One of the most interesting system features of the next generation console Playstation 5 are the so-called “Activity“- special cards in a special section, allowing you to quickly move to different areas and tasks in the games, as well as clearly explaining how long it will take to complete.

Another part of the audience worries about the complexity of some projects, and they don’t really want to look for help in the vastness of the network (if you start browsing popular sites, you can easily stumble upon spoilers and ruin everything for yourself).
