#49 Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey 

 

Great survival game and bonus points for it being educational. At the risk of sounding like a bad Micheal Scott joke I truly didn't expect it to be so big - this game is vast. 

 

Whenever a game gives me a left hand and a right hand to co-ordinate it's a learning curve to master but so worth it (looking at you Bioshock) and by the end of it it becomes second nature. Also, one of those rare games I ran into zero bugs or glitches and considering its size and what it offers that really is quite the feat.

 

For negatives, my only real gripe is that you don't ever get to play as a caveman. You spend the whole time working towards evolving to become an upright homosapien but when you finally get there you only see it in a cutscene. I realize there's probably issues regarding rules against playing as a historically accurate, naked, early upright human but the entire game you spend seeing if you can beat the timeline and lineage of the evolution of hominids and you really become invested in getting your tribe walking, communicating, digesting, mating and using tools onwards to the inevitable end goal of becoming human, noticing changes like losing body hair and seeing the whites in the eyes form, only to never actually walk it.  

 

Besides that it's awesome, I even love the design of the plat, I noticed it resembles the two in-game timelines of your progress compared to science. If you dig new takes on survival games this one is a great pick although I would recommend keeping a tab open of the map as it really is massive.

#163 - TOEM

 

And that completes the list!
Obtain all of the Trophies.

 

Charming is a word that describes this game perfectly. Nice and easy Platinum that takes only few hours with guide, I used the one here in PSNP and it was very helpful. I also got the dlc trophies for 100% because why not, the DLC is free.

 #122 - Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII - Reunion

 

My Living Legacy

Acquired all trophies

 

 

I've only relatively recently gotten into Final Fantasy through FFX. I've played FFX, FFX-2, A small amount of FFXIV and FF7 Remake. I loved the remake, and I'm glad I haven't played the original so I'm experiencing it in a whole other way - also glad that I only know of the one spoiler that probably everyone knows, but not anything else, so there are many surprises, which I didn't anticipate. So when Crisis Core came out, I got It almost at release. 

 

I really liked this one, because it was a bit more action-oriented. I really liked the strategising in FF7 remake, but the pace of Crisis Core fits me more. It's definitely one of the better games I played, even though the DMW missions are pretty repetitive, I really liked them as a break from the real game. You could just play these side missions and relax when you didn't really feel like progressing the story.

 

In terms of the platinum trophy. I really do dislike when games have this many missables. There are so much in the game that is missable, and no chapter select just makes it horrible. So I made a lot of Backup saves and then I followed a rough spoiler free guide, that wouldn't lessen my experience. Like mostly checklist based for "you must have found or done these things or you have missed out on them completely"

 

I really liked the Roulette gameplay system, the way that it is random, but also not fully random - like there are some hidden mechanics that makes the roulette feel good instead of it just being there and being pure luck it actually becomes a great mechanic. However the trophy for unlocking all character scenes is just awful. You can't do anything except just wait and push your luck with some items. And it locks one of the best items. I'd much rather do something difficult, there's nothing worse than a tedious task that you're not in control of. At least when it feels this random. I do like grinding in general in a lot of games, but this was more like waiting and hoping you win the lottery. 

 

All in all mixed feelings, but I'm so glad I played it. I like the story, and I really like the gameplay and for that is the most important, I just wish the grindy trophies would use it instead of just making you sit there.

It Takes Two

 

(Both versions via save transfer)

 

One of the best games in the last couple of years and also one of the best if not the best co-op games, It Takes Two was a great journey from start to finish, with an awesome variety of levels and gaming mechanics, the latter with more than one nod to other games, such as the Ratchet & Clank series.

 

While the story takes a little bit too long and has its inconsistencies (emotional rollercoaster like some Pixar Films), there are so many great moments that its not getting boring. It is meant to be played with a friend, communication is the key. The only minor trouble you can have is the Helltower trophy which demands some platforming skills, but its still doable.

 

I highly recommend this game. 

 

3/10 Platinum difficulty.

10/10 fun.

Platinum #139 - Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories 

 

 

 Memories of Summer - Acquired all trophies.

3,628 Owners - 631 Achievers for a percentage of 17.39% (average completion; 28.16%)

 

 

Enjoyment; 8/10

Difficulty; 2/10

Trophies; 8/10 (lovely tiles, fun secrets and requirements, but not very challenging)

Onigiri; 10/10

 

As far as quirky Japanese games go, this one is really quirky. Walking simulator full of jokes that poorly translate to English, set in the ruins of a Japanese city wrecked by earthquakes? Rough gameplay thanks to a restrained budget? Charm oozing out of every crack and pile of rubble? Cancelled late into development due to real life events before being picked up and released years later? Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories has it all.

 

 

Playable in third person (default mode) and first person perspectives with limited areas available in VR, DR4 lets you create your own character before thrusting you into its narrative. You can choose from both genders and a range of cosmetic options, and I ultimately went for the default female as seen on the game's cover. You get a few questions about what you would do in the case of a disaster, and while they are ultimately mostly pointless, you do get the chance to roleplay as a complete psycho throughout the game.

 

This is thanks to the gameplay mostly consisting of you walking around, triggering story events and finding items, and talking to a slew of NPCs who require help or advice. Most every conversation presents you with stereotypical 'good karma' and 'bad karma' options, plus a few extremely silly options to pick. Just one wrong choice can easily lock you out of an optional Trophy, though, so this is one of those games where you really need to be careful and keep back-up saves to prevent too many repeat playthroughs from being required.

 

 

With some good planning, you can, however, complete the Plat in just one full playthrough plus a replay of the final 20 minutes as you are offered one of two choices to end the game, both of which take you to different locations. You've also three Trophies centered on collectibles to contend with, but for two of them you don't need to find all available items while for the third you only need to find five specific dialogue triggers, so ultimately nothing too taxing. There are no quick time events of real note - you get an earthquake knocking you on your butt if you don't brace but nothing that particularly endangers your health bar - and there are no obligatory minigames either, so this really is a walking simulator and not much more. I was tempted to actually rate its difficulty as a 1/10, but ultimately, this isn't the Squatting Taco T: Late Spring Ice Cream (Pamela Version) kind of throwaway Platinum game, and you do need to make the right decision using your noggin', so 2/10 it is.

 

 

Even if the gameplay loop consists of walking > talking > scavenging > repeat, the game never gets boring thanks to the setting (although your mileage may vary - if you're not overly keen on Japan and its quirks, this really won't be the game for you) and there is some really funny dialogue to be found throughout. And, with the game being on PS Plus Extra, you can give it a try for "free" if you fancy - I recommend you do, perhaps on an alt account, as this is an experience you'd struggle to find outside of the Disaster Report series. If you're going to play it on your main account, be aware that there is paid DLC required for 100% and it only goes on sale once in a blue moon; last month was the first time in nearly two years that it went on sale, and at 8 Eurosmackers (and your regional equivalent), it's priced quite highly even if you do get a fair bit of content.

 

I ended up paying the discounted price, so while the entire experience wasn't fully free (also because PS Plus sub), I still had quite a bargain. And a few beautiful tiles in my collection now, I really do quite like the style they went with here - a few stand-out ones shown below, and the wonderful Plat shown at the top of this post, I love how Golds and Silvers are framed while the Bronzes are just little postcards with sticky tape, with the Plat being rather luscious;

#40: Sonic Frontiers

 

 

This is one game that I had my eye on in 2022, but due to Sonic Team’s abysmal track record with making 3D Sonic games, I decided I wasn’t going to buy this game until possibly this year if at all. Thankfully the positive reception from Sonic fans gave me enough confidence to buy this game and for me to make it my 40th platinum.

 

Sonic Frontiers has managed to redefine what a Sonic game can be thanks to it’s open world (or open zone as Morio Kishimoto calls it), along with it’s new and improved take on what Super Sonic battles can and should be. It also has one of the best and most diverse soundtracks in the Sonic series which is already well known for it’s music, with music genres including metal, electronic, and even Lo-if hip hop for the fishing area (yes there’s fishing and it’s actually enjoyable this time unlike SA1). One negative is the pinball mini-game which requires you to get a ridiculous 5,000,000 points and is required to complete for story progression. Other than that though, this is one of if not the best 3D Sonic game to date!

 Tier 1

Unlock all Trophies

 

Pretty good single-player campaign, a bit more grounded than the original MW trilogy, and obviously influenced by awesome contemporary films like Zero Dark Thirty, Sicario and The Hurt Locker.

 

Graphics and performance are great as usual, but I was still very surprised by the level of detail when running the game on PS5. Things like smoke, lighting and particle effects look amazing on the updated version of the game.

 

Had this sitting on a shelf for years, glad I finally got to it. There's a few missions that I enjoyed a lot. I'll be playing the sequel soon, as I'm excited to see where they take the story and the action next.

Platinum #86: Beholder 3

 

Evil Eye
Unlock all the Trophies

 

I was a huge fan of the first two Beholder games, but heard a fair few negative things about #3 so decided to hold off. Of course, my resolve wilted pretty quickly in the face of a good sale, and after seeing that nobody had nabbed the first plat yet, it was over😄

 

The Beholder games take place in a totalitarian state where you work for, well, the state. The third installment tries to blend its two predecessors by putting you in charge of a building full of units for rent and tasking you with spying on your residents (like the first game) while also having you work at the government building, spying on your co-workers and choosing sides between superiors vying for control (like the second).

 

Beholder 3 was, for whatever reason, made by a different developer than the first two games, and sadly it shows. They have a great, dark sense of humor combined with a firm grasp on what life under these regimes can be like, which makes them very unique. And that's present here as well, but it's just not as sharp. The complaints I'd heard about the bugs are true as well, from your protagonist randomly disappearing to NPCs freezing mid-dialogue to necessary tasks never popping up. It feels a touch unfinished as a result!

 

I eventually warmed up to it, after all I love this franchise and Beholder 3 was still fun. But for anyone who might be interested, particularly fans of Adventure games with dark narratives, I would strongly recommend trying out the first game before the rest, and if the itch still isn't scratched after playing the sequel, then give this one a go.

#2760

a.k.a. Moorhuhn Kart 2 in Germany

(PS5 version)

 

My collection of Moorhuhn platinum trophies is complete, with the 12th and final one being a bare-bones kart racer. To be more precisely, it is the Playstation port of the Switch version of an "enhanced" Moorhuhn Kart 2, first released on PC in the mid-2000s. What you get is a total of eight tracks and seven drivers, with less than ten pick-up items, with 90s Techno music and awful graphics.

 

This is what shovelware was in the 2000s, especially for the Wii. Big name (the Moorhuhn franchise had a hype in Germany at the beginning of the new millenia) and cheaply made by the dozen. It's not a good game and it doesn't run smoothly at all. Nobody would pick this over a Team Sonic Racing, for example. It's overpriced and offers very little content.

 

Moorhuhn's 12 games consist of 8 shooting galleries (4 for PS4 and PS5 each), the shortwhile entertaining Treasure Hunt and this terrible game. I cannot recommend it even at a discount.

Plat 87: LIFE IS STRANGE 2

 

Difficulty: 2

Fun: 6

Grind: none

Unlike in the first two, the choices you make throughout the episodes DO matter in what ending you are ultimately gonna get. This doesn’t stop the reason for the whole conflict being nonsensical or your companion being a twat.

 

Plat 88: Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled

 

Difficulty: 10

Fun: 7

Grind: lots of training 

The hardest Platinum on my list.

Probably wouldn’t have gotten it if a friend of mine didn’t help with some of the Time Trials.

 

Plat 89: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

Difficulty: 4

Fun: 5

Grind: 2

 

The game itself is excellent. 
This particular version has iffy frame rate and bad controls, can’t really recommend it.

 

Plat 90: Final Fantasy XIII-2

Difficulty: 5

Fun: 7

Grind: 6

 

I like it, it has a time jumping mechanic and an ending system that I haven’t seen before.

The pet and levelling systems are also quite complex.

Plat 91: UNCHARTED: LEGACY OF THIEVES COLLECTION

Difficulty: 4

Fun: 7

Grind: 3

 

Good games, but feel very iterative.

The rope is a great addition.

Not a big fan of Sam, but he’s an interesting character. 
Thank God for the beneficial speed run trophy glitch, I always hate doing those.

 

Plat 92: Life is Strange

Difficulty: 2

Fun: 8

Grind: 2

A good narrative game. The ending still gets to me.

 

Plat 93: Ghost of Tsushima

Difficulty: 4

Fun: 8

Grind: 4

It’s amazing, probably the most artistically striking game out there. The online mode is worth it too, lots of effort went into it.

 #123 - Tearaway Unfolded

 

Perfectionist

Collect all the other trophies

 

 

This game I earned my first trophy in 5 years and 10 months ago. This almost took 6 years and is my "slowest" platinum to date. Truth be told, of course it has just been sitting on the shelf collecting dust since I downloaded it from PS Plus played a few chapters and went on to something else. Now I went back to it, and I am glad I did. The platinum is almost and Ultra Rare, so I'm guessing many did the same as me, since it is by no means difficult and not very long either. The trophy image is pretty awesome though.

 

I really liked the game. The story was sweet and all the characters were cute, and you're just doing fun stuff throughout the chapters. Also new mechanics often get introduced which is nice. Definitely my favourite platformer of 2023, but not much to compete with yet.

 

In terms of the platinum trophy - I did really like the small challenges in the trophy list that didn't have to do with game completion. Some came naturally and others you had to be creative for. I think it is great that the games creativity shines through in the trophies as well. Besides the creative trophies it required a standard platformer 100% completion which included a LOT of collectables. This is more of an issue with the game however. The main collectable (Confetti) is plentiful, but that also means each stage has more that 200-300 confetti pieces which are just individually spaced throughout the chapters. Of course mostly they are in small clusters in 3 or 5, but sometimes they're not. So if you need a cluster you know that it's just a secret place you missed, which I'm fine with. However, it's so tedious finding them all because the stages are way too big, with not much in them. Luckily there was a chapter select, so you could just play the game and find whatever you find and then come back when you feel like it. I liked that some stages you could come back to after learning a certain ability to explore more of it. The collectables I did like were the hidden presents and "quest" presents (except for the many escort quests). And then there's the scrap collectable which is to kill all the enemies, but it is so glitchy it's really awful. 

 

The escort quests are awful as well, in truth I don't think they would be that bad if it wasn't for the unskippable cutscenes and the fixed camera angles zooming in on stuff when you already know where to go etc. All in all however it didn't take that long even though I felt like the game was long, when you went into the chapters again you knew where you wanted to go etc and it went much faster.

 

The platforming itself wasn't really anything interesting, and often times the camera would annoy you so much, and out of all the abilities you get through the game, none of them are platform related, so that could have been improved on I think. Maybe I just think that because I generally like platformers. This game could definitely have like some challenge stages with difficult platforming or something to make you do some crazy stuff with the abilities and make it creative, like swapping the wind mid air and rolling into a ball to avoid something etc. 

 

My favourite mechanic in the game is definitely the drawing mat. It was so much fun. You could draw things that would spawn into the game like snowflakes, flames, but you could also just draw whatever to decorate your character. Not to mention that with the camera in game you could take pictures and then you could cut out parts you wanted to use for various things. The limit was literally your own imagination when it came to it. The unfortunate thing with it was that often while just playing story they would throw you into it when you maybe did not feel like it, so something ugly would come out of it. However the ugly things in this game are often the fun parts of it.

 

All in all I did like the challenge of the deathless segments, and the game is so cute that, that fact alone was enough to make it worth the time.

First platinum of 2023.

Ending this platinum went smoother than I thought, talking about the health/stamina grind. 

Although there’s close to zero dialogue and the gameplay is clunky sometimes, I very much enjoyed this game.

Finally went back and got this easy and enjoyable platinum. The game is amazing and even the little grinding I had left to do was plenty fun because the gameplay itself is enjoyable and chill. Just the way I want my first platinum for this year to be. With that on the board I'm now ready to hunt down many more!

#100 - The Mysteries of Ranko Togawa: Murder on the Marine Express

 

 

I was planning on making a different game my #100, but I missed some missables. So I chose another, but I got stuck. So I chose another, but it started to bore/frustrate me.

 

So I'm stuck with this thing as #100.

 

It's not very good, but at least it was cheap. There are a lot of translation errors and spelling mistakes. The story isn't very interesting. There are far too many characters for the length of the story. There are no choices. The only player interaction is occasionally scrolling through a group chat, which has two speeds - slower than the PS3 store using the D-pad or faster than Barry Allen after 19 cans of Monster with the left stick. The group chat is also confusing because all the characters have different names on there, so it's hard to work out who's actually talking. The main character (blue hair girl) is very obnoxious and aggressive. The blonde girl is much more interesting and likeable.

 

It has an 8-bit visual style, which is pretty cute. There are also a few funny lines here and there.

 

It has some fairly serious themes, which are kind of jarring against the visual style and jokey tone. The victim

Spoiler

of the first murder is a teacher who was sexually abusing multiple students.

 

If you've ever wondered what a (very) watered down version of Danganronpa on the Master System would be like, this could be made for you!

Not a bad game at all, just not very mind-blowing. I guess it has more to do with the setting just being space. Has a bit of a grindy element to it, namely with the mastery trophies, but still very doable.

[Moridin83 849]

 #248 Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint

 

And the first plat of 2023 is...an Ubi title😢. This game gets 2 very different reviews from me. Solo, it's thoroughly mediocre. The typical Ubi map bloat is in massive effect, along with a significant amount of jank. Your AI squad is ok, except if you're trying to advance your class ran, in which case you're better off without them. The story is uninteresting, and playing in 2022/23, you can kill the final boss before you're done with chapter 2 by turning off gearscore, thus removing most of the point of what you're doing the whole time.

 

However, if you play with friends, it's a lot of fun. You can ignore most of the tactics, spawn at camps you've never been to, if your friends have, and generally be up to 4 Rambos making a mess of the game's plans and challenges. That's definitely the way to play this, and the only way I'd really recommend the game. Otherwise, there are better games, and better Ubi titles. Even for free with PS+, I'd say no unless you're doing it co-op, but then, it's plenty fun.
