Platinum #193 - Kingdom Hearts 3

Enjoyment - 8/10

Difficulty - 3/10

This will be spoiler free by the way.. I'd been waiting nearly 15 years for this game to come out so as soon as I got my hands on it I literally dropped everything else and played it non stop until I had the platinum  The presentation of the game is actually perfect, it's literally like playing through a giant Disney movie and it's definitely on the top of my list for one of the most stunning games i've ever seen, I was playing it on a 4K Tv and it was very close to looking like the entire game was animated by Pixar, it was that good. 

Unfortunately the game itself was far too easy. I did my story mode playthrough on the hardest difficulty (which is proud, critical difficulty will be added as DLC later) and with zero xp so I would be level 1 the entire time and even with those handicaps I can only think of one occasion where I got stuck and even then it wasn't even for very long. It's never a good thing when you breeze through the game on the hardest difficulty. There were also a stupid amount of cutscenes, to the point where it felt like 70% of the game was just made of cutscenes, I feel like if you skip them all you could literally beat the game in under 5 hours. Personally I don't find any of this to be too big a problem though, because the game itself is so gorgeous that you just completely forget about all of the problems you might have with the game while playing through it. 

Overall I had a great time with this, far too easy but the combat and presentation of the game was extremely satisfying at the same time. If you just want something casual to play or to give yourself some complete and utter eye candy for 60 hours then you should definitely play this game.

I should really complete those guides I was meant to be working on.. 

Platinum #191 - Atari Flashback Classics Vol.3

Difficulty - 10/10

Enjoyment - 8/10

So I ended up being the first achiever for this game, feels great.. I hate giving games a 10 rating for difficulty just based on one trophy but I don't even feel bad about it in this case.. Games like air raiders, star raiders and avalanche were tough but fair for the most part and doable, but beating all 32 levels in Xari arena was just something else.. This is easily the hardest collection out of the 3 to 100% and arguably one of the hardest platinums i've ever done just because of Xari arena (and if anyone is curious, yes, it was harder than Meat Boy.)

I was quite disappointed with the selection of games on this collection though, as half of them were sports games and i'm not really a big fan of those, despite that there are some gems on it which i'll likely go back and play at some point. Very proud of this one, this took me a long time to finish.

Atari Flashback Vol. 3: Okay, Xari arena is actually ridiculously hard to beat, easily the most difficult trophy on any of these collections.. It's no wonder that this game never got released

This last trophy on Atari Vol.3 is an absolute pain in the ass...
