Digital paradise 🎮🏝

Last night I went down a video game purchasing wormhole. I am going to blame it on eating two Delta-8 gummies earlier in the evening. After browsing the active sales on the PlayStation store, I ended up spending a total of $91.

Lets take a closer look at each of the games that I bought last night.

1. Doom Eternal

$24 — 39GB

I have been waiting for this game to go on sale for awhile now. I knew it would be receiving a discount soon, but I didn't know I'd be able to get this one for under $30. I wanted to buy this game before the free next-gen upgrade is released, it should be happening anytime now. I am a huge fan of FPS games, so it is probably surprising to know that this will be my first Doom game. I am assuming that it will be a lot like the first time I played Unreal Tournament, I immediately fell in love with that game. Fast paced shooter action makes me happy and I'm usually pretty awesome at it too. I cannot wait to play this at 120 fps, better be in 4K too. It will sit in my library until the PS5 version becomes available.

2. Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate

$40 — 134GB

This is another game that has continually slithered higher and higher towards the top of my wish list. I had the option of buying the Ultimate edition for $60. I instead bought the original game for only $15 and then paid $25 to upgrade that version with all of the dlc. Essentially getting the exact same Ultimate edition for only $40. This includes nearly 40 characters and tons of alternate costumes for customization. The main reason that I wanted to play this so badly is because I am excited for the Mortal Kombat movie in 4K on HBO max releasing April 23.

3. Injustice 2

$5 — 28GB

This is sort of a continuation of my desire to play Mortal Kombat. I saw Injustice 2 on sale for only $5, but it didn't come with any of the dlc ($40 additional.) I honestly didn't care too much about that since the original game has all of the best characters. I had such a great time with Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe back in 2008. Plus I really enjoyed playing the original Injustice that came out in 2013. Somehow I never played the sequel, now is the time. I think playing this game will also help me to familiarize myself with the DC heroes/villians a bit more. Since I recently subscribed to HBO Max, I have tons of DC Comics movies & tv shows to watch now.

4. Plants vs. Zombies: Battle For Neighborville

$10 — 13GB

I played the original Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare back in 2014, it was an absolute blast. The third-person online multiplayer shooter really felt good. The graphics were beautiful, characters creative, gameplay addicting, and the card collecting system was addicting. I never played GW2, which came out in 2016. The latest Plants vs. Zombies came out in 2019 and looks to be the most polished of the three. Hopefully I am as good as this one as I was the original. It reminds me of Call of Duty mixed with Star Wars Battlefront, but really there isn't a game exactly like this one.

5. Lichdom: Battlemage

$2 — 15GB

This was the most random game that I purchased. The two main factors for me getting this one was the price and uniqueness of the game. Its a first-person magic game where you dual-wield your supernatural powers. You mix and match different spells to create and endless amount of abilities. I had never heard of it before, but I felt the need to add it to my library.

6. Xenon Racer

$5 — 4GB

I love cars, there is no denying that. Another thing I really enjoy is the idea of a highly technological future. Meet Xenon Racer. I stumbled upon this game and thought I might as well get it. From the looks of things, it will be a lot like the arcade racers I remember playing as a kid. High speed with lots of drifting. Plus some gorgeous environments and interesting car mechanics; the vehicles morph as you go faster to increase aerodynamics.
