My checklist, a rambler's collection

[Lars]

After a couple of years of trophy hunting i've decided to write a trophy checklist. I've started the list having 94 platinums but i kept updating it throughout the years.

My favourite genre has always been racing, I love to play racing games, but also go out and watch some real-life racing as well. Action games and shooters are also always great. I normally don’t like Japanese style games and strategy games.

I'm pretty proud of my trophy list, i've tried to play as much titles as i can and like and platted a few of which i'm proud.

 

As of writing this now i also started to get into the boardgaming hobby together with my girlfriend which means just as many gaming time but less in front of a screen. Because time is going too fast and i seem to have less of it each month i also decided that a 100% or plat is not always necessary in games. I won't do online grinds anymore, won't be seeking out all season passes and just play games as i like them.

 

But this was enough for an introduction, here we go then, enjoy the ride and the read.

Platinums

 

#1-10

 

 

 

 

 

#1: Skyrim



And I started my platinum run with one of my all-time favourites, this game had everything and is an amazing experience. The game was perfect for the time it came out, of course when you play it now it feels a bit dated but at that time it was perfect, did 3 full runs in which I had 250 hours+ on every account. I think I got the level 50 trophy by using the Oghma Infinium glitch, not because I wanted the trophy but because I wanted to have Daedric armour. I decided to go for the platinum in this game when I had the list almost finished which i found out by accident. Fantastic game, all the systems work and are very solid. Combat is good, the leveling is great. One of the best games i ever played.

Difficulty: 4/10
Enjoyment: 10/10

#2: Ratchet and Clank: A Crank in Time



Fun fact: I recently found out that I got these plats on the same day, but I platted Skyrim just after midnight, and this one after a good night sleep in the evening after a day of school. This has to be my favorite series, the crazy weapons, fun jokes, the levelling, the collectibles (I enjoy them, I think it is fun to search for them and go out of the way for them) the platforming, the colorful levels. This one was fun although I would have enjoyed it more if it had more planets. This is a very good game, the first time you could fly with the spaceship was very cool, the moons were fun to explore and the crazy weapons in this game are the best the series has so far.

Difficulty: 2/10
Enjoyment: 9/10

#3: Far Cry 3



I had never heard of this series before, I found a video on YouTube about it and I decided to buy it immediately. It became one of my favorite games and therefore I decided to try to go for the platinum. This game’s setting was just amazing, its story was also great, and gameplay was great. Exploring the island, leveling Jason and getting insane, this game has it all. The mechanisms are so well done and the game is so immersive. One of the best open world games ever made. One of the few games i enjoyed enough to play multiple times after the platinum and also get the 100% for.

Difficulty: 2/10
Enjoyment 10/10

#4: Grid 2



I had a great time with this series, played a lot of the first Grid and this one as well, I just loved it. Although the cars were a bit drifty in this one. This games trophy list is very easy if you are good at racing games though, there are some time trials that are very difficult to get right if you are not that skillful in these games. And that rival trophy, so annoying, got it after a year of continuously playing the online mode, the rivals that I got from the game never were online. But the game was great.

Difficulty: 4/10 (because the rival trophy)
Enjoyment: 10/10

#5: Infamous



Another PlayStation classic, this was a great game, had so much fun destroying enemies, using those extreme superpowers. Just a blast (no pun intended). But even I was frustrated with these collectibles, I missed one, did 4 rounds of the whole map, the R3 button was destroyed and I still didn’t find that last one, had to do another play through to finally get it. Was proud of this games platinum, I can still recommend this series to every PlayStation gamer out there, play these.

Difficulty: 4/10
Enjoyment: 10/10

#6: L.A. Noire



Good detective game this one, I liked it although I played it without a guide and got stuck on a lot of occasions, and I still felt the game held your hand too much. Because the evidence was already found for you, just look at the ground and you saw the yellow signs and there the evidence was. But I felt very proud to have found the bloody knife myself without using a guide. The activities are a bit boring though, some repetition there although it gave more action moments to this game. The story was good, the collectibles not, these were just impossible to find, really impossible. I found 1 myself, and I searched a lot. I don’t know who made a guide but cheers to him, you have some dedication!!

Difficulty: 3/10
Enjoyment: 8/10

#7: Dirt 3



Dirt 3 is the game that got me into trophy hunting, for me it will always be a game i will put in my top 10 of all time as i loved everything i had to do in it. The mechanics were great, solid car selection and amazing locations. This was one of the only games i kept playing (sp and mp) after getting the platinum. I loved this game except the Gymkhana mode, that was just unnecessary, not fun at all. This game also got me to this site, I looked up the trophy for the joyride, and I was directed to a boosting session. This session was led by @jarethgeason, someone who helped with more games after this one so thanks to him. But I loved this game, great game. Also have the 100%

Difficulty: 5/10
Enjoyment 11/10

#8: Sly Cooper and The Thievius Raccoonius



This was my first game that I played for trophies, but it was a fun choice. This is a very easy platinum but a very enjoyable game and not difficult to get into. Collectibles were easy to find. Levels were very well designed and Sly is a very fun character.

Difficulty: 2/10
Enjoyment: 8/10

#9: Sly 2: Band of Thieves



This was a game I really didn’t enjoy, I don’t know why really but it felt like a drag from the moment I started it. I didn’t enjoy the open areas at all, that’s what I liked about the first game, that it was linear. The minigames didn’t appeal to me. That’s also why I hardly played Sly 3 until now, it has the same problem I feel. I finished this one because the platinum is given to you really, so easy.

Difficulty: 1/10
Enjoyment: 3/10

#10: Motorstorm RC



This is an underrated game, the reviews aren’t that bad but not a lot of people play it. But this game is so much fun. It forces you to keep on improving, because it has some very interesting features, the game doesn’t give you a time to beat for one event, but for a series of events. So you can choose on which event you want to improve yourself, for example if you are very bad at drifting events, well good luck, then you have to be even better on other events. This makes the game loads of fun and a good challenge as well.

Difficulty: 4/10
Enjoyment: 9/10
 

 

#11-20

 

 

 

#11: Need For Speed: Most Wanted



This is a decent open world racer, but for someone playing the original Most Wanted this was a disappointment, I also felt that the controls were a bit weird for Need for Speed, the cars felt really heavy, something that these games continued to have. I also felt that there was a bit of cheating going on, the AI cars that drive on the roads for some reason always drive on the ideal line, this happens in almost every corner which can make the race very frustrating. The game was fun, but not as fun as its predecessor.

Difficulty: 3/10
Enjoyment: 7/10

12: The Walking Dead



This was still a proud platinum, despite its easiness because before this plat everything that had something to do with horror was evaded by me. I just didn’t want to be scared by anything. This game though was absolutely amazing, the tension and the relation between Lee and Clem was great. The only thing that was annoying was the stuttering between two scenes, this meant that sometimes you were drawn out of the story because the pauses got longer and longer. I won’t spoil it but that ending though, I almost had a tear in my eye.

Difficulty: 1/10
Enjoyment: 9/10

13: Call of Juarez: The Cartel



This game of course isn’t the best you can play, the story isn’t amazing, gameplay not the best. But I still liked it, I hadn’t heard of this series before so I wasn’t angry that the setting wasn’t in the Wild West. I actually liked it, the world was bright and varied, I was a lot younger so when I would play it now I maybe wouldn’t like it but I thought this was enjoyable. Platinum wasn’t difficult at all.

Difficulty: 2/10
Enjoyment: 7/10

#14: Ratchet: Deadlocked



This is probably my favourite game from the franchise because it only contains the combat, I really loved this one, despite this one having so many glitches, there was one skill point which didn’t unlock until I tried the same level for 30 times. But the game is lots of fun, I can recommend this one to every Ratchet and Clank fan. Loads of fun and an easy platinum.

Difficulty: 2/10
Enjoyment: 9/10

#15: Ratchet and Clank 3: Up Your Arsenal



Probably the best one in the series, although the new one that came out in 2016 came very close for me. But this game will always be one of my favourites, it is just so much fun, so many weapons, a lot to do. Fun story, strong good characters. A lot of variety in the planets, and just fun to play. The only disadvantage that all these games have is that they make you very overpowered after the first playthrough, and then it is just too easy except for the final boss.

Difficulty: 2/10
Enjoyment: 10/10

#16: Fifa 15 (PS3)



I’m a football fan myself, I always watch all the matches of my favourite Dutch team PSV Eindhoven and from the local amateur team. This game was a fun one but the Fifa’s always feel like updates, the same as with the F1 games for years. Last year’s Fifa was a step forward but still. They always feel and play the same. What I don’t understand with Fifa is how most platinum’s are UR, I know many people play them for fun but especially this platinum is so easy, I think I did the most of the list in just 2 evenings, this one is very easy, PS4 ones are more difficult I must say.

Difficulty: 2/10
Enjoyment: 7/10

#17: The Wolf Among Us (PS3)



I played this one just for the trophies, therefore I couldn’t really get in the story because I was doing something else most of the time. I must say that I regret that now because it got great reviews, so I maybe play this again on PS4 just to experience the story because these point and click games can get very boring if you are distracted and can’t follow the story anymore.

Difficulty: 1/10
Enjoyment: 5/10

#18: Teslagrad (PS3)



A lot of people mentioned this one as a quick and easy platinum, it is definitely quick but not easy, I am very bad at platforming (why did I buy Super Meat Boy, no idea). This game requires you to find all the collectibles, that’s it, no speedruns or anything like that. I still had a lot of difficulty with them because your timing has to be spot on to not die, I got it wrong often and when I succeeded I was just wildly pressing buttons until I got lucky ( I know, brilliant tactic). It was fun but very frustrating for me.

Difficulty: 5/10
Enjoyment: 7/10

#19: Spare Parts



Another game that I regretted playing, I also bought this one for the trophies, I hoped the game would have a nice charm and would be fun. But it just didn’t, because of the camera angle the controls felt very weird, collecting those 100 things wasn’t that bad. But it was just boring, it was colourful but not fun at all.

Difficulty: 2/10
Enjoyment: 5/10

#20: Far Cry 4 (PS3)



First time I platted this game and I liked it a lot, good gameplay, story wasn't that good compared to Far Cry 3 though. In that game it felt logical what the main character was doing and his actions towards his ultimate goal made sense. In this game it didn't felt that way. You go back to your country to spread your mother's ashes, and then you join a group and kill lots of people. I didn't feel the urge to play the story missions to help Ajay reach his goals in this game. But the gameplay itself was very good, constant action, always something to do in Kyrat. For me the only shame is the animals, because after you made the upgrades all the animal encounters become more annoying than useful, and there are some very overpowered weapons this time, especially the buzzsaw. I used it in this playthrough but I didn’t on the PS4, because I didn't like to use it the first time. But I will definitely go back and play some more of the missions. Have 100% on this twice.

#21: Assassin’s Creed 2



This is one of the classic trophy hunter games, I bought it during Christmas but I waited a long time before playing this. The game gets great reviews and I get that, it was definitely not a bad game, my only disadvantage was that I played a game released in 2009 in 2015. Therefore I had other standards, also playing Revelations before this one for example, so for me the game didn’t feel as good as those because I possibly played it too late, but I really liked the game anyway, but not as much as the others.

Difficulty: 3/10
Enjoyment: 7/10

#22: Ratchet and Clank: Full Frontal Assault (QForce, PS3)



This is one of my least favourite Ratchet and Clank games, together with All4One, the combat was good, but there was not enough content, and the tower defence was something that I didn’t really like. There were only 5 missions of which 2 are really short. there were a lot of weapons though, fun ones as well. Story wasn’t good, hardly any story. Fun game, but not as good as the others. And it sucks you cannot track the trophies in this one

Difficulty: 4/10
Enjoyment: 6/10

#23: Escape Dead Island



Wow this game, I know that it wasn’t supposed to be good, I liked some sections, and this game floods you with trophies, just 1 playthrough of 7 hours or so gives you about 35 trophies, don’t even need a guide for them. The collectibles are not hidden as well because the game is very linear. And it reuses a lot of the areas. The only thing the game does is play with your head, makes you question what is happening. For the rest it is just boring I have to say, especially the second playthrough, playing through the dlc though and getting the assault rifle makes the game a lot easier.

Difficulty: 3/10
Enjoyment: 5/10

#24: The Testament of Sherlock Holmes



This was a very easy platinum. I did a stupid thing because I should love this game, this is also a detective game but it gives you a lot more freedom in the areas, you really have to search well to find everything. I decided to use a guide after a while to speed up the process, it did take a lot of fun out of the game though

Difficulty: 1/10
Enjoyment: 5/10

#25: Trine 2



Another game I played because of the gold trophies that the game gave me. The game looks really beautiful, but I suck at 2d platformers, probably the genre that I’m worst at. I just never get good at these, I can play 100ths and I will still suck at them. But this was easy enough to get me through it. The problem with 2d platformers is that I never find out the puzzle solutions, they are often very cleverly made and I’m not able to think of clever ways to use the game mechanics.

Difficulty: 3/10
Enjoyment: 6/10

#26: Sound Shapes



This game is a strange one, I don’t know whose idea it was to make a list with so many silvers. The ironic thing is, everyone thinks that this platinum is very easy, well surprise, it isn’t. The DLC is probably the easiest I will ever play, they take 5 minutes each and give you 5 silver trophies each. The base game though is more difficult then it looks like. You have to play some really difficult levels in this mode. The game is this common though because of the auto pop option in I think now 20 billion different versions.

Difficulty: 3/10
Enjoyment: 7/10

#27: Tour de France 2013: 100^th edition



This is probably the only easy Tour de France plat, they got easier but I still think that 2011 is one of the most ridiculous trophy lists out there, just so grindy. This one requires you only to win every stage once and every jumper, which is not that hard. The game starts of very difficult, you think it is impossible to even win one event. But after a while you can even win events that your rider is not even to close to ideal for. It is a fun game for the short time it lasts

Difficulty: 3/10
Enjoyment: 7/10

#28: MotoGP 14



This game was quite enjoyable, although I enjoy car racing much more. The game isn’t that bad although it gets repetitive quickly, because it is very easy, I had races in which I crashed 7 times and still won. It is a grind towards the end, because you get most of the trophies in the beginning of the game. So it feels like a long game while it isn’t that bad.

Difficulty: 3/10
Enjoyment: 7/10

#29: Saints Row: Gat Out Of Hell



This game was a lot of fun, it has a lot of content to do in it. A lot of mindless fun, you don’t have to think in this game, just destroy, and a constant stream of small grinds to do. Then you get the platinum. The only thing I don’t understand is why they even bothered with a story mode because you just play the open-world minigames that you had to do anyways. The weapons are fun to use, the game is definitely great fun to play, short but sweet. I’m planning to plat it on the PS4 as well in the future because it was free on PS Plus.

Difficulty: 3/10
Enjoyment: 9/10

#30: Geometry Wars 3 Dimensions



This was my proudest platinum for a long time, I wanted to try this game the moment I saw it and also try to get the platinum. I loved every bit of this one. The platinum is a very difficult one, but when I got to grips most levels were really easy to get the 3 stars in. I don't know how it was possible but this game clicked with my brain, i managed to get some top 3 scores on some levels. Still have to thank my friend here who wanted to do the coop together with me. This game is so much fun but beating the dev scores is difficult, especially Andy is really annoying, the trophy tied to beating him took me at least 300 tries on the PS3, it was a lot less on the PS4 where I already have that trophy but not the platinum.

#31: Wanted: Weapons of Fate



I didn’t even know this game was based on a film until a half year after playing this. The game was short, it had some good moments in it but the curved bullets made it very cheap but fun to explore with, although i think they could have made better levels that let the mechanic shine. I was happy though that you could use a glitch that saved 2 play troughs. It was a decent shooter but not more than that

Difficulty: 3/10
Enjoyment: 6/10

#32: Anarchy Rush Hour



This was a very strange game, it is an arcade racer that occurs in a couple of maps. There are a lot of vehicles, the games controls are horrible and very glitchy. The top speeds of most cars exceed 500kph or so when you use boost. But strangely it is fun enough to push through to the plat, although it gets more difficult to the end because the end grind is just stupid. The game takes let’s say 17 hours to plat, you need 45 trophies to unlock the plat, I can guarantee you that you’ll get to 43 of them within 5 hours, the last one requires at least a 10 hour grind so beware of that when you start this.

Difficulty: 2/10
Enjoyment: 7/10

#33: Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD (PS3)



This is probably the shortest and worst Assassin’s Creed, it isn’t a broken game or so although there occur a lot of glitches in the Bayou area, but the story didn’t feel gripping enough, not that many new features although it was cool that you could change outfit which would generate a new approach to gameplay for each of the three styles. The platinum is luckily easy and still quite long because there is a lot of filler content here. But for an easy platinum it is a fun enough experience to keep playing.

Difficulty: 3/10
Enjoyment: 6/10

#34: Far Cry Classic



This game didn’t got the best of reviews, and yes, it isn’t the best of games I know but for a game that old it has its fun moments, although I the enemies in this game have the best sight in the world. When they look in your direction for 1 second you are spotted in this game, that is not a good thing. But it was more fun than expected for a game of this age. The platinum wasn’t that difficult, some trophies for not getting hit were a bit difficult but with a guide they weren’t much trouble.

Difficulty: 3/10
Enjoyment: 7/10

#35: Ratchet and Clank 2: Going Commando



This is again one of my favorite games of all time. This game improved on every aspect of the first one and this introduced weapon levelling, this one had more weapons, more planets, better characters I felt. It was so much fun to play through this one. There are so many cool weapons in this one and each planet is a fun challenge, except for the final boss which is really easy. This is definitely a recommended game for every fan of the franchise.

Difficulty: 2/10
Enjoyment: 10/10

#36: Crysis



This platinum was quite tricky at first, I started on the highest difficulty and the mechanics require some adjustsments in your approach. You can’t run and gun then because you definitely die, so you have to get a bit better at stealth to get this, around chapter three I encountered a difficulty spike and died a lot, but after that I got the hang of it and I went through most chapters rather quickly. It was definitely a fun game, nice setting and for a game this old the graphics were great.

Difficulty: 3.5/10
Enjoyment: 7/10

#37: Magus



Magus is a notorious easy plat, it is a really grindy game compared to the shovelware we see now.

The gameplay in this one was quite fun for the time it lasted although the combat was very easy to exploit with a glitch.

Difficulty: 2/10
Enjoyment: 5/10

#38: Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle



I don’t remember much about this game, I remember that I had some trouble with it because together with 2d platformers fighting games are my worst genre. I just press buttons instead of doing a combo based on my opponents move, I just panic, press buttons and hope my character does some fancy fighting moves and wins. It was enjoyable, but I won’t plat many fighting games anymore I think.

Difficulty: 3/10
Enjoyment: 7/10

#39: Goat Simulator



I can't think of anything serious to say, so I won't do that.
This game is quite funny for a couple of hours, but that's the only thing you need to plat this game.
The infamous flap master wasn't too difficult for me, it took me about 50 tries to get it, so around 15 minutes.

Difficulty: 2/10
Enjoyment: 6/10

#40: WRC 4



This should be a game perfect for me. I am a big fan of racing and especially off-road. This game is fun to play, it has some weak points though. The strong points are: The cars in general are a blast to drive especially the wrc 1 cars and handle nice. Nice variety in rallies and surfaces. Good to see a damage system and also a flashback system.

The games weak point is the wrc 3 class, this class contains 1 car that you can drive, and it didn't handle well. The car feels very heavy and it refuses to go sideways.

in general I had a lot of fun with this game, it's a nice and easy plat.

#41: Bloodbath



This game is really bad, it is just a grind for 10 hours or so and in that time you get a lot of golds and a platinum. You play against bots, only the beginning is a bit tricky because you don’t have upgrades. But the bots don’t scale up with you so after level 5 it is very easy. And then just grind to the end.

Difficulty: 2/10

#42: Deep Black



This game’s idea is original, but so badly done. It just isn’t fun at all to play this game, and also one trophy glitched on me, the trophy for killing every type of enemy with a melee attack, I had hundreds of melee attacks, every type of enemy at least 20 times before it popped. Was happy that I got the plat because it was easy, but not fun.

#43: Spongebob Squarepants: Plankton’s Robotic Revenge

As a kid i played Spongebob Battle for Bikini Bottom which is a great game, this one was not unfortunately. Very short and uninspiring and i finished it just for the trophies. The last trophy is a massive grind as well even decreasing the fun

#44: Ratchet and Clank 1



I played the original trilogy in reverse order, fun fact, I did this as well on PS2. The game isn’t bad but I didn’t enjoy it that much because some features I really enjoyed that were introduced in later games were not in this one, like the levelling. I grinded the bolts with the glitch on the race track. Otherwise I would still be playing it until this day. 

Difficulty: 3/10

#45: Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale



I'm not very skilled in fighting games, and this game hasn't changed that. That's probably why I didn't like the game that much, because I just used basic attacks. I got bored quite quickly with the game, but I already had the multiplayer stuff done at that time. So I pushed through and got the plat done.

Difficulty: 3/10
Enjoyment: 5/10

#46: Men in Black: Alien Crisis



This has to be one of the worst games ever released on the PS3. It is an on-rail shooter with repetitive enemies and gameplay, the graphics are so bad. I don't know if it's implemented in the game in the early chapters, but I found out in the last chapters of my elite playthrough that it is possible to die, that is how easy this game is. 2 of the weapons have infinite ammo and enemies drop many health packs. The only enjoyment I got out of this game are that you will be flooded with trophies, the first 35 can be gotten in around 3 hours. Stay far away from this one, it is a disgrace of a game.

#47: Game of Thrones



This was a game I first intended to play just for trophies because I didn't really care for game of thrones and I never watched it on TV. But the game surprised me, I quiet liked it. There isn't much to tell about it without spoiling the story. The only thing that was annoying where the pauses and lag in the last fighting sequence.

#48: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas



I never thought I would play this amazing game again with trophies, and there it was. I loved this one more than 10 years ago and it is still great to play. There are still as many cool missions as there are suicidal pedestrians that jump in front of your car. Because I already played this so many times it was very easy, wasn't stuck once, didn't even get arrested once until I went for the trophy. Of course there are some glitches in this game, like landscape that loads really late and that cars on highways drive almost you're speed when you're going really fast, and then change to your lane when you're about to overtake, happens a lot this. But it doesn't stand in the way of a great experience. One of the best games ever made and a true masterpiece.

#49: Tales from the Borderlands



Another great Telltale game. This game has some great characters and a good story. And the game has some really funny moments in it which actually made me laugh a couple of times. It's a great game, can advise it to anyone.

#50: Grand Theft Auto V



I'm really proud to have achieved this milestone, never expected to get here in 1,5 years of hunting these beautiful platinum thingies. I normally don't look for something special on my milestones, but I wanted this one to be special. And I decided to do that with one of the best games of the last generation. The multiplayer wasn't that much work for me, because before the time I started hunting trophies, I already achieved a lot of them. I did the platinum medals with a close friend of mine. To finish the sp part when I decided that this was going to be my 50th, was still a lot of work. All the collectibles, stunt jumps and flight stuff, and about 50 gold medals, 100% completion. And because one guy at a taxi depot didn't do his job and called me, I had to start a new game for the private fare trophy. So happy I finally got this, loved the experience, and an ultra rare plat, which is always nice.

Monster Jam is something i enjoy in real life so i wanted to play this game. Unfortunately, the game is not very good. It plays more like a trials game then a monster truck game.

The only time you can drive them in 3d is in stadium events but the handling here is horrendous. The plat is easy but the game is not very good.

#52: Jimmie Johnson: Anything with an Engine



I gave this game a try because i enjoy any racing game. The game is fun to play and on the hardest difficulty it is difficult to win races, but with a lot of second and third places you can still win championships. Especially in the beginning of the game you have the feeling that it is impossible to win a championship, but when you start to master the mechanics it becomes more doable. Especially using weapons in the right way and utilizing tricks to your advantage make a big difference.

Fifa 16 is one of my rarest platinums and is also quite a challenging platinum. I like the game of Fifa although it has a lot of frustrating moments.  Now for the trophies, they introduced something new this year, and therefore the platinum actually took some skill to get, the draft. The drafts are difficult to win, you have to win 4 matches in a row with top players against randoms. You have to draft your team before you start the serie, you normally get Messi and Ronaldo, those kind of players. But your opponents also have these players, so this one is difficult to get. The rest of the list is the standard fifa stuff that is not super difficult but does require some special requirement.

#54: Truck Racer



Truck racer is one of the easier racing titles, mainly because the AI is very slow, you'll win most races without any trouble. Controls are very strange, never seen trucks drift this much, they can hardly brake, but in corners they drift like 4wd rally cars. Damage system is pretty good, except that these trucks can take a lot of hits, but a lot of parts can fall off. Trophy wise it is very easy, when you have beaten the game you will have the platinum.

#55: Zombie Driver HD



This is a surprisingly good game with a fun gameplay loop . In the game there is a good variety of vehicles but you'll probably just use 2 or 3. I can't say much about the story, because there is hardly one, I think nobody really cares about the story of the game. I only know that the city is infested with zombies and that there are still a couple of survivors and you have to save them. The game has 30 missions but the game gets repetitive, because every mission contains of go there and shoot stuff. It isn't boring because that is the fun part of the game but it gets repetitive after a while. The tournament mode is fun, especially the eliminator events, there you can shoot other drivers, races and endurance are quite tricky. The slaughter mode is fun as well, just shooting zombies until you explode, you begin with a basic car but you get upgrades during the round. The trophy list has a nice variety of challenges and easier parts. It is just a solid game.

#56: RIDE (PS3)



Ride is a bike racing game with good graphics and good gameplay. This is one of the better bike racing games i have played and the trophy list worked well for the game as it didn't overstay it's welcome. Ride is a perfect relaxing game that is nice to play

#57: Heavy Fire: Afghanistan


Heavy Rain is an ok rail shooter with poor graphics that is really easy to complete. I'm completely new to rail shooters, never actually played one so it was a bit tricky in the beginning to get used to the gameplay. After that it was really easy, only got stuck at one point which was ch7 in veteran mode. I didn't really enjoy the game, it was quick and easy but for me not a lot of fun.

#58: Wrecked: Revenge Revisited



I like to play lesser known racing games and this is another one of them. I started playing it and it was quite difficult in the beginning, because you can't upgrade your car you'll have to drive good to reach the times. The tracks are nice and varied but the cars don't have much variety as there are only 3 of them. I know this is an indie game so it's probably made with a low budget, but it just misses a couple of things. In my opinion there at least should have been different cars with different performances, and just a free play single player mode, not just the challenges. And why isn't there just a race option, the game only has time trials and a couple of weapon challenges, which are also time trials but you'll have to shoot competitors. The trophies are very easy though, multiplayer can be self-boosted.

#59: Heavy Fire: Shattered Spear



I picked this one up together with HF: Afghanistan, and they are very similar. I had to get used to this one because of the controls, they are very different than its predecessor.  This one was more challenging then Afghanistan, still easy though. But all together I didn't like it, but it was a very easy game, so if you like to have an easy plat, definitely pick this one up.

#60: Singularity



Singulariy is a great Bioshock like shooter that has a strong single player but a lackluster way too grindy multiplayer. The single player experience was so good that I wanted this to be my 100th 100%. The game has a strong story, about a facility on an island in Russia, in the beginning the game had a bit of a creepy vibe, but it never goes the horror way. The gameplay was great, cool setpieces with fun combat and a timeshifting mechanic that works really well. The TMD brought a lot of variety to the combat because of its functions, there were also some unique weapons although the Autocannon and the Valkyrie are the best choices for most of the campaign. I started on the hardest difficulty which wasn't difficult at all, only 2 difficult points in the whole game. The game is not too long but it will give you a great and gripping story in a cool world with nice mechanics. This was a massive surprise for me

The multiplayer however was a whole different story, with a fixed group of 7 we boosted for 2 weeks to get all the trophies. It was a very boring grind, especially the 100 extermination matches take a long time, this is all very boring and it is really stupid that the game requires 6 people to start a match

#61 and Trophy #5000: Top Spin 4



Whoaaa this game, SP is fun but long the multiplayer part of this trophy list drove me nuts but i managed to get it all done. Therefore I’m really proud of having this one for multiple reasons: It is my new rarest platinum, It is my 5000th trophy. And it is a tennis game, if I remember correctly all the tennis platinum’s are in general difficult to get, this was no exception. I like this game, a lot of top players licences they got for this, and the career mode is fun to play with the different tournaments. 

I had fun, SP trophies are easy, some are a bid grindy but it is easy in general. MP is a pain in the rear, i was only able to do this with a good boosting partner. This is just because you cannot escape randoms here, getting to grade 15 is difficult, this can only be done with a level 0 female character, then you're almost sure that you'll get paired up with your boosting partner, then it still takes 5 hours. and the Grand Slam takes 5 accounts, and a lot of patience, the whole process is 15 matches and should take 2 hours, but one random and you can start back at the beginning. Very annoying to get those.

#63: Dead Island: Riptide



I really liked this game, as I said before, gameplay is very important in a game like this, story wasn't that important for me. And that's lucky because it was not a very good one, but the game is fun to play, it never gets old to kill zombies in the most extreme ways. That's what this game does well, a lot of variety in the weapons and how you can customize them which is the main strength of the game. Upgrading your machete with some electricity or fire is so satisfying, when you get these weapons the game becomes a great playground that is all about having fun. Combat is not very difficult, you only have to use a bit of strategy on the more difficult big enemies (Rams) but there are only a few of them. Trophy wise it is very easy, I only had to play it twice for the co-op trophies.

#64: Infamous 2



Infamous 2 is just a great game, i really love the fluid gameplay, the parkour in the city and all the cool superpowers you'll get. The city is one big playground and you feel like an unbeatable superhero all the time. The story was well written but that is not where these games shine. Infamous is all about the combat. This game improves on everything the first one did and that one was already one of my favorite games. The movement is more fluid, combat looks cooler and gives you more options, the blast shards aren't such a massive obstacle anymore and the world is a bit more varied. If you are a playstation fan go and play these games, they are fun and the plats are nothing to difficult.

#65: Ratchet and Clank: Into The Nexus



The 7th plat in my all-time favorite series. The gameplay again was fun although it felt a bit slow because I just played infamous before this one. But when I got used to it, it felt like Ratchet and Clank should be, fun weapons, not to difficult, although the final boss on Legend was a challenge. But, as most people know, this game is to short, I know that it is supposed to be short, but still, 5 planets is not enough. There were enough weapons though, 12 of them and upgrading them all to level 6 took me 3 playthroughs. And it is always good when you can plat were you don't have to watch a guide constantly, that is the advantage of a short game. The trophies of this one are the easiest in the Ratchet and Clank games, that says a lot because they are all easy plats.

#66: Need for Speed (PS4)



Yay, my first real PS4 plat that I got. It was on sale recently and because I love racing games I decided to pick it up. And I must say, I liked it, the game has some weak points but in general I liked it. I had the advantage of buying the deluxe edition which meant that I got the BMW M3 for free in the beginning. This meant that I had a good grip car and I could spent the whole beginning in building a good drift car. The gameplay and cars and the customization are very good to my opinion. The drifting was a bit difficult but when you get used to it it is easy to get the targets. The weaker points for me are the story, the NoS series never gets back to the story telling level that was in the first most wanted. Two negatives for me are the police chases and the open world, police chases as they are too easy and the open world is unnecessary because you can fast travel everywhere. The rest of the game though is good old need for speed fun, good selection of cars and fun and fast racing.

# 67, 68 and 69: Alien Breed 1,2 and 3



I'm quite proud of these platinums as these are definitely not easy platinums, the weird camera angle and difficulty take some getting used to, the gameplay loop is fun and satisfying although it loops a bit much, it gets very repetitive and it doesn't feel like a trilogy, the first level from Alien Breed 1 uses the same mechanics as the last level from Alien Breed 3 and the 3 main weapons are the same in every gam. The co-op is the most difficult part while going for the platinum’s, because there are much more enemies, there is more loot as well but you have to divide it between 2 players. A big thanks to Grey-Avatar for helping me out with the co-op, his skill in these games really made it happen, especially in Alien Breed 2. The co-op trophies in this game are the most difficult trophies in the whole trilogy.

#70: Rocket League



Wow, this game is so much fun. The game is so simple to pick up but difficult to get good at. The trophies for the base game are really easy but the dlc has some more difficult or annoying ones, especially the aerial goal which can be really difficult if you're not good at the game. . This will be one of the few games I will keep on playing after completion, and that means a lot because there are almost no games that I can still enjoy after experiencing everything the game has to offer. So, great game, easy platinum. If you haven't played it yet go out and buy it now.

I picked this game up on sale recently. The game is quite fun and if you are a trophy hunter it is extra fun because of how easy it is. There are only 13 races to complete the story which is way too short, even for a game that has a base price of €12. If you want an easy plat and have fun with an easy plat, pick it up. If you want a good and long kart racer, look further.

Trine 3 is one of the easier 2d platformers on the playstation system. For me this is the perfect level for a 2d platforming game as i'm painfully bad at them. This game is mainly focused on its collectibles that are quite easy to get. The levels and puzzles are not very challenging but i still needed a guide from time to time. It is a fun game though, very colorful and definitely one to recommend.

Then a game that is not enjoyable at all and is one of the most boring things i ever did for trophies. This game showed me the bad side of trophies. The draw of an easier platinum can lead you to boring games like this one. It was way too long, and just not fun at all.

#75: Ratchet and Clank



Another great game my favorite series, only All 4 One left now and then I have all the platinum’s. Ratchet and Clank is a game that in its core is all about going nuts with the craziest weapons. It is not super challenging, especially once you get to stronger weapons, but it is so much fun. The planets are very cool, the weapons amazing and there are so many cool setpieces The only slight negative for the whole series is that the Ryno is not that difficult to get but it is so strong that it is only fun for a short wile. But for the rest, great game, good weapon variety, and an easy platinum.

#77: Table Top Racing: World Tour



Fun little racer here, it isn't that difficult to platinum it. I got the hangs of the drift controls fairly quickly, even the final challenge went fast. There's not much to tell about this game, nothing it really excels at, and nothing in which it is really bad. I liked it for what it was, a small kart racer. Still prefer the more arcade/simulation racers.

#78: CSI: Fatal Conspiracy



Very easy game to plat this one, it was also boring. Í wanted to enjoy this one because I always enjoyed the series as well. The first case I played with a guide because I wanted to get the 100% trophies done. After that I wanted to play the others how they are supposed to be but because I wanted to complete this game rather quickly I decided to use a guide instead. And that was what made it boring for me, could have been a fun game, enjoyed the ones on PC. But I didn't make it fun for myself.

#79: Putty Squad



Another day, another easy platinum. I had to get used to the controls for a while because I’m not good at all when it comes to platform games. I actually quiet enjoyed although I know this is regarded by some as one of the worst games on the system. That is probably because I haven't played a lot of platform games, so my standards are pretty low. The game is pretty easy but I do understand that people don't want to play through this because it is a very old game with old controls and mechanics. All together you almost have to play every level twice, because it is difficult to get the "no food" and "no hearts lost" in the same playthrough.

#81: Murdered: Soul Suspect



This game was a letdown for me as i was really looking forward to this one. That is because they had an interesting concept here which wasn’t worked out well in my opinion. A lot of collectibles that felt more like filler content, also they weren’t really hidden except for some of the city collectibles and the ghost writings. The investigations were a bit pointless because all the evidence could be found in a very small area and the game made it very clear to you what you had to investigate. So it felt more like clicking on stuff the game told you then investigating something. Story was decent, not amazing but not bad either. And for me the demons felt unnecessary, a repetitive enemy that felt more annoying than anything else. They could have done more with it for sure.

#82: Arcade Game Series: Dig Dug


This game is quite deceiving, based on the trophy list and rarity's you expect an easy ride to the plat, the most trophies were easy, but the Centurion, Dig and Rambler trophy were a big challenge for me. The basic gameplay is fairly challenging and unforgiving. Only real negative for is that most of the times the enemies can feel unfair, because they can move faster, they can move through the dirt and don’t have to use the tunnels so for you, it’s almost impossible to have a big distance between you and an enemy.

This game was more fun than the previous because it required action, wasn’t bad and it had some interesting mechanics.

Another one of those easy titles that were released last year. This game can be made easier with cheat codes helping you get some trophies easier.

So it is difficult for me to shoot because it is more guessing then actually aiming at an enemy.

#90: Mx vs Atv: Alive



After all those easy platinum’s it was time for a more difficult one, this platinum isn't a difficult Ultra Rare, it fits more in the Rare category for me difficulty wise. But it is because of 2 things that I think this game has become UR, at first the MP. It doesn't take long at all but 70 races scare people off and people don't even attempt them. Secondly the trick system is not that good, there are not instructions on how to do certain tricks. For example the 360 trick took a while to figure out. Overall the game was fun, but it lacked a sort off campaign mode, you can choose tracks and race on them but it doesn't feel important. It would be more fun I think with a campaign mode. There were only 10 vehicles in the base game, and for me not enough free ride maps (only 2 in the base game). The game has a lot of these small problems that could have polished to make it into a great game instead of a good one.

This was a very easy platinum, but still it felt like a personal victory for me. I have two big weaknesses in things that I’m easily scared off or feel very uncomfortable with. Those are horror things in general, and medical things (can't stand it). The game has some psychological horror which i dealt with fine. The medical stuff was a bit tricky with the broken arm for me.  But I think it was a good story, although there could have been a lot more gameplay, that is something that the developer should improve.

Yes, we all know that this is a horrible game and an easy platinum. It wasn't that bad as I expected though, mainly because I expected 10 hours of horror. I wasn't that bored because the game involves some action. But yes, for the rest it was bad, repetitive missions, strange mechanics. invisible walls everywhere. The racing was the worst though. It didn't matter how big my lead was, my opponents would catch me up with ridiculous rubber banding.

Also the boss battles were good and frequent. It is a very good game that doesn't overstay its welcome

Another platinum closer towards my 100th. I thought this one was a bit deceptive at first, I tried the game without a second controller and it was really difficult. Under Defeat is a game that like any Shmup game offers a good challenge. This game has an exploit that involves letting the game run for some hours leading to infinite continues making the game a breeze. The regular challenge of this game is high, with this exploit the game becomes very easy.

Motorstorm Apocalypse is a very enjoyable racing game full of chaos and crashes. You have to drive through many locations that are being destructed as you drive there. It is a cool game to play, with many cars, tracks and events to keep you busy. 

The game has some tacked on multiplayer that is easily boosted alone.

The single player was a very enjoyable arcade racer that doesn't take too long and gives a lot of fun and excitement. Most events aren't too challenging and you won't see many challenges there. The collectibles are well hidden so you won't find them naturally. The game is just a blast to play and i think any fan of Burnout or other arcade style racers will enjoy this one.

Platinum #100: Horizon Zero Dawn

 

Horizon Zero Dawn was my 100th platinum and it was an amazing journey, i loved every second of this game and i think it is one of my all-time favorite games.

Horizon throws you into the game by letting you fight some fire spitting machine and it makes its intentions clear. The machines in this game are not easy to take down, you have to prepare, you have to know the enemies weaknesses and make sure you have the right resources and ammo for the job. The story in this game is fine, i think the game is mainly carried by the amazing world, the great side content that is very well done as it isn't too much and not too little. 

What i love the most though are the machines, i love that Guerrilla put so much effort in creating many machines that are all interesting in their own ways. They each have their own function and they make the game feel like an ecosystem that is alive. The further you get the bigger, stronger and more dangerous they get. The DLC is also great fun to play making it a game i adore, one of the greatest out there and a game everyone should play.

The game in general was enjoyable. Racing the bikes was fun although it is a shame that the platinum does not require you to drive in the MX1 category. One season of MX2 is enough for getting al sp trophies so it won't take you too long. These games need some getting used to but once you are there you'll win each race easily.

Beautiful platinum image, and that is about all i liked about this game. It was really boring, the story was a bit interesting but difficult to follow imo. In general this is the game, you walk through some English countryside that is completely deserted. A orange light ball guides you and once in a while you come at the point in which orange dust particles shape up like humans and start talking to each other. And that's about it really. Just not my type of game although the scenery and surroundings were very nice.

Superstars V8 racing is a very basic older racing title that shows its age. Despite that i had my fun moments with the game and the platinum is nothing too challenging.

Mayhem 3d is one of the easier and harder to find racing games on the PS3, it only has a physical release making it difficult to find a copy. It is a demolition derby style racing game with black and white graphics that could have been great. Unfortunately the controls are horrendous and the AI rubberbanding makes it more frustrating then fun sometimes. The demolition events are great fun as the controls don't matter that much but the racing events are not fun at all. It is a game that i therefore cannot recommend. The plat is easy but the game has too many frustrating parts to justify its pricepoint.

The Order is another game that could have been great and just was shy of that. I thought the graphics were really cool and so was the level design. The world felt awesome and i thought it was a cool setting as well. Shooting was fine, nothing too special but everything worked like it should and there is a good variety of weapons. The gamelenght was a debate before i played it. So i adjusted my expectations to a short game so that wasn't the biggest issue for me. I do think that the world needed more exploration options, the levels were cool but really linear. My only real big issue with this game were the boss battles, they were all QTE events making them very bland and boring. The same goes for the stealth sections that were tacked on and lacked creativity.

This means that sometimes you are very clearly visible and sometimes you are invisible which makes it very tactical. Trophy wise it's very easy because you can get everything in an offline bot mode with 2 controllers.

#112: Her Majesty's Spiffing


 Point and click title in which you have to find new lands for the people of Britain to live on, at least that's what i believe. I used a guide to not waste to much time on this but it was still very fun with all the humor in this game. I liked it.

 #115: Dying: Reborn

This one is more of a psychological horror puzzle game, i think the game is ok at best and the puzzles are not original at all. You walk through an old hotel while the game gives you the feeling that you are being followed. This one is not very good.

#116: Clockwork: Tales Of Glass and Ink

 

This one was very fun, i think the Artifex Mundi are a great example on how to do a good point and click title. There is nothing out there that is super missable, the game has solid original puzzles with fun hidden object scenes. Nothing is too complex and it is just a relaxing and fun game.

#117: Infamous Second Son

 

I was looking forward to Infamouns Second Son the most as Infamous had become one of my favorite series on the PS3, this game did not disappoint at all. I really enjoyed the fast and quick combat, the fun setting and the great set pieces. The combat was fun and versatile, with Smoke, Neon, Video and Concrete all giving you unique options and abilities throughout the game all focusing on different aspects. Smoke being strong and slow while Neon being weaker but faster for example.

 

I also feel that the story was good fun and was just long enough and i enjoyed what you had to do in the different missions. The game has some nice side content as well. Boss fights were fun except for the final boss who could be a bit cheap on the most difficult level. I enjoyed the combat the most though, the game forces you to be tactical with your combat and you cannot rely on just using one attack and spam that the whole game.

 

A weaker point for me was the evil playthrough as it doesn't make sense at all within the world and with your character. Platinum wise the game isn't super difficult. The game makes you do everything there is including a hard playthrough. This one isn't super difficult especially when you upgrade all your powers.

#118: Wolfenstein: The New Order

What a game!!!

I loved this one so much. This game gives you so much satisfying wild action with amazing locations and great weapons.

I love the level design in this game, it is really clever and each location is balanced so you can go stealth or guns blazing. Going stealth is really difficult but rewarding as the game has a mechanic where you have to kill the commanders to stop the alarm, kill them in stealth and there won't be an alarm at all.

The stealth is good, the gunplay is maybe even better, you can dual wield all weapons in the game. Ammo and health pickups are superfast making the pace of the game also faster. Weapons can be upgraded with different ammo types or with the perks making you feel like a superhuman sometimes.

 

I thought this game would be all about the shooting and less about the story. But the further i got in the more the story gripped me. You start caring about the characters you meet during the story more and more which is unique in a game like this.

 

The platinum for the game is not super difficult, most of the perks you will get naturally and the hard playthrough only requires the final chapter of the game. The collectibles are well hidden in this one. Id software for me does collectibles in a great way where exploration is clever and uses creativity within the design. This is one of the surprise hits and a great game that everyone should play once.

#119: Infamous: First Light

 

Infamous First Light is a game in the same universe as Second Son. It is a shorter and cheaper game in which neon takes a central role. You play through a shorter game with some side activities and a bigger part of the game which is the arena mode.

 

The story is interesting and tells the story of Fetch, the female neon character your meet in Second Son. In Second Son she tells you the story of her brother which is what you experience in this game. The game starts with a mission which displays the final job of Fetch and her brother as drug criminals when a lot goes wrong. Her brother is abducted. I won't tell more about the story because otherwise there will be some spoilers. The story is about 5 hours long and is pretty solid for what it is.

 

Gameplay is fun and really fast, combat is enjoyable and the side content is well done . The map is the same as in Second Son although you only play on the north end of Seattle. In the city you have to fight criminals and collect some collectibles. Nothing is too difficult and it is also not too much. After that you can go on to the arena which is a bit more challenging

 

The 500000 points you have to reach in each arena for their respective trophies seem daunting at first but aren't that difficult. I got most of them within 3 tries. After that you have to clean up the challenges which are in the game. I played the arenas with the challenges in mind (changing weapons and tactics often) and therefore that clean up for me was really short, only had to replay a couple of maps to get some type of enemies to appear. That was it. All in all not to difficult and loads of fun this one.

#120: Far Cry Primal

 

Far Cry Primal is a spin-off on the Far Cry system that uses its own characteristics and style while borrowing some mechanics from Far Cry games like capturing outposts and a similar movement and gameplay feel. But there are some key parts missing for me. In the first place the game doesn't really have a main antagonist that continously haunts and taunts you during the game. You meet them maybe twice each. So you don't feel the hatred towards them that you have with Vaas in Far Cry 3 or Pagan in Far Cry 4. I also found this game lacking in the amount of weapons you can use. There is a bow, a club and a spear, that's about it, this means you have less options for tackling your objectives.

 

The other problems for me are the native language and the animals. Both are cool in the beginning but they start to be annoying really quickly. The native language makes the game difficult to understand and the animals really get in the way when you want to go in stealthy.

 

In general therefore i didn't like the game as much as i wanted to, the start of the game is strong and fun but it gets too repetitive too quick. The world is gorgeous to look at and is definitely one of the better parts of the game. Unfortunately the content in the world is not that fun, side quests are very repetitive and don't offer good rewards.

 

It isn't that i hate the game, but i expect more from a Far Cry game, especially because the franchises two previous games were great.

#121: MXGP 2

 

MXGP 2 is another game from publisher Milestone that brings a lot of racing games that are all mediocre at best.

This one starts out fun, as you experience a lot of new tracks and bikes but this turns out to a repetitive grind pretty quick. The races themselves are pretty easy and don't give you a lot of challenge.

 The different classes feel exactly the same, therefore you don't feel that you make progression.
The platinum is very easy but requires 2 full seasons and all real events, which is a half season if you look at it. One race at every track, although most of them require 2 laps or less.

Difficulty: 2/10
Enjoyment: 6/10

#121: Wolfenstein: The Old Blood

 

As i loved Wolfenstein The New Order i couldn't wait to jump into The Old Blood.

This one offers the same exciting gameplay in a shorter package.

Wolfenstein The Old Blood is a game that is more focused on combat then on stealth as going for stealth is more difficult, and most of the perks are focused on combat.

The game is shorter but is still as fun as ever, there are great set pieces, cool weapons and encounters and well hidden collectibles.

After the story you have to go to the challenges, these take some adjustments as you have to play on harder difficulties. This will take some getting used to in the beginning but when you get used to the difficulty most of the challenges are not that difficult to complete.

 

All in all this is another really solid game in the Wolfenstein franchise.

#123: Mantis Burn Racing

 

Mantis Burn Racing is a decent top down racing game that gives you a lengthy story and some solid gameplay.

The game has quite some tracks and vehicles that you can use, i find that within the 3 classes the cars hardly feel different so you will pick one and won't change that within the class.

 

The career mode is big and has many events, they are spread out between main path events and side events where the main path will give access to new seasons (7 in total) eventually while the side events will get you new upgrades. Afterwards you have to grind to level 50 for the platinum which is a bit long for what the game has to offer.

 

Thats all there is to say about this game, fun, but a bit repetitive

#125: Skyrim (PS4)

 

Skyrim is a game that was my first platinum journey, when playing on my PS4 i decided to go for this platinum again. Skyrim is an amazing experience from the get go, you are a prisoner when your cart gets attacked by a dragon. From that moment onwards you are dropped into a world where everything is possible.

 

The first town you will find will be a sort of tutorial but will also fill your quest log immediately with loads of fun stuff to do. From that moment onwards you can choose between a couple of different paths for your character (arching, two handed combat, one handed combat, mage and much more). I always had a dual character between two handed swords or an archer.

The main quest line will get you to a lot of the world's cities, in these cities you will often be overloaded with stuff to do. When you first go to Whiterun your quest log will be so full that you have more than a day of joy in front of you. All locations and cities in this game feel handcrafted and tell their own story, from a city that is harassed by a serial killer or a city that has a big vampire problem. There is something to do everywhere. There are a couple of big side quest lines which let you be an assassin, a thief, a warrior, a soldier or a mage. 

 

Then there are the Daedric quests which all let you communicate with a god and give you a great weapon or item. Everyone can lose themselves for hours and hours in this world, there are loads of different enemies, loads of cool loot and fun caves, dwarven and ancient ruins to explore. There is so much to talk about, so much to do. In the end, for me, this was (and maybe will be, you never know the future) one of the best gaming experiences i've ever had.

Blackwood Crossing is a walking simulator with a bit of a weird and creepy vibe.

This was the 2nd time for platting this title in which i enjoyed it less then my previous run.

You still have the same fun Saints Row gameplay in this one where you feel like a superhuman, get crazy powers and have play some minigames and missions.

There is hardly any story in here because there are no real missions, they are just the minigames you had to play anyways. This time i noticed that i didn't enjoy the endgame grind which is a pretty significant portion of the game. Keep that in mind when starting this one.

#129: Saints Row: The Third (and 100%)

 

Another game in the Saints Row franchise which i really enjoy. These games have a lot in common with each other, they let you do crazy stuff, with crazy superpowers and unfortunately all involve a massive grind that outstays it's welcome a lot. There are many challenges you have to do and (to) many side missions and therefore the game takes a lot longer.

 

The story in this game makes up for that by a lot as it is really cool. There are so many over the top missions with insane set pieces. This is such a cool game just for that. The upgrades you can get and the weapons you get are also very well done. You start out as a normal mortal character but soon you find yourself sprinting at supersonic spead, having infinite ammo for your guns and even having infinite health. It is all over the top, but also really cool and loads of fun.

 

In general i therefore really enjoyed my time with Saints Row, the story was loads of fun. The grind afterwards was definitely less fun but it was doable. Very good game.

Perfect Angle is a puzzle game where you have to find the perfect angle to solve puzzles.

For the platinum you have to do every level. I only had to use a guide on a couple of levels. Game is nothing too special but it is a decent concept.

 #132: Burnout Paradise

Burnout Paradise was a massive surprise for me, i knew i would enjoy parts of this game as the Burnout franchise is one of my favorites. I played these games so much when i had a ps2 and this one gave me similar vibes. There were some differences of course but the main premise of racing at high speeds, getting constant boost and being able to destroy everything makes this game so much fun. The takedown system is still solid although i would have loved to see some signature moves.

 

The game has a big open world which is very different from the previous burnout games. The world is big and well made, there are loads of collectibles to find and fun activities to do. There are many different events, some are more fun than others but there is not a single one that is boring or feels samey, there is a massive roster of cars that feel and look different making it fun to try out new cars. I also enjoy the DLC part of the game as it introduces a nice new part of the world and fun multiplayer events

 

All in all this is a great game, every Burnout fan will approve of this one and it is a great game. Only frustrating part is the stadium trophy and the fact you'll need an usb camera to get the plat.

This game is pretty easy to complete but if you want to get the 100% it requires some mastery of the mechanics.

Nothing is too difficult but you have to pay attention in the latter levels otherwise you'll waste loads of time.

#139: Far Cry 5:

 

When there is a new Far Cry game i always try to pick them up day one and play them as quick as possible. This one was no exception, i wasn't sure about the setting but that turned out very well in the end. It was another great experience that was great fun to play.

 

In Far Cry 5 we are dropped in Hope County, which is a typical American county and a very different one then the two previous games which had far more exotic reasons. I enjoy this world a lot because of the way exploration works. You have 3 main areas where you can go, and you can go to any of these areas from the beginning. Exploration works very different this time around, you have to talk with people, investigate folders and signs and they will give you new information on the map. These will lead you to new side missions, outposts or places of interest.

 

Each of the areas are guarded by one of the main villains in the game. All of them feel well made and created and you really start to hate them. Also Joseph is a good main villain and he also is someone you want to get. In every region you have to build up notoriety by doing missions and capturing outposts. When you're notoriety is high enough you unlock new missions and finally you can fight the main boss. Repeat this for all 3 regions and you can fight the main boss.

 

This main story is filled with crazy setpieces and is very well done. The bosses create hatred, the missions are cool and they are filled with crazy action. I like the way the story unfolds, unfortunately the ending is really poor. 

 

Side missions are plentiful in this game, there are many outposts to capture that are well designed and fun to conquer. The rest of the side missions where fun as well. I loved the prepper stashes, clever puzzles with a good reward. They were so much fun to do and i really liked the implementation of these. The chuck nixon side missions were also really fun.

All in all Far Cry 5 is a very good game, the ending is not so good, i also dislike that it is very easy to become overpowered early in the game but apart from that it is a game in a great world with well done content and gameplay. It offers the same solid Far Cry experience everyone is expecting.

#142: Tomb Raider

 

Tomb Raider is one of the PS3 games that ended up very high on my want to play list that i made during this time. It has a great world that is rich and fun to explore.

 

In Tomb Raider you are stranded on a mysterious island that is filled with treasures, challenging tombs and enemy encounters. Tomb Raider is mostly a linear game where you play again as the famous Lara Croft. In this game she is not really the cool person that will breeze through T-Rex fights but she is a much more vulnerable state, scrambling through each level and having a difficult time with all the events in the game. Therefore the story feels more touching and i felt a connection with the character.

 

The gameplay of this game is a good mix between platforming, puzzles and combat sections. I felt that the combat was really good. There was a nice variety of weapons and there was a good variety in tactical and guns blazing combat within the game. The puzzles are mostly limited to the different tombs and are nice in difficulty and well varied I also really enjoyed the different collectibles ( with a big exception for the challenges). Tomb Raider is a really well done game with a gripping and grim story and setting. I really enjoyed my time with the game, althought the multiplayer part was way too grindy and unnecessary.

Inksplosion is a decent shmup game that has some frustrating randomness in it.

Each level gives you random enemies with a random weapon. The problem is here that some weapons are really bad and some enemies are stronger then others. 

Therefore you will sometimes get a very easy setup and sometimes a very difficult one. Luckily for the length of the game this doesn't matter a lot.

#144: Far Cry 3 Classic Edition

 

Far Cry 3 was one of my favorite games in the PS3 era so it was a no brainer for me to play through it again.

 

Far Cry 3 is an open world game set on a beautiful tropical island filled with fun content and a lot of danger.

You start the game of being captured by pirates and are saved by a local tribe. You start of with poor weapons, no skills and an island that is being completely controlled by pirates.

You're goal is to become stronger, work your way up in the tribe and liberate the island from all the danger.

 

For most combat sections the game gives you 2 options, going in with our trusted firearms and shooting everyone or going in stealth and trying to take everyone out without being noticed. My personal playstyle is mostly focused on the second option. Liberating an outpost with complete stealth feels really satisfying. I feel that the outposts, the story and the survival in the open world are the games strong points. I also really enjoy the setting and all the animals that can be of massive help or work against you. I felt that some of the collectibles were a bit unnecessary and not every side mission was equally fun. The hunter side quests were great and give you new unique equipment. The other side missions were also fun but there wasn't a lot of incentive to do these as the rewards were lackluster and not unique.

 

Far Cry 3 is a great game and is an amazing foundation for all the games that followed in this franchise. The first part of the story is one of the coolest pieces of video game i've ever played and Vaas rankes high in my antagonist ranking. It's a shame that the 2nd part of the story felt a little rushed and the whole 2nd island is just not as interesting. You are well overpowered, you already have most of the strong weapons in the game, you will have hunted most of the animals and syringes are just not necessary anymore. It's good to see that in follow up games they learned from this. But still, Far Cry 3 is a masterpiece and one of the best out there.

#145: Driveclub

 

Driveclub was one of the first big racing titles that were playable on the PS4 console and i really enjoyed it. I think the game was graphically very strong, had a great roster of cars and tracks and had a fun way of tracking your progress through each part of the career mode.

 

I can be very short about the story as there is no story, this game involves a tour mode which is basically a career like mode where you are set in different cars and you have to finish different events. There are 3 event types, regular races, time trials and drift events. Each event has an extra set of challenges that you have to do to get gold stars, these stars give you progress and access to new events. I really liked that each race had a good and balanced set of challenges. They often involved clean driving, or certain overtakes or lap times you had to get. 

 

I enjoyed this part a lot, another part i really enjoyed is the massive amount of cars that the game puts you in. I think this game really shines and also forces you to drive different cars. Most events can only be completed in a specific car. This game therefore dodges the pitfall of you using the same car for every event or saving money for the quickest car around and only using that one. The handling of these cars is fine, i think some of the cars feel really heavy and especially handling in the rain or around tight corners can get a little frustrating sometimes. This was hindered as well by the graphics of the rain, it was a bit too much sometimes making it difficult to see where you were going and it caused some headaches while playing.

 

Another place where this game shines is the amount of locations, the game makes you drive through some really exotic locations. Nice jungles, mountains or cities. These have some good tracks in them with nice overtaking possibilities and racing lines. The location and car changes made the game have a lot variability and i really enjoyed it. The base game isn't too difficult but the different DLC events had some massive changes in difficulty. There were some time trial events that required some patience and learning the track before a perfect lap was possible.

Driveclub Bikes has exactly the same feel and gameplay as Driveclub but now you drive with bikes.

This game was just as fun and this is still my favorite bike racing game to date.

 

For my full thoughts on Driveclub please read the previous post. This one has a similar feel and gameplay arc, it is a shame though that the game has a massive grind at the end which is completely unnecessary. The time to complete this is longer then it takes to complete the rest of the trophies combined.

#150: Red Dead Redemption

 

Red Dead Redemption was one of my biggest surprises, i loved this game to bits and it remains one of my favorite gaming experiences to date, i'm very happy and proud that this is my 150th platinum.

 

Red Dead Redemption was a game i played in 2 parts, i first played a part of the story, and after 2 years i decided to go back to the game and finish it all up. Luckily i still remembered most of the story so going back to it after that period of time didn't ruin the game for me. I still think Red Dead Redemption is a game with a rich world, a very strong story and solid gameplay. The shooting mechanics in the game work very well, as were are used to see nowadays with rockstar. I really love the concentration mode as it lets you be tactical in where and when to approach. There is a quite some different weapons in the game although i used the same ones for most of the time. Riding your horse is also a big part of the game and this is also very well done. The controls are good, shooting from horseback is fun and it doesn't get boring, that is mainly because of the well crafted and beautiful world.

 

The world in this game is build up with the desert in the USA and a more mountainous region in Mexico, both feel well crafted and are filled with content. In this world you can capture outposts, you can find towns and ranches where you can get side quests, main quests, play minigames or get involved in other activities. I felt that especially the stranger missions were really cool. In the world you can meet some people who have small questlines for you, each of these people feels unique, well written and real. These questlines offer some of the greatest content in the entire game. You can also hunt bounties, animals or try some of the challenges that give you nice perks. There is a lot to do in this world and it all feels natural for your character.

 

The story is very well done, it tells the story of Jack Marston, an outlaw who wants to quit his "job" and then is forced by some corrupt lawmen to fight his old gang and friends. When he fulfills this his name will be cleared and he can live a normal live. This unfolds a witch hunt towards some of his old gang members and it is really well done, characters are very well written and voice-acted. 

 

Unfortunately the multiplayer is a glitchy mess and should be avoided, if you go for the platinum you cannot do this and have to endure it. There is a glitch luckily for the level trophy which saves a lot of time.

 

If you've never played it then try it out, it is a must play game and a great experience. The single player in this game is absolutely amazing.

Need for Speed Shift was another big surprise, it is a different game than the rest of the NFS games but also one of the best in my opinion.

 

It is a racing where you are not being chased by the police in a big city but you are racing on real tracks with real cars. This game tries to go more towards the simulation route and it works well. I feel that the controls in this game are very well done, races are fun and spectacular and there is a good variety in cars and tracks.

The best part about this game is the mastering of tracks, each track has a racing line that you need to master (this means often driving on it for 90% in 1 lap) and you need to master all corners. This is done by driving the perfect line and speed through a particular corner. This you have to do for all tracks and for me at least this felt as a really fun challenge.

The hardest part of the game is getting all epic badges, these require you to do things like win all events, master all circuits or doing some online stuff. I decided to mix it up a bit and again, this for me is a really fun way of adding challenge to a racing game.

Despite its age i can recommend this one to every racing fan out there. The game is really fun.

#152: Gravel

 

This game had some huge potential but unfortunately it didn't live up to it's potential.

My excitement was based on the offroad racing combined with circuit racing. This is something that is really scarce in the gaming environment. The game lets you drive through gorgeous environments with a lot of different cars and locations. One flaw already here is that the graphics are mediocre at best. The surroundings look great but the cars look terrible, like early PS3 models. The worst offender though is the handling, it feels very lackluster and not tested. The cars mostly feel like you are driving on ice, they take a long time to get out of a drift and they drift way too easy. The same goes for breaking, stopping a car is close to impossible and that makes it frustrating at times.

 

Story mode was hardly there and very short, this wasn't directly an issue for me but it is something to be aware of. The voice acting and sound is pretty poor as it is with any milestone game. But despite all these things i had my enjoyment with this one. I thought the locations were great and varied, same for the cars. It is a typical game that could have been great with a little more polish. It is a mediocre game, but because it is a racer i enjoyed it more then most people will.

#153: Mx VS. Atv: Supercross

 

Mx Vs Atv is a franchise that falls in the same category as Gravel in that they are games that could have been greater then they are.

I enjoy them for the most time although they have their strange habits. 

The games all have controls that take some getting used to, a strange way of tackling a career mode where there is not always really one, and a tacked on multiplayer that is dead on arrival but requires some ridiculous trophies anyways.

 

I enjoy these games mostly because they offer good single player racing with some variety in their bikes or ATV's. This one was a lot less fun though then Mx vs ATV Alive. The career mode was really repetitive, and the multiplayer is frustrating. The handling of the bikes is really poor and takes a lot of getting used to before you can enjoy driving them. The ATV's were great to drive and handled pretty well. All in all this game needed some more time in the designing room before being published

 

Difficulty: 5/10 (because of the To The Victor trophy)

Enjoyment: 5/10

 

#154: Devious Dungeons

 

Devious Dungeons is one of the best games that falls in the category of easier platinums.

it is a rogue like platformer which means every time you die you start over. This way you start to learn the game and get further each time.

 

Another aspect of these games is that loot carries over to new playthroughs. So each enemy you kill will give you progress towards upgrades and new weapons. This way the game becomes easier each time you play. I thought the combat and level design in this one was really good and really fun.

Fullblast is one of the easiest platinums out there. It is a shmup game where you have to complete 3 levels. That it, 3 levels and a platinum.

#156: Doom

 

Doom is a great FPS from the same team that created the Wolfenstein games.

it tells the story of a portal that is accidentally opened on Mars leading to an alien invasion on the planet.

You play as the doomguy and your goal is to shoot as many aliens as possible. You start out with a basic shotgun and you will find new weapons and upgrade your existing ones throughout the game.

 

This game isn't about the story though, this is all about the gameplay. Shooting in this game is great, you have a great variety of weapons to use in a very fast pace combat style, you will jump and slide between platforms with enemies coming from all directions. Everything feels fast and well done, every enemy will drop some health or ammo when you kill them. 

The combat shines in its pace and the fact that resources shift so quickly, you will go through ammo and health really fast but all the enemies give it back again. The pickups go automatically contributing to the fast pace. What makes the game even cooler is the glory kill system, if you damage an enemy enough it will start to shine and you can make a special animated kill, these kills are not only really cool but also give you more resources making them very useful within the game as well.

 

Next to the combat the other stronger point, although not perfect, is the level design. Most levels have a great layout giving you different platforms or rooms to funnel and evade enemies, you can jump or run between these very fast. Because some levels are busy it can be difficult to keep track of each enemy constantly which will surprise you sometimes. My only negative is that the levels only have 3 settings making them feel similar and less varied.

The levels have a very good length to them and they reward exploration. Collectibles are well hidden and some upgrades and extra ammo is hidden as well.

 I do think though that the 3d map that the game provides for each level is difficult to navigate and therefore pretty useless

 

One thing that is really a negative though is the DLC trick this game pulled on me. I bought the season pass, didn't realize that i had to purchase the DLC packs for free so i didn't get them. Then the game made the DLC free but only unlockable after a big grind and i didn't have access to my purchased content.

#157: Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition (PS4)

Bulletstorm is one of the more underrated shooters on the Playstation and a game that i really love.

You crash into a strange planet where all inhabitants want to kill you, the story is pretty boring but the gameplay is amazing and on of the most unique in a shooter game.

 

The game gives you some abilities that create new ways of tackling enemy encounters. You can kick enemies off ledges or into scenery, you have a leash which can be used to pull enemies towards you. The leash also has a more powerful version which is called the thumper. The thumper can be used to thump all enemies in the area of effect in the air and they are easy targets then. Furthermore you have a lot of weapons that have a primary and secondary fire. Where the secondary fire is often a way more powerful version that has very limited ammo. The game lets you be very creative in the way you kill people, with creative kills getting you skillshots, for bonus points.

 

Normally this wouldn't matter but in this game the points are the currency to buy upgrades and ammo. This means that the game forces and wants you to be creative with your kills which makes the gameplay varied and loads of fun. You for example can kick enemies of bridges, you can kick them into a cactus, into a furnace. You can use a gun which fires and lets you explode the bullet. There are 113 different skillshots but they could've made over 500. For me that is where the strenght of the game is, you have to vary weapons and strategy to get through this and this leads to new and creative ways of killing your enemies.

 

Trophy wise the game is a bit tricky, you have to get all skillshots, have to finish the game on the highest difficulty and, this is the most challenging, the online echoes and anarchy modes. To get all the trophies in these modes you have to get some perfect runs that require a lot of patience and co-ordination.

 

This game is definitely a recommendation for every FPS lover. Especially if you are used to the general FPS titles then this will be a massive breath of fresh air. The game offers some cool setpieces and one of the best FPS combat systems out there.

#159: Prototype 2

Prototype is a game where you play as a superhuman in a city where there is a virus going round. The protagonist (Heller) has to go through this city completing numerous missions and activities to battle this virus.

 

Hellers main power is to consume other people, this way he can shift between himself and the human he consumed, this can be used to do things stealthy or to use these people to enter closed facilities. There are also important people/enemies that can be consumed for new powers, extra xp or to get new side missions. Story isn't that interesting with Heller wanting his daughter back from an organisation but it doesn't connect on an emotional level to make me care a lot about it.

 

The gameplay is fun, you feel that Heller is getting stronger and stronger everytime you upgrade a level or a power because the upgrades are good and noticeable. The different powers are also very fun to use against enemies. When you have Heller fully upgraded the game is really easy because Heller is really overpowered then. All the powers make short work off the different enemies.

 

The open world is decent, most buildings are pretty general but it is still fun to traverse it with your movement powers, you can fly, wall run and hover your way around the city. You also can use tanks and helicopters. Next to your body powers you can also use the weapons that are dropped by military enemies, generally these are assault rifles, rocket launchers or grenade launchers.

In this game it is also advised to go for collectibles because every small set that you complete gives you an upgrade choice so that is an easy way to upgrade your character. Also a very good use of collectibles. The trophies are all very easy to get because the hardest difficulty one can be done on new game plus with OP Heller.

#160 and my 10.000th trophy:

Saints Row 4 Platinum and 100%

 

In this game you still play as the Saints and you have entered the white house and are president of the United States. Then the creativity of the story team went a bit out of the window because suddenly there were aliens. An alien invasion enters the earth and all characters are captured by the main antagonist Zinyak. They are trapped inside a simulation of Steelport. Because this is a simulation the characters can have all kind of cool things like superpowers. When you enter the simulation you almost immediately are able to use superpowers. These consist of a blast, a stomp (ground punch kind of thing), telekinesis and buff. Buff is an area attack around you. These superpowers can be used next to loads of weapons. these consist of the regular weapons like an assault rifle and a shotgun. But after a while and after completing some main and side missions you get access to alien weapons. These are really overpowered. There is an levitating weapon, a blackhole gun. The really fun dubstep gun. Most of these are special versions of the regular weapons.

 

The game consists of main story missions, and side activities. The main mission are really fun and varied, although most of them consist of loads of over the top action and carnage or over the top NSFW jokes and settings. Every mission has the same goal, save yourself and friends from Zinyak and kill loads of aliens. The side activities are varied and loads of fun, they differ from mayhems, superpowered time trials and for example fight clubs. Most of the side quests have no story but only one goal, gather either XP or money

 

Aside from these activities you can get a lot of fun out of causing chaos and carnage on the map. Because of all the upgraded weapons and superpowers you have you can have an amazing time in this sandbox. One small disadvantage for some will be that the game will get very easy very fast, you overlevel and overupgrade yourself within hours of starting the game making it very easy. The game also is prone to glitching and crashing, especially within the DLC missions the game crashed a lot. Despite that i had loads of fun with this title.

This is a fun little game that is very comparable to Geometry Wars. It is a 2d twin stick shooter where you can move in all directions and shoot in all of them.

#173: Just Cause 3

 

Just Cause 3 is one of my prouder platinums on the PS4, the game is very similar to it's predecessor in letting you destroy all environments. The game has a massive open world filled with content to get through, there is a story but your main part will be going through the world taking out enemy outposts and towns and liberate the island.

 

You are in a land called Medici, which is ruled by a dictator called Di Ravello. Your goal is to get rid of him and his army. He has taken over the entire land (which contains of 3 parts, one massive island and two parts with smaller islands) and owns all villages, towns, cities and there are military bases and camps. Your goal is to take over every single one of them which you do by blowing up all the red marked items in the area. Furthermore you have to collect all collectibles which are luckily marked on your map otherwise they would be impossible to find. The story of the game is pretty forgettable but there are some cool setpieces within it. The main draw of the game is the open world carnage which is loads of fun, although somewhat repetitive. You have some powerful weapons and vehicles to your disposal like RPG's and really fun to use attack choppers. The main fun of the game comes with chaining together destruction objects and destroying the military wherever you can.

 

The main fun comes from the carnage, the difficulty comes with all the challenges on the map. For the platinum you have to get 5 gears on all of them.
The challenges consist of a couple of types. They are destruction challenges, these are by far the easiest to do. The vehicle challenges have some swinginess in their difficulty which is mainly caused by the bad controls making the challenges more difficult then necessary. The wingsuit challenges though are from a different kind. They can be really frustrating for some people as they require high precision and almost perfect runs for the 5 gear score.

 

The game also has some negatives, as said before it becomes really repetitive. None of the locations have different or unique requirements, they are all identical in their way to complete them. When there is a lot of carnage the game drops massively in FPS and it will crash sometimes. The feeds require an online connection but when playing this the connection is really wonky and unstable. This is not directly a negative but beware that playing the DLC first gives you access to weapons that are so overpowered they drag all the fun out of the game.

#176: Assassin’s Creed Rogue

Assassin's Creed Rogue is a spin off title that is based on Black Flag, it has a very similar feel and gameplay to it. Assassin's Creed Rogue tells the story of a templar, for the first and only time in the franchise you're not fighting them but joining them. Your character still has the same kind of robes and abilities so gameplay wise there is no different feel to this game then the others. The setting for this one is more northern and therefore there is a lot of ice and snow in the environment. This game consists of a shorter story then previous titles but the amount of content in the world is still very similar. It is a bit more old school then Black Flag as the game requires you to complete it almost 100%, the story isn't that bad timewise but the side content can put people off this one as there is a lot of it. I found in this game that the story was fine, but the side content was really relaxing to complete.

 

To complete the game you have to go to all islands, collect most of the collectibles and do almost all side missions. Calculated i would guess the main story will take somewhere between 10-15 hours but the cleanup will be over 20 hours. I really enjoyed my time with this game, the story wasn't something to remember but the side activities were fun and didn't require any handholding from a guide, nothing is missable so you can play this at your own pace. It was a very relaxing cleanup and i enjoyed almost everything i had to do in this game.

#183: Far Cry New Dawn:

 

 

Far Cry New Dawn is a spin off to the well loved Far Cry 5, a game that i really enjoyed. In this game you'll visit a post apocalyptic Hope County where The Highwaymen have taken over the gorgeous and colorful landscape. Far Cry New Dawn is a good game but not as great as its predecessors.

 

The game starts off with some wild action and cool missions, i really enjoy the missions in this game as they are cool, there is a lot of action setpieces that are all fun. Most of the missions offer good variability in what to do. The story behind is very lackluster though, the main antagonists are easy forgettable and the rest of the story is equally uninteresting. I found by the end that i completely forgot what the whole story was about and that i didn't care at all about what happened in it. Same goes for the boss battles, they were pretty lackluster and not memorable.

 

As the story is forgettable the game has to shine in its gameplay, and this is where the game is a lot stronger. As said, the story still has very good gameplay. The open world offers some nice content as well although i feel that here some things also missed the mark. The gunplay in the game is really good. There are loads of weapons and i enjoy that there are multiple tiers of each, forcing you to change you approach and loadout constantly. Especially that sawlauncher was an amazing weapon to use and way too overpowered to be honest. The open world offers some nice setpieces as well but i felt there could have been more. The game utilizes a RPG like game system where enemies now are leveled, same goes for the guns and the gear you have. This means that in the beginning the game is extremely challenging and unforgiving, on the other hand the system isn't finetuned enough to remain interesting for the rest of the game, it is very easy to overlevel yourself very early and there are many resource for everything you want to do.

 

This is also where i feel that the game missed the mark slightly, it is too easy to quick. On top of that there is quite some unnecessary grinding. The outposts in this game are fun but there are only 10, that's why the designers decided to make them replayable with increased difficulty. Because of the lack of side content there are some expeditions in the game, they take you too less interesting locations to do a mission of some sorts, these you also have to finish 3 times each which feels very unnecessary. These are the main things that held the game back for me, it starts out fun and challenging, but towards the end it becomes easier and it feels more like unnecessary filler content.

#184: Sniper Elite 3(PS3)

 

Sniper Elite 3 was a great experience and my first dive in Rebellion's Sniper games. You are an American Sniper in the 2nd world war and occupied with infiltrating a secret nazi progam of making a V2 rocket somewhere in the desert. You have to traversere multiple pieces of African land, desert and mountains. I really enjoy the different environments the game lets you shoot nazi's in. The level design is superb and really drags you into the story, i also really enjoy the way Rebellion handles collectibles and in this game that is no different, some are very easy to find but i love the ones that you have to shoot. I agree that some of them feel impossible to find and we only the most of respect for people who make guides because i can imagine they will take forever to find, but they are great to hunt down.

 

Next to the level design and the collectibles the gunplay is the most important and the game makes you feel like an actual sniper. Your character is rubbish at short term combat so you need to be tactical, you need a good plan to be able to get through missions. To do this the game gives you a great arsenal of different weapons and traps. You want to scavenge the areas for supplies and want to search for good vantage points. Staying silent as long as possible is a great strategy and should always be your goal. But the most important is making smart use of your gear and traps. The different mines you can use always guarantee free kills and make sure you are not getting flanked. I love the tactics of the different levels and each level requires a different approach.

 

Authentic is even more difficult because you have to consider wind and distance with your shots making it much more difficult. One missed shot means death most of the time. Luckily i was able to do this in coop utilizing a glitch where one person could still use normal aim and had a hud where everything was visible. 

 

Sniper Elite 3 was a very enjoyable experience, the game is fun but challenging. The platinum is doable with some perseverance but definitely requires you to do everything the game has to offer. Only the multiplayer is not very fun to do.  

 

Difficulty: 5/10 (would be much higher if Authentic would be done without glitch and solo)

#191, 192 and 193: Spyro Reignited Trilogy

 

 

The trilogy of Spyro is one of the best gaming experiences i've had in a long time. You'll enter this beautiful world and you want to solve puzzles, fight enemies and collect loads and loads of gems. Each game is set in the same environments but each level is a new uniquely designed world. None of them are overly big so the collectibles never become frustrating but you have to be careful to collect the all. Next to the gems you also have to save dragons and collect eggs, these are better hidden or locked behind combat or puzzle.

 

I didn't feel there was a lot of difference between the 3 games except for the orb challenges that were sometimes a bit difficult but really fun. The game involves some sections where you have to run or fly in a certain time limit which are never too difficult. 

 

All in all these games are very relaxing, beautiful games that are a blast to play. You can relax, get some fun miscellaneous trophies that are all equally beautiful. For me they were the first time playing through these so no nostalgia but so much fun. One of the biggest surprises in years for me and a great experience.

 The game itself is a bland puzzle game. i used a guide for some puzzles as i didn't fully understand the logic

#200: Rage 2

 

Rage 2 was a game i had huge excitement for. It is from the same team that brought us Wolfenstein and Doom. I never played the first Rage game so i didn't have a problem with the open world take on the game. Unfortunately the game has some problems which keep it from greatness.

 

First the positives. I feel that the controls and setting of this game are both really good. At least, the controls on foot, in cars it gets a bit wonky. I really love the wasteland and the locations within the game. I feel that the locations are well varied and offer some nice gameplay within. Furthermore i really like the shining piece of ID software and that is the shooting. In this game it again feels fun and very fast. There is a lot of action and quick shooting with fun weapons. It is a very strong part of the game.

 

The negatives for me are mainly in the open world design and the story. The story is bland with uninteresting characters that are just not fun and boring. Furthermore i kept on noticing that this team hadn't made any open world game before. Most locations felt fun, but the space in between felt really boring and tedious to get through. I also felt that this game underutilized some features. There are very few races in the game but they are very fun. In between locations there just wasn't a lot to do. I would have rather seen some more unique weapons, upgrades or crazy setpieces then the boring traversal of this world. 

 

Another disappointment was the trophy list, there were some strange decisions made here, for me the most stupid was the one trophy that requires you to use the same vehicle for almost the entire game if you don't want a massive grind by the end. These kind of things could and should have been polished out and then it would be much better. Another strange decision is that the DLC is behind a microtransaction paywall. This just causes anger among gamers and the publisher should know this, making it a really stupid and strange decision.

#210: Sleeping Dogs

And then something terrible happened, my PS4 broke down. I was in the middle of platting Mad Max and it just broke, luckily i had my save backed up. For people reading further it will show up again somewhere. But for 1,5 years i was tied to my PS3 and played my most wanted to play games on this console. I had some of the best gaming experiences out there and still planning on going back to it again.

 

My biggest one i wanted to play was Sleeping Dogs and it didn't disappoint. This is an open world game based in Hong Kong where you play as an undercover police agent infiltrating the Mafia.

The world feels amazing, the city is well made and it feels like you are walking through Hong Kong with the market, the decorations and all the buildings. The story is solid but nothing too special but where this game shines is the combat, the combat is mostly melee combat where the most fun part is that you can use the environment for different kills. I mean, how cool is it to hit someone in the face with a fish.

It also has some shooting sections but they are limited and not as good as the melee part. The platinum isn't difficult but still requires you too 100% the game which i always enjoy. I also finished the DLC for this one, great game that i can recommend to anyone

#211: Red Faction: Armageddon

The positive part about the broken PS4 was that it forced me to go back to my old love: my PS3.

I decided to make a list of games i wanted to play the most and this one was in the top 10, together with sleeping dogs. Red Faction Armageddon is a linear shooter where you can destroy everything there is. I already did the mp part years before the single player which was another motivation to go back to it.

The single player campaign was definitely fun although on highest difficulty the spikes were sometimes too high and there was too much chaos. Luckily there is an easy solution, you can just run past all the enemies to the next checkpoint. 

Of course this is not the way you want to play a game like this which diminished the fun a little. 

In general the game is a lot of fun, you get a lot of fun weapons and the rest of the trophy list lets you dip into all mechanics and weapons without forcing anything upon you. Just a solid shooter that was nice to play

 

Difficulty: 4/10

Enjoyment: 8/10

 

#212: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

Kingdoms of Amalur was probably my number 1 game in that particular top 10. I really enjoyed the look of this game and it didn't disappoint. 

The story is not where this game shines but the gameplay part of this game for me is on par with the fun i had in Skyrim. The world is fun to explore, vibrant in colors and feels alive. The combat is where this game really shines, everything moves so fluid, there is a great diversity in weapons and magic powers to utilise which makes the combat so much fun. If anyone out there is looking for a rpg with great combat then this is a no brainer, go get this one

 

Furthermore this game does everything a good rpg does, there is loads of sidecontent, fun questlines, a lot of (hidden) loot and places to explore. The highest difficulty was (as is often the case with rpg's only difficult in the beginning, when you get stronger gear you get overleveled easily. The trophy list for this game was fine although some things could have been better. For the optimal platinum run the game forces you to put skill points and upgrades into specific categories as they would become unattainable if you don't do that. For me though, that is the only negative in an otherwise amazing experience. I enjoyed every second and encounter i had in this game and was one of my most enjoyable games i played on the PS3

 

Difficulty: 4/10

#213: Cars: Race o Rama

Cars Race o Rama is an easy but nostalgic racer. As a kid i loved the Cars movies so in this game i felt right at home. It is a very easy racer where you will easily win all races without to much effort. Furthermore it won't take long at all, i platted the game in one afternoon. Still i was very happy to have played this one, it was just fun to enter this world and have some fun racing.

 

Difficulty: 2/10

Enjoyment: 7/10

 

#214: Assassin's Creed 3

Assassin's Creed 3 was a divisive game for me, i enjoyed some parts a lot and some parts i didn't like at all.

My main driving force to go for the platinum was the fact that i did the multiplayer already and it felt strange to put in that time and not try the single player as well. I think my main issue with the game was the fact i already played AC 4 Black Flag before this one. So this was more of a dumbed down version of AC4.

I didn't care a lot for the story, as i do in most games, the gameplay was again very good as you would expect from Assassin's creed games, although sometimes the parcour felt a little off. I really enjoyed exploring the frontier, the cities were just as fun as other titles in the series. Getting the specific mission objectives has been something i never really enjoyed in these games so here that was no different. On the other hand, a lot of the side content was really fun, the naval missions, the forts and assassinations were all great fun. Even the collectibles were not too bad. Some trophies were infuriating though. 100% completion i felt was fine, i even feel that every open world game should force you that for the platinum. Everything regarding the homestead though was not so fun, the encyclopedia was just boring, playing the games was just not fun at all. As i did these activities at the end of my run it left a sour taste in my mouth. 

With the amount of other AC games out there nowadays it becomes more difficult to recommend this one as others are just better

#215: Blur

Blur was a game that i platted in phases, i remember doing the multiplayer without boosting, then doing the single player years later and then finishing up the highest difficulty a year after that. Blur is a game that will challenge you, that will ask a lot of your capabilities but it is so much fun. This has to be one of my favorite racing games of all time. The gameplay is very good, it is basically mario kart with real cars. There are many different event types that are all enjoyable. What i enjoy the most though is that the game is not just about pure speed and chaos, you have to be tactical with your powerups and know how to use them to your advantage on the right moments. And you are going to need it as the game is difficult, and the trophy requirements are even harder. The multiplayer is already challenging but some of the single player challenges will require a lot of practice before you can pull them off. 

I can safely say now that this is one of the proudest platinums i have on my profile and also one of the most enjoyable. Amazing game, it's a shame that it never got a sequel or a remake.

If it ever gets one though they should remove that trophy that requires 4 controllers, that is just ridiculous

 

Difficulty: 8/10

Enjoyment: 10/10

 

#216: Gran Turismo 6

Gran Turismo 6 was a game where i was so close to the platinum that it was strange not to finish it. I only needed to gold 2 more license tests.

Gran Turismo 6 is a great racing game, as is any Gran Turismo game. You get a massive amount of cars and tracks to your disposal and you can do events in any order. I enjoyed my time with this one a lot although i feel the reward cars are not that fun as they used to be. 

The difficulty went down a lot after Gran Turismo 5, that is for the better i feel as that game was too much for me.

In general i feel that this is just a solid racer but not one that fans of the series will say is their favorite

100% games

These are all games that I got the 100% in but that don’t have a platinum

#1-10

 

 

 

#1: Tekken Revolution



This was free in the Playstation store, the game was quite fun to play and very easy to 100%, it takes 10 days though because you need to sign in that many days in a row, that’s all I can remember about this game

Difficulty: 2/10
Enjoyment: 8/10

#2: Mad Riders



This is a sort of freestyle quad and motorbike racer, it was definitely fun to play through this game although it took a while, especially the MP grind. You could compare this game a bit to Nail’d, or the Motorstorm games, also tracks with a lot of height difference. Also bought the DLC for this game and completed that as well.

Difficulty: 4/10
Enjoyment: 7/10

#3: Infamous: Festival of Blood



Very enjoyable experience this one, a lot of fun to play and 100% this game. A very good spin-off from one of my favourite series, don’t remember much but I think there were vampire powers in this one and they were lots of fun to use. Story wasn’t long so a good and fun game for a low price.

Difficulty: 3/10
Enjoyment: 9/10

#4: Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon



Another amazing spin-off, with a fully designed open world. I think that this could have been a game with a platinum because there was quite a lot of content here. But the jokes, the gameplay and especially those cyber-dragons, so cool. Ubisoft gets a lot of critique but I feel that this series is one of their best ones, it really evolved into a strong franchise. With Far Cry 3 as their best one.

Difficulty: 3/10
Enjoyment: 9/10

#5: Telltale games





I’ve named this section like this because these games are all the same. You follow a guide for 1,5 hours and you have earned a 100% and 12 trophies. I’ve done all episodes from: Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse, Sam & Max Beyond Time & Space, Back to the Future, Jurassic Park, Tales of Monkey Island. I didn’t want to write a small piece about every one of them because I can’t tell anything about them. It wasn’t always that enjoyable but I did around one game per evening in the holiday, starting at 11pm and when I was finished I went to bed. Haven’t played Strong Bad because I couldn’t be bothered to be honest.

Difficulty: 1/10
Enjoyment: 5/10

#6: Urban Trial Freestyle



Probably one of my proudest 100% games of all the games I own, this one was difficult, needed a lot of tries for most levels to finish them because the 5 star requirements demanded a perfect run. This was a difficult one and I normally would have given up but because only 2 trophies were difficult I kept on going and finally got this one. Proud moment that was. But the game itself is a blast, really looking forward to playing Trials Fusion on the PS4.

Difficulty: 8/10
Enjoyment: 9/10

#7: Astro Tripper



Fun little shmup here, game is very short, only a couple of levels long, every level required some special feature that gives you a trophy, not too difficult this one although for people who are not really into this genre this could be a challenge

Difficulty: 4/10
Enjoyment: 7/10

#8: Contrast (PS3)



Platformer with an original idea, but because I’m very bad in these puzzle like games I needed a guide for almost the whole game so that destroyed the fun a bit. Very short game as well, only 3 hours long on my speed, so that’s even shorter for someone who is used to these games

Difficulty: 3/10
Enjoyment: 6/10

#9: Walking Dead: Season 2



Good game again from Telltale, although I felt that the first one was better, I felt that the characters in the first one were stronger than the characters in the second season. But the game was fun too experience, can’t wait for season 3. Hold on Clem, I’ll come back.

#12: Sportsfriends



This could be a great party game I think, but I played it on my own, poor me. Trophies were easy though, I first did the 1000 wins in a certain game by putting the controller in a certain position and then laying my pillow on it. For the rest the game was quite easy and it gives a lot of rare trophies.

Difficulty: 2/10

#13: Cel Damage HD



This game was actually a lot of fun, this was a car combat game. To 100% it you have to play some games for 3 hours, and it was actually a blast to play this one, I really enjoyed this one.

Difficulty: 3/10

#14: The Swapper



I think, if we would live in a world without guides, this would be one of the most difficult trophy lists ever made, I don’t know who found them, but the collectibles are hidden in insane places. The puzzles were really clever and as usual I wasn’t able to finish them quick enough so I used a guide.

I don’t know why but this game felt like torture to me, it took me almost 5 days to play through it with a walkthrough that only lasted 2 hours or so. I couldn’t be bothered but I wanted to get the 100% as well, very easy but not fun for me

Difficulty: 1/10

#17: Unmechanical Extended



This game was more enjoyable then QUBE but again, I used a guide which robbed the game from its charm. But I liked the graphics, some puzzles were very clever and I was even able to solve a couple without looking at the guide, applauding for myself here.

#20: Dead Space Ignition:

#22: Datura



This game was a bit strange, i didn't understand at all what was happening. You walk around in a forest and have to solve some puzzles. The game is very short, i think my playtime was 1,5 hours. Not much to tell more about this, one of those games that you play for trophies because it is quick and easy. You play it with a guide, without really paying attention, get a 100% and then delete it again. But it wasn't fun, and very short, there are just 2 areas with 4 puzzles each, and you're done.

Difficulty: 1/10
Enjoyment: 3/10

#23: Gone Home



Walking simulator that was free for PS Plus a while ago, decided to go for the 100% because it wasn’t that hard to do. Finished it in a week or so, with a lot of pauses because it wasn’t that enjoyable.

Difficulty: 3/10

#25: Rock 'n Racing Offroad Dx

I have played lots of easy games recently, these often have a reputation of easy, but very bad.

Well, they're nothing compared to this game, this was the first time i actually wanted my money back and that has happened for the first time.

I read reviews before i buy a game and i know that this game already got bad reviews, but so did Orc Slayer, Coffin Dodgers and Magus. They were definetely not good but still they had some enjoyment in them because they were playable.

This game is so bad in all its ways that it sometimes feels unplayable, this is why.

At first there is the camera, it is stationairy at one point so it is difficult to spot bumps in the road, when you drive over such a bump the car jumps and sometimes rolls without any explanation, if you land on a bump the car always behaves strange, sometimes it stops, sometimes it magically receives a huge boost and you crash. It also has a classic one from Road to Hell (haven't played this, but seen the footage) which is that the car if you land a jump always shoots of to one of the sides without explanation. Then your opponents, they're horrible, it feels like the car you drive weighs nothing and theirs have the weight of a truck, they crash in you so often and you are always the victim, when they crash in to you it is basically end of the race, because you crash in the wall and before you are out of that position the race has finished. And this happens way to often.

The tracks are recycled everytime with some bumps in different places, the cars are not that original and the monstertruck is the worst, because you can't determine what the front and what the back of the car is. The only positive part of this game is that it is very short, normally not a good thing but for a game this bad it is better. The trophies themselfs are easy, but because of the issues the last 3 cups have a lot of luck involved in them, because one crash and the race is over, and guess what, when you restart you have to restart the whole championship so when this happens you have to do a whole championship over.

This is my first 1/10, and i hope it is my last as well.

#28: The Walking Dead: Michonne

It's been a while since i played this one so i don't remember the story exactly. What i did remember though was that this game was really enjoyable, it wasn't that long but for me it was longer because i only downloaded the first episode and had to wait before the other 2 were finished downloading. You play as Michonne, you start out on a boat and eventually end up in a family house. That's all i will spoil about this game. Of course in the meantime all the general Telltale crazy scenes and emotional moments surpass which makes this one of the more enjoyable games from the last month

Nice walking simulator here with very nice environments.

One of my favourite indie games to play. Loads of action, sometimes too much because you can get lost as your car is in the carnage and you can't find it anymore.

100% DLC:

 

 

Dirt 3 DLC:



This was something that i bought before i was into trophies, most of them are very easy, especially compared to the base game, i only got help for one of them because nobody played on the specific tracks, very enjoyable, just like the main game

Difficulty: 3/10
Enjoyment: 9/10

Underwater Labs:



This DLC was free for this game, it adds some underground areas to the game that are fun to explore, trophies are very easy except for the Dweller kills because this enemy is the most difficult enemy in the entire game. The assault rifle that this dlc gives you makes the rest of the game very easy.

 Difficulty: 3/10
Enjoyment: 6/10

Valley of the Yeti's 



This is a very enjoyable dlc in my opinion, it adds a whole new area to the game that you can't access from the main game and vice versa.

It is fun to explore this, especially when the yeti's are introduced, the only disadvantage that i found was that it is very easy to become way too strong, because you get lots of money for the missions and there are many hides to find in regular chests and weapons in the normal world, so some of the strongest weapons can be gotten from the beginning. Completed it twice on PS3 and PS4

Grid 2 DLC:

One of my favorite racing games, and i'm proud to be in such a small group that has the 100% in this game. It isn't difficult but there are still some very tricky moments. Especially the dlc time trials, they require a perfect lap to get right, or a clean lap with the upgraded multiplayer vehicles. But the dlc is fun and i can still recommend people to play this.

Rocket League DLC's 



I know i know, lots of pictures here but i like them because they are all unique. For me the dlc's were all very easy as well because i'm addicted to this game.

I play at least 10 matches per day, usually in 1v1 and doubles. I notice that i get better every day which makes it so much more fun, i'm even able to score aerial goals now on a regular basis. The only thing that i don't like about the DLC's is that they added maps which were not fun to play at all (Neo Tokyo, Starbase Arc). The dlc trophies were more difficult then the base game ones but still doable, although i agree that scoring an aerial goal is very difficult for a beginner in this game. It requires practice to get it right, i scored my first in an online game after 500 matches or so.

Sound Shapes DLC



This is just an example, won't post 11 images here after the last one.

This is a very easy DLC for Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale. Just perform one move on a certain map and you're done.

 

Difficulty: 1/10

Enjoyment: 2/10

 

Saints Row: The Third DLC's

There are 3 DLC's for this game and they are all very easy. They can be done within 2 hours each. One of them contains a couple of minigames. The others are story DLC's, one gives you 3 missions where you play in an alien movie. The other one gives you superpowers which is great fun.

 

Difficulty: 1/10

Enjoyment: 8/10

 

Sniper Elite 3 DLC:

Loads of thought went into these missions, they are very fun to play, both DLC's

 

Hunt for The Grey Wolf:

In this one you have to kill the leader of Germany himself: Adolf Hitler, which is loads of fun to do. The game gives you loads of opportunities to do this, 7 in total which makes it a fun but short and enjoyable DLC

 

Save Churchill

Also a fun DLC, this one is 3 missions long which makes it a lengthy DLC, although the missions are shorter then campaign missions they are fun and unique. 2 are set in brand new locations and are fun to play in my opinion. Also good to get loads of extra XP in these missions to get main game trophies done quicker.

 

Difficulty: 3/10

Enjoyment: 8/10

 

 

EDIT: If you have some feedback i'm happy to hear that, i think this will be the final version, i'll keep updating this list as i continue.

Thanks man for the nice words.

I have updated the whole layout of the list to make it look nicer and more easy readible.

Made it in word and the website makes some extra spaces that i realised after posting. 

I still want to add a section for people who helped me with getting multiplayer trophies so still do that during the course of this week.

[Lars]

Added to the checklist, some plats and 100%'s are planned for the next couple of weeks

 

#95: Riptide GP2

One of the famous games in the trophy hunting genre for being an easy platinum. Luckily for me, it was also an enjoyable game. Gameplay is quite good although the ice cave levels are annoying to get through. At first i didn't know how to do tricks so i was constantly looking for ways on why i was doing the same one all the time, after i found out the game became very easy. Although the freestyle events were tricky ( thanks for laughing) because your jump had to be perfect to line up for the next ramp, because most of them are very difficult when you miss one ramp. But happy to get a plat after almost a month of not getting one, now i'm going to finish off Funk of Titans, hope to have that done tonight already, then i go back to my PS3 and play Sherlock Holmes Crimes and Punishments

#96: Funk of Titans

One platinum closer to that magic number, i'll be honest, this is another easy one but for me also sort of an achievement, just like another game called Teslagrad.

These are both 2d platformers and i'm so bad at those, i'm usually not able to figure out puzzles and i normally die very easy because my timing is always off, this game really trained that because in the beginning i was stuck at level 5 because i kept dying. In the end though most levels were completed within one try, didn't need a guide for anything so it was easy, not that much fun because you only have to press 2 buttons, technically you could play and plat this game with one hand.

Another 100% today to add to the checklist, will also add a section with completed dlc.

100%: Rock 'n Racing Offroad Dx

I have played lots of easy games recently, these often have a reputation of easy, but very bad.

Well, they're nothing compared to this game, this was the first time i actually wanted my money back and that has happened for the first time.

I read reviews before i buy a game and i know that this game already got bad reviews, but so did Orc Slayer, Coffin Dodgers and Magus. They were definetely not good but still they had some enjoyment in them because they were playable.

This game is so bad in all its ways that it sometimes feels unplayable, this is why.

At first there is the camera, it is stationairy at one point so it is difficult to spot bumps in the road, when you drive over such a bump the car jumps and sometimes rolls without any explanation, if you land on a bump the car always behaves strange, sometimes it stops, sometimes it magically receives a huge boost and you crash. It also has a classic one from Road to Hell (haven't played this, but seen the footage) which is that the car if you land a jump always shoots of to one of the sides without explanation. Then your opponents, they're horrible, it feels like the car you drive weighs nothing and theirs have the weight of a truck, they crash in you so often and you are always the victim, when they crash in to you it is basically end of the race, because you crash in the wall and before you are out of that position the race has finished. And this happens way to often.

The tracks are recycled everytime with some bumps in different places, the cars are not that original and the monstertruck is the worst, because you can't determine what the front and what the back of the car is. The only positive part of this game is that it is very short, normally not a good thing but for a game this bad it is better. The trophies themselfs are easy, but because of the issues the last 3 cups have a lot of luck involved in them, because one crash and the race is over, and guess what, when you restart you have to restart the whole championship so when this happens you have to do a whole championship over.

This is my first 1/10, and i hope it is my last as well.

#97: La Cops

This game wasn't enjoyable at all, game at first was a bit fun because it gives you a lot of trophies by completing the first level. After that it becomes a lot less enjoyable because the game feels very cheap, and very unfair as well. Luckily the AI feels unfair but the other way around you can utilise some features as well which makes the game easier in some places. But the AI is just stupid, it feels sometimes that they can shoot through walls, every shot always hits you and takes a huge amount of health, even with a pistol which for you as a player takes so many shots to kill a target. On the higher difficulty it is difficult because all the one hit kills you concede, on lower difficulties it is difficult because a shortage on ammo. And like i said, game isn't hard but really unfair, which makes it more difficult and less enjoyable

Thanks a lot,

My 100th will be Horizon Zero Dawn

#98: Motorstorm Apocalypse

It has been almost a year since i last platted a disc game on the PS3, with Infamous 2 being the last. I'm proud of this one, wasn't the easiest but i don't remember that much of it because i played most of it a long time ago.

When i decided to pick this one back up to finish it last month i had my last trophy before that in december 2015. That was when i finished the multiplayer which was actually quite easy and quick with solo boosting method that you can use. Makes it a 7 hour boost instead of a 25 hour boost.

The single player was very enjoyable, although i normally prefer a bit more realistic form of racing, where you can defend places and so. That's not possible in this game, when you don't crash you normally win an event. The story felt a bit sticked on and not necessary, same as the collectibles. I normally enjoy to collect them but in racing games they shouldn't be there, except in open world. Especially these because they were hardly noticeable, most of them were just off the track and i only got 20 by just playing the game, you have to drive really close to even see them. So i used a video guide to mop them up.

Racing was fun, good variety in vehicles and fun tracks and surroundings.

Platinum #100: Horizon Zero Dawn

I chose this game as my 100th platinum the moment the trophy list came out, i knew the platinum was doable and the game got great reviews so i decided to buy it from day one. I was hyped for this game and with good reason, looking at trailers the expectations were very high, and the game even surpassed my expectations.

The game had a bit of a slow start and the story wasn't clear immediately to me, i often have this with fantasy (for me fantasy is everything that isn't happening in our world with characters and people with unknown names) games that i have to look up a lot about the story because i don't understand it. But when i got the grips of what was happening even that was a strong aspect of the game. The gameplay is absolutely amazing, and so much fun. When i looked at a checklist i asked myself if there was enough content. With RPG's you often see something like 60 side quests, 200 collectibles. Games like Far Cry had more then 30 of those bandit camps, this game has 6. But the content is spot on, absolutely perfect content. Like i said, gameplay was amazing, fighting machines was fun. Every machine because the higher level you got the stronger and bigger they got, and i didn't encounter many smaller ones. Fighting human enemies was a bit less enjoyable because with the explosive bombs it was very easy, so going stealth made it more fun because it was more difficult.

My platinum account has 60 hours into it, and i still have to do some side quests. And fighting a Thunderjaw or a Stormbird never gets old. This game is a must have for every Playstation owner, GOTY potential, although going off reviews many great games have already come out this year like Nier and Persona 5.

Made another update today, 100%'s are updated, tomorrow i'll update the platinums

[Lars]

Did another big update, only need to update the 100%'s now. I possibly take out the backlog bits, it's not that interesting in my opinion and not up to date at all

 

EDIT: I also can't open the spoiler tags anymore, anyone else have this problem?

Edited December 18, 2017 by Lars

[Lars]

I have my list fully updated now, all the platinums, 100%'s and 100% DLC is on the list now

[Lars]

I have updated my list completely again, so i hope everyone enjoys the read.

I kept my reviews for easy games as short as possible so just 1 sentence because i don't think anyone really cares about those
