- 11846I have pre-ordered this at full price, i.e. 529 DKK.

- 11856This game is very good so far. I'm so happy that a game like this exists in 2021. Every choice made so far is something that appeals to me. The Alien-esque visual aesthetics, the dark atmospheric music, a world where you are utterly alone, with almost no dialogue, the complicated and lightning-fast action, and a mysterious story that hints at a huge sci fi mystery. And this is a big expensive game as well. Amazing.
- 11857I need to figure out what the door shapes mean on the map.
- 11858Another question: is weapon proficiency permanent?
- 11873After watching Malu play two very long runs where she got to the boss of the first area, I played a single run before going to bed. I ended up doing pretty well myself, I got the sword, found the surreal house and entered it, and fought the boss twice. I'll get him next time.
- 11874I had a really good run and managed to beat Phrike. My pulse is pounding like crazy. This game is one of the most stressful experiences since playing the Souls games for the first time.
- 11875I died in the red desert, but I feel great about beating the first area.
- 11876I completed a daily challenge run with 409.408 points, which is rank 4100 out of 7697 playing today.
- 11880I did another run in the red desert. I reached the end boss, a horrible warped angelic creature.
- 11883I reached the second boss, Ixion twice, and died twice. If only I had had a Astronaut figurine.
- 11885Got the Ascension trophy. - I played a very intense run where I ended up in the Crimson Wastes with low health but a whole bunch of good upgrades and a good weapon. I found the shop but didn't have enough Obolites to get a health Consumable. After running all over, I managed to find enough Obolites in rocks to buy it, and I went to fight the boss, IXION. I managed to beat it, and got the Grapnel upgrade. I immediately flung myself down from the mountain and died. But the Grapnel is a permanent upgrade.
- 11886I visited Martin and played some Returnal on his awesome surround sound setup. It was cool to hear the bullets impact behind me.
- 11887I had to go back to the Crimson Wastes to proceed to the new area, the Derelict Citadel, which is an cool looking place full of robots.
- 11937Exploring the Derelict Citadel, I entered a 'treasure room' with an astronaut looking down from above, and then a giant astronaut-looking robot appeared and destroyed me. They are called 'Automatons'.
- 11934I got killed by the horrible rocket drones in the Citadel. I hate them, they are even worse than the vampires from the first area.
- 11935I managed to permanently activate the bridge to the Tower, but didn't reach the boss.
- 11936I reached NEMESIS and reached the second stage. This boss fight is very stressful.
- 11943I did a run and heartbreakingly reached the third stage and died to yellow laserbeams.
- 11924Erik visited and tried playing this game from the beginning.
- 11938Got the Failed Escape trophy. - I beat NEMESIS and finished Act 1/3. Selene escaped and lived a full life on earth, dying of old age, only to experience the horror of reviving on Atropos. Seemingly, a lot of time has passed. I kept playing through the first new level and entered the house, where I played an amazing sequence where you play as Selene's child playing Returnal on her PS5. The number 836 seems to be significant. I encountered the boss of this area, an alien organist. I'm more convinced than ever that the creatures are somehow created by Selene or her daughter.
- 11939This one game lasted 4 hours and 44 minutes!!!
- 11968Got the Silence the Song trophy. - I defeated HYPERION with a level 20 ROTGLAND LOBBER! It's very useful for me to be able to deal damage over time while I'm dodging all the bullets. Now I have access to the FRACTURED WASTES, which is very exciting.
- 11944Completed the game (Act 2). With pounding heart and bated breath (and really, really wanting to go to the bathroom), I went into the depths for the first time and beat Ophion on my first attempt. Now I understand all the cutscenes, but I'm still not sure what happened. Need to complete Act 3, I guess.
- 11948I got the first Sunface Fragment from Overgrown Ruins.
- 11949Got the Past the Ruins trophy. - Finished the survey of Overgrown Ruins. I think this is determined by finding all the Scout Logs.
- 11979I found the Sunface Fragments in Biome 3, 4, and 5 tonight. Only missing the Abyssal Scar one now, but I get smoked every time I enter this level, I need to be very careful.
- 11978Trophy shopping list:
- Finish Crimson Wastes survey
- Finish Derelict Citadel survey
- Finish Echoing Ruins survey
- Finish Fractured Wastes survey
- Finish Abyssal Scar surver
- 'White Shadow' for finishing Act 3 and 'Sins of the Mother', which both should happen after finding all Sunface Fragments and entering the House one last time
- 12007Got the Sins of the Mother trophy. - We found the final Sunface Fragment in the Abyss, and went back to the house. In the basement there was a wheelchair, and Selene seems to imply that she was afraid of her mother, even though she was crippled after the accident. The artifact you find after this sequence is a melted globe. I think Selene burnt down the house, possibly with her mother inside.
- 12008I now have a Car Key, and I think I'm supposed to beat the final boss again. I had an amazing run through levels 4-5, and then my PS5 hard crashed and turned itself off. It was a little heartbreaking after playing for hours. I guess I'll just try again.
- 12009I finished a few surveys, no I'm only missing Crimson Wastes, Derelict Citadel, Fractured Wastes, and Abyssal Scar.
- 12016Malu and I played for two hours, without even reaching the last level. I have to be more careful in the Fractured Wastes, I keep dying there.
