 #81 - DEMON'S SOULS (PS5)

Probably one of my favourite remakes I've played so far. The whole game looks beautiful. Drips with atmosphere in every area. Tower of Latria reminded me a lot of Bloodborne, which is always good.

 

Although, it definitely was the easiest soulsborne game. I know a part of that has to do with the fact that I have finished every other soulsborne game before this one, but still there weren't any bosses that were super challenging, as a lot of them have some sort of gimmick to them.

 

Nonetheless, this game was fantastic regardless. : )

 #117 Pinball Heroes (PS4)

 

 

If you like pinball games, looking for an easy platinum and have about 1 to 2 hours to waste, you can go wrong with this game. Featuring Pinball tables from well known Playstation games such as Uncharted, Fat Princess and Hot Shots Golf, these tables are fun, although pressing L1 and R1 can be a little bit tiring after awhile. Over all this is a fun game if you happen to have PS + Premium.

#240 Samurai Maiden

21st Jan 2023

 

"Beneath the cherry blossom trees in stunning Japan, a young woman becomes...a samurai??
Experience fast-paced action in the Sengoku period as this everyday girl slays demons(Bone Samurais, Robots, Gobins, Silmes. Flaming Skulls, Ogres and Tengu) and slashes her way through the chaos!". As a Hack and Slash, it was fun but going for S ranks was a pain as S rank needs you to slay a certain number of enemies but there's no kills counter like there's a Timer and Inca(the currency for this game) counter. The way I found to kill the Maō(Demon Lord aka the final boss) on Demonic difficulty fast(before the timer hit 6:00) was using Tsumugi's Mountain Bird and for the Kunoichi I used the 3rd weapon all maxed out and for the fight itself I mostly used Hagane and Komimi's Ninja Skill 2 and Iyo's Ninja Skill 1 note that their 3rd weapon make their Ninja Skill 1 cost 2 NSPs instead of 1 NSP while Ninja Skill 2 still cost 3 NSPs and make it so they can use their Ninja Skill can be used even if some bone head attacks or a ogre charges at you.

Trenches

 

(PS5 version)

 

Judging by the trophy pictures alone, this was going to be a dark game. And just like with the trophy pictures you barely see where you are or know what to do, in a small game that tries to capture the real-life horror of World War I's trench warfare with jumpscare horror by the numbers. Don't know how many times an Onryo girl has to appear in various games until they get scary but here she is. Again.

 

Trenches puts you in a trench labyrinth without much information, the true horror being the bugs, glitches and questionable design choice.

 

For example in this first person game your character blinks once in a while in case you as a player have been cursed with Luigi's death stare.

 

When you crouch, the shadow of your character is shown as an armless skeleton (no, that's not intentionally).

 

Sometimes the wooden walls disappear and you can look into the grey void, truly a no man's land.

 

So you walk around and find various objects like a key or photographs since that has to be in every horror walking simulator. On top of that you are chased by a creepy sounding but hilariously funny looking monster that kills you in one hit, but you can avoid it by sneaking, peeking around corners and hiding behind some dirty cloth. You also got a whistle to attract baby fetuses because thats what people associate with trench war, right?

 

In short you can complete the game in less than an hour and get rewarded with two title cards explaining what story the devs had in mind while you are still wondering what just happened the last 45 minutes. 

 

Trenches is cheaply made, filled with jumpscares, and is more annoying than entertaining. You even don't get that much of a trench war feeling since it seems like the German Empire's trenches have been made by Bob the Builder. It's just not that dirty and gritty.

 

World War I is a scenario that has been tackled by different game types in the past. Verdun, Tannenberg and Isonzo took a more serious route while Battlefield 1 went all cinematic. 11-11 Memories Retold and the masterpiece Valiant Hearts (soon to get a sequel) had more educational elements with the latter also being great to play. Trenches takes a good idea and an already creepy setting, but executes it poorly. Its not even good in its own genre.

 

Luckily you can get the platinum in about ten minutes and even avoid the monster by never picking up the first collectible. Just wander around to certain places and pick up certain items. 

 

As a recommendation go watch All's Quiet On The Western Front on Netflix to see what a nightmare that war was. A better investment of time than this. Oh, and it's 10 Euros with crossbuy so you can get lost in the boring trenches twice for the same money. Overpriced, uninspired and disappointing garbage.

So I decide to get back to my root and play 2 JRPG till 100% This month. And maybe play some PS3 game on the way for a very tedious trophy. So here the 2 platinum

 Platinum # 120

Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream

Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream

 

Since I m a big fan of the Atelier Series, I will say I do enjoy this game, but not as much as the rest. It still mantain most of the Mystery series side of stuff/Content.
But add some stuff I hear is from the Ryza series. Overall it still good, you can also break the game if you know what you doing. 

The Story wise is very typical JRPG atelier kind of story. Nothing much to talk about since I don;t want to spoil. Anyway I think this really will mark an end to the Mystery series. It still a relaxing game to play for just to get some chill out of it. The game still surfer a little load time issue, or maybe just my Old PS4. But is pretty good.
Just one missable Trophy here which is  Ruler of the Dream. I not gonna spoil i, so take note of it if you want to do 1 playthough only.  

 Platinum # 121

Blue Reflection: Second Light
A Special Girl

Alright Finally finish this. It was a slow start but get better when you play it until you unlock more stuff. Overall is just a very chill and relaxing game.
Everthuough I watched though the anime first before I jump into this game. Feel like it does't matter. The sotry wise is I guess okay, not the best.
Still I enjoy playing most of the game, but feel like if GUST wanna do a 3rd console game for this series, there is so much room to improvise.?

Anyway there only 2 thing I wish it sure not included in the game or at least can be improvise further is the Stealh Mission & Travel Grimmick.
Let start with the Stealh Mission. The thing about this is everytime you get spotted you will be teleport back to the starting spot. Which is bad.
I wish they can reduce the vission for the enemy or just take this gameplay away. It may be the most frustrated mission if not.
Other then that is theTravel Grimmick. This is simply is just make thing so slow. I think you can speed this up. sometime you will have a short cutscene for it which if you skip it, it will like lag awhile. I think this can be implement better. But yea those are the only 2 thing I kinda dislike.

If you interesting to check on Game I worked on do check here. Currently Teaching some Fresh Artist Blender and working on a MMORPG. w

[I need more BIOSHOCK]

Platinum 800 
BioShock 2 Japanese stack PS4

5/10 difficulty
10/10 enjoyment
40 hours I took my time to enjoy it all.
What can I say about my all time favourite games! The atmosphere, the story, the unique environment of rapture! I have never known another game like these. Whilst I loved platting BioShock 2 for a third time I really wish they would have included the multi player like we had back in the PS3 ere. It's my personal most fun MP of all time. The time to platinum is greatly reduced here with the lack of MP. The invisibility glitch with the scout plasmid still works so hard difficulty is cake walk. I personally used it here as I've done it legit twice before and wanted to have some fun with it. If you have never played a BioShock game and are looking for something new then look no further! I hear the collection is cheap as chips too so get on it. Happy hunting

PGA Tour 2k23 - (PS5)

 

Anticipation - 3/5

Fairly middle of the road. Not a golf fan in terms of the sport (not entirely sure i even view it as a real sport....it’s a sponsored skill game isn’t it?), couldn’t name many golfers or corses etc, so the licensing side of it doesn’t really excite me. But I have always enjoyed playing golf games whether that be going back to the original EA Tiger Woods franchise, or the more quirky stuff like Mario golf or everybody’s golf. Will definitely get this.

 

Enjoyment - 3/5 

Really polished game, mechanics of swing etc are a bit more tricky in this edition than I remember them being in the 21 release, but it’s super smooth to play and looks great. Also, no idea who he is or what he talking about most of the time,  but I enjoy the ex player commentator in these 2k golf games more than most (and again, I use this term loosely) sports titles I play. It suffers though mainly from what I find all golf games struggle with, especially so the more serious titles, and that’s longevity. For what it is though, it’s well put together and it’s enjoyable to play, if not all that expansive.

 

Retrospect - 2/5

I had forgotten just how quick the platinums are for these games. Once you’re done with that there isn’t really a whole lot left here to keep you coming back unless you play it a lot online, as once you’ve completed a season you only ever going to be playing the same courses over and over and that’s not really for me. Isn’t one that will linger very long in the memory.

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne  147

This is the best Monster Hunter game IMO.  I have all games dating back from the PS2.  I'll definitely do Rise in due time, but I don't enjoy it as much as I do World. So, I'm going to take a break from Monster Hunter and focus on some other games I've not finished up yet.  Syphon Filter is my next planned game, as it will also be trophy 8000.  Then, I'm going to finally knock out both versions of NBA 2K23.  It's time to complete them.  I don't particularly care what trophy images look like, but I like this one.

#90: Spyro the Dragon

Gnasty's Demise (45.91% - Uncommon)

Collect all Spyro the Dragon Trophies

 

Ever since I was a kid, Spyro has always been one of my favourite franchises, with Spyro 3 being one of the best games I played during my Ps1 games; I also consider Spyro: A Hero's Tail a very underrated game, and a very decent sequel for the original trilogy.

 

About Spyro 1, I do remember playing that game too, when I was a kid: one of my fond memories is that one day I raged for not being able to finish a level, and I broke the disc in half in front of my family.

 

In 2016/17 I played it on my PC again for the first time since then and I had fun, but I got stuck somewhere and I was not able to finish the game.

 

SInce it's been years since then, I could barely remember anything about the game, and playing this remade version has been amazing: the game looks wonderful, and such platform games are among my favourite kind of games. I think that the game is hard to complete 120% for a kid, as some areas are very hard to figure out how to reach, but nothing too dramatic for an adult who can look up video/guides, which I did more times that I can admit.

 

The Platinum is easy to obtain as most Trophies come along while getting 120% completion, and I only needed a cleanup after to get the remaining Trophies for the Platinum. For the sake of completion, I also completed all the Skill Points available in the game: none or them were particular challenging and unfortunately they were not required for the Platinum, but here we are.

 

 

 

Unlike what most people do, I won't jump instantly into Spyro 2 now: instead, I'm gonna wait for a while, because I want to make my 95th Platinum. Still looking forward to it.

 #150 Inmortals Fenyx Rising (+ 3 DLCs)

 

 

Difficulty: 5/10

Enjoyment: 6/10

 

My 150th trophy!!! I loved the base game, the world is very well built, the story is too childish but it entertained me. A lot of things to do, the puzzles are great, the combat too... I was having a good time and decided to buy the DLCs before completing the game.

 

And then the nightmare began. The DLCs tried to do their own thing to provide a different experience from the base game and IMO, they failed to do so. The first one focus a lot in puzzles, one after another, without any other thing to do. The second one is a rushed version of the base game, which doesn't offer anything interesting. And then we have the third DLC, which is the worst idea anyone could have though for this game... The best thing about this game is the freedom to explore a 3D world: do you see that thing on the distance? well, you can go there, climb that mountain, no hidden walls, just go there, kind of like zelda breath of the wild. And then, this DLC took that from the game and offers an eagle pov which makes the gameplay frustrating and tedious. Can you climb the wall that is in front of you? well, too bad, you can not move the camera so in order to know if you can climb that wall or not, you have to start climbing and pray that your stamina is enough. Searching for things that you know are so so near you became a nightmare just because someone though that a forced eagle view with the camera somewhat near your character was a good idea. Hated it so so so so much, that my enjoyement dropped from a solid 8 to a generous 6.

Platinum Trophy N. 205 - Civilization VI 

 

 

 

 No More Turns.
Complete all base game Civilization VI trophies.

 

Now, this is an unexpected Platinum i'll be honest 

 

I had other plans for my weekend but pretty much threw them away and played a bunch of Civ which i'm back into lately after watching some runs from the Civ Youtuber i follow that always release interesting Deity runs. So i went and tried my hannd to my last missing trophies, i already did last week the annoying Egypt trophy so it was one less on the way, i had only to try my way for the America, the Baloon and the Moon ones!

 

Yesterday i finally managed to get the "Pizza Party" trophy after a bunch of attempts all failed for one reason or the other, this time it was long but i made it, and boy the actuall annoying part was Getting New York as a city  I Had like 12 cities before and was finishing the space i could settle on the map, thankfully the 13Th one was New York, not a great one so it took a while to get things going but i made it for the trophy!

Then i tried all yesterday night getting the Nena Continent. I actually got it rpetty fast in hot seat as recommended by the guide, what a pity that the guide is wrong or outdated i don't know because starting in the Atomic era already gives you Drones making the trophy impossible because you can't make baloons anymore, would have been great to find out without wasting 1 hour first  Anyway after that i refuesed to do another Hot Seat, it's so boring pass eveyr time turns, i just tried single player a Duel Continet map until i got it, spent like 2 hours yetserday trying nothing, this morning, 1st try  Guess it's payment for the suffering  Found the continet it was just a matter to get ot the techs (I started Industrial Era this time to be sure!) and got the trophy.

 

For the last one it was just tedious, i did all this trophies on Settle diffuclty (Ultra Easy) so the enemy was never a problem to me, same here, egypt was never a problem, i was actually surprised to just 2 shots his 2nd biggest city, i expected more, anyway just a amtter of playing the game, dominating so much (Especially as Korea for science) i had basically EVERY great Scientist included Newton and Darwin, activate them and just work towards the Scientific victory! All the while after having promoted a Slinger at the start and kept it until the aiportrts were done for that trophy too    

 

So Yeah, this was all my work towards this last trophies in this weekend! I decided to write this down to give an idea of how more annoying than anything the plat is, it's not hard at all, you can just play on the easiest diffculty 90% of the time, it's just tedious.

 

I got the game and played most of it 2 Years ago, after i just came back randmoly for some runs trying to get trophies, i'm glad i'm done with the plat both because i like the game (And i'm both sad and annoied that Firaxis just stopped supporting the Console version for whatever reason, would have liked to try Tokugawa and the New Chinese leaders ) and i actually want to play it properly without gimmicky stuff, especially trying some Deity games, now i can! Sure there are the DLCs trophies but thankfully are not as annoying or specific in msot cases so i'll slowly work on them! 

 

I'll leave here this time the Platinum Image, well it's the Science movie screen obviosuly:

 

Spoiler

 

 

Already 2 Platinum in 3 weeks, this year is starting waay better than my last 2, hopefully it continues

Hidden Through Time

 

A cute and maybe relaxing game for some, but this hide and seek game made me squint at the TV screen way too often. Basically you have a less detailed Where's Waldo with the characters looking like family friendly versions of a Hugleikur Dagsson comic strip or One-T from the music clip "The Magic Key". It could be done faster than I did (over 2 hours), mainly if you use a guide right from the beginning. Its also getting repetitive pretty fast, even with a level editor for online play - where most people built levels equivalent to Little Big Planet's 1 sec community level (h4h).

 

If you go down your barrel of easy platinum you will eventually grab this obscure game.

[Jelly Soup]

#167 - Syphon Filter 3


 

 

Totally cashed in an easy one here. I played the trilogy back in the day. While they're good, I didn't feel they weren't good enough to sit through a second time and the third game is the least good. Using cheat skip made this more like a movie and that's an interesting way to experience a PS1 game. You can see all the errors and animation cheats, perspective trickery, the really good bits of animation stand out more....lots of stuff. Was once again wow'd at how many voice tracks could be jammed into those things without a drop in audio quality.

 

This game had mocap actors. The next time you see a cut scene from this game and the characters are flailing around, remember that a real person did that in front of a real camera.
