GoonerLukeThe Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Found it on my download list (must have paid for it in the past, but honestly don't remember buying it) I'm following a guide but it's just so boring, pretty much 2-3 minutes for each crossword and in total it has over 300, I just know the time will drag and honestly it's not exactly an impressive plat to have wish I never downloaded it in the first place, I might just do a couple of categories each day so it's less boring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 this type of game is not ideal for a ps4-5, but it should be more fun if it weren't for the need for a guide. I know 99% of the people who play this are exclusively aiming for the platinum trophy, and therefore they will make this process easier by any means, but it sure makes the process more boring albeit faster.

Popular Post adam1984123 Posted June 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2021 I played this with my (then) 8 year old. It was heaps of fun doing a couple of word searches a day and educational for her at the same time. Find a young relative to play together, and work through it slowly without a guide. Will be a far more enjoyable experience. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Hence why the Platinum rank is around 50% probably-so IMO, it’s not an entirely un-impressive Platinum either). I agree with @DrBloodmoney and @kevao97 though, I think you’d be less bored if you stopped using the guide. Unless you just loathe word searches, that is. @adam1984123 Good idea, could also be fun with an older relative IMO!

I should add - to the OP - I wasn't trying to be edgy or derivative - I totally understand the temptation to try to just guide-style your way through the game if you're not having fun, simply because it's faster, but the problem with that it, that means it will remain boring for the duration. Playing as intended, you might end up coming to quite like the game - it can happen sometimes! Edited June 8, 2021 by DrBloodmoney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_On_Tinder Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 It's just a word search, my dude. We can get through this together. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShahinMiah Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) Yeah it takes a long time. I think it took me over a month to get the Platinum just because I’d probably do 1-5 puzzles a day. After that it just gets boring and you really cba so I usually left it to do it after a gaming session and then get off. Best way to go about it. Don’t bore yourself out to death. It only takes a couple mins to do two of them so do it like how I did and leave it until you’ve actually finished gaming. Think of this game as a chore you need to complete after everything else and you’ll be done hopefully soon Edited June 8, 2021 by ShahinMiah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roronora_Zoro666 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I guess I’m the only one who enjoys word searches. I bought this game to play at work on my vita and did just that during my breaks. Not sure how it works on console, but it’s still a very nice casual experience, really wish they added more difficult word searches though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one requires to have all the puzzles done and with word search you still need to fill out the grid, which can take a bit. The rest doesn't require that and is more focused on completing certain puzzles. Which the guide tells and therefore those Plats are very fast. I won't call it an impressive Plat though. Its just grind, you have to either like word search or have the patience to go through this grind. In my opinion, Word search is the shittiest magazine puzzle ever as it requires almost no skill of figuring out. In the end every dummy can finish a word search, but not everyone can finish a Swedish puzzle or a sudoku. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play it without a guide, that would be too boring for me. I will definitely only platinum the Vita version, I won't invest that much time with my PS 4 version. With the Vita, always a little progress on vacation or when I'm on a trip, I'll manage that, maybe next year or 2023 I'll have the Platinum for this game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripple_Barnett Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I used to do Word Searches a lot as a kid. Over 300 word searches was a lot so I just took a really long break and came back to it eventually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to ask the same thing - I didn’t realise that was what those were called! It may just be a Dutch thing, but I’ll be using it from now on, as it’s catchier than “those-wierd-crosswords-that-aren’t-crosswords-and-don’t-have-the-black-squares-but-the-clues-are-in-arrows” ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvoryRose88 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Its ironic i ran across this thread today. Juat yesterday my 7 yr old daughter asked if she could play this game on her profile. I noticed it was in my already downloaded list. I guess i never started it because of how long it would take to platinum for a word search game. I woke up this morning to find 1 trophy popped on my account as my daughter forgot to chage over to her account. Lol. Of all the powgi games to pick.... she pivked this one. Oh well. This will be one of those games that ill do a trophy a day until its done. It could be worse. They could add another DLC to conan exiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamemissy Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 So this is the only Powgi game I haven't got platinum for yet....installed it again and will do a few puzzles everyday to get this done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seqqeqeth Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I honestly felt the same. I did not expect to have to finish everything in the game, based off of previous powgi titles. I was just worn out (and possibly cross-eyed) after all this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkKratos Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I literally just got the platinum for this a few hours ago (PS4 EU stack). I started playing it about 4 years ago. I like puzzle games, but Word Search was a lot longer than I first realized. I think it's Powgi's longest puzzle game to date. A good buddy of mine helped me alot over time with it via share-play. This made it go faster and was more fun. And to think I still have the Vita EU and PS4 NA stacks to do. I now wish I never started those. Lmao I think Pic a Pix is worse. But that's just my opinion.
