Site News Where's Our Suicide Squad PS5 Review?
Ready and waiting
In just a handful of hours, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will release on PS5 via its Deluxe Edition. Marking the first moment it's available to the public, you'd rightly expect reviews from media outlets to have been published by now to help you decide whether it's worth picking up or not — including our own. However,...
Site News Our Game of the Year Goodness Gets Underway from Today
Here we go again
It’s been a big year for PlayStation – many would argue a vintage year, in fact. While the selection of first-party software from Sony has been a little on the light side, third-parties have more than picked up the slack, producing bangers like Baldur’s Gate 3, Alan Wake 2, and so, so, so much more. As has become something of...
Site News We Need You to Fill Out Our Reader Survey

We don’t mean to remind you, but Christmas is coming – and that means the New Year is right around the corner.

Site News Where's Our Alan Wake 2 PS5 Review?
Stuck in the dark place
As you'll no doubt have seen at various other outlets, the review embargo for Alan Wake 2 has now lifted. Early verdicts for Remedy Entertainment's hotly anticipated sequel are now out in the wild, and you might be wondering where Push Square's assessment is right now. Well, it's coming, but we're not totally ready yet...
Site News Where's Our Mortal Kombat 1 PS5 Review?
It's koming
Mortal Kombat 1 releases today for those who’ve podded out on the game’s Premium Edition, so you may have been expecting us to publish our PS5 review. Unfortunately, we’ve only just received access to the game, and that means our verdict is going to be a little late. Obviously, we’re eager to thoroughly test out all the features,...
Site News Where's Our Remnant 2 PS5 Review?
It's rising from the ashes
Right about now, reviews of Remnant II will be hitting the Internet. Following up on the impressive original, this sequel is all set to expand and improve upon what Gunfire Games achieved four years ago. However, we need more time to judge the game's quality and come to an accurate conclusion. We won't have a PS5 review to...
Site News Accessibility Brought to the Fore in New Push Square Partnership
Breaking it down
PlayStation has led the industry when it comes to accessibility, with first-party studios like Naughty Dog, Santa Monica Studio, and others all innovating to ensure its PS5 and PS4 titles can be enjoyed by more people. This has led to the Japanese giant winning a number of awards for its efforts, and later this year it’ll release...
Site News Where's Our Exoprimal PS5, PS4 Review?
Embrace, extend, extinction
Exoprimal launches tomorrow, 14th July, on PS5 and PS4 – but our review won’t be live to mark the occasion. Capcom’s latest shooter is a heavily online co-op focused game, and while we’ve had code for a few days, the servers have only just gone live. This means outside of the various pre-release betas, we’re yet...
Site News Vote for the Best Game of All Time with the Push Square Community
This time it's definitive
It's fair to say that we're very proud of the community here on Push Square, and fantastic examples of its passion for gaming (and other topics!) can be found over in the forums.

Site News Where Is Our Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores PS5 Review?
Hollywood dreamin'
Horizon Forbidden West’s hugely anticipated DLC expansion Burning Shores launches tomorrow on the PS5, and you may be wondering where our review is. We can confirm that the review embargo has now lifted – in fact, the DLC is already available in some time zones – but we’ve only just received playable code, meaning we’ve...

We've just started to Push Square
Right around now, reviews of PS5 console exclusive Forspoken are hitting the web.

However, unfortunately, that won't be possible today. In fact, it probably won't be...

Site News Lost Judgment PS5 Review - Where Is It?
Still on the case
The embargo for Lost Judgment reviews is up today, but the Push Square verdict is still being decided. That's because Lost Judgment is a big game, and simply put, we're nowhere near finished playing through it. We're around 33 hours in at the time of writing, and we're absolutely swamped in optional activities and side quests. The...
Site News NBA 2K22 PS5, PS4 Review - Where Is It?
It's coming, a'ight
We’ve already published our Tales of Arise PS5 review and Life Is Strange: True Colors PS5 review, so you may be wondering where our NBA 2K22 review is. This one is going to take a little while, we’re afraid: that’s because due to the online nature of the release we only received review code until about an hour before...
Site News Our Game of the Year Countdown Gets Underway Today
Which game will win?
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and we’re not necessarily talking about illuminated trees and Christmas cake. No, it’s that time of the year where we temporarily take some time away from the traditional news cycle in order to bring you some top-notch holiday content. As is always the case, we’ve got multiple...
Site News Where's Our Cyberpunk 2077 Review?
This ain't it, V
It's fair to say that Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the biggest games of 2020. If not the biggest game of 2020, and one of the most anticipated games of the entire generation. We've been waiting on CD Projekt Red's open world RPG for what feels like an eternity, but unfortunately, just days before its release, we don't have a Push Square...

Next-gen starts when we say so
We’re happy to confirm that this morning we received a PlayStation 5 from Sony, meaning that you can expect tons of coverage over the coming weeks. It’s been a year unlike any other really, meaning that this morning was our first opportunity to touch the next-gen console and its controller. We’ve obviously got...
Site News Where's Our Marvel's Avengers PS4 Review?
We A.I.M. for next week
Marvel's Avengers is out on PlayStation 4 today via the Deluxe Edition and so you might be wondering where all the reviews, and indeed the Push Square verdict, are. We do have review code of our own and have been plugging away at the game's campaign since yesterday, but given the online nature of this superhero experience,...
Site News Yes, We're Playing The Last of Us 2
Finish the fight
As has already been confirmed by a dozen or so social media influencers with approximately 15 times more clout than us, Sony has provided us with The Last of Us: Part II review code and we’re currently playing the game. And that’s all we’re really allowed to say at this stage, which is all a bit frustrating for you, isn’t...

What's an Xbox?
Look, we’ve got colleagues who bat for the Team in Green, but you really shouldn’t hold that against them.

The website has been resurrected ahead of the...
Site News Welcome to Our End of Year Bonanza
Christmas is coming
This is typically the time of year where computers get shutdown, email notifications get enabled, and Mulled Wine gets stewed. Make no mistake: that’s exactly what will be happening here at Push Square Towers, too – we’ll just be cranking up Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled as opposed to the crusty old karaoke machine. But!...

Site News We're Looking for a Vibrant Video Producer to Lead Push Square to YouTube Glory
Hey everyone! It's [Your Name] from Push Square
We love writing about PlayStation here at Push Square, but apparently the younger generation aren’t quite as fond of the written word. We’ve been meddling with YouTube for several years now, and we’ve published some cracking content in that time. However, with the PlayStation 5 around the corner,...
Site News Where's Our Call of Duty: Modern Warfare PS4 Review?
Going dark
Today, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has launched across the globe. Infinity Ward's latest is in the hands of the public, and several media outlets have delivered their verdicts on the newest game in the storied franchise. So, where's ours? The short answer is we don't have the game yet. The slightly longer answer is this. Reviews that...

Site News Our PlayStation E3 2019 Coverage Starts Now
Are you red E?
Look, let’s address the big white elephant in the non-existent room: whatever happens over the next week or so, this is not going to be a vintage E3 for PlayStation. You can call us cynical if you like, but it’s just not going to be – without Sony in attendance, there’s going to be a gaping hole in our coverage that no...
Site News The Division 2 PS4 Review - Where Is It?
Listen up, agent
The game's out on PS4 right now, so where's our review for The Division 2? Well, as is almost always the case with these live service titles, the press don't get access to early review code, and that's what's happened with The Division 2. In other words, we'll be playing through the game at the same time as everyone else. That's...
Site News Push Square Is Now Ten Years Old (We Think)
Remembering a decade of (mostly) outstanding PlayStation coverage
Every good story starts with a eureka moment! My fledgling music career had fizzled out before I’d even had chance to finish my mathrock cover of Bump in the Night, and a bright-eyed Sammy Barker – then with much better, much blonder hair – decided to do something new. I’d...
Site News Where's Our Kingdom Hearts III Review?
Broken hearts
The time has come for games critics to reveal their reviews for Kingdom Hearts III, but unfortunately, you won't be getting a review from us here at Push Square just yet. Obviously Kingdom Hearts III is a big deal -- this is a sequel that people have literally been waiting over an entire decade for -- but as you may have already...
Site News Push Square's Game of the Year 2018 Coverage Starts Now
All will be revealed
We know we say this every year, but 2018 really is our biggest Christmas schedule ever.

We’re really proud to be ending the...
Site News God of War Wins the Push Square Forum's Game of the Year
Marvel's Spider-Man and Red Dead Redemption 2 in top three

Site News Push Square Readers Vote for Game of the Year
Playing favourites
Push Square’s official Game of the Year has been decided, but you won’t see the editorial team's top ten until later in the month – we’ve got to keep the articles churning through the slow Christmas period, after all. That said, if you want some Game of the Year action right now, then our readers are voting on their...
Site News Where's Our Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Review?
Top of the BlOps
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is out now, and you’re probably wondering where our review is, right? Well, you’re going to have to sit tight. The reason for this is because the latest in Activision’s ginormous series is heavily online focused, and while we could have pushed for invites to swanky review events, we prefer to cover...

A quick word from the editors
As you may have noticed, reviews for Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age are now hitting the web. We did a quick round up that you can check out through here. However, we don't have a Push Square review of Dragon Quest XI to present to you, and we're going to detail why that is in this...

Site News Introducing Our Brand New Review Scoring System
Roll up
The topic of reviews and our scoring system comes up an awful lot among the Push Square editorial team. Is an out-of-10 scale still the right way to go? Should we move to a 5-star rating? How can we make scoring games easier for our fleet of reviewers? Do we need scores at the end of our reviews at all? It's something that's needed looking...
