Popular Post Mr_Wright95 Posted April 4 Popular Post Share Posted April 4 (edited) Accurate as of 28/04/24 Things to do: Completed Games Section with reviews Profile / Summary Welcome to my second (and hopefully final) trophy checklist on PSNP. My first thread "Tackling a Decade of Backlog" focussed heavily on my backlog of games but did not really focus on the games I had completed / my experiences with them. With that in mind I have taken some inspiration from some other trophy checklists on the site in an effort to expand on my original thread and flesh it out into a much better thread & reading experience. This thread will be updated as: games are completed, games are added to my backlog or as games are added to my wish list, with the top of this thread "Accurate as of …" being updated each update. With that being said lets get cracking! Platinums by Year Spoiler 2024 (So Far): 31 2023: 21 2022: 39 2021: 29 2020: 12 2019: 9 2018: 17 2017: 5 2016: 1 2015: 9 2014: 19 Clearly from 2021 onwards has been my most consistent years of trophy hunting, with 2024 off to a flying start. Let's hope I can continue the pace and smash my best year ever for Platinums & trophy hunting out of the water! Completed Games Reviews for each game will go underneath Spoiler 1-10 Spoiler 11-20 Spoiler 21-30 Spoiler 31-40 Spoiler 41-50 Spoiler 51-60 Spoiler 61-70 Spoiler 71-80 Spoiler 81-90 Spoiler 91-100 Spoiler 101-110 Spoiler 111-120 Spoiler 121-130 Spoiler 131-140 Spoiler 141-150 Spoiler 151-160 Spoiler 161-170 Spoiler 161 Spoiler 162 Spoiler 163 Spoiler 164 Spoiler 165 Spoiler 166 Spoiler 167 Spoiler Jak X Coming into this game I had read mixed reviews about this game. The consensus was that the AI was fairly cheesy and the game actually had a decent difficulty to it. With that being said (as someone who is not great at Kart Racers) I found this game relatively fair and enjoyable. Yes the AI can be a bit cheap and there are some levels that luck played a decent factor, but overall the races never felt unfair and the gameplay always felt good. This didn't really play like any other racing game that I can think of, off the top of my head, but definitely did not feel like a Kart Racer, which is great because I am terrible at those. Truth be told I really did enjoy this game and was pleased to have tidied up the entire Jak Franchise with trophies (until the new PS Classic got trophy support) This game definitely does not do enough to be in the fantastic tier, but sits firmly in the "Solid and Fun" tier and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys racing games. 168 Spoiler Marsupilami: Hoobadventure Truth be told for me, this game falls victim to expectations. This game should on paper be a game I enjoyed. It exists in a genre I love that is heavily represented towards the top of my tier list and so as such, suffers from the fact that it simply does not do anything as well as its contemporaries. The game is fairly simple, but with a surprisingly significant difficulty spike in the later levels coupled with the fairly basic level design until those later levels, I found myself forcing myself to play this rather than looking forward to it. I would probably recommend this game to a younger demographic (which makes sense since that is definitely the target demographic) except for the fact that those later levels genuinely do feel too hard for the demographic they seemed to be going for by how easy the earlier levels are. All that said, this game unfortunately ranks in the "Not my Cup of Tea" tier 169 Spoiler Tchia Welcome to "collectables the video game" That might seem like harsh criticism and it probably is but honestly the amount of collectibles this game asks you to collect relative to the length of the game is a joke. The game is for sure charming, has an awesome art style and truly feels like a love letter to New Caledonia which I think is awesome to see, but that doesn't mean this is a good game. I would say 75% of my entire playtime was spent gathering collectables which to me is beyond what should be realistically asked of a player. The story itself (however lacking) was decent and the games charm was certainly not lost on me though, so despite the sheer number of collectables I have this ranked at the very bottom of the "Pretty Good, Could be Better" tier. Truth be told I would argue that this probably isn't "Pretty Good" but it is marginally better than the games the lower tiers warrant and so as such I have ranked it there. 170 Spoiler Nobody Saves the World This game was absolutely fantastic. The story is fairly standard, but the gameplay mechanics are absolutely class. I enjoyed all aspects of this game in terms of characters having different abilities, having to use all characters for the platinum / to unlock other characters etc. Best of all this game had local Co-op which meant my partner and I could play through it together. Co-op made the game even more fun and made the platinum easier as well as the grind was being shared across 2 players (but carried over for player 1) The level design was excellent and the game genuine made me laugh at times. The game also has a decent level of challenge to it as well which felt great! Even needing to do a new game + run felt good and overall I cannot recommend this game more. It was so close to being in the top tier of my tier list but currently sits first in my secondary tier "Fantastic Games" The only thing that probably stopped this game from reaching the top tier was that the story felt fairly routine and predictable, but do not let that deter you as in terms of raw gameplay, this is one of the best games I have played in some time. 171-180 Spoiler 171 Spoiler Hot Shots Golf This was my first time playing the game that started it all in the Hot Shot / Everybody golf franchise. I must say that the game felt in every way possible worse than Hot Shot Golf 2 (which is probably to be expected since this was the original) yet not having the ability to fast forward my shots was borderline unbearable. With that being said the gameplay itself was fine and I enjoyed playing this from the perspective of its history. I have this ranked in the "Pretty Good, Could be Better" tier which I think has been proven given the improvements made by sequels in the franchise. This game is still worth playing though, just to reflect how far we have come. 172 Spoiler Powerwash Simulator I had heard really good things about this game and so decided to give it a go and I was pleasantly surprised. The game itself is a good way to switch off and have some easy and mindless fun. Overall I enjoyed my experience with this game, however the later few levels that were so massive did feel like a slog and tarnished the gameplay experience for me to an extent. The challenge mode within this game did not prove much difficulty for me so those were knocked out pretty quick. The sheer length of the game did start to wear thin on me however and I really started to dislike the game towards the end / felt like I was playing just to finish rather than to enjoy the game. It is pretty rare for me to complain that a game gives you more to do than less to do, however because of those longer levels and the drag at the end this game got dropped by 1 tier, into the "Pretty Good, Could be Better" tier. I feel like given the length and amount of levels something else was needed to keep those latter levels feeling fresh. 173 Spoiler Moving Out A great couch-coop experience which I am always grateful for. This game also added accessibility features which my partner and I appreciated as without them the game likely would have been a touch too difficult for her to enjoy. With those features enabled this became a fairly casual and fun game that had a lot of charm. There was still certainly moments that got a bit tedious or annoying, but overall we had a good time with it and are looking forward to playing the second one! I have this game ranked in the "Solid and Fun Games" tier. 174 Spoiler Unpacking This game for whatever reason just did not appeal to me. I had heard so many good things about it, but just did not enjoy it. I also thought it was a couch-coop game for some reason so when my partner and I sat down to play it and we realised it wasn't we both were quite disappointed. I can certainly see the charm and I think the way the story is told is very creative, but this just was not a game for me. I have this game ranked in the "Not My Cup of Tea" tier 175 Spoiler Deaths Door (PS4 Stack) This was my second time going through this game (please refer to review TBD) for the ranking of this game. With that being said, this is one of my favourite games ever and I wanted it to be a Milestone Plat so I ran through it again for Plat 175! 176 Spoiler Tinkyin This game exists in a genre I absolutely love, yet for whatever reason it did not grab me at first. Eventually I was able to get on board and did enjoy the game as a whole, but it is far to say that this was nothing special as far as the genre goes. Just a solid game that I have ranked in "Solid & Fun Games" tier 177 Spoiler Twisted Metal This game was a true throwback! Despite never playing this as a kid, it felt quintessentially like a PS1 game. There was absolutely no hand holding and the game just got straight to the task at hand. Without the replay feature and the cheats I could not imagine how hard this would have been to do back in the day. The game itself is good fun and once you get your head around the janky controls then you are in for a good time. This game is nothing special, especially by todays standards, but I enjoyed my whole experience with this one and have it ranked in the "Solid & Fun Games" tier 178 Spoiler Cursed to Golf: As a fairly big fan of the rogue-like / rogue-lite genre I quit liked the story this game was telling and the gameplay loop* (*initially) The gameplay itself is very good: Learning the new mechanics as you progress, finding more effective routes / methods and abilities that suit how you wish to play was extremely satisfying and enjoyable. Beating the game for the first time, much like many rogue-lite/likes is an experience worthy of a much higher tier than this game falls in however. This game is a buggy mess. I might have been unlucky however the Gold Idol trophy that was meant to be patched seems to still be glitched, turning a cumulative trophy into a single run trophy (unless this is by design, in which case it is extremely poorly worded) This glitch wasted 5-10+ hours of my life until I eventually managed to get this done in a single run. As you hit later runs (each run is recorded by an attempt) the game deteriorates into a buggy mess, causing me to soft lock many times and having to restart many runs. This is one of the few games were the gameplay is so good, but the game itself does so much wrong to take away from that experience due to bugs and poor design. Overall I have this game ranked in the "Pretty Good, Could be Better" tier which I think is fairly generous, however the highs of this game is comparable with games of a much higher tier, it is simply held back by what I have already mentioned 179 Spoiler Need for Speed: Unbound When the trophy list for this game was revealed I was super dissapointed by the trophy list. The inclusion of so many online trophies including one needing 8 players I felt would just be a Plat blocker for me. Thanks to a thread on this site though I realised it wouldn't be as bad as first thought and decided to give this game a crack. I am very glad that I did. This game felt great and a lot better than NFS Heat. The story in these games is often generic and I don't even hold that against the game, because being truthful you are not playing a NFS game for the story (at least I am not) Yet the racing in this game felt great. Really solid mechanically and the events also felt pretty good. The collectibles and trophy list did not outstay its welcome compared to other NFS games and the story whilst not really of any significance, felt a bit more engaging than Heat. This game sparked a big racing game itch for me and was overall fun, but certainly not the best in the franchise. With that being said I would recommend it to any racing fan. This game has been ranked in the "Solid & Fun Games" tier. 180 Spoiler Undertale This is a game I had heard great things about and for whatever reason did not resonate with me. The unique take on combat I thought was really creative and the game certainly has charm, but as a whole for whatever reason the game just did not click for me. There was a few moments that brought out a chuckle and a few story moments I quite enjoyed, but as a whole I simply did not really enjoy this game. Which I am a bit disappointed by because I wish I did enjoy it as much as others have. Based on this I have ranked it in the "Not my Cup of Tea" tier. 181-190 Spoiler 181 Spoiler Sackboy: A Big Adventure What a great game! First off this was my first introduction to the "Little Big Planet" universe however from the gameplay I have seen this feels like a very good platformer adaption of what those games used to be. The inclusion of couch-coop is always a feature I greatly love and appreciate as it enables me to spend more time playing games with my partner. The difficulty of most levels was fairly easy / balanced with this scaling over time as you progress through the game well. The collectibles and misc trophies also made the game more enjoyable and did not feel like a grind at all. This games challenge boils down to 2 trophies that are a fair grind and honestly quite difficult, but they never felt unfair. The satisfaction of getting through these difficult levels was great and really reminded me of other hard games I had to really work for in order to achieve. Based on all of this, this game has been ranked toward the top half of "Fantastic Games" 182 Spoiler Wreckfest: A solid racing game that drags a little towards the end when going for the Platinum. The off road driving felt great and the demolition derby unlocked a level of nostalgia in my brain from the PS1 Era. As a whole this was a pretty decent game. Nothing too exciting or exceptional, but solid throughout and easy mindless fun. Based on this I have ranked it towards the top of the "Pretty Good, Could be Better" The game suffers from a fair amount of repetitiveness which is a criticism that could be true for most racing games, but the 6-8x back to back events of the exact same course etc really started to suck towards the end. The more fun stuff such as the demolition derby game modes are also few and far between. 183 Spoiler Hello Neighbor 2 Despite being a free game on PS+ with a very short time to complete according to various guides, this game started off by pleasantly surprising me. Having never played Hello Neighbour 1 I felt this game built suspense really well and whilst a guide was more or less essential, I still got some enjoyment out of the game. Unfortunately bugs ran rampant for me with this game with so many crashes + my save corrupting forcing me to restart and do an entire playthrough in one sitting. (which still crashed) Based on that and the fact that the suspense and "fear" effect of this game does wear off fairly fast (and the ending was a bit all over the place) I have placed this in the "Not My Cup of Tea" tier. I contemplated it for Regret Playing, but ultimately only 1 restart due to bugs saved it from the bottom tier, had that happened again it would be towards the bottom. Without any bugs this game would likely have been at the bottom of: Not Bad, Could be Better. 184 Spoiler Ape Escape My journey through the PlayStation classic catalogue continues with Ape Escape. This was a game I never owned or played as a kid (never played any in this franchise) despite being a fan of this genre. With that in mind playing this game through the lens of 2024, it was still a pretty decent experience. The controls and camera feel very much like a PS1 game and these did detract from the experience to an extent, but it is hard to hold that against a game that is over 20 years old. The gameplay mechanics felt pretty good and I feel like if I had played this back in the day I would have loved it. The story was not really important to me as the voice acting was pretty terrible and so I found myself skipping all the cutscenes so that I could get back to the gameplay. I feel somewhat excited to play the sequels to see how many improvements they make. With all of that being said I don't think I can place this any higher in my tier list than towards the bottom of "Pretty Good, Could be Better" The game itself is just okay by todays standards and I am probably giving it a lot of "passes" based solely off of its age. 185 Spoiler PGA 2K23 I will start by saying that this is a very good golfing game, so if you are a fan of golfing games, this will be a no brainer. Surprisingly across my 185 Platinums at least 5-6 of them are now from golfing games, so this is clearly a genre I enjoy. With that being said the best comparison I can give for this game is PGA 2K21 so that is what I will be measuring this game against. Coming into this game I was hoping to see some improvements over 2K21 however the game did feel very much the same. Now to be fair you cannot expect them to reinvent the wheel when it comes to golf and mechanically PGA 2K21 was already excellent. The swing mechanics are the big change for this game, but truth be told I did not notice much difference. Coming into PGA 2K21 I was itching for a golf game, as the only real golfing series' I had played to that point was Hot Shots / Everybodys Golf. As such because 2K21 was a "new" experience the game was much more exciting, felt more fun and overall was a better experience. This game is in every way just as good as PGA2K21, with the exception of the fact that (for myself personally) my expectations / experience with golfing games was higher coming into this game. As such I have ranked this game just below PGA 2K21 in the "Solid & Fun Games" tier. 186 Spoiler Moving Out 2 The sequel to Moving Out delivers (pun intended) more of the same with a new cast of characters and a few variations to level design. First off I will always sing the praise of a game that has local / couch co-op as it means my Fiancé and I can game together which I love. This game was in my opinion slightly worse than the first game, largely because it was just more of the same. Still a very solid and enjoyable game, but without significant innovation the game did just feel a bit like more of the same. Still my partner and I enjoyed this and I do recommend it to anyone, especially if you liked the first game! I have ranked this game in the "Solid & Fun Games" tier, just marginally behind Moving Out 1 187 Spoiler Twisted Metal 2 A sequel that stays true to the original whilst ramping up the difficulty and expanding the gameplay. Considering this is a PS1 Game the controls (once you are used to them) are pretty decent. The game itself, is great! I really really enjoyed the original and this one is even better! Also the gameplay is much deeper than you first realize with move combinations tucked behind the scenes that can be used to give yourself an edge and help counter the heightened difficulty of what was already a decently tough game. The voice acting at the end of each campaign was a nice touch and whilst the premise of this series is so farfetched, the endings are enjoyable and Calypso is a good antagonist. For all of these reasons this game is ranked in the middle of the "Solid & Fun Games" tier. 188 Spoiler Untitled Goose Game This game started out pretty fun, but the last speedrun level drove both myself and my partner crazy. It was so much more frustrating than we both expected and it really soured our experience. Rather than feeling satisfaction when beating it we simply felt relief. Overall this was a decent experience to that point and I always appreciate a game that has local co-op, but because of the sheer frustration it caused us, I have this game ranked in the "Not my Cup of Tea" tier. 189 Spoiler The Artful Escape This is a prime example of why you should always give a game a chance, even if you think it might not be for you. Whilst looking at gameplay footage / what I had heard of this game, I did not think it would be anything fancy. I decided to tackle it before it left PS+ Extra and I am very glad I did. This game is visually stunning and the story of self discovery, was pretty good. The gameplay was fairly minor, but it was a nice experience in amongst some of the longer / harder games I have been chipping away at. The story did drag a tiny bit towards the end, but I think that comes down to pacing more than anything else. I also appreciated that I did not need to follow a guide for the whole playthrough like many of these shorter story driven games with missable trophies. With all that in mind, I would recommend playing this one, especially if you have PS+ Extra. Based on this I have this game ranked in the "Solid & Fun" Games tier, and fairly high in that tier. 190 Spoiler Prodeus This was my first introduction to the Doom / Boomer Shooter genre and with that being said this game felt absolutely great. The game gets you straight into the action, no cutscenes, no dialogue, nothing. Now I will say that this is both a strength and a weakness, because the games story is delivered via text at the level select screen. Personally I did not read any of that until about halfway through the game when I realised I didnt really have any clue what was going on. I feel the game missed an opportunity here to use the loading screen to have this dialogue delivered via voice acting, which is a real shame. The gameplay itself is great. The music and action is awesome and overall the game plays very well. The retro art style delivers on what it is trying to achieve and overall this was a very very good game in terms of pure fun. I will say that the platinum experience does detract marginally from the experience as having to get all the kills and all the secrets on some levels can be very difficult as enemies and secrets can be so well hidden. Having to reference a guide for nearly every level was a bit of a shame. The community levels are also a must for this game as 1 trophy (10K kills) is such an absurd grind compared to the length of the campaign / how many kills you can get in one playthrough. With all that being said I do recommend this game, especially if you enjoy Doom / other games in that genre. I have ranked this game at the top of the "Solid and Fun" games tier and contemplated it for "Fantastic" but having to reference a guide constantly as well as the lack of voice acting to deliver the story felt lazy. 191-200 Spoiler 191 Spoiler Last Stop Another game leaving PS+ Extra that I thought I would give a go and pleasantly surprised me. This game follows the episodic story telling similar to what the Telltale games used to do back in the day. Back then this became a bit of a dull / repetitive formula and whichever game I last played following that style really showed me that I was experiencing a bit of burnout from that style of game. Fast forward all these years later and I really enjoyed playing through it again. This game feels more like you are watching an interconnected TV series rather than a game (can be true of all episodic games) but the story was intriguing and mysterious. I will say that I felt captivated to go onto the next episode every time I finished one which means this game absolutely nailed the story... until the ending. I wont spoil it, but the hardest part of these games is to land the plane and this games ending felt off pacing wise and also felt like a big leap. The game gives you 18 episodes to build towards the climax, but it felt like the story completely changes pace within the last few episodes. All of this is to say that I did really enjoy the game, I felt like my decisions in the ending did matter somewhat and overall it was a pleasure playing this style of game again. The ending did dock it slightly and so as such I have this game once again ranked in my middle tier, "Solid and Fun" games 192 Spoiler Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered This game was excellent. In my oppinion this is the best Need for Speed game since the Original NFS Most wanted. The game does away with the story, so much so that I am pretty sure this game does not have a story at all. No Cutscenes, Just racing. This could be viewed as a pro or a con depending on the lens you choose to look at it with, but for me, this was a big plus. Need for Speed games as of late have felt extremely cliché in terms of their story, which I feel is in part because there is only so much creativity you can have surrounding a racing game. This game however removes all the filler and gives you 160+ events you must GOLD (Beat within a certain time or finish first) which makes the game both repayable and challenging. The driving mechanics are also the best I have felt in a NFS game, possibly ever. The controls feel sharp, drifting feels surgical and the strike the perfect balance of easy to learn, difficult to master. Mastery is however needed for some races as the times needed for some Golds did prove a bit challenging requiring a little bit of practice. Overall this was an excellent experience. Easy to pick up, do a few races and leave. No need to worry about immersion or story or cutscenes. No need to worry about police busting you before you return to your garage (very annoying in modern NFS games) I will say that the online trophies do detract from the platinum experience and the game is fairly dead so I had to boost these with myself, however this is probably my only knock on this game. Based on all of this, this game is ranked firmly in the "Fantastic Games" tier and might be the best NFS game with trophy support. 193 Spoiler 194 Spoiler 195 Spoiler 196 Spoiler 197 Spoiler 198 Spoiler 199 Spoiler 200 Spoiler Game & Platinum - Tier List Rankings are based on both the experience I had whilst playing the game as well as the experience whilst going for the Platinum. (If a game has been Platinumed more than once, only the first Plat experience will be ranked) Games within the same tier will be sorted by best (front of that tier) to worst (end of that tier) *Obviously this list is entirely subject* The Tiers Summary The Best of the Best: These are the games that were a joy to play through and if I could platinum them over and over again, I would. My absolute favourite gaming experiences on PlayStation. Fantastic Games: These games are probably just as good or very nearly as good as the tier above them, but either had a few minor flaws or were just not quite as fun as the top tier. Still great experiences worth playing. Solid & Fun Games: These games were still great but got docked in ranking for various issues. Either they were a bit too long / grindy for no real reason, had bugs or trophies that made the platinum a bit of a pain, or they were just solid games that whilst not having any notable flaws, did not reach the heights of games in the higher tiers. Pretty Good, Could be Better: This could be considered a bit of a fodder category. These games aren't bad, but are not great in terms of either gameplay or their platinum experience. For example, a solid and fun game that outstays its welcome (Powerwash Simulator) will find its way into this category. Games that require a guide the whole way through will likely feature here or lower tiers also. Not my Cup of Tea: This category is for games that I personally did not really enjoy. Usually this category will be reserved for games that have a cumbersome platinum, the game did not resonate with me or the game was just mediocre at best Did not Enjoy / Regret Playing: Games that for one reason or another I either did not enjoy or regret having on my list. This category is reserved for the most boring / guide heavy / buggy or bad games I have on my list. (and thankfully there are not many) The Best of the Best Spoiler Fantastic Games: Spoiler Solid & Fun Games: Spoiler Pretty Good, Could be Better: Spoiler Not my Cup of Tea: Spoiler Did not Enjoy / Regret Playing: Spoiler Backlog: This has been being tracked actively since September 9th 2021 (from when my first Trophy checklist was made) as such this tracking will continue from that date.

Mr_Wright95 Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 Update #1 and likely the last update for this week. The tier list is complete! I will be honest it was extremely hard for me to rank the games within the top tier. I could mount a case for all of them being first in that category but have settled on the ranking lists for now. I will possibly rearrange slightly when I go back through and review every game for my completed game section, but I am happy with how it looks so far! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum_Vice Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I can see clearly how much weight you give to each game's trophy lists. You're making me want to play Days Gone and Hades even more! It's also the first thumbs down that I've seen for Unpacking which is interesting. We enjoy a lot of similar games! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're making me want to play Days Gone and Hades even more! It's also the first thumbs down that I've seen for Unpacking which is interesting. We enjoy a lot of similar games! Its a bit of a mixed bag for me, I'd say the weight on the trophy list would be best put like this. Ranking 1 is without a doubt: how much did I enjoy the game, for instance Dead Island (#1) can be buggy, the trophy list is a bit of a grind and the game itself is flawed in many ways, but it is without a doubt my favourite game if not top 2 or 3 I have ever played for a number of reasons, so despite the trophy list / online trophies etc, it goes to #1. Games that I have to watch a video guide for collectables (whilst playing through the main story) etc will almost never rank as highly as games I can experience blindy. So a lot of games with missable trophies etc do take a hit, but this is not a steadfast rule. For instance TLOU P1 is still a fantastic game even with having to use a guide whilst playing. It would be in the top tier if I could clean up collectables post game more conveniently. I think my ranking of each game will make a lot more sense once I have finished the completed game section so my thoughts on each could be a bit more clear, but the trophy list is always second to the fun / enjoyment I had on a game. With that being said if a game has trophies that bug etc or forces me to do things that I then start to not find fun, it will fall marginally in rank. No games trophy list (from what I can see) has dropped it more than 1 rank in the tiers. Unpacking just wasn't for me. I think I lacked the patience with it or I just wasn't in the mood for that sort of game. I also thought for some reason it was Co-Op and my partner and I could play together, but when we realised it wasn't it started off on a bad note to begin with 😅 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Wright95 Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 (edited) Platinum 183 Despite being a free game on PS+ with a very short time to complete according to various guides, this game started off by pleasantly surprising me. Having never played Hello Neighbour 1 I felt this game built suspense really well and whilst a guide was more or less essential, I still got some enjoyment out of the game. Unfortunately bugs ran rampant for me with this game with so many crashes + my save corrupting forcing me to restart and do an entire playthrough in one sitting. (which still crashed) Based on that and the fact that the suspense and "fear" effect of this game does wear off fairly fast (and the ending was a bit all over the place) I have placed this in the "Not My Cup of Tea" tier. I contemplated it for Regret Playing, but ultimately only 1 restart due to bugs saved it from the bottom tier, had that happened again it would be towards the bottom. Without any bugs this game would likely have been at the bottom of: Not Bad, Could be Better. Edited April 8 by Mr_Wright95 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Wright95 Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 Update: Thread has been updated with Reviews for Platinums 170 -> Current. Figured it made sense to do these reviews in reverse order so that the games I have played most recently will be more front of mind. Backlog has also been updated with PS+ games and the completed games have been marked off. Hopefully a few new Plats in the next day or so with a couple games sitting very close to done! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mr_Wright95 Posted April 11 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 11 Platinum 184: Ape Escape My journey through the PlayStation classic catalogue continues with Ape Escape. This was a game I never owned or played as a kid (never played any in this franchise) despite being a fan of this genre. With that in mind playing this game through the lens of 2024, it was still a pretty decent experience. The controls and camera feel very much like a PS1 game and these did detract from the experience to an extent, but it is hard to hold that against a game that is over 20 years old. The gameplay mechanics felt pretty good and I feel like if I had played this back in the day I would have loved it. The story was not really important to me as the voice acting was pretty terrible and so I found myself skipping all the cutscenes so that I could get back to the gameplay. I feel somewhat excited to play the sequels to see how many improvements they make. With all of that being said I don't think I can place this any higher in my tier list than towards the bottom of "Pretty Good, Could be Better" The game itself is just okay by todays standards and I am probably giving it a lot of "passes" based solely off of its age. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mr_Wright95 Posted April 13 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 13 Platinum 185: PGA 2K23 I will start by saying that this is a very good golfing game, so if you are a fan of golfing games, this will be a no brainer. Surprisingly across my 185 Platinums at least 5-6 of them are now from golfing games, so this is clearly a genre I enjoy. With that being said the best comparison I can give for this game is PGA 2K21 so that is what I will be measuring this game against. Coming into this game I was hoping to see some improvements over 2K21 however the game did feel very much the same. Now to be fair you cannot expect them to reinvent the wheel when it comes to golf and mechanically PGA 2K21 was already excellent. The swing mechanics are the big change for this game, but truth be told I did not notice much difference. Coming into PGA 2K21 I was itching for a golf game, as the only real golfing series' I had played to that point was Hot Shots / Everybodys Golf. As such because 2K21 was a "new" experience the game was much more exciting, felt more fun and overall was a better experience. This game is in every way just as good as PGA2K21, with the exception of the fact that (for myself personally) my expectations / experience with golfing games was higher coming into this game. As such I have ranked this game just below PGA 2K21 in the "Solid & Fun Games" tier. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mr_Wright95 Posted April 14 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 14 Platinum 186 Moving Out 2 The sequel to Moving Out delivers (pun intended) more of the same with a new cast of characters and a few variations to level design. First off I will always sing the praise of a game that has local / couch co-op as it means my Fiancé and I can game together which I love. This game was in my opinion slightly worse than the first game, largely because it was just more of the same. Still a very solid and enjoyable game, but without significant innovation the game did just feel a bit like more of the same. Still my partner and I enjoyed this and I do recommend it to anyone, especially if you liked the first game! I have ranked this game in the "Solid & Fun Games" tier, just marginally behind Moving Out 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mr_Wright95 Posted April 15 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 15 Platinum 187 Twisted Metal 2 A sequel that stays true to the original whilst ramping up the difficulty and expanding the gameplay. Considering this is a PS1 Game the controls (once you are used to them) are pretty decent. The game itself, is great! I really really enjoyed the original and this one is even better! Also the gameplay is much deeper than you first realize with move combinations tucked behind the scenes that can be used to give yourself an edge and help counter the heightened difficulty of what was already a decently tough game. The voice acting at the end of each campaign was a nice touch and whilst the premise of this series is so farfetched, the endings are enjoyable and Calypso is a good antagonist. For all of these reasons this game is ranked in the middle of the "Solid & Fun Games" tier. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Wright95 Posted April 22 Author Share Posted April 22 Platinum 188 Untitled Goose Game This game started out pretty fun, but the last speedrun level drove both myself and my partner crazy. It was so much more frustrating than we both expected and it really soured our experience. Rather than feeling satisfaction when beating it we simply felt relief. Overall this was a decent experience to that point and I always appreciate a game that has local co-op, but because of the sheer frustration it caused us, I have this game ranked in the "Not my Cup of Tea" tier. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Wright95 Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 Platinum 189 The Artful Escape This is a prime example of why you should always give a game a chance, even if you think it might not be for you. Whilst looking at gameplay footage / what I had heard of this game, I did not think it would be anything fancy. I decided to tackle it before it left PS+ Extra and I am very glad I did. This game is visually stunning and the story of self discovery, was pretty good. The gameplay was fairly minor, but it was a nice experience in amongst some of the longer / harder games I have been chipping away at. The story did drag a tiny bit towards the end, but I think that comes down to pacing more than anything else. I also appreciated that I did not need to follow a guide for the whole playthrough like many of these shorter story driven games with missable trophies. With all that in mind, I would recommend playing this one, especially if you have PS+ Extra. Based on this I have this game ranked in the "Solid & Fun" Games tier, and fairly high in that tier. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mr_Wright95 Posted April 27 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 27 Platinum 190 Prodeus This was my first introduction to the Doom / Boomer Shooter genre and with that being said this game felt absolutely great. The game gets you straight into the action, no cutscenes, no dialogue, nothing. Now I will say that this is both a strength and a weakness, because the games story is delivered via text at the level select screen. Personally I did not read any of that until about halfway through the game when I realised I didnt really have any clue what was going on. I feel the game missed an opportunity here to use the loading screen to have this dialogue delivered via voice acting, which is a real shame. The gameplay itself is great. The music and action is awesome and overall the game plays very well. The retro art style delivers on what it is trying to achieve and overall this was a very very good game in terms of pure fun. I will say that the platinum experience does detract marginally from the experience as having to get all the kills and all the secrets on some levels can be very difficult as enemies and secrets can be so well hidden. Having to reference a guide for nearly every level was a bit of a shame. The community levels are also a must for this game as 1 trophy (10K kills) is such an absurd grind compared to the length of the campaign / how many kills you can get in one playthrough. With all that being said I do recommend this game, especially if you enjoy Doom / other games in that genre. I have ranked this game at the top of the "Solid and Fun" games tier and contemplated it for "Fantastic" but having to reference a guide constantly as well as the lack of voice acting to deliver the story felt lazy. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Wright95 Posted April 28 Author Share Posted April 28 Platinum 191 Last Stop Another game leaving PS+ Extra that I thought I would give a go and pleasantly surprised me. This game follows the episodic story telling similar to what the Telltale games used to do back in the day. Back then this became a bit of a dull / repetitive formula and whichever game I last played following that style really showed me that I was experiencing a bit of burnout from that style of game. Fast forward all these years later and I really enjoyed playing through it again. This game feels more like you are watching an interconnected TV series rather than a game (can be true of all episodic games) but the story was intriguing and mysterious. I will say that I felt captivated to go onto the next episode every time I finished one which means this game absolutely nailed the story... until the ending. I wont spoil it, but the hardest part of these games is to land the plane and this games ending felt off pacing wise and also felt like a big leap. The game gives you 18 episodes to build towards the climax, but it felt like the story completely changes pace within the last few episodes. All of this is to say that I did really enjoy the game, I felt like my decisions in the ending did matter somewhat and overall it was a pleasure playing this style of game again. The ending did dock it slightly and so as such I have this game once again ranked in my middle tier, "Solid and Fun" games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Wright95 Posted Thursday at 05:27 AM Author Share Posted Thursday at 05:27 AM (edited) Platinum 192 Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered This game was excellent. In my oppinion this is the best Need for Speed game since the Original NFS Most wanted. The game does away with the story, so much so that I am pretty sure this game does not have a story at all. No Cutscenes, Just racing. This could be viewed as a pro or a con depending on the lens you choose to look at it with, but for me, this was a big plus. Need for Speed games as of late have felt extremely cliché in terms of their story, which I feel is in part because there is only so much creativity you can have surrounding a racing game. This game however removes all the filler and gives you 160+ events you must GOLD (Beat within a certain time or finish first) which makes the game both repayable and challenging. The driving mechanics are also the best I have felt in a NFS game, possibly ever. The controls feel sharp, drifting feels surgical and they strike the perfect balance of easy to learn, difficult to master. Mastery is however needed for some races as the times needed for some Golds did prove a bit challenging requiring a little bit of practice. Overall this was an excellent experience. Easy to pick up, do a few races and leave. No need to worry about immersion or story or cutscenes. No need to worry about police busting you before you return to your garage (very annoying in modern NFS games) I will say that the online trophies do detract from the platinum experience and the game is fairly dead so I had to boost these with myself, however this is probably my only knock on this game. Based on all of this, this game is ranked firmly in the "Fantastic Games" tier and might be the best NFS game with trophy support.
