Reception
On review aggregator Metacritic, the game received "generally favorable reviews" on PlayStation 4, with a score of 75 out of 100, based on 4 reviews. Sam Machkovech of Ars Technica said that the game was the best among its contemporary wave of "couch sports" games: non-combat multiplayer with elements similar to old sports video games. He added that the game's aesthetic was reminiscent of Adult Swim. Jamin Warren of Kill Screen wrote that the game's core gameplay has a "Koonsian quality of both innocent and grotesque". Alice O'Connor of Rock, Paper, Shotgun called the game "David Cronenberg's Wrestleball". Andrew Tarantola from Engadget compared Push Me Pull You to a combination of Greco-Roman wrestling, capture the flag, Human Centipede, and soccer. Writing for Polygon, Megan Farokhmanesh and Allegra Frank praised the game as "one of the most fast-paced, unique, and entertaining additions" entries in the local multiplayer genre.
