Gaming is a fantastic hobby with tons of great games, but lately there’s been a lot to frustrate players.

Let’s explore what gamers are collectively getting tired of seeing in video games and the industry as a whole.

While Hytale is successful on its own, it’s noticeable that it shares similarities with Minecraft, and the two games are being compared.

PlayStation Plus has different levels of service. The basic ‘Essential’ tier gives you access to games that stay available as long as you remain a subscriber – they’re like free games you can keep playing.

PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium usually get a big update with new games every month, and the next update is scheduled for January 20th.
