A side note about Little Nightmares 2, I platinumed this at 12:46am on the 1st of Jan my time (AEDT), for other parts of the world I think this will show up as some time on the 31st of Dec, so I'm not sure if this is ok for the challenge, could a mod let me know If I need to change it? Thanks.

Welcome to the challenge! List and badges look great. You also qualify for the Masochist because Crash and Wolfenstein 2 both can count as 10s. And yes your Little Nightmares 2 platinum counts since it was Jan 1st in your timezone Good luck!

[L0sT_NZ_Kazekage]

Sounds fun! I'd be keen on entering.

I platinumed Coffee Talk yesterday (1st Jan here in NZ) can I use that? Cheers! I'll make a list shortly

Awesome thanks! I thought I might qualify for Masochist cause I remembered that somewhere had crash as a 10/10 but didn't know where and couldn't be bothered finding it. Thanks for that : )

Rummaging around playstationtrophies.org I found two more 10/10 games that I haven't seen anyone add to their lists so I'll throw them up here and put them in the Resources tab of the main post just in case anyone's interested.

 

Mega Man 11

 

Red Dead Redemption 2

Wow!  That many people think RDR2 is a 10/10 difficulty!  I got the Platinum a few weeks ago on that and i cant for the life of me think what qualifies it for more than a 5/10.  I think a lot of people must be confusing the long grind as being difficulty as it sure is a grindy game that will take a long time but there is nothing actually hard in it. Its one of my Favorite games of all time tho and i encourage everyone to Platinum the game.  What a great 10/10 find for this challenge tho, for those choosing to take advantage i hope you enjoy the game as much as i did, I loved every single minute of it.

Badges look good except for Aware Winner. The Final Fantasy VII Remake guide just has the blue EHQ award, not one of the Guide of the Year awards. For a list of all Guide of the Year award winning games/guides, check out the Award Winner badge’s section in the Badge Clarifications tab on the main post

First game down, working my way through the second one. If it weren't for the ability to fast forward through all the dialogue in Persona 5 Royal, I wouldn't be anywhere near where I am.

@LancashireLad87 We have our first Bronze tier finisher! Great job man! You didn't list any badges so I did a quick pass to see which ones you qualify for. If you qualify for more just let me know which ones. Being the first Bronze finisher you're on your way towards the  FIRST! badge...just 3 games to go to Platinum tier! Good job on UMvC3! I got that one a few years ago so I know it's a TRUE 10/10!!!

Would celeste technically be considered a 10/10?

 

In the description at "stage 3" the psnprofiles guide says 

 

"Wrong! These are really, really hard, earning this game a 10/10 Difficulty"

Okay, let's see if this year I can complete at least the first list of games:

1/10 Burly Men at Sea

2/10 Among Us (PlatPrices)

3/10 Minecraft

4/10 Heavenly Bodies

5/10 Darksiders 2

6/10 Shadow of the Colossus

7/10 Bloodborne

8/10 Slay the Spire

9/10 The Witness (PlayStationTrophies)

10/10 Trackmania Turbo (PlatPrices)

I believe I can get  Above and Beyond (75-100 hours counts?) with Trackmania Turbo, along with   Mad Skillz ,  Award winner with Bloodborne and a couple of them qualify for  Finally! Also, every game is on PS4, so I'll get  PS4 Master too. Now I guess it should be all of them, but I might change something during the year if something nice comes out

Got Heavenly Bodies done, gotta admit that I didn't like it that much but still managed to spend those 6ish hours on it. Also I somehow forgot that I'm still grinding Awesomeness on Rayman Legends, which can be counted as a 5 or a 6 and will replace one between Darksiders2 or Shadow of the Colossus, I'll decide when the moment will come.

[Ben25BBB]

Excited to join again, hoping to beat Silver Tier this year which I got to last year!

 

Here's my potential list for now, but as with last year I'm expecting this to change a lot throughout the year:

 

 1/10 - Life is Strange: True Colours 

 2/10 - A Way Out

 3/10 - Spider-Man: Miles Morales 

 4/10 - God of War: Ragnarök 

 5/10 - Uncharted 4

 6/10 - Hades

 7/10 - Bastion

 8/10 - Dark Souls Remastered

 9/10 - Returnal 

 10/10 - TBD

 

And some badges I currently plan to aim for: 

•  Award Winner - Hades
•  Finally! - Bastion
•  Murica - Life is Strange: True Colours
•  PS5 Master

Hello Everyone, 

 

Sorry for the late reply about my progress as I have been busy with other stuff.

 

I managed to finish both F.E.A.R 3 (PS3) and Ark Survival Evolved (PS4) yesterday!

 

It is both my 7 and 8 respectively on my platinum challenge list, which means I have 2/10 games done for this list.

 

In terms of F.E.A.R 3, most of the game was quite doable but insane mode and 20 waves of contractions makes this plat very hard to get.

 

For Ark Survival Evolved, it wasn't too bad except for the explorer notes which was annoying even though it isn't required for platinum but I really wanted that plat and 100%. The game did crash for me as well, which was annoying.

 

I am also changing my 9/10 to Celeste for PS4 but thankfully, it doesn't change the badges I would get from my original post. I will have the guide I will be using in the list below:

 

1/10 – Persona 5 Royal (PS5) 

2/10 – Pantsu Hunter: Back to the 90s (EU Version) (PS4) 

3/10 – Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (NA Version) (PS4) 

4/10 – Persona 4 Dancing All Night (NA Version) (PS Vita)

5/10 –  KILL LA KILL - IF (PS4) 

6/10 –  Superliminal (PS4)

7/10 – F.E.A.R 3 (PS3) (DONE)

8/10 – Ark Survival Evolved (PS4) (DONE)

9/10 – Celeste (PS4) (https://www.playstationtrophies.org/forum/topic/304339-celeste-trophy-guide-and-roadmap/)

10/10 – SEGA Mega Drive & Genesis Classics (PS4) 

 

I am going to do Bayonetta on PS4 for my 9/10 in my second list, which will be posted after completion of this list.

 

I hope to get another game done soon!
