A lot of exciting things were going on in the development of electronic gaming. That's why they were so popular as gifts around the holiday season My grand nephews always had to have the latest games on their consoles. Last year, they got the latest upgrade, which was good, but the bad news was that they weren't allowed to play with them because they were restricted because they got in trouble. Hopefully, they weren't restricted this year. Their great aunt would hate for them to miss these gaming perks.

That meant that each release had its own single experience. On PS4, gamers were able to use their consoles to add to their personal experiences. These enhancements did two things: 1) It sped up game time and 2) Eliminated surprises by allowing the player to turn them off at will.
