It's a mystery dungeon style game that's on the easy side. You can get OP very quickly in this unlike other games in the genre. You also have to babysit an NPC every now and then, which is the game's main gimmick. Recommend picking it up if you like these kinda games or want to get into the genre but are intimidated by the difficulty of other similar games (i.e. Shiren)

Timestamps and what to do for the more obscure trophies are listed in the video description.

Can vouch for its legitimacy. Flag should be lifted.

Disgaea 4 Return (Vita) 1st plat of the year. I'm looking to play more JP games this year, so I figured I'd start with a game I'm familiar with. 4th time getting this platinum overall, which takes care of all Vita versions of this game for me.

Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate. Last plat to wrap up the year, and boy is this one a doozy. One of the hardest, if not the hardest, RPGs on the Vita. A roguelike where the developers want to make the players suffer and really went out of their way to drive that point home. You have enemies that spam status effects that incapacitate you, and they can do this as much as they want with no cooldown period whatsoever. There's enemies that can attack you with fixed damage that can go as high as 50 from anywhere on the map, in a game where having 200 HP is considered 'high' by the game's standard. There's enemies that innately act 2 times for every 1 of your own actions, often with high attack power to boot. That's not even mentioning the enemies that inflict permanent stat drops and can do nasty things to those lovely equips that you spent several hours building up to godly status. Nothing is safe. Of course, there are ways to get around these powerful enemies, but that's assuming you managed to find that one item out of several hundred throughout your current expedition, and most new expeditions start with all items unidentified, so you'll need to waste some resources to even figure out if you have the proper items. A lot of the challenge in this one comes from the dungeons where you can't take a single item with you and have to use what you find in the dungeon itself to survive. Definitely recommend to people who like that thrill of conquering a challenge after dying over and over again, because that's what this game will do to you.

Vita Physical copies from LRG still exist.

Mad Rat Dead A wonderful gem that came out last week. If you like rhythm games and platformers, this one's probably up your alley. Obtaining platinum is a decent challenge too.

If you really want to get the first achiever that badly, there are hundreds of games out there where that's still possible. No need to bitch about people platting early due to getting review copies when there are plenty of other games out there ripe for the taking. Heck, if someone really put in some effort, they could get review copies too. I actually could've gotten a review code for this, but opted not to.

I often used to get trophy requests from randoms and it got to the point where I ended up restricting who can message me on PSN. I think I'm better off having done that.

greenzsaber Dragon Fantasy: Volumes of Westeria This game is split up into 5 subsections. It is possible to make separate saves before triggering any of the trophies (so you can do things like grind 25k gold and still be at 0% trophies), then just trigger them all in quick succession, which is what I've done for all but one section. The ONLY one that you can't do this on is Ogden's story, where High-tech Weaponry is unavoidable.

Dungeon Travelers 2 Finally decided to give this game a shot after having it for years. The 20000 kills may seem daunting, but it turns out it's easy to get 20-25 kills per minute with the right setup. Game was overall alright, but relies too much on status effects to give a semblance of difficulty
