Platinum Trophy #114 - Robocop: Rogue City (PS5)

Platinum Difficulty Rating: 3/10
Game Rating: 7/10

I’ve had my eye on this one for a while now, since it looked like we were finally getting a genuine Robocop game. And to my surprise, yeah, this game kicks ass. It’s not perfect by any means, but I’m really impressed with the level of authenticity and faithfulness to the original films. Including getting Peter Weller himself for the voice of Alex Murphy.

The Platinum itself was fairly straight forward. Just had to collect some gun parts to upgrade the iconic pistol, complete all the side quests, beat the hardest difficulty, and clean up with a few combat trophies. Overall a really well done game that actually pays tribute and respect to some great movies. Hope to see a sequel in the future, or maybe more games with other 80’s franchises.

Platinum #113 - Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened

Platinum Difficulty Rating: 2/10
Game Rating: 5/10

Picked this one up as a Lovecraftian bundle along with The Sinking City (which I have not played yet). Overall a not a horrible game, but it just didn’t have very much going for it in terms of gameplay.

The Platinum based on the percentage of players who have earned it is very easy. Just a few collectibles to pick up, some side investigations to complete, as well as optional dialogue and choices. Happy I went out of my comfort zone and gave it a chance, I just don’t think it’s for me personally.

Platinum #112 - Resident Evil 3 (PS5)

Platinum Difficulty Rating: 0/10
Game Rating: 6/10

I already completed this one on the PS4 version, and was hoping to replay it since I was in the mood for an RE game. However I loaded the game up after downloading, and before I could even start the game the Platinum auto popped. I did still give the game another play-through, but I was really hoping to be able to trophy hunt again. Especially since this one is easier the RE 2 Remake’s platinum in my opinion.

I know a lot of die hard fans don’t like this game, however I have zero connection or experience with the original. So I think I enjoy this one a little more than most. It’s definitely way too short and Nemesis is not in the game nearly as much as he should be. I also would’ve like to have played through the cut levels from the original. However I really like the gun play and dodge system, and still enjoy the RE 2 style inventory and mechanics.

Platinum #111 - High on Life (PS5)

Platinum Difficulty Rating: 5/10
Game Rating: 9/10 (Please buy this game)

This is quite frankly the biggest surprise I’ve ever had while playing a game blind. This game is nothing short of amazing, and a testament to what happens when a company truly gives a shit about what they’re making.

This games combat is your standard first-person shooter, but the guns all have unique and awesome abilities that have insane combinations. The maneuverability options were cool too, you can definitely feel the Halo and Doom inspiration. The voice acting is also top notch with great performances, charisma, and tons of ad-libbing from the cast that feels both natural and funny.

The Platinum itself was fairly easy as well, provided you make it a point to grab the few missable trophies on your first play-through. Most of my gripes with the game is little nit-picky stuff. The environments are beautiful and dense, but the lack of a map makes it very annoying to collectible hunt in. Not being able to customize your space suit was also a little disappointing, and considering how hilarious the NPC’s are no side quests felt like a missed opportunity. The DLC was also fun, even though it was way shorter than I would’ve liked.

This is definitely a top 5 game of all time for me now, and I highly encourage anyone who hasn’t played this game yet to give it a shot. I pray we get a sequel one day, and they continue to improve this potentially amazing franchise. I’ve never laughed so hard at a game before, and I’ve Platinumed the South Park games.

Platinum #110 - Call of Cthulhu (PS4)

Platinum Difficulty Rating: 4/10
Game Rating: 6/10

Let me get this out of the way now, I have not read any of Lovecraft’s books. Most of my knowledge comes from YouTube lore explanations, but Cthulhu is one of my favorite mythical creatures. I didn’t know much about this game going on, but was left feeling more disappointed than anything else.

The game is very basic and lacks any real combat system, since it’s mainly focused on the story and investigation aspects. Which could be cool, but they’re way too guided and simple to feel like you’re really solving anything. It’s also cool that Cthulhu is speaking to you and you have visions of him as you descend into madness. However it’s incredibly disappointing that he only appears for 3 SECONDS at the very end of the game.

I don’t know how closely this game follows the book of the same name, but it just never really focused on the aspects of the story that I actually found interesting. The Platinum itself was also a bit frustrating because of how many missable trophies there are in a given play-through. Not a great game, but not a bad one, just average at best.

Platinum #109 - Assassin’s Creed III Remastered (PS4)

Platinum Difficulty Rating: 8/10
Game Rating: 8/10

Like many of my platinums, I completed most of these trophies during my initial play-through years ago. However due to some bs AI on the expert board games, and bugs/glitches with the Encyclopedia trophy, I took a break for a few years.

However I came back in a big way while completing the remaining AC games on my list. This is definitely one of my favorites in the series. Aside from the incredibly boring and slow first sequence, Connor was cool as hell and I love the Tomahawk as a primary weapon and overall setting of the game.

The DLC was definitely one of the most tedious and buggy parts, considering I had to 100% each Chapter in one session or my progress wouldn’t save. The animal powers and abilities were definitely unique and interesting, even if they made combat and traversal trivial. All in all a great game that I don’t advise trying to complete unless you’re ready to deal with some annoying and frustrating bugs.

Seriously though, screw whatever Dev was in charge of the difficulty for the board games. I’ve never seen such blatant cheating in my whole life…

Platinum #108: Assassins Creed: Liberation (PS4)

Platinum Difficulty Rating: 5/10
Game Rating: 5/10

This is the only mainline AC game I have not played, and honestly, I’m disappointed. I’ve never seen anything on this game, so I went in completely blind. I was exicted considering it’s a DLC for AC 3, but god damn this game was frustrating.

Many of the collectibles were glitched as hell, and I’m lucky enough I didn’t get any game breaking bugs like other people did. I also experienced a couple crashes at very inconvenient times, so that’s always fun. Traversing the map was also one of the worst I’ve ever dealt with, particularly the Swamp which takes forever to get around. The different personas with unique abilities was a cool idea, but I never felt like they utilized it to its full potential.

This one just didn’t really do anything special for me. I found it to be more frustrating and generic with its design and stability than anything else. It wasn’t as hard to complete as other games at least, but definitely wasn’t as enjoyable of an experience.

Platinum #107: Assassins Creed: Brotherhood (PS4)

Platinum Difficulty Rating: 7/10
Game Rating: 9/10

Despite being the second game in the trilogy, this is the last Ezio game I completed. I did most of the trophies when I initially played through it, so this was mostly just clean up. I’d put this as the second hardest AC game to 100% sync. Particularly the vehicle based missions, which are absolutely rage inducing. Although how I managed to do the notorious Tank mission first try is beyond me.

This remains to be one of the greatest video game trilogies of all time, and gave us one of the most badass protagonists ever. I pray one day we get a modern remake of these games with updated visuals and mechanics. I hate Ubisoft but I’d buy that game immediately, no questions asked.

Platinum #106 - Assassin’s Creed: Revelations (PS4)

Platinum Difficulty Rating: 6/10
Game Rating: 7/10

This is the Ezio game I remembered and played the least of when I was younger. So it was cool to sort of experience it for the first time again. Especially considering the current state of the franchise.

I loved the story of an older, more wise Ezio, and seeing the return of the og Altair was badass as well. The Hook Blade while cool, isn’t as innovative as the Phantom Blade or Grappling Hook from Syndicate. The platinum itself was also very smooth besides a few 100% sequences being pretty difficult, and some very annoying traversal between different sections of the map. The worst part was definitely The Lost Archive DLC, which was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had in my life.

It is kinda funny though how my Platinum was obtained by waiting 8 hours in real time in front of a bank so I could buy 3 books lol

Platinum #105 - Marvel’s Midnight Suns (PS5)

Platinum Difficulty Rating: 5/10
Game Rating: 7/10

I know a lot of people have shit on this game, but I actually really liked it. I like turn based, strategy games but I don’t get to play them often. So it was cool to play one with Marvel characters. The combat itself was fun but I absolutely despise card based games, so that’s a major downside. The relationship mechanic with different heroes was cool, but definitely could’ve been expanded upon in more meaningful ways. And the fact that you play a boring asf, generic “chosen one” protagonist, is lame as hell considering the amazing cast of characters right in front of you. It also took forever to do the too Light/Dark side paths because of the dialogue points needed for both.

The DLC was cool with Deadpool, Venom, and Storm, though I could not take Morbius seriously in his DLC after Leto’s movie.

I’ll be honest and say literally 90% of why I bought this game was because Blade was in it, and god damn does he look sexy as hell. His design is better in this game than in Mavel Rivals. Also, how tf is Venom better written in this game than in Spider-Man 2?
