Dead Island 2 is such a fun game. Not every game needs to have a 10/10 story. It’s just fun running around in it

It’s really solid but, just like in season 1, it felt like we needed 2 to 5+ more total episodes to actually really flesh this story out. Jam packing everything into 10 episodes feels unnatural. It makes the story feel rushed and condensed at points. I hate how restrictive that must be for Trigger.

Season 1, although it’s one of my favorite most recent anime, suffers the same setback. The content felt too condensed to meet a specific episode order rather than naturally building it. In all reality, Edgerunners Season 1 needed to be 13 to 24 episodes and Edgerunners Season 2 probably needed 13 to 15 ish. I get that’s not how normal seasons are outputted but normal anime seasons don’t stop at 10 episodes most of the time. Even allowing each season to reach 12 total episodes each would’ve let the story breathe a little more.

Overall, I really enjoyed Season 2. I hope they decide to renew it for a Season 3. Maybe Season 3 can tease us with minor characters that actually have some impact on Cyberpunk 2. I’d love at least some natural, unforced crossover if it’s not cringe. But, that’d take time away from the actual production of Cyberpunk 2.

Trails in the Sky FC but I’m barely able to play anything this weekend. I’m going down to Atlanta, Georgia for a couple weeks before my best bud has his first child. So I’m swamped 😭😭 Then I come back and it’ll be less than ten days until GTA VI so I’m not going to get to finish this game for a long time despite loving it

I just couldn’t get into the Steins;Gate anime despite trying multiple times. But maybe it’s better in VN form. I’m a huge sucker for visual novels so I may give this a try eventually

These look ugly and cheap IMO. I’ll stick to the ones I got tbh

@Othatguy I’m loving Trails in the Sky FC. I just started Chapter 1. I’ve missed playing my JRPGs so badly.

I’ve tried a Ys game before but didn’t personally dig it. But I may try it again eventually

If I wasn’t going away next week for two weeks, I’d be tackling it with a lot of my free time. Last time a game hooked me like this was 007: First Light (which was in May but in gaming lifecycles, that feels like a year ago)

The only spec I care about is Jason’s weight. I want to get the homie to be bigger than a mountain of fluff

I’m FINALLY starting Trails in the Sky First Chapter

@Czar_Khastik you’ve had about a million bangers in the past, but this is your best work IMO. Well done my fellow Yakuza enthusiast & homie

Replaying Bloodborne. It’s still so friggen good in 2026

Definitely going to replay on NG+ eventually. I adored this game. But I'm currently replaying Bloodborne. This NG+, Ghost of Yotei DLC and Witcher 3 Remaster all coming out so close to one another is so wild but great

Replaying Bloodborne because sp00ky seas0n is incoming

Silent Hill 2 game has been and was my planned Late October/Halloween game so this is a tad annoying.

Losing Silent Hill 2 right before Halloween is so bizarre for Sony. You’d expect Sony to ensure it stayed for that time period. But alas, it’s leaving which suuucckkss 😭😭

I get Konami wanting to squeeze out any money it can get with the Halloween boost. I don’t fault them for it. It’s just a weird choice by Sony/PlayStation to plan this game to be taken off right before sp00ky season.

To me, it’s my favorite game of all-time. It came at a time when I was extremely sick and needed it most. I remember playing it over and over again in a hospital bed. It’s the one game I’ll never get sick of no matter how many times I beat it

Replaying God of War Ragnarok in preparation for God of War Laufey come February. 2026 ends with a bang & 2027 is full of bangers as well

This is really cool and could be great… but the English voice acting sounds horrendous from what I’ve heard. That or the translation and/ writing team is just not up to par with dialogue. It’s definitely a play with subtitles with Japanese audio type of game like Yakuza is IMO… even though it’s a game based in America

Queen’s Blood is worth $70 on its own

I’ve never played a GTA game before and it sold me. Can’t wait to accidentally get myself 6 stars because of my shoddy driving skills

I’d watch this but it’s already a day one buy. I can’t wait for this to come out. From September 2026 through the whole of 2027, gamers are feasting. GTA VI, Wolverine, God of War Laufey, Control Resonant, Silent Hill Townfall, The Blood of Dawnwalker, Persona 4 Revival, Final Fantasy turn based, Final Fantasy VII Revelation, Stranger Than Heaven, and much, much, much and much more. We’re all about to be broke on money and time

All is good in the world

I’ve never played a GTA game before but I think this may be my first. And, damn, Lucia is such a babe. No way I don’t play most of the regular switchable content not as her.

Here comes another Witcher 3 platinum for me. If you give me more Witcher, I’m going to play more Witcher. Simple as that

Witcher 3 Remastered looks incredible. FF7 Revelation as well

Whoops, I’ve been replaying Cyberpunk 2077 all weekend. Oh well

There’s a ton of potential here. I can’t wait to see how they follow up in a sequel

This looks incredible. KH3 disappointed me but I have high hopes for KH4. A Coco World is such a slam dunk choice

I want to buy the collection for PS5 to replay but I don’t want to pay the full price premium for games I’ve already beat.

Honestly, I’ve been taking a little break on gaming since I beat ‘Resident Evil: Requiem’. No game has been speaking out to me as of late. I was debating NG+ of ‘Metaphor Re:Fantazio’ but with ‘Persona 4 Revival’ in February, I don’t want ‘Persona Burnout’.

When I next boot the bad boy up, I’m probably next continuing Death Stranding 2 or playing Hard Mode of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

Hip hip hooray

Really, Sony should’ve just said: our games will be digital only but 3rd party devs/publishers can still pump out discs. Sony can easily make money from the disc drives. Just such a scummy move completely eliminating that potential avenue for everyone. Sure, there would’ve been extreme backlash regardless. But this just sucks

Finally playing Resident Evil: Requiem as my bro got it for a surprise birthday present to me despite me saying no gifts 😂 Absolutely loving it

Best headline in Push Square history

The phased approach is absolutely dreadful. People every month check out the new games, download what they like, play ‘em and move on. No one wants to constantly waste time going into downloading PS+ games at different times a month

I trust RGG to deliver. I bet the music aspect will be a blast in the game.

But, the most important question is…

Will the song ‘Baka Mitai’ find its way in this game? Will Kiryu sing it from the womb? Will the major plot point be that Kiryu is actually 200 years old and has lived for the sole purpose of spreading karaoke (and ‘Baka Mitai’) around the world? That he only fights people for the love of karaoke?

The only games I’ve played on release were Yakuza 3 (very disappointed in it), Hades 2 (one of the best games I’ve played in years), and 007: First Light (an extremely fun game with a top tier performance by Patrick Gipson). I am excited to play Pragmata & Resident Evil Requiem eventually!

Yeah this is pretty common sense. They aren’t going to just decide that on a whim. This has probably been in the cards for months

I applaud you guys for being willing to change. Some companies would stand their ground, state it’s tradition, or just not care. But many haven’t dug the “We” because it takes away some accountability from the reviewers. More importantly, it’s awkward to read it like a group wrote it (with the We) rather than an individual (with I)… especially since the reviews are “probably” mainly written by one person.

The ‘PushSquare’ squad is fantastic, devoted to stating their opinions even if the vast majority of outlets say differently, and actually communicates with their followers in the comments’ sections. A lot of reviewers ignore comments from random followers so props to you all. Keep up the great works my guys! 😎😎

Time for Hard Mode in FF7 Rebirth! Just finished ‘No Sleep For Kaname Date’ last night

I loved Ghost of Yotei. By the end, I really came around on Atsu. I still prefer my homie Jin Sakai but Ghost of Yotei was excellent.

I hate how the haptic feedback isn’t utilized more often in games. The DualSense is so friggen cool but the utilization has been underwhelming and lacking. So I’m thrilled to see them saying they will do so here!

Unfortunately, a lot of these September & October games will fail because consumers cannot afford multiple new game releases let alone dozens. There will be a lot of games failing due to oversaturation at one time no matter how great these games end up. Is GTA VI going to be a giant? Yes. But there has to be a line somewhere that competing against all these other games is just as bad

I have faith they’ll deliver here. Spyro was a huge part of my childhood. Besides from Pokémon & NCAA Football ‘07, Spyro: Year of the Dragon was my most played game

I dig it. Some of the stuff was obvious but a heavy-lean into occult could be a lot of fun. Persona 5 is the game that dragged me back into gaming so I’m here Day 1 no matter what.

That’s great news! Having in-game rewards for playing NG+ is great. New Game + is the easiest way to get players to stick in the game well after the fact. Like right now with 007: First Light, I would’ve went straight into NG+ but there’s no option.

A slick yellow and black designed limited edition DualSense controller would be wicked.

FF7: Revelation is my most anticipated game. Witcher 4, Persona 6 (if it ever gets announced. Hoping for today), Yakuza/Like A Dragon 9 (whenever that gets announced) and Ace Attorney 7 (if it even exists 😭😭😭) are close behind. I never have played the original (I plan to once FF7 Part 3 concludes) so it’s surprising this game has topped my list.

I hope we get a limited edition DualSense controller for this massive release despite it being multi-console. They could come up with an absolutely insane design. At bare minimum, I’m buying the steelbook and/or Collector’s Edition if/when it gets announced.

I’m jealous of people who are naturally good at games like Cuphead. The art is downright gorgeous. But the gameplay is absolutely brutal… but absolutely fair. I got through either the first part or second then dropped the game for a new release (can’t remember what. I didn’t start Cuphead years after it released). I’ve watched people online play it and they’re friggen impressively nuts at it. Tip of my cup to them. I’ll probably pick it back up eventually

007: First Light was a ton of fun with a solid story. Nothing crazy complex but it wasn’t a convulted mess which was key. I really hope Amazon just publishes the next game and let’s IOI handle the actual development. IOI is clearly passionate about James Bond. The franchise has so much damn potential with Uncharted buried by Naughty Dog. I cannot wait to see what new gadgets, weapons, vehicles and more IOI comes up with…. and I want more of the homies Wreckie and Q’s car to come back. Both were fun additions that can be built upon

….and we need some more Bond girls. Bring back Noemie playing Isola and some new ones that can keep up with James’s quick wit & banter.

I’m not sure if I’ll buy this on release. I doubt it’s a full-price buy for me. But I’m definitely interested! This was NOT a game I was expecting to be announced this week.

Just finished 007: First Light tonight. This franchise has immense potential. But just when First Light was coming into its own, it was over. Patrick Gibson did a superb job capturing James Bond’s essence and Lennie James was phenomenal as John Greenway. Sad to put this game down but I’ll be back for New Game + hopefully soon.

Debating finally playing ‘Hard Mode’ of FF7: Rebirth or holding off on it until closer to the release of FF7: Revelations. Or I might just start a replay of FF7 Remake.

As long as it releases on Sony consoles, it really doesn’t matter. And the XBox showcases are unlikely to convert Sony buyers to an XBox. So ultimately, I don’t think it matters at all here

I REALLY hope we get the remakes of the original ‘God of War’ trilogy before this game IF they’re reintroducing the Greek gods. I’m a newcomer to the series having only started with ‘God of War (2018)’ 3 weeks before ‘God of War Ragnarok’ released. I got obsessed with it so fast that I ordered the controller and ventured into Walmart to grab a copy of ‘God of War Ragnarok’. So I’ve yet to experience the Greek side of Kratos’s epic journey.

I’ve tried streaming the PS+ versions of the regular ‘God of War’ games but my internet was so bad that it the game refused to accept my button inputs & mashing (when the game asked for it). It resulted in me giving up. This is a “my internet sucks” problem not me dissing the streaming service.

So yeah, I’m stoked for this game but would REALLY, REALLY prefer the remakes first 😭😭😭
