a long silent trek along a single-textured canyon. no palpable sign of your advancement but the slow-creeping growth of a massive structure in the distance. as you finally round the corner and view the structure in its totality, you marvel at about two dozen polygons—together representing an airship in the shape of a duck. you turn around. you consider the road back to the level EXIT sign. twenty minutes of have passed since you last saw it. twenty minutes idly holding the analog stick forward, occasionally dodge-rolling to break the monotony. refusing to dodge-roll for a few moments when the sticky momentum stop at the end of the roll animation begins to bother you at the base of your skull. you consider dodge-rolling all the way back. you turn back around. you stick-press a little closer to the airship duck. a gold playstation trophy dings into the upper right corner. a platinum playstation trophy alights in its place a moment later. you pause the game. you quit to the menu. you go do something else.

all this and more can be yours for only .49 USD.

i’m really getting my money’s worth out of this new PS5
