Platinum #277

Lost Words: Beyond the Page

Platinum Guardian 
Collect all trophies

 

What a nice surprise this game was. Gameplay is okay, nothing too special, but the art design, and story are so great. music as well really did its job at enhancing the overall experience. I cried multiple times. Going to buy it on Steam, it’s on sale now~ I either got this on sale on PS or got it on PS+ Catalog, idk. But man was it worth it.
 

there are some annoying aspects, just some jittering on the firefly you move around with the right stick. As you move the main character it doesn’t move smoothly, it’s just really distracting. 
 

highly recommend the game for an easy plat and awesome story. 
 

Platinum #278

Sackboy: A Big Adventure (PS4)

Big Adventurer 
Even Scarlet didn't get all the trophies, you're truly a Knitted Knight of legend.

 

I missed the visual additions on PS5, it looks better there. Loading was long on both. I love the game, decided to plat it again mainly because I’ve since moved and was able to play with my nieces and figured since I was going to play again I may as well earn some trophies. Even if the time trial was annoying again, but it’s about getting out of your own way and taking time. I knew that but still was rushing some parts so took longer than it should’ve. 
 

For the most part it was fun to play again, I just wish I could have all my LBP dlc costumes. ?I don’t have much else to say about it that wasn’t likely covered on my PS5 plat post.

 #168 - El Chavo Kart

Difficulty: 5/10

Fun: 5/10

 

The 5/10 difficulty is mostly due to the challenges. Outside of those, this platinum really isn't super difficult, but the game is an enormous meme...as in it falls squarely into the camp of "so bad its good". You can tell this was rushed to the market, but admittedly that's part of the charm for this game.

Big Adventurer 

Sackboy: A Big Adventure

Wow this game was so much fun but stressful (just like any lbp game lol) I had this game since the last year but I've never finished the story until this week. The levels were fun and the clothing was on point, 10/10. The wonderplane levels were so hard for me but I got it anyways, Ofc the trial 16 Ripsnorter was a nightmare to try, a very long level that can kill you any second. I tried all morning and the afternoon but finally got the plat thanks to the help of @WimpyBadger who completed the trial perfectly and helped me with this trophy.

Platinum #360 - Far Cry Primal

 

A great, different and interesting approach to the Far Cry series, I loved the AWESOME prehistoric theme, I just hated all the repetitive side missions (and the skill points trophy)...

Dead Island 2, plat #177

 

Never thought this day would come and it finally did, had a phenomenal time with this game it was everything I could have wanted plus a million things more. 
This game is beautiful the environment design is phenomenal and just the game overall, the FLESH system they used for this game works really well and it’s great when you hit a zombie with an explosive melee attack and pieces of their body fly off then their flesh starts burning from the fire.

The story is in the middle it’s okay it’s not bad by any means but who plays dead island for the story anyways? 
Thankfully the side quests in this game are more than just fetch quests and often have a lot of humour involved and are all decent lengths.

This game was a solid 9/10 for me, I absolutely cannot wait for the DLC.

 #58: Need for Speed Payback

Decided to finally finish this game. Popped 3 trophies almost 3 years ago and didn’t touch the game until a month ago. Collectibles were a bit of a grind and I had a little bit of trouble with some of them but got them done. Only good thing about this game was the soundtrack.

#158 Brok the InvestiGator

 

Fun - 9/10
Difficulty - 2/10

Time - 16 Hours

 

Absolutely loved it. i am totally surprised by the quality of this game.

 

The gameplay, music, story, art, voice acting, all of it came together to create an experience that moved me, and an experience I will never forget.

Where this game stands out the most to me is in its character-focused story, especially the relationship between Brok and his adopted son Graff, how much they both need each other yet get torn apart by the dire world and events around them, and by their own mistakes.

Watching them try to navigate that relationship is the most emotionally invested I've been in a story in quite some time.

 

This is a hidden gem if you like 90s style point & click detective beat 'em up game.

#2,340 PS5 Japanese version of The Jumping Fries

[reaperveteran86]

Platinum #335

Tokyo Warfare Turbo

Supreme Leader - 13,33%

I can see this game played in the Girls und Panzer universe by some of the characters.

It is an tank combat arena shooter with a J-Pop soundtrack (from Rap to Idol Group)and it feels like a lost Dreamcast port of some obscure arcade game. The platinum was (thankfully) obtainable solo.

Platinum #336 (plus 100% DLC)

The Ascent (PS4)

Full Platinum - 19,91%

An cyberpunk action rpg with twin stick shooter controls. The game was really fun and I thankfully doesn`t run in any of the gamebreaking glitches (beside that sometimes a quest related thing doesn`t show up, but that could be countered by loading the last checkpoint again). My only real negative about this game is, that the encounter rate is too high with too many enemies per encounter (You ran through the city towards your next quest marker and there are two enemies in front of you. As soon as they see you, 8 more enemies come to their assistance and if you flee they hunt after you and if you are unlucky you run direct in the next enemy group and now there are 20 highly aggresive enemies after you).

The DLC was short and easy, except for the final area and boss fight which introduces bullett sponge enemies that can kill you in seconds and a glitch that softlocked me in the boss arena after I killed all enemies in it, so I had to do that part 3 times before I finally triggered the ending cutscene and could finish the dlc.

Platinum #337

Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova (PS4,EU)

Prodigy - 28%

As a Star Trek game, this is bad. It has nothing to do with the universe, aside from a Janeway hologram (that looked like a man) the star ship that is used as a hub area, phasers as long range attack weapons and collectibles from other Star Trek series.

I never watched the Prodigy series, which this game is based of (for me Star Trek ended after the (too short) Enterprise series) but I think, that my criticism is that this series isn`t very Star Trek (from what I saw it looks more like a clone wars spin of).

For the game itself, it is an mediocre license game that wouldn`t stand out from other PS2/PS3 license games, but since this type of game became rare on PS4 and onward and sometimes I have a nostalgic craving for this type of game, I had fun with it. Gameplay wise, it reminded me a lot of Lego games (minus the building aspect). You control two characters with different abilities and fight enemies and solve puzzles with them.

One thing to one of the collectibles:

Spoiler

For Voyager they have a plushie of the newt thing from the Threshold episode and the Janeway hologram even said "Let`s not talk about it" which cracked me up a little. I think I would also not want to talk about it, when I was kidnapped by a transforming crewmember, than got transformed myself and then had newt sex with him to create a new(t) species.

Like I said it cracked me up a little, but I think another collectible from the Voyager series (like one of Neelix cooking knives or a Seven of Nine bodypillow) would be more appropriate for a license game to a kids series..But on the other hand, I don´t think a lot of kids have watched Voyager nowadays so they don`t get that reference.

Platinum #71

 

 

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

 

Even after so many years, this game is still great! I think it doesn't get the love it deserves. The atmosphere in this one is so good. I remember first playing it back in 2014 - those dark vampire castles and snowy mountains were breathtaking. And the game still looks awesome even now! Cool combat and a nice story. I should definitely play the sequel, even though I heard it's not as good. I wish this one could be remastered for the next-gen consoles.

 #447 - Just Cause 2

Winner Takes All

Earn all the trophies.

 

I remember I played this game when it first came out on Xbox 360, so coming back to this game after all these years later brings back some memories. Lots of fun times fooling around with the game mechanics back then, but this time around, I was much more focused on 100% completing the various locations to get the trophies. That mostly consists of blowing up everything in sight which is still enjoyable of course. ? I didn't remember the story at all, and having gone through it again now, I can see why. It's very forgettable. I do appreciate how campy and cheesy it is though. This has got to be my favourite scene in the whole game. Fuck commies. ?

 

I ended up doing 2 playthroughs. The first one was just to get the difficulty trophies out of the way, so I just went through the story as quickly as possible. The hardest difficulty isn't that bad, but you can still die pretty quickly, which is why I didn't want to bother with the other trophies on this playthrough. It took about 10 hours or so to get that done. The second playthrough was where the vast majority of my time was spent. The big trophy to work towards is getting 75% completion which is a petty big task given how large the map is. Doing the agency/faction missions, challenges, and stronghold takeovers bumps that up a fair amount, but for the most part, you're going to be destroying government property and picking up collectibles to increase your completion percentage by small increments (literally like 0.01% for each one lol). It can get a little repetitive, but thankfully you only need 75% completion and not 100%. ? 

 

There's a bunch of misc trophies, but nothing particularly annoying. You can work on the majority of those while doing other stuff. The only other trophy I feel is worth mentioning is the one for driving 104 unique vehicles. This is every vehicle in the base game, but thankfully there are DLC vehicles which contribute to this number, so that gives you a little bit of leeway. It's good too because there's at least 1 or 2 missable vehicles. So long as you're aware of this trophy from the beginning like I was, you can get the vast majority of them along the way. There are some vehicles though which are a bit of a pain to find since they seem to have a pretty rare spawn rate. I probably spent an hour or two going to different areas and reloading the game hoping to vehicles I needed to spawn. Could have been worse all things considered. This playthrough took about 45 hours in total, so like 55-60 hours in total to get the plat.

 

This game was just mindless fun. There's something satisfying about it, even if you're technically doing the same thing over and over again to raise that completion percentage/chaos meter. I look forward to playing the other Just Cause games in the future and seeing what they've added to the formula.

 #130 - Cyberpunk 2077

 

[ZombieSlayaMr]

 #15 - Minecraft Dungeons

<10 Hours | 8/10 Enjoyment | 1/10 Difficulty

Bragging Rights

 

This was an awkward platinum for me since I ended up getting everything way out of order. I completed and grinded this game on PC, so I already had a high level character with good loot and apocolyspe difficulty unlocked. So this platinum was mainly just going through all the levels on the lowest apocolyspe difficulty setting I could choose for each level, just to complete it as fast as possible. My last trophy ended up being "open 100 chests" if that puts it in perspective how out of order the trophies were. But, I really enjoy dungeons, so I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who wants a fairly easy platinum. I may get the 100% but honestly, I don't want to have to rebuy the DLC for PS5 when I already have it on PC.

#2993

 

 

A game that fits in the "game title in the platinum picture" trope quite well.

 

Difficulty: 3/10

Time to plat: 306 hrs according to PS timetracker site.

Fun: 7/10, lower if you aren't into D&D.

 

A platinum that takes forever since its an idle game, means you only do some management and the game does the rest for you.

 

In this case you gain control of a dozen characters from Dungeons&Dragons' supplement Forgotten Realms, as well as their familiars if you buy any, and send them against a never-ending horde of enemies, we're talking about millions and millions of monsters here. Usually you have to reach a certain wave to complete your adventure, and it gets easier every time since once you reset you gain favor of the gods and other buffs, just so your troop can last a little longer.

 

At the beginning you have some circle button mashing for extra damage but eventually your team gets so steong that you won't need that. Sometimes the adventure hands you some disadvantages like having one or more useless NPCs blocking a slot for your champions.

 

You don't have to spend any money for new champions or treasure chests, the game provides you with everything you need - it just takes much longer if you choose not to spend money on this free game.

 

Idle Champions catches the D&D Hack and Slay feeling quite well, with the adventures being more on the cheesy side. At the beginning or end of the level you get some dialogue, mostly with some jokes or humor in it. This isn't a dark fantasy world anyways.

 

There are some familiar names from D&D, most prominently the unlockable Drizzt Do'Urden or antagonist Strahd von Zarovich, and the Dungeon Master from the D&D cartoon show back from the 80s.

 

The soundtrack offers two choices, you either get your generic fantasy ambient music, or some rock songs with D&D themed lyrics made from some fans ... I think. Both get annoying really quick - but you see for a game this cheap and repetitive (clearing a free play adventure 250 times means at least 70 hours of little gameplay) it seems to have a loyal steam fanbase and gets support despite being a couple of years old.

 

One thing: the trophy guide is a bit outdated, since you can replay more seasons you should be able to get your 72 variant adventures to clear much easier and faster.

 

I loved pen and paper role-playing games, even though I never was deep into D&D, and it helps if you want to sit through this game all the way to the platinum. I mean you can close the game and let it run in the background, you just have to manage your squad from time to time and check if they keep hacking their way through the monsters. As for stats, you get scientific shortcuts for numbers, achieving 1e40 gold for a trophy for example (thats a lot of zeroes). At some point I had a squad that looked more like a furry parade, with cat people, a wererabbit, dragons and kobolds as a team. Don't worry too much about stats, the game's economy works fine even without you managing everything, for the final stretch it got more interesting to tweak your characters here and there.

 

If you get some time shards as a reward, you can unlock new champions after a short 50 level run (again: for free). Check some tier lists online and look for some more powerful ones (e.g. Orkira for slot 1) - the starting crew however is just fine (you need Minsc for a trophy anyways).

 

So bring your bag of dice to the table and enjoy a grindy, but relaxing platinum.

Congratulations for the platinum ?, definitely you must play the sequels. The Lords of Shadow trilogy is one my favourite games and i fully agree with you that there are very underrated, especially how well written the narrative along with the fantastic voice acting!!!.

 

Again congratulations but i was not able to resist when i saw that platinum.

 

 

Thanks for Playing 

Thank you for taking the time to play Feather

 

The game surprised me, the premise is simple but is very well made. I didn't expect exploration to be this good. I didn't expect that following the river to source will lead me to a entire cave network, a cave with giant mushrooms ? and a portal to a totally different island!!! among many other surprises.

 #155: Dust: An Elysian Tail

 

 

Difficulty: 4/10

Enjoyment: 8/10

 

Platinum number 155!!! I really loved this game. If you have played Muramasa, this is that kind of game, with an indie vibe. The combat, the characters, the pace of the game, the plot, everything was really enjoyable. It's also a cheap game and a short platinum, so if you are looking for something to play in-between longer games, check this one out!

#182: Märchen Forest (Märchen Forest: Mylne and the Forest Gift)

Difficulty: Overall easy but has tough bits and some grind

Time to Complete: 38 hours

Recommended: Yes, but maybe on sale

Total score: 7.5/10

 

I remember seeing this game for the first time on Youtube, not knowing its name, but the first thinking wondering "Is this a Touhou game?" and immediately went to ask my sister - a big Touhou fan - about it and she immediately said no. After that I was trying to figure out what kind of game this was because there wasn't much about it. At least now that I played it and finish it I can finally say what it is and isn't!

 

The short answer? Märchen Forest is a rpg but split into 3 internal episodes, and I think it's best to give a brief insight to each one of them.

 

Episode 1 - Märchen Forest: Mylne and the Forest Gift

 

This is the first episode and it's overall short but funny despite not being a jrpg game: it's more of an adventure game where you have to interact with everyone to get items until you get what you need. It has some weird characters and it's probably the closest to an alchemy game you'll get, since you're required to brew 3 potions in order to finish the episode and go to episode 2. Again, it's short but it's kind of weird, it feels like a wonderland of sorts where there's not a lof of sense going on - why the penguin is doing weights, or how a mushroom talks in a suave voice, or why even someone lives under a rock. It's nonsense but in a cutesy, non threatening way. Really liked it!

 

Episode 2 - Märchen Forest: Mylne and the Curious Cavern

 

Episode 2 is when the actual game starts and the jrpg section begins. It's essentially a dungeon crawler with a time limit as "food" - a bit like older Ultimag ames - and lots of turn based combat that are unfortunately random, but not very frequent. The combat is surprisingly simple but very fun, reminding a lot of Paper Mario or sorts: You can dodge, you can defend, and you can attack anytime as long as you want. But the trick here is the parry system which...kinda breaks the game? If you know the parrying time you can practically lay waste to anyone before you. Even bosses won't be able to do anything to you, even if their massive sword hits your puny wooden ladle!

Still, the combat is very fun as it allows you to do fights without taking damage, and the dodge is very lenient. If anything the whole campaign is short (about 12-15 hours) and there aren't many skills to unlock (2 in total, 3 if you unlock the one from episode 1) and there isn't much else beyond that...until episode 3 comes!

 

Episode 3 - Märchen Forest: Requiem of the Astral Plane

 

Now this is where the game becomes even better: the combat is fully expanded, now you have abilities, techniques, TP, and food is even more important than before. You can now interact with chests and doors in order to see if they have traps or not, you have a companion with you that you can level via merit points - and you should give her the Relic assistant passive! It's so freaking broken! - and there are also quests, weapon upgrading, more gear and bigger dungeons. This one is probably the bit of the game that takes the longest - took me around 23 hours - and it was a really fun ride, as you have a lot of options and most of them are perfectly valid! And enemies are much tougher too so parrying is even more important now! Oh and there are some tough super bosses as well and they can be quite annoying, or fun.

 

The only issue with this game are 2: there are a missables in Episode 1 and 2 and once you move toward the next episode you can't come back. On top of that some trophies were grindy, in particular the 1000 wins: despite fighting every single enemy since episode 2 - and escaping like a dozen times max - I still needed to grind over 6 hours of enemies just to get it done. And one of the super bosses is probably one of the cheapest <BLEEP> in the game, since it starts the fight by getting your hp to 1 and then you have to dodge stuff until you can parry one of his attacks...which is the only way to heal yourself by the way! there's no Item option in combat if you don't stun your enemy!

 

Bottom line, I really enjoyed this one, more than I expected, and while I do recommend this game if you want something simple but enjoyable I think it would better on sale: it's asking price is a bit steep for what you get and I'm not sure it's worth it at that price. Otherwise, it's a (mostly) cute story and a (mostly) cute world with a (bittersweet) cute ending. 

 

Couldn't have asked for more!

Dredge (PS4)

 

From the Depths

Obtain all other trophies

If one is willing to go deep enough, there’s bound to be treasure.
Dredge is a (small) open-world fishing and sailing game.
It’s also a horror game. Yup, nothing beats catching a tuna while having a panic attack 
Those two genres (fishing and horror) mix well together here. Surprisingly well.
In fact, I can’t tell you a single negative aspect from my sweaty experience with it.
Well, this might not be the best game for the faint-of-hearted 
The game is divided into daytime and nighttime. During the day you’re supposed to sail around the four corners of the map,

catch and sell fish, and get important upgrades for your (at first) slow and semi-useless boat.
During night…you better be docked somewhere safe. 

Because come six o’clock pm it gets dark and foggy, and paranoia + sleep deprivation start kicking in.
The more you stay awake and keep sailing around, the more your panic level rises (represented by a faster moving restless eye).

The more you panic, the more surreal stuff begin to happen. First it’s just hallucinations, but soon shit gets real and you’re in a world of hurt.
I played this with headphones on and in the dark. My poor heart is still to recover from this 
It’s like fishing in someone’s Lovecraftian nightmare. Everything’s a bit off or twisted here. And those creatures...
The atmosphere alone is worth experiencing. Add to that an addictive gameplay with tons of different fishes to catch and wonders to see.
Dredge is a class A hidden gem, and highly recommended for anyone who dares to take that leap of faith and plunge into its depths. 9/10 

 

“You’re gonna need a bigger boat…”
