Well, this is one of the rare weeks where I am not playing anything on Nintendo consoles (well, just Switch, in my case).

Finished Remnant: From the Ashes. Really liked the game, and they say Remnant 2 is even better. So, adding that to my wishlist.

After finishing Remnant, I was feeling like playing some action oriented game, so instead of going back to my paused games, started going through my backlog to see what clicks and ended up starting Ghost of Tsushima. It’s a really good game. Visuals are fantastic, game looks absolutely stunning. Combat is fluid. And on PS5, there are no loading screens. Not when starting the game, or when fast traveling. Feels nice.

What about all of you? What have you guys been playing? And what are you planning to start next?

    How did you like Caligual Effect?

    Heh, that is an interesting way to do things. Could be some publisher / marketing thing. They probably made the full game, but then someone decided making the opening cutscene in English would attract more people or something. Or maybe they changed the plans. Would be interesting to know what actually happened.

    So, there’s an actual achievement which require you to leave your shampoo in your inventory for 336 hours? Or just trying to show the outrageous nature of achievements?

      The achievement is to have all Magnus (cards) in your collection. Some cards evolve over time, like fresh green bananas that deal damage becoming regular bananas that heal and later spotty bananas that deal damage again. The shampoo card is one that, in its description, says you should try using it for two weeks. And they mean that literally. If you have that card for 336 hours, it transforms into a card called ‘Splendid Hair’. It’s not even a useful card, it just also unlocks the last few tracks in the music collection for some reason. It’s legendary in how stupid it is.

      And yes, there are 100% speedruns of the game that take slightly over two weeks!

      Caligula was okay. I enjoyed the plot of the first one more, but the sequel was a lot easier to complete all sidequests in. For the record, the first game had over 500 NPCs each with a quest and most of them were roaming around certain areas, whereas the sequel has far less and you can easily look up where they are.
