Man, screw this trophy!

Platin #158 Astro’s Playroom

This one was really fun to play! It comes free with the PS5 and pretty much introduces the system and the controller itself, while diving into the history of Playstation. Quality wise it reminded me of the Super Mario Games due to the amount of detail and love that went into that game. It looks good, plays very well and and has awesome easter eggs all over the place. The platinum is rather easy/short and I wished they did some more speedrun courses, cause they were the best part for me and made even clearer how great Astro’s Playroom works as a plattfomer.

Platin #159 Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy

What a fun game! For like 70% of the time 😊 The start is exceptionally good, cause it captures the essence of the 80s so well! They manage to pull it off through the environment Peter Quill lives in, the music and especially because of the relationship between Peter and his mother. The actress behind her does a phenomenal job and I wished there were even more scenes with her. I don’t know exactly what it is. Her kindness, the way she talks, how she sees Peter? Nevertheless, the parts that take place on earth were the best thing about this game imo.

In space things are a little different. The party around Peter is well written too. They are funny, they have enough depth to care about them and after a while you forget about the movie interpretations and fully accept the game ones. I heard that some people didn’t like the constant talking of the party but I didn’t mind. Simply because they always had something to say which was fun to listen to.

The fighting was good but I thought that some button combinations were weird and never felt intuitive. Holding one button in order to press another for a special move just didn’t work that well in a fast paced fight and you have to fight a lot. I mean, a lot! Towards the end it became very annoying and every time you thought it was finally over another enemy wave came along and another and another … The same applied to the final boss. You reach him by fighting and you do nothing else but fighting. So, you are not even excited anymore about the final battle, cause you became tired of seeing the same moves over and over again.

Worst of all, Square combined that with the lamest looking levels. In general the game looks fantastic. If it wants to. Then you see very detailed and great characters and sceneries. Some are georgeous, where you just need to stop and want to take a screenshot but some are just plain boring, and washed out. In one level you walk through some kind of tunnel system which is just brown for an entirety of like 1.5 hours. In a game which takes place in space and has all the possibilities to show the weirdest and most beautiful looking things that was kinda disappointing.

So, it is not that easy to sum Guardians Of The Galaxy up. In general I think I had a good time with it? 😅 Just not throughout the whole game.

Man, I really wanna play Persona 3 eventually. But why do I need to play the whole game twice? 😅 Trophies like that are always weird when it comes to JRPGs. Playing through Uncharted two times? Sure! But massive games like that? Persona 3 will be a minimum of 200 hours.

#157 The Last Of Us Part I

Alright, my very first platinum for te PS5! I’ve played The Last Of Us back then for the PS3 and thought that it was a good game. Not „the game of a generation“ good but good. So I never understood all the hype throughout the years.

Anyway, I had the chance to borrow this game from my brother in law and not pay 80 bucks for it. I just wanted to fresh up my memory and play something rather quick and graphically impressing. And what can I say? I ended up liking it a lot more! The characters felt way closer to me and I just liked how they behaved, talked and in general, how they were designed. The way how Joel and Ellie got attached to eachother was done beautifully. On top of that I liked the environments and the art style of the game.

Gameplay wise it is okay and I thought Part II was better in that regard. I didn’t like the ending in 2013 and I still don’t like it. Not from a story perspective but rather how it was executed. However, great (2nd) experience and a good PS5 game.

I played The Walking Dead: The Last Frontier the other day and my god how bad was that entry? The main character sucked big time, Clementine became a side character, I couldn't care less about the cast and the zombies were barely a thread to anyone. It was quite the opposite. They only had the purpose to make the main character look cool when he killed countless of them with no effort and plain headshots. So many dumb dialoges and decisions too. And the PS5 even crashed two times. I guess that game was just too demanding .

Are there any shared PS4 and PS5 trophy lists or are they always separated? Some games combined PS3/PS4/PS Vita games but I think I never saw a PS4/PS5 list. 🤔
