Decide Push Square’s GOTM
Man, if you thought June was quiet, wait until we recap the PS5 games that came out in July!
Okay, that’s a bit harsh. July actually had a fairly busy release schedule — it’s just that there were very few heavy hitters in the mix. As such, last month was a good time to be a fan of indie titles, with a glut of smaller games battling it out for our attention.
We had Anger Foot, The Wandering Village, Time Flies, and Wheel World all launching to positive reviews — each of them offering up something completely different. Creativity remains the lifeblood of the indie scene.
What about those aforementioned heavy hitters, then? Well, July’s higher profile titles included the likes of anticipated remaster Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4, and curious Soulslike Wuchang: Fallen Feathers.
In fact, the latter was probably the most talked-about release of the month, but lukewarm reviews from both critics and players seem to have slammed the brakes on Wuchang’s momentum.
By contrast, everyone seems to love Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound. The side-scrolling action platformer strikes a fantastic balance between retro brutality and more modern design choices, resulting in an easy fan favourite.
Beyond that, RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business is worth a shout, it being a standalone kind of mini-sequel to 2023’s dumb but incredibly fun Rogue City. Oh, and let’s not forget about Ready or Not — the tactical shooter that hit big with fans of more realistic military encounters.
Anyway, it’s almost time to vote for your Game of the Month. But before we move on to the poll, here’s a quick recap of our winners for 2025 so far…
- January: Ninja Gaiden 2 Black
- February: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
- March: Assassin’s Creed Shadows
- April: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
- May: DOOM: The Dark Ages
- June: Death Stranding 2: On the Beach

Robert (or Rob if you’re lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he’s played ’em all. A little too much, some might say.
