Platinum #157
🌲 The Forest 🌲
This one took me quite awhile to plat considering I played it right when it first came out back in '18 and back then I didn't really trophy hunt to the extent I do now. I love this game all around and as far as survival horror games go, this one is top of the food chain in my eyes. This game also hold the title of being the ONE game that hooked me into the genre to begin with, can't get enough of these survival horror games on Steam now. I came back to it after about 3 1/2 years to help a buddy of mine out with it (he's never really played any game in the genre before this), and I figured with the sequel "Sons of the Forest" dropping in October (hopefully) I may as well grab the plat since it's an ultra rare and the game is amazing. This is also one of the few games I didn't mind double dipping with the pc version cause I wanted to play it with mods as well and it doesn't disappoint.
This game perfectly encapsulates the feeling one would have if you were stranded on an island with literally nothing but the clothes on your back and said island happens to be inhabited by crazy af tribal cannibals that are constantly trying to eat your face lol. This game scared the shit outta me more times than I can count and I was about it. If anyone's ever seen the Eli Roth film "The Green Inferno" this game is what it would be like to play in that world, but you're not some useless college kid that ties yourself to a tree like a hippy and just dies and you can actually defend yourself against cannibals lol.

If I wasn't so heavily invested in console gaming I would have probably already given up and gone full PC master race mode by now, but I always get that trophy hunting itch after too much time away from my Playstations. Steam has all the best survival/survival horror games (SCUM has fully engulfed me this time around) which are my guilty pleasures and my go to's when I'm taking a break from the trophy hunting grind (also Skater XL fully modded out), which is what I'm doing currently while my gf borrows my PS5.
Initially she was wanting to borrow it to play Death Stranding, presumably because Norman Reedus is hot and he's shirtless a lot in that game I guess lol. I asked her if she's ever played a Kojima game before, she said she hadn't. I told her she probably won't like it cause Kojima games are all over the place and have that certain hit or miss type of thing going for it for new players that aren't familiar with his style of games. She made it a total of 2 days before telling me DS is simultaneously the best looking game she's ever played while also being the most boring shit ever 😂 I'll give her credit for making it 1 whole day longer than I had initially guessed though lol.
GF is a total anime weeb so I recommended she try out Scarlet Nexus instead. Now shes balls deep in that game and the companion anime series that released along side of it last year haha. At least shes having fun now and that's all that matters in the end.

@AJ_Radio I've got all but the Xbox cause my pc is capable of running whatever Microsoft games end up coming out that I'll be interested in playing. Personally I haven't seen anything that would even make me consider subbing to Gamepass rn with how crazy my backlog is on just the Sony side of things alone. Maybe it'll be Starfield if it actually ends up coming out this year?
@Darling Baphomet I try not to go too deep into the modding side of most games, the time I spent just browsing the modding sections of Fallout and Skyrim (there's soo many mods to chose from) alone without even playing the games is ridiculous so I feel you on that lol. It can get pretty overwhelming so I just try and get the ones I want and get out so I can get to playing.
@nestamar5 No worries, can't win them all. I kinda figured she wouldn't dig it beforehand judging by the types of games she normally plays. She's got Scarlet Nexus to get down on so she'll be alright👌 Plus she doesn't give a shit about trophies so shes fine with just abandoning games. If it were me though, I'm at the very least beating the game even if I hate it just to maximize the trophy count/completion before abandoning it 😂

I am in the same boat, as much as I love PS for it's trophy hunting, convenient console gaming, PSVR, epic (not that one) exclusives I really want to build a proper gaming rig once I have money and parts availability to do it. I have a borrowed PC right now and it's fantastic, immediately subscribed for PC game pass and I have been on strategy games binge ever since. Although I still juggle PS and PC pretty well if I have to say so myself, but it's nice to have options.
If it was up to me I'd get all available consoles and PC as well to have access to all games because in the end, I love gaming as a whole, not just some of it. Then again, have to be sensible with my money and all that nonsense.

Finally ended up getting this Vita Means Life book I helped Kickstart late last year. Looks and feels like a quality book and I can't wait to dig into it soon. I forgot it was coming with a VitaZine and a little mini collector's handbook as well which are also both really nice quality.
Sandeep Rai is the real MVP here with this one, thanks for giving enough of a shit about about the Vita when most wanted to forget about it (...Sony *COUGH). \m/
