Push Rewind PS4 PlayStation 4 1

Thanksgiving week is always a strange one at Push Square Towers. As a predominantly British site, we don't celebrate the American holiday, but the PlayStation Nation tends to go to sleep while our friends from across the pond take time out. It's all good, though, because this author spent his week ordering multiple copies of Fallout 4. It's a long story.

Bloodborne The Old Hunters PS4 PlayStation 4

Reviews

Bloodborne: The Old Hunters - 9/10

Bloodborne: The Old Hunters is much more of the same from what is already an outstanding game. The new environments and boss encounters add hours to the main experience, but it's the deluge of additional equipment that will keep veterans most occupied. If you've been yearning for a reason to return to Yharnam, then this DLC practically demands your Blood Echoes. Just remember that the life of a hunter is defined by death – and you're going to die a lot.

Star Wars Battlefront - 7/10

Star Wars Battlefront is a good Star Wars game, but an average multiplayer shooter. If you have any love for a galaxy far, far away, you'll get a real kick out of the taking part in its fun, large scale battles, and your reverence for the source material may even be enough to keep you coming back despite its shortcomings. If, on the other hand, you're after the next big shooter to keep you occupied longer term, the limited weaponry and simplified customisation mean that this isn't the game that you're looking for.

And yet following that influx of users, the premium platform has developed a real perception problem – particularly among those who remember the heady days of the PlayStation 3, when plumping up for the annual fee granted you access to several top-tier titles every single month.

Soapbox: Why Fallout 4 Has One of PS4's Best Open Worlds

"You see that nondescript object way over there in the distance?" a game developer in an ill-fitting outfit says as they wave their hands in the vague direction of a comically oversized projection screen splattered with images of their latest open world adventure. "You can walk all the way over there!"
