Cities: Skylines done. It's been a while since my last city building game. 23 years to be exact, on the PC namely Pharao by Sierra. Building monumentes in it was so cool. Was a lot of fun back then and Cities Skylines is very good too. Maybe I'll recreate my hometown for fun. Praise Osiris!

Well, after a bit of a gaming hiatus, I am back with another toughy of a plat (a week late on the update though). I changed The Forgotten City out for Webbed and while some would argue that the 2/10 is an appropriate score, having arachnophobia easily bumps it up to at least a 9 or a 10, my god! I was screaming the whole way through this adorable, horror infested eight legged freak of a platformer. 

 

1/10 - Oxenfree

2/10 -  Webbed (10/6)

3/10 - Crosscode

4/10 - Bully

5/10 - Salt & Sanctuary

6/10 - Hades

7/10 - Rain World

8/10 - Doom (1993) (23/2)

9/10 - Splasher 

10/10 - Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (19/1)

Finished Claire for my 1/10. This is an easy game, but definitely not a 1/10 so please don't buy this game thinking you're going to get a VN/EZPZ level difficulty lol. It's also nowhere near the 37.5 - 50 hour time estimate given by PlatPrices. Great game though.

 

1/10 - Claire (PlatPrices)

2/10 - Sly Cooper and the Thievius Racoonus (PSNP)

3/10 - Kill la Kill: IF (PlatGet)

4/10 - Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[cl-r] (PST)

5/10 - Jump Force (PSNP)

6/10 - Dead or Alive Xtreme 3: Fortune (PlatPrices)

7/10 - Yakuza 0 (PSNP)

8/10 -  Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite (PST)

9/10 - 

10/10 - Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout (PST)

 

Going to do Arcana Heart 3 for my 9/10. Probably not any time soon though. Been playing a lot of hard and/or grindy games lately and I need a break. ?

@Rebourne07 since as I’m constantly picking up games in the sales and being a typical indecisive gamer, if I was to platinum games that are not on my list for the event, am I able to just switch them out upon completion or would I need to post in here before popping the platinum? 
 

If I can avoid reposting lists and low key just rotate games in and out upon completion, that would be awesome. It appears from following along that this is fine but doesn’t hurt to double check!

I’ve done this with virtually every entry on my list - my gaming ADHD cannot be contained by mere predictions ?

Glad I’m not alone! I really struggle to stick to lists ?

 

I will join you then, in this uncontainable madness that is gaming ADHD ??

Got 2/10, as a long Ratchet&Clank fan I really enjoyed the game and especially the graphics, but compared to the older games I think it was a little too short and had less content.

Overall still a great game, hopefully they will make another one.

Now for the last trophy and the platinum badge is mine!

Cheers

Yeah man you can switch games whenever you want and don't have to report or explain any switches.

Sup @D-E-U-S-X, where'd you find Injustice as an 8/10? Lowest I'm able to find it is a 9/10. Most sites have it as a 10/10. If you wanna use it as your 8 I need a link to a guide or average rating that comes out to 8 so I can link it on the main post since you just hit bronze tier

 

Also congratulations to @Syr_Rys on Gold and @Yuber6969 on Gold x2!

Yakuza wasn't as difficult as I was expecting, very time consuming with too much RNG though, I now see why people say it's a bad platinum for a great game

Mass Effect Andromeda ~ Andromeda's Finest
 

Platinum #238! 7/10 Difficulty 

Now I've hit Gold tier and with that I have EVERY trophy in the entire Mass Effect Series!!! Super stoked about that. I trophy hunt by series and this is the 4th series I've completed 100% (shameless plug for my trophy checklist linked in my signature). Loved this game. People give it crap and to be honest if I'd played it at launch I might not have liked it either...I've seen the hilarious YouTube videos...but playing it after all the updates its a great game that just lacked polish. I hope the new Mass Effect at least pays some tribute to Andromeda and doesn't completely throw it under the bus. 

 

   1/10 - Batman Batman: The Enemy Within (PlatPrices) [January 12th]

   2/10 - Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart (PSNProfiles) [January 28th]

   3/10 - It Takes Two (PlatPrices) [April 30th]

   4/10 - Horizon: Forbidden West  (PSNProfiles) [March 28th]

   5/10 - Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin (PSNProfiles) [May 1st]

   6/10 - Sackboy: A Big Adventure (PSNProfiles) [May 21st]

   7/10 - Mass Effect Andromeda (PlatPrices) [June 21st]

   8/10 - Elden Ring (PlatPrices) [April 23rd]

   9/10 - Returnal (PlatPrices)

   10/10 - Fall Guys (PlayStationTrophies) [April 11th]

 

My final game of the challenge will be Returnal and I'm planning on making it platinum #250 as a milestone so it'll be a while before my next update. Gonna work on a few other games like some PS1 classics and some shorter titles for the A-Z challenge and Platinum Every Genre challenge. Also helping my wife with her challenge since her 5/10 is Resogun so we'll do some trophies on that co-op. 

 

Also want to congratulate @MD_91 and @DoctorDrPepper on Silver tier and @Mizz on Gold tier!

Okay, I wasn't planning on it, but I've been having a weird time trying to get a 6/10 - I didn't care much for Solar Ash and didn't finish, Slay the Spire was a 7/10, Resident Evil VII was a 5/10 or a 7/10 depending on where I looked, (with dlc at a 7/10)... but nothing was threading that needle...

 

...so screw it, I'm using Resident Evil 2 Remake.

 

Technically a partial auto-pop (did one playthrough this time, then topped it up with time-already-served), but it's a 6/10 in the guide, and dammit - I did that stuff on PS4... and this time it falls in the right year! ?

 

If that's not allowed, let me know, and I'll grumble a bit to myself about how life is unfair, kick some rocks, then begrudgingly remove it... ?

Hi guys! I am back from vacation and got a 1/10 done

 

1 - Unpacking

2 - Olympic Games: Tokyo 2020

3 - The Caligula Effect: Overdose

4 - Guilty Gear: Strive

5 - Sonic Forces

6 - Dissidia Final Fantasy NT

Updating to bronze tier!

 

 1/10 - Shape of the World

 2/10 - The Pathless

 3/10 - Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

 4/10 - Tormented Souls

 5/10 - Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves

 6/10 - Solar Ash

 7/10 - Kena: Bridge of Spirits

 8/10 - Elden Ring

 9/10 - Returnal 

 10/10 - Devil May Cry 5

 

Shape of the World gave me some Journey vibes. Not as brilliant but the music, the colours, the exploring. It was a really nice psychedelic meditation.

So that leaves Solar Ash, Returnal and Devil May Cry. Not sure which one to go for first. Maybe play all three and see whichever gets there first (hopefully this year ?).

 

 

@Rebourne07 Congratulations with over 1000 posts. Fun event, let us go to 2000 ?. Also congrats with the whole Mass Effect platinum journey. I liked the entire saga too.
