, but there will also be something for shooter fans and even survival horror geeks. If you didn't manage to catch...
Talking Point Was EA Play 2021 Any Better Than Usual?
Electronic Arts goes late
We can't quite believe it's already been more than a month since E3 2021; how time flies. We remember wasting our time watching Randy Pitchford awkwardly converse with Kevin Hart like it was yesterday. Regardless, EA still wanted to get in on the digital fun but decided to host its own showcase in late July instead of...

Expect the usual string of FIFA, Madden NFL, and The Sims updates – along with new information on Battlefield 2042, Apex Legends,...
Talking Point Is Free-to-Play the Future for Sports Games?
Services rather than sequels
Every year, the announcement of the latest FIFA, NBA 2K, MLB The Show, or Madden is met with the same chorus of complaints: copy-and-paste. It’s a reductive comment, of course – the Internet, as a whole, is rarely constructive with its criticism – but these titles are developed on such short cycles that it’s hard...
Hands On Arcadegeddon Shows Serious Potential in Early Access on PS5
'geddon a bad rap
Arcadegeddon was announced during Sony's last State of Play broadcast, but we get the feeling that a lot of people already forgot it exists. This third person shooter is a brand new IP developed and published by Illfonic, and it's available right now on PlayStation 5 in early access. It would be all too easy to write it off; a game...
Movie Review Werewolves Within - A Fun Comedy Horror Lacking Some Bite
Lycan it
You'd be forgiven for thinking this movie has nothing to do with games at all, but Werewolves Within is in fact based on a relatively obscure PlayStation VR game of the same name (itself based on a tabletop game simply named Werewolf). Ubisoft's virtual reality title is a social multiplayer game in which players are assigned various roles...
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...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 385
The weather is sweet, yeah
Has it really only been a week since that final? Sigh. We're deep in the summer now, to be fair: the sun is shining and our brow is a little damper than usual. Time to close the curtains and knuckle down, no? Stephen Tailby, Associate Editor: I’ve been slowly plugging away at a game for review, but I’ll keep that...
Hands On Streets of Rage 4 DLC Packs a Punch with New Characters and Modes
Mr. X Nightmare is a dream
In many ways, Mr. X Nightmare is the best kind of DLC. Streets of Rage 4 is already a very fun beat-'em-up, but this add-on pack just makes it even better with its various additions to the experience. If you're a fan of the game, this is a no-brainer — especially as it's at such a low price point. We've had a look...
The PS4's best anime adaptations
What are the best anime games on PS4? With this list, we wanted to highlight our favourite licensed anime titles, available on PlayStation 4 (and PlayStation 5 via backwards compatibility). Now, the reason we say "licensed" is because this list only includes games based on anime or manga properties. It does not...
Soapbox PS5 Is Beautiful When Its Distinctive Features Are Used Properly
Sammy's a big fan of Sony's new console when it comes together
I’ve got to be honest: unless it’s a first-party game, I’ve come to expect the worst when it comes to publishers using PlayStation 5’s unique features. Many of them will talk a big game prior to release, but once you get your fingers on the pad, it falls apart. Titles like DIRT 5...
Hands On Media Molecule Flexes with Megapenguin Rehatched's Opening Levels in Dreams
Collaborative project's primer is fantastic
We'll openly admit to being a little late to the party on this, but we've just played Megapenguin Rehatched in Dreams and have to tell you about it. As we reported a couple of weeks ago, Megapenuin Rehatched is a collaborative project within Media Molecule's creation game. The idea is brilliant: the...

The Italian job
It’s an exciting and nail-biting weekend here at Push Square Towers, as the Euro 2020 final nears with England in it! We can’t imagine there’ll be too many readers of this website old enough to remember the nation’s 1966 World Cup victory – please comment if you do! – so this is uncharted territory. Frightening!

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...
Soapbox What Makes Returnal So Special
Liam found a rogue-like to love
Generally, I don't like the rogue-like genre. Just the idea of having to restart an entire game over again upon death sort of rubs me the wrong way. I want to be making progress at all times; having to replay sequences never entertains me. That need is probably why I so rarely replay games in general. A few classics...
Hands On Samurai Warriors 5 Has the Potential to Be a Special Musou Game
Destiny intertwined
It's crazy to think that the last mainline instalment in the Samurai Warriors series — Samurai Warriors 4 — released almost seven years ago. There have been a few spinoff titles since, but after so long, it's clear that Koei Tecmo wanted to do something relatively new with the franchise. And so we have Samurai Warriors 5,...
Round Up What Was Announced During Sony's Latest State of Play Livestream?
All the PS5, PS4 reveals
Sony controlled the digital gaming waves this evening with a State of Play livestream that got the masses talking about a PlayStation 5 timed-exclusive, third-party titles, and indie games. Not what many were hoping from the company, but it's better than nothing. It's understandable if you weren't able to tune in to the...
Talking Point Was Sony's Latest State of Play Livestream Any Good?
Sony lays it all out
It's not what many were expecting, but Sony did indeed host an announcement-focused livestream on 8th July 2021. A new State of Play showcase focusing on Deathloop as well as third-party titles and indies, of course! At least it keeps us ticking over until the platform holder's next big event, right? Anyway, the PS5...
Live Watch Sony PlayStation's State of Play Livestream Right Here (8th July, 2021)
Deathloop! Indies! Third-party titles!
It’s not the big E3 2021-esque event many fans have been itching for, but a new State of Play will air today with an emphasis on Bethesda first-person shooter Deathloop. The title will be flanked by updates on “exciting” indie and third-party projects, but there’ll be no God of War Ragnarok or Horizon...
Soapbox Why I'm Less Excited for Deathloop on PS5 Than I Should Be
As State of Play looms
Deathloop is undoubtedly one of my most anticipated games – or, at least, it should be. Despite being rightly acclaimed, I still feel the Dishonored series is a little underrated: Arkane’s stealth sandboxes pack masterful level design, providing a real sense of freedom allowing you to tackle problems however you see fit...
Reaction It's Time to Accept We Can't Predict PlayStation Anymore
The company's doing its own thing
We don’t have a clue what to expect from PlayStation anymore, and neither should you. A lot has changed over the course of the last generation, and Sony’s communication strategy – or, perhaps, lack thereof – is most prominent of all. The organisation was once talkative – chatty, even – during the early...

French fancy
Alright, it's not the household names you expect from E3, but Nacon Connect promises a hatful of games, including Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown. Expect a Nintendo Direct-esque stream full of the French publisher's forthcoming projects, including three all-new reveals. The show will get underway from 6PM BST. Nacon Connect (6th...

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...

It's coming home
It’s actually been a reasonably chaotic week here at Push Square, with multiple PlayStation Studios acquisition announcements and the reveal of Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut. We’re looking to the weekend to play some games, then. Sammy Barker, Editor: Euro 2020 is just about still monopolising my time – although there...
Report How PlayStation Is Failing Indie Developers
PS Store sale exclusion, backend mishaps, and lacking support
As Sony focuses its first-party efforts on delivering a wide range of PlayStation 5 blockbusters, the company is starting to fail the independent developers that produce the vast majority of games available on the PS Store. Smaller teams are struggling to work out how to put their own...
Reaction Messy Ghost of Tsushima Upgrade Makes PS5 for the Payers
Cough up
Sony may see itself as the premium platform in the marketplace these days, but it’s up for debate how long dedicated fans will continue to pay for the privilege of playing on the PlayStation 5. While the Japanese giant’s main competitor Microsoft continues to offer outrageous value through its Xbox Game Pass program, the PlayStation...
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...
Hands On The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles Is a Victorian Spin on a Classic Formula
It's elementary
With The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, two entries in the series are finally being brought to the West. Capcom's courtroom visual novels are a real treat with their melodramatic legal battles, charming characters, and zany writing. While PlayStation users became acquainted with the franchise via the Phoenix Wright Trilogy, the...

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.

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.

Can you remember all these E3 details?
Well, this year's E3 season has sure been a weird one.

We're quickly closing in on the halfway point of 2021, so it's time to take stock of the year so far.

Game of the Show Top 5 PS5, PS4 Games from E3 2021
As voted by you
Look, it wasn’t a vintage year for new PlayStation 5 and PS4 announcements at E3 2021. Sony skipped the event, meaning we were relying on third-party reveals, and – if we’re being perfectly honest – the pandemic meant that most publishers didn’t have much to show. However, it wasn’t a complete and utter wash, as there...

When the dreadfully named Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin was revealed during Square Enix's E3 showcase, we didn't know what to think.
