But it absolutely deserves its placement, owing to its eye-catching Western anime-esque art style, confident voice acting, and dramatic decisions-based gameplay.<\/p>\n<div class=\"for-mobile insert insert-label\">\n<div id=\"inject-primis-player\" data-src-primis=\"https:\/\/live.primis.tech\/live\/liveView.php?s=117168&amp;vp_content=plembed39b4tigwxqjz&amp;cbuster=%%CACHEBUSTER%%&amp;playerApiId=primis_player_float&amp;schain=1.0,1!ziffdavis.com,22392450815,1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>At the heart of this superb eight-episode outing is protagonist Robert, the everyman pilot of Mecha Man, voiced by Aaron Paul. After events in the opening lead him to overseeing a ragtag group of ex-villains at superhero services agency SDN, you\u2019re thrust into an adventure that constantly keeps you on your toes.<\/p>\n<p>For the most part, you\u2019ll be kicking back and watching excellently animated cut-scenes, picking dialogue decisions which will influence the outcome of the story.<\/p>\n<p>But you\u2019ll also need to partake in strategic sim-like sequences, where you\u2019ll need to consider requests popping up all around the city, and determine which of your roster of retired villains would deal with the situation best.<\/p>\n<p>The game constantly prods and pulls at you, changing the rules just as you get comfortable and applying <em>just<\/em> enough pressure to keep this aspect of the game feeling fresh. While the story will keep moving regardless of how you perform, walking away from a particularly productive shift feels great.<\/p>\n<p>And while this is all going on, you\u2019ll fall in love with its motley cast of characters, each of which has more depth than you may initially expect. All of the designs and performances are impeccable, and you\u2019ll want more once you eventually wrap up the story.<\/p>\n<p>Which is to say, Dispatch is one of the best surprises of 2025. It effortlessly takes that Telltale format, expands on it, and repackages it with awe-inspiring presentation.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any love for comic books, superhero movies, or even good ol\u2019 narrative adventures, then you owe it to yourself to give this a go.<\/p>\n<div class=\"insert-label centered insert lazyload for-mobile insert-extended lazyload\">\n<div id=\"PS_MPU_X_F69515CB053920\" style=\"min-width:300px; min-height:250px;display:flex; flex-wrap: wrap; align-items:center; justify-content: center;\" data-dfp-id=\"pushsquare\/mobile_web_display\/article\" data-dfp-sizes=\"300x250,300x600\" data-dfp-targeting=\"pos=1,gto=false,experiment=nl-article-mobile-2\" class=\"lazyload\" data-dfp-refresh-direct=\"true\" data-prebid-config=\"Lazy_Load_HP_MPU\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- cache: html:pushsquare.com\/ssl\/ps5\/related-articles:192915 @ 1766936561 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\">\n<header class=\"widget-header\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Articles\"><\/span>Related Articles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"body\">\n<div class=\"object-related-list\">\n<article class=\"object-related-article\">\n<p class=\"object-related-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/00c9e53e783c8\/150x90.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"90\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Dispatch (PS5) - Interactive Superhero Show Is a Damn Good Time\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"object-related-info\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Review_Dispatch_PS5_%E2%80%93_Interactive_Superhero_Show_Is_a_Damn_Good_Time\"><\/span><span class=\"category accent\">Review<\/span> <span class=\"title\">Dispatch (PS5) &#8211; Interactive Superhero Show Is a Damn Good Time<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"tagline\">Cape diem<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article><\/div>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Push Square&#8217;s<\/strong> Game of the Year top 10 is decided by votes coming from internal staff and regular contributors.
