PlayStation 4 Marathon : 47 Games (Hidden Gems, Shoot em ups & More!)

Here’s a “best of” marathon of 6 PS4 gaming videos. We talk about 33 PlayStation 4 Hidden Gems plus 14 Arcade Shoot ‘em Ups and I share some rare developer PS4 game controllers at the end. Tons of great PS4 content here, so check it out! WATCH >> https://youtu.be/qcMCbDIqdws

Why does the PS4 rock? Glad you asked! Released in 2013 by Sony, the PS4 is like that cool, well-dressed guy at a party who knows just how to entertain you and make you feel at home. With a sleek design, powerful hardware, and a library of games that could make a hermit say “social life who?” the PS4 has been a hit among gamers worldwide.*

Key Features:

1. Graphics So Realistic They Could Make Your Grandma Mistake Them for a Soap Opera:
The PS4’s graphics are top-notch, making characters look so real you half expect them to walk out of the screen and ask you for directions.

2. The Controller:
The DualShock 4 controller is ergonomic, responsive, and has a nifty little light on the back. It’s like the Swiss Army knife of game controllers, minus the ability to open a can of beans.

3. Remote Play:
Ever wanted to play PS4 games on the toilet? Well, with Remote Play, your dreams have come true. You can now be a hero in your living room and a villain in the bathroom, seamlessly.

4. Games Galore:
From “God of War” to “Uncharted,” the PS4’s game library is like an all-you-can-eat buffet of digital awesomeness. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re into action, adventure, or just want to play a game where you pretend to be a goat (yes, that’s a real thing).

5. Online Play:
Join a game of “Call of Duty” online and get mercilessly schooled by a 12-year-old who uses words your parents don’t approve of. PS Plus is your ticket to this humbling experience.

6. VR Compatibility:
The PS4’s virtual reality setup lets you strap on a headset and escape reality. Because who needs to deal with real-life problems when you can fend off zombie hordes in VR?

7. Media Center:
It’s not just a gaming console; it’s also a Netflix machine, a YouTube browser, and a place to pretend you’re going to use the fitness apps but never actually do.

The PS4 is like that trusty dog that’s always there for you after a long day, offering you endless entertainment, companionship, and the occasional frustration when things don’t load fast enough. It’s the ultimate gadget for those who believe that reality is overrated and virtual worlds are where the real fun begins.
