Finally after nearly 4 years I got the mass effect andromeda platinum (92), I missed 4 puzzles last time and didn't have it in me to do another play through back then, played on insanity new game plus, it wasn't that bad since I had strong weapons from the start, and my squad were fully upgraded.

World of Assassination - Complete all 47 trophies

 

Nice way to close out the trilogy. As far as platinum trophies go this one may be the easiest of the three games. Either way really enjoyed playing it and look forward to some extra content coming.

 Ultimate Sim Guru 

The Sims 4

 

I've been playing The Sims games for twenty years on PC. I didn't have access to my computer for a while, and this game was free through PS+ at one point, so I plugged my mouse and keyboard into the PS4 to get my fix that way. I've a newfound appreciation for the base game after working on this platinum (I refused to buy the expansions all over again haha) - it's not as bad as I remembered it being. I got my computer back two weeks ago but wanted to clean-up the remaining trophies on PS4 first. Now to celebrate by picking up The Sims 4: Snowy Escape on PC. Luckily the in-game gallery feature is cross-platform so I can bring in the family I was playing on PS4 into my PC game - after playing them for six generations I've gotten attached!

I'm sure I'm not the only person to have earned this this week, but:

 

#198: Concrete Genie

 

First of all, this game does have some glitchy trophy requirements, some of which I encountered. Fortunately, I was able to get around them without replaying the whole game, which is, you know, good.

 

As for the game itself, I really quite liked it. At first, I thought it was a little "artsy-for-the-sake-of-being-artsy"; that is, all style, no substance. I think there's still some truth to this, but then again, I found the game thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish, so the developers definitely did something right. I didn't really get into the whole painting thing - I'm fairly creative in real life, but optional creativity in games is something I just don't care for (I still love you, Tearaway). Still, the actual level design and gameplay was much better than I expected, so all in all, it worked for me.

 

I like the take on bullying, too.

Spoiler

It's true that I wanted to slaughter the bullies, but then that's exactly what the corrupted genies wanted to do, too. This was definitely an effective way to tell the story IMO - even if I'm still not sure I'd personally give a damn about the welfare of those bullies, and even if I'm not sure I buy the fact that everyone's friends by the end.

 

I only got PS Plus this month for online trophies in other games, so getting to play this game (and getting the plat) has been a nice bonus. I'm not sure I'll remember much about the game a few months down the line, but it was definitely fun while it lasted.

#313 - Middle-earth: Shadow of War - PS4

After finishing those 2 DLC test trophies in Shadow of Mordor last December. I decided to tackle down Shadow of War this month. Not only I got plat, but also get all the DLC trophies. I am just glad I am done with this game.

#118 - Maneater (PS5)

Difficulty 2/10

Fun 9/10

PSNP Rarity: 45.85%

PSN Rarity: 7.7%

 

This was a very fun game to play in all honesty. Just a unique game about being a shark and eating everything that is in your way! I recommend this if you're looking for mindless fun.

 

#119 - Control (PS5)

Difficulty 4/10

Fun 8.5/10

PSNP Rarity: 21.77%

PSN Rarity: 2.1%

 

Game has great gameplay mechanics and atmosphere. The best version is to play this on the PS5 for sure, as it targets 60 fps with rarely any drops. I suggest playing this for the gameplay and story it leaves behind. I will be playing the DLCs at some point, but for now I'm burned out. The game has a low rarity percentage but that's nothing to be scared about, most players have played the PS4 version and this game is also free on PSPlus currently. This game is a blast I recommend it, especially since its free!

 

100% Completions

Nioh 2 (PS4)

Doom Eternal

 

Since I haven't used this in a while, I also wanted to show off what I have completed as well. Next up Resident Evil 3 and then Persona 5 Strikers!

 # 40 - Alienation

 

 

Difficulty - 5/10

Enjoyment - 8/10

 

This game was released by Housemarque but it wasn't entirely similar to their other games. It's still a top down shooter and it plays great, but it's like a mix between Dead Nation and Diablo. The guns you get are loot drops and the stages have randomized elements that make it more dungeon-y than other Housemarque titles. There are gun rarities, core slots for improved stats, stat rolls, etc., and man... it was one of the best games I've played in maybe years. The plat/100% required three PT's including one on hardcore mode wherein a character death was permanent. In those PT's I have an absolute blast every second. Getting new guns and equipment, playing co-op with people, fighting bosses and clearing hundreds of aliens and mutants, it was just pure enjoyment.

 

It wasn't hard. Your hardcore run can just be save scummed, you can get boosted by higher level players, and some particularly good random guns you get can entirely trivialize everything. But despite it maybe not being the most rewarding Housemarque plat I've gotten between this, Dead Nation, Resogun (on my first account), and Nex Machina, it was probably the most fun game of theirs for me. If you have any interest, do not hesitate in playing this game and do not sleep on it; it's amazing. Good choice for a milestone plat for me.

#241 - Cyberpunk 2077

 

What hasn't been said before about Cyberpunk 2077? Developed by the guys and girls over at CD Projekt Red who created the critically-acclaimed The Witcher 3, it was long-awaited by many, but technically flawed due to a rushed job to get it pushed out by the next-gen consoles' release window. And yet, all its content pieces are in place and make it a very memorable game for all the right reasons.

 

Cyberpunk 2077 stars V, a mercenary in 2077 looking to make it big in Night City, an NUSA (New United States of America) west-coast metropolis teeming with opportunities, corruption and violence. If there's a buck to be made in Night City, it doesn't matter if you run your mouth or your gun. As long as the job gets done. Same goes for our hero(ine), V, who takes up a job to infiltrate the Arasaka HQ, a megacorporation, to steal a highly valuable biochip prototype which could provide the key to immortality. The job goes sideways and to save the chip's integrity, V slots it in their brain, discovering that Johnny Silverhand's (Keanu Reeves) personality is stored on the chip, a former rockstar-activist who died many decades prior to the game's events. Not just that, the biochip is effectively slowly overwriting V's personality with that of Johnny, and simply removing the chip would mean instant death. As the clock ticks, V contends with Night City's gangs and powerful figures while they forge new alliances and make friends, to find a solution for the biochip conundrum before it is too late and their personality is overwritten entirely.

 

There's a real sense of urgency and finality to the game's story as it builds up to this climax and that's one of its many strong suits. I could write an entire article about Cyberpunk 2077 and the existential subject matter it presents to you, but I do also want to preserve the many surprises and easter eggs hidden in its big open world and story - it took me over 100 hours to complete the entire game! So, a quick rundown of what I love:

 

- The story and characters are nothing less than great. Coming from someone who plays tons of games and has had his fair share of lukewarm narrative experiences, when I say this story is great: it really is that great. There are multiple endings ranging from downright depressing to pretty damn badass, so your choices throughout main quests and sidequests have a significant impact. Same goes for the characters: bonding with the key personas made me really care for some of them, including Johnny Silverhand and learning about his pivotal role in the story's events. Especially Judy Alvarez's questline was one that tugged at my heartstrings. This story and these characters can easily compete with the very strong writing of The Witcher 3 as well, so narratively speaking, this is executed very well.

- I'm adding an extra bullet point for the secret ending alone, which was a bit challenging but so badass and satisfying to complete!

- Music and visuals (we'll get to technical flaws in a bit) are also really good, even on a base PS4 which I played it on. The fact that this is the same composer who tackled The Witcher 3's soundtrack, shows his versatility, and I'd love for him to collaborate more with CD Projekt Red for future games. The music track when you're up on the rooftop with Judy - if you finished her questline, you know what I'm talking about - comes to mind in particular, it is hauntingly beautiful. As a matter of fact, I'm actually listening to it now as I'm writing my platinum post.

- Combat is - for the most part - really good as well. Melee combat leaves much to be desired, but gunplay feels so good. The firearms with a smartlink feature in particular are just so sweet to handle, making bullets curve around obstacles so they can find their targets behind cover.

- Lots of customization too: in a world where biomechanical enhancements are pretty much the norm, you can upgrade the firmware installed in your body, add features to hack enemies and damage or locate them, turn them into allies, etc. Weapons can be modded too, and since this is an RPG at heart, you will be able to level up in five different skill trees (with a possible sixth one being saved for DLC?) to unlock perks for stealth, combat, health, hacking, ... You get the idea. Skills which also lead to finding alternate ways to smooth talk your way out of trouble or into restricted areas, or to just open doors and hack computers with your advanced set of skills.

- And not surprisingly: the open world is big and there is lots to do. The fact it took me over 100 hours to complete everything, shows how much value you get in return. Quests can take crazy turns and surprise you with how they are set up, just like in The Witcher 3. Night City is full of interesting stories to discover, hence the 100 hours I gladly invested.

 

The technical side of things, however... Oh Jesus. Granted, some of the patches fixed most things, but I still encountered weird visual glitches, textures and lighting effects popping in very late, audio bugs, multiple crashes and I even clipped through cars at a certain point! It pains me to see that, although this game is clearly going to be labeled a must-play and a modern classic later and that the narrative quality is of such a high level, its first impressions have destroyed all of its hype and reputation. And all because management at CD Projekt Red couldn't be bothered to give the devs more time to polish this game to near-perfection.

 

Cyberpunk 2077 will be an all-round fantastic game once they fix the technical shortcomings. Heck, I love the game a lot. So much so, that I'm planning to replay everything in the near future as a female V, perhaps on a PS5. And I'm excited to dive into the free and paid DLC later, for sure! My recommendation? Get it. BUT! There's a huge caveat. Get it on a PS5. As soon as Sony puts it back up on the Store, why not buy the digital edition? That way, you'll have a native version on both systems, despite the fact the PS5 version will be coming out towards the end of this year.

 

It is a journey worth experiencing with a satisfying payoff, depending on the choices you made. Support it and pick up a copy whenever you can.

 

Most frustrating trophy - Autojock

 

 

Autojock requires you to buy all the optional cars available for purchase in Night City. Ranging from low-budget vans to high-end futuristic sports cars, you'll need a lot of cash to add every vehicle to your garage. We're talking close to 2 million eurodollars (the currency in the game), which means you can't go around throwing too much money at Cyberware upgrades or guns. Offers in most shops are superfluous anyway, considering you can earn a lot of upgrades and awesome (iconic!) weapons by simply clearing gang hideouts, completing quests and looting enemies. You'll be looting and selling off inferior guns and mods throughout the whole game to collect enough money to buy every vehlcle, that's a fact.

 

Now, of course, there is a duplication glitch which many of you have undoubtedly exploited to get lots of money super quick. I didn't, I stuck to getting this the legitimate way. So for all of you who think this trophy is incredibly easy to obtain with said glitch, here's a bonus "Most Frustrated Trophy" entry, just for you... Let's see you duplicate or glitch your way out of this one.

 

BONUS ROUND! Most frustrating trophies - It's Elementary - Greetings from Pacifica! - The Wasteland - Little Tokyo - Mean Streets - The Jungle - City Lights

 

 

"Wait, Joa. You can't do that, adding multiple trophies to this bonus entry. That's cheating!"

Yeah well, so is duplicating money super quick to cheese your way to the "Autojock" trophy, so shush. And it's my platinum post entry, so I can do whatever the fuck I want with it.

 

These seven trophies require you to complete all the gigs (side jobs) and NCPD Scanner Hustles in their respective sections of the world map. Most people will never do all of these, because you don't need to. You can level up and finish the game just fine without doing all of them. But they take time, lots of it. Essentially, this translates to clearing the map of all side activities. Some gigs are pretty interesting, but most of them are pretty standard quick jobs, so these don't leave a lasting impression. They do help to give you the guns (to sell) and the cash you need for all those cars mentioned above. And there's no way around them if you're gunning for the platinum trophy, so you can forget about exploiting anything.

 

I'm going to let the experience simmer for a long while in my mind now. But when I'm ready to visit Night City again in the future with a female V, I'll probably clear the map again of all the jobs and activities. Because it was just that enjoyable, technical mishaps be damned.

 Platinum #112 Ratchet and Clank PS4 

Uncommon: 21.48%

 

Difficulty: 3/10.

Enjoyment: 7/10.

Challenge: 7/10.

Music: 8/10.

Grind Difficulty: 6/10.

Genre: Shooter, Platform, Adventure, Action, Science Fiction and Comedy.

Platinum Time: 2 days and 12 hours.

 

 

 

Same thing before from last year 2020 and earned Platinum #112.

 

Intro: On this reboot of Ratchet and Clank PS4, the whole graphics is not to bad and has some pretty visuals, shadow effects and changing tones etc. The story was pretty easy and short length otherwise to complete the game at breakneck speeds. It's really nice to see the old planets back again and revisiting them was old memories much like the original version of the game. Weapons was pretty tactful and some few are decent to handle and shoot at enemies at mid-range and close-range combat. Reboot and mixing the story was very good and cannot say anything bad about it.

 

Pros: The music's was very impressive and shows the right time and which planet to set that in. Graphics are very nice to see new surroundings in new planets, remodeling the enemies, improving fighting style, shooting and etc. The remains was or has a nice touch to it which wasn't really that bad at all.

 

Cons: Hence, I think the old Chairman Drek is way better then the new Drek. The story could of expand a little more work at least 3 or 4 more new planets so to speak.

 

A recommended game for challengers for this reboot game.

 

Next Platinum: ???

#156 Kandagawa Jet Girls

I seen the anime so I knew what to expect, basically a Senran game on jetskis.

Was surprisingly fun at time even though the controls were dogshit at times.

 

#157 Watchdogs Legion

*sigh*

 

I really wanted to like the game but the voice acting threw me right off, I just couldn't stand it, especially the English slang that just made them sound so goddamn retarded which honestly made the game unable to be taken seriously.

The hacking was pretty much the same as all other wd games a dthe gameplay felt improved from 2 but that was all.. improved gameplay and a newer prettier setting.

The new mechanic of being whoever you wanted to be was actually pretty decent however I found myself seeing multiple versions of the same character in the world.. its not the year 2000 where you could get away with copy pasting NPC's.

 

I honestly felt that this wd was a big step back, I personally think that the 1st had the best story while the 2nd had the best gameplay and story mixed while this one.. well there's no leaps and bounds in the gameplay and the story is severely lacking.

 

My plan was to double dip the 2 platinum but honestly its not even worth it.

 

#159 Immortals Fenyx Rising

Basically a Disney God of War which honestly wasn't a bad thing tbh. The puzzles were simple yet fun, the voice acting was pretty damn good, the gameplay was excellent.

The collectables were kinda tedious but that's to be expected from an Ubisoft game.

Even the bad joke's made me laugh a little, I really did enjoy playing this and would recommend this game.

Platinum #76 - Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor GOTY  (+100% ✅)
Difficulty Rating 6/10 (DLC Included)

Enjoyment Rating 9/10

Ultra Rare - 3.01%

I’ve always wanted to play this game, but it has been doomed to the backlog for so long. Then near the end of 2020, it was announced that some server was getting disconnected and therefore some trophies would be unobtainable once that happened. With that in mind, I knew I had to take it upon myself to play sooner rather than later. Keep in mind I’ve never played any game that takes after the Assassin’s Creed formula. At least I think that’s what I can compare this to, right? My interest for Assassin’s Creed in general is pretty low, but because this game had Lord of the Rings attached to it, I was more willing to give it a shot. The story follows a man named Talion who is unable to escape death. He is guided by the wraith of a ring forger known as Celebrimbor. Together the two set out on a quest to avenge their loved ones in this revenge epic that takes place somewhere between The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. Just how accurate is the lore, I’m not sure. I still like it for what it is, and I think Monolith did a great job here. Saying it now, I enjoyed this game far more than I thought I was going to. There is a slight learning curve involved, and the smarter I became, the better my gameplay and tactics would be too.

 

It’s just plain fun to lop off orc heads and perform stealth kills on unaware enemies ? It never got old, ever. Each kill felt more empowering than the last and was my motivation to keep on going and learning. I started out pretty badly when it came to combat, however once I started adapting to the game’s intuitive nemesis system.. I was taking advantage of every general and war chief’s fears and weaknesses. This turned me into a better ranger overall and it was tons of fun exploiting these nasty orcs and climbing many buildings to aid me in my tactical approach to things. The game is a pretty easy platinum and there are no missables. You’ll be doing several sub missions, collectible hunts, upgrading your character and performing many kill oriented tasks. Anyone can do it with enough learning experience, but the game’s true brute comes in the form of the DLC. This is where the dreaded War Trials are. These are where you have to complete a number of objectives in under a time limit. These are brutal because there is far too much luck and RNG that play into them and they go on forever (40 minutes to an hour). You could be doing a real good run and it may fall apart at any second. Way too many factors play into these trials in order to succeed and they weren’t very fun under all the stress they can create. But they did put my skills to the test near the end of this whole journey. I even had to help a local friend do his trials on Xbox, and he got greedy by wanting both stacks of Shadow of Mordor ? So yeah, I can pretty much do these in my sleep now.

 

As for whatever trophies require an internet connection to the servers, I believe Monolith has updated the game just recently so that any trophy can be earned offline now. That sure is a refreshing thing to hear ? Most developers/publishers would not have bothered, so it was sure nice of them to go and cater to a niche audience like ourselves ? Now any hunter can jump into this masterpiece and have full confidence knowing all trophies are obtainable ^w^ A good thing too, cause I’d hate to see many people turn this amazing game down cause of a server shutdown. No worries now, everyone wins ? Now I might have to play Shadow of War. But I’ve heard so many mixed opinions on it, so I’m not sure yet. I’m quite contempt with this title and may bask in its greatness a little bit longer before heading into the sequel. If you like dark fantasy with lots of decapitation, I highly recommend! Go try it for yourself! You will obey!

#200 - Soul Calibur 6

 

What a game! I don't think too hard about trophy milestones, but I did want to save this one for number 200. I've got fond memories of the entire series (particularly the original on Dreamcast - still a legendary game), so I figured this one was a good choice for me.

 

The game itself is superb, and I played better than I expected. I'm not as good in Soul Calibur as I am in Tekken, but I still managed to kick plenty of arse with Kilik. The trophy list was excellent too - a balanced, challenging list that kept me busy for a long time, without overstaying its welcome. Even the online was fun. Really, my only complaint is the frequent and slightly-too-long load times.

 

Now all I have to do is wait patiently for Tekken 8.

[TheMutilatingOne]

 #28 - Killing Floor 2

 

The grind to 25 from 20 was real.  This is unfortunately my first plat "casualty" as it has killed any interest I've had in the game now that I realise just how long ranking up each class is lmao

Fun for goreheads and a nice laid-back PvE experience.  Even the PvP/E vs Survival Matches aren't too difficult despite respawning.  6/10 difficulty, 8/10 time consuming.

#390 and #391

 

#390 Powgi Word Search on PS4. I completed this on the PS Vita a long time ago but since it's crossbuy I went ahead and did it on the PS4 as well. Not difficult by any means but pretty time consuming since you have to do all 324 word search puzzles for the platinum.

 

#391 Chickens on the Road on PS4. This was definitely me just looking for easy trophies. It took me under 10 minutes to get the platinum and if I remember correctly it was only $0.99. So if you're looking for a quick and cheap platinum, do it to it.

[RedRodriguez87]

 

#337: You are Just as Special as we are

 

This honestly felt like the shortest time I've spent with a lego game. It's also one of the easiest, as it takes little effort to breeze through the main game, and while the grind is still the most involved part, even that becomes easy with a checklist you can make yourself. And of course Red Bricks, now called Super Items, break the game once again. It was a pretty ok experience, overall.

 

A lot of people feel the same way, and weren't too happy about it. Apparently, this game was rushed as hell, and while it wasn't really broken or unplayable, there did seem something... well, beta about it. It's missing things like full voice acting in favor of straight narration, there are no clips or music played from the movie, and overall content seems very limited compared to other games in the series. Someone described it as extended DLC for Lego World, and I can sorta see that.

 

Shame too, as for the moment, this seems to be the end for the Lego Movieverse. Platinum looks cool though (which yes, is why I played it).

#409 - Pic-a-Pix Classic 2

I wasn't the biggest fan of Pic-a-Pix Classic 1 - in fact I actually quite disliked it - but I was willing to give this one a go because I do like Pic-a-Pix Color, and there are plenty of monochrome picross games available on mobile that I've enjoyed, so I had hoped that maybe the devs of this would've learned their lesson from the prior game and created more enjoyable puzzles. Unfortunately, that's really not the case.

 

This has all the same issues as Classic 1 did, except now on even larger puzzle grids to make it even more annoying and tedious. It's just not fun to be looking for your next move for 5-10 minutes just so you can put one extra square on the grid and then repeat the process trying to locate your next one. A good picross game at least gives you a starting point to build off (like a 10 row or 15 row in a 15x15 grid), and this doesn't even have that for many of the puzzles.

 

This was such a slog I think I'm not even going to bother with Pieces 2, and that one is in colour so should (hopefully?) be good. I've just had enough of picross now, I've stopped playing it on mobile too.

                                                                          #75 - Jak and Daxter : The Percusor Legacy

 

 

Loved replaying the game after playing so many years ago last time on PS3 Trilogy and also from the classic on PS2. Still think the game could be longer , i feel it's a bit too short for it's own good and for that reason he's my least favourite from the trilogy with Jak 2 and 3 having reshaped the formula of the series and going into a more open-world setting with guns and vehicles kinda like GTA at the time.
