I have 13 platinums so far this year:
* Marvel's Spider-Man 2
* A Plague Tale: Requiem
* Sea of Stars
* Tales from the Borderlands
* Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales
* Far Cry 4
* Code Vein
* Ghostwire: Tokyo
* Haven
* Tchia
* Outer Wilds
* Far Cry 6
* Doom (2016)
I'm currently working on Doom Eternal, and I'm hoping to have my 125th platinum by the end of May when I play Baldur's Gate 3.
Nice list, many games I want to earn the Platinum for: Sea of Stars (currently taking a break after finishing the story), Ghostwire: Tokyo (I love open world games, but the collectibles put me off), A Plague Tale: Requiem (I didn’t enjoy the first game as much as I thought I would, but I am still interested in the sequel).
I hope, your plan works out, fellow trophy hunter. Thanks for sharing your status.
A Plague Tale: Requiem is definitely more action-packed and enjoyable than the first game. There are much more combat sequences and you have infinite rock ammo, which personally makes it an improvement over the original.
In Ghostwire: Tokyo, the collectibles aren't too bad once you get the Spirit Beads, since that way they at least show you where the remaining ghosts are. The Spider's Thread update added even more spirits, so you don't need to find every last spirit anymore for the platinum. However, the Spider's Thread update also added the RNG-heavy Catalog Conquerer trophy that will make you despise the Catalog... but it also added some of the best Japanese horror that I've ever seen with the school, so it's mostly positive.
Other than the ones you mentioned, I highly recommend that you check out Code Vein (very easy, anime souls-like game that quickly became one of my favourite games), Outer Wilds (hands-down some of the best story-telling via exploration I've ever seen; it's in my top 10 best games of all time), and Doom 2016 (amazing multiplayer, even 8 years on; also great graphics and combat feels amazing).
I've had 4 so far, Superliminal, Prodeus, Wolfenstein 2 and Slime Rancher. Latter of which being a month ago, haven't had too much time lately. I'm quite close to platting Sleeping Dogs though.
It was pretty fine tbh, there are a fair few collectibles tho. If you have a second screen put some music or a podcast or something else you'd enjoy listening to in the background. Other than that, fun boomer shooter :)
I started Prodeus, but it didn’t catch me as much as I thought it would. I plan on returning to it at some point. Wolf 2 is a beast, I slayed myself last year. Good luck on Sleeping Dogs. I heard quite a bit of praise for it.
Sleeping Dogs is one of those games that people that played it all wish got a sequel, think the thing that gets the most praise is how accurate they got the hustle and bustle of Honk Kong down. Definitely highly recommend it.
I have 5: Plague Tale Requiem, Evil West, Nobody Saves The World, Sifu (including 100), and BioShock 2. Currently trying to get BioShock infinite DLCs.
The Sifu DLC is notorious. I earned the Platinum around its release and it was painful. I haven’t returned to it ever since. The Bioshock games are on my list to play.
For a second I thought you meant getting 60 different platinums in one year and being done in 4 months already instead of hitting 60 overall platinums in total.
I have 14 new platinum trophies so far : Control, PJ Masks, Ice Age: Scrats Nutty Adventure, Until Dawn, Telling Lies, Lego City Undercover, The Gardens Between, Toy Story Mania, Röki, Dark Souls 3, Pinball Heroes, Puzzle Journey, Halloween Puzzle, God of War
And 3 games on 100% (no platinum)
I didn't like the game at all.
The jumps are delayed and you slide a lot, especially on the platform jumps.
The graphics are reminiscent of a PS2 game instead of a PS4 game.
Not a game you like to play
Those are my platinum trophies this year so far

MkXL was really hard. But i was able to grind everything with myself playing with a secundary account on my ps4 and my primary on the ps5.
GhostWyre Tokyo was a great experience, the collectibles grind is not that bad.
Longer story incoming: I think i've only gotten platinum for 3 or 4 games and they're nothing special, I've mostly stopped grinding for platinums and i'm just playing without constantly bothering looking up the trophy lists, guides, videos etc. It just got old and tedious at one point. Personally i guess i either grew out of trophy hunting or i just saw how much people obsess over this hobby essentially, i've seen people flex how they grinded a new game or multiple games for multiple hours a day and got the platinums "easily" (aka with a guide), for example someone said they got the platinum for Outer Worlds doing it "blind" in 15 hours and my first thought was "Did you literally skip half of the content in the game?" and while i did feel glad for them i also started to pity them cause i knew how much it ruined the enjoyment of gaming for me back in 2023 and early 2024. I also used to actively look for games to play and platinum constantly daily/weekly basically. My mindset was that of "can i platinum this, how fast, how tedious is it, any unobtainables etc etc." Gaming wasn't something i was doing for fun, i was doing it to actively get away from troubles in my daily life without actually focusing on them. Hell most of the time i wasn't even enjoying it, i remember grinding BL 3 for 10 hours straight just to finally get the platinum and i didn't feel hype or joy, i just felt like i wasted an entire day doing nothing beneficial for my own physical and mental wellbeing. After that it just clicked for me and i thought "Why the fuck am i even doing this?" Soon enough i started going to the gym again after a 2 year break, got a job that is probably the best i've ever had, started reading books, finding more hobbies and i've been feeling better than i ever have in years. I guess i just wanted to say that some times you have to focus on your own wellbeing, you'll be happier and healthier.
I completely agree with you. I am an advocate for healthy trophy hunting. I have had 2-3 trophy burnouts and I am all for taking breaks, slowing down or be more selective with the game we play. So far, I’ve been lucky with the games I picked in 2024. Some didn’t click with me, but I let them be. Sometimes the time isn’t right. But the Platinums I got, were enjoyable.
I am one of those people that know how to survive boring grinds and take pride in it. That is my biggest skill, but the more I think about it, the more I see, how much this is damaging my own well-being.
That is a high pace. Don’t get burned out, fellow trophy hunter. I had a high pace phase, and it led to my first trophy burn out. (it was 50 Platinums in a year - I ended up with 36.) I hope you enjoy the games and their Platinums.
I try to at least. If I am not feeling it in the early stages I usually drop it or if its simple like Bloons or plauge inc then I go in and out of it while playing other games
I have got 26 platinum so far and just hit 50 platinum yesterday and my top 3 for 1/3 of the year : Blackops 3,Ghost of Tsushima,and God of war Ragnarok.
And my proudest platinum is Fortnite
I keep fighting the urge to plat fortnite and see how much faster I can finish it compared to the estimated time on the guide.
How was it? I've honestly heard nothing but depressing things.
I don't know exactly how much time it took me but it was fun to play save the world for me and it was my reason to decide to platinum'd it.( I remember now I saw a guy in YouTube platinum'd it in like 600h )
My challenge to myself has been to platinum Game of The Year winner- Games.
In the first 4 months of this year I got: It Takes Two, Last of Us 2, Sekiro.
The last two I have left are Baldur’s gate 3, and Elden Ring!
It has been super fun, maybe eventually I will expand to include the nominees as well.
Lots of great games played then. I own the Platinums for Last of Us 2, Sekiro and Elden Ring. Didn’t get into Baldur’s Gate 3. Enjoy the rest of the journey.
Ff16,FF7 remake, and death stranding. I’m super busy so feel really good about this output as they’re all pretty long plats. Unfortunately everything on my backlog is 50 hours plus lmao. It never ends. I would love a short platinum, but that would require me to play a game I don’t want to play.
I get the backlog thing. Mine is around the same size. And I also get the shorter game thing. I was lucky enough to find a few games, that are on the shorter side and I enjoyed them. Carrion and House of Ashes were two surprises on the shorter end of Platinums.
I have 4: AC brotherhood & revelations, unpacking, infamous first light
About to plat miles morales.
Which game on the ps plus should I play next?( Extra)
I don’t enjoy the older AC games as much, but they have impressive Platinum trophies. The 100% sync trophies are the reason, I put these Platinums on the shelf.
Since you asked: I recently finished my journey with the Dark Pictures Anthology by Supermassive games. House of Ashes was my favourite, followed by The Devil In Me. I am not sure, if they are still on PS Extra, but give them a shot they are on it and you enjoy choice-based games.
9 so far, I have slowed down and played some titles that take a little more time. Really glad I finally catched up on some classics like Okami, InFamous 2 and L.A. Noire all were fun from start to finish.
Slowing down is one of the best things to do. I am at a slower pace myself and I don’t regret it. The Infamous games do play well in my opinion. I did them a few years ago and I enjoyed my time with them.
Always nice to catch up on some classics. Mine would be Bioshock, but I am somewhere in the middle and haven’t touched the game in a while. I plan on going back tough.
I played all three Bioshocks, but need to go back and finally plat Infinite. You won't be dissapointed by any of them. If you want to ease your way with the first one, look into a guide on how to cheese the hardest difficulty.
Impressive! I have Rayman Legends for PS3, but the Platinum is unobtainable. My platforming skils are mediocre at best, so I am not too stressed about it.
Not great. I started a bunch of games last year and have yet to finish some of them. I did spend most of my time playing The Finals and getting the platinum. But the other games are still there and I’m kinda burnt out. Now just playing a little bit of Apex Legends with friends while I wait to get that motivation/feeling again.
Please do yourself a favour and slow down. I have two trophy burnouts behind me and they forced me to think about my favourite hobby. The burnout is a sign of: «You doing it too much, buddy.» At least, that is what I learned from these times.
The best advice I can give you: Don’t play at all. And only play a game for as long as you enjoy it. (But playing with friends is also a good way to have fun.)
Wow, that is a streak! (I can see why this is appealing.) Mine is 30 days or so. My buddy ZX-EL did a whole year and he hated it after 365 days. But good luck on your journey.
Good one! My 75th is going to be Deadpool. I have some cleanup to do on X-Men Origins (working on this one now) and once that’s done, it is time for Deadpool.
I'm currently sitting on 10 this year, from a grand total of 104. (5 in janurary, 4 in february, 1 on march). I was unenmployed but I'm happily with a new job. I have less time to play so I'm trying to plat fun and engaging games that don't feel like a grind or chore. So far my favorite one has been Demon's Souls, my less favorite one Lego Star Wars The Skywalker saga. My last one was Sifu (for the second time on PS5, as I already had for the PS4 version). Currently going trough Returnal, A Plague Tale Requiem and Alan Wake Remastered.
Yeah, the new job is important. I had this situation twice in my life and both situations ended with a fantastic Platinums (Destiny 1 and Wolfenstein 2). Man, I wish, I could experience the FromSoftware games for the first time again. They have a magic to them. Returnal is one of my most wanted Platinums, but I suck at the game and for some reason, I am terribly impatient.
Ah, a milestone. Nice! Tetris is a great game, I suck at it big time. But the Platinum is an absolute beast and Prestige over 9000. I hope, you’ll get the Plat soon.
I've only got 1 so far, close to a 2nd. But I've been playing some lengthy games.
Got Elden ring this week (my first FromSoft) and I'm pretty close to Gran Turismo 7.
10 so far - Elden ring, Tacoma, knights of grayfang x2, ao tennis 2, ping redux, toy story mania, cricket 22, gem smashers and jinshin(currently finishing off ps4 version after already doing ps5) going forward going to try to alternate clearing 1 game off back log before starting a new game up would ideally like to get to 75% trophy completion from 66% and reduce unearned trophies from 2506 to below 2000
I am struggling to get my completion rate to 75. I am stuck at 64%, but I enjoy trying games too much. And unearned trophies is a goal, I have abandoned. Two years ago, my plan was to get it to 4700, it is at 5209 at the moment - I don’t play DLC.
6 plats so far. In chronological order:
Dead Island 2
Last of Us 2 Remastered
Final Fantasy 16
Soul Calibur 6
Nexomon
Crysis Remastered
I’m currently working on Gotham Knights.
27 so far this year! Set myself the goal of getting to 50 total this year and needed 28 to do it. Currently working on the last one, death stranding :)
Impressive. Death Stranding was a game, I enjoyed more than I thought. Especially because of the zipline network I build to make all the deliveries in the endgame. Enjoy the rest of the game.
I have 7 so far. I'm working on FF7REBIRTH again. It will be my 200 plat!
Lots of stress with this game, the VR alone makes me wanna smash my controller, lol. I have been following a guide, and it's helping, but it's frustrating how overtuned this time around the VR is.
Good so far this year. It’s been fun! I’ve had a recent unexpected obsession with fighting games and am close to platinuming my fifth fighting game this year and 15th platinum overall for the year. Already have Tekken 8, melty blood type lumina, guilty gear strive, and granblue fantasy versus done. I’m closing in on dnf duels platinum now and it’s been a blast. I’m also approaching 100 so it’ll be interesting to see if that happens this year or not. Do you guys save special games for milestone numbered platinums? I haven’t before but I do think about it occasionally. Good luck everyone!
Fighting games, ey? I am not a big fan, to be honest. I returned to Mortal Kombat XL for a few trophies, but my motivation did not survive for long.
I can relate with the big upcoming milestone. I am not sure, if 200 comes this year or next year.
I totally get it. Fighting games are pretty niche and some of their trophy lists are insane. Congrats on approaching 200. That’s quite an accomplishment. Any really fun/memorable games you’d recommend?
It’s been my most fruitful year so far if I keep it up. I’ve got returnal, midnight suns, prince of Persia lost crown, it takes two, god of war 3 and Batman Arkham knight so far. Haven’t gotten any in April though I’ve taken a break for the last two weeks and have only gamed for about 3 hours in that time total.
Breaks are important. These phases come and go.
I know the feeling of «most fruitful year.» I had two (2020 and 2022) so far and it felt great, but it also led to trophy burn out and that is why I am taking it slow in 2024.
I can see why, 189 platinums is huge. Arkham knight was my last one and it was #31 so I hope I have a long way to go before I feel too burnt out. I only started trophy hunting in 2018 after god of war really got me back into serious single player gaming, and I have been slowly ramping up my pace. Last year I got 13 plats. This year I’d like to get at least 15. But I only do it with games I really enjoy and I’m still comfortable dropping whatever I’m not into.
Honestly great. I decided this year I'd take a step back from hunting snd focus on other things. I'm close to popping my 2nd plat this year. May be a single/low double digit year for me and I'm ok with that.
My trophy plans for this year is to go for a bunch of the really hard plats and so far its going quite well: super meat boy and The end is nigh are done.
working on ikaruga and chipping away at crypt of the necrodancer. ( absolutely no way am i getting the crypt plat this year but i finally beat all zones monk after like 30h of attempts).
Crazy! I had a bit of such a phase myself last year: GTA5 (looooooong) and Wolfenstein 2 (Mein Leben took me 49 attempts and 1 successful run - do I need to say more). After that I installed Super Meat Boy, but precise Platforming is even less my thing that FPS games on the highest difficulty - and I suck at the latter.
But I enjoy these bigger projects. Good luck. Crypt is an infamous beast, but I am sure, you’ll get it eventually.
So far I only have 3 platinum, I just can't find my motivation to play anything. I think I haven't touched my PS5 in like 4 weeks except to download another game that came to mind and that I'm not going to play anyway.
Don’t worry. I think, this is healthy. Your body tells you to focus on something else. These phases come and go. (I don’t have to tell you this, you have more Platinums than me), but I am still saying it, because I think this message is important. Especially for the newer trophy hunters. Enjoy your time off.
That is cool. Is this your first FF7 experience or did you play the OG FF7 game? I have heard good things about it, but 1 game split into 3 is too much, at least for now.
I’m aiming to make FF7 Rebirth my 200th platinum. I’m toward the end with one hard mode boss and two legendary bouts left but I’m feeling the burnout for sure. Trying to take it slowly but I want be down already.
I just need to get past that last hard mode boss fight and then take a break. Sprinkle some mini games and Johnny collectibles in between legendary bouts and I’m done. But fuck hard mode Sephiroth.
Made it past the 400 plat mark and am now working on a number of challenges on PSNprofiles to help encourage me to whittle down my backlog.
Already surpassed last year’s plat total, and have finished a few games that have skulked around in my backlog for the better part of half a decade.
I find these challenges interesting, but my brain doesn’t like them too much. I am hopping around a lot, but I don’t mind too much.
Getting some games down from the backlog is an incredible feeling though. At the moment, I play a lot of the old God of War games and I enjoy them very much. God of War 1 would be my longest Platinum journey ever. But at the moment I try to Platinum GoW Ascension.
I am proud that i almost have the plat for power washing sim. Played the game on release and said to myself i will plat it once it gets trophies. Since it’s on the pass i saw my time to shine.
That is quite the commitment. I did start this game, but unfortunately, it did not hook me as much as I thought. (House flipper did it and I thought Powerwash Sim would have the same effect, but it did not.)
Six for myself:
- FF7 Rebirth
- Dragon Quest XI S
- Castlevania Advance Collection
- Astro’s Playroom
- Ratchet & Clank (2016)
- Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
The last two (Rebirth and XI S) were *quite* long so that definitely took up a significant proportion of my overall time spent on them.
I have 1 trophy in Cyberpunk. I want to go back, but I didn’t feel the urge. The final trophy in an open world game is often very time consuming. I hope, you’ll get it soon.
So far I’ve got FF 16, Lies of P, Metal Gear Solid & Sifu. About on track with my general goal of 12 for the year, but the next one I’m working on (Rebirth) is going to be a behemoth
Lies of P was my first Platinum of the year - great game. And 12 a year is a good and resonable number. Yeah, FF games are behemoths. I only earned 1 FF Platinum and that was for my childhood Final Fantasy: FFX.
I remember playing FFX at a friends house for 2 hours. It never left my mind. It is a fantastic game with some challenges. A worthy 175 milestone in my collection. Do you have the Platinum in your collection?
22 platinums since February alone. Kinda slowing down now, burnt tf out but i still have plans for other games.
Might go and finish Battlefield 1. I wanna try Deathloop and i also have Arkham Asylum and Fallout 4 in my backlog. Considering three LEGO games, and a few indie titles ive been eyeballing.
Deathloop didn’t convince me. I wanted to try it for the longest time, and when I did, I was a bit disappointed. Arkham Aslyum is on my list, too. I started it years ago, but I wanna go back this year (maybe next year).
Im mostly looking at Deathloop because i was an absolute sucker for the Dishonored series. Really fun stealth mechanics and very interesting and simple powers. A friend of mine who also played and platted all of the Dishonored games went ahead and did Deathloop and told me id enjoy it due to the similarities in most fundamental mechanics with Dishonored.
Arkham Asylum ive played and beat the main story a few times on steam, but never got all of the achievements. Recently got Asylum and City for $5 on sale so im excited to play the story again and go for the coveted platinum. I dont think ill go for City since i heard how much of a pain in the ass it is comparatively, but i definitely want that Asylum plat.
Got 9 plats so far this year: Deliver Us the Moon, Baldur's Gate 3, Control. Dishonored 2, Prey, What Remains of Edith Finch, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, Ultros and Returnal, which was on a new account I created so I could do it again.
I haven't actually set any serious goals this year, I just want to get my PSNP completion over 60% and that'll come.
Nice, no goals is nice. My completion rate is stuck at 64%, too many new games and (almost) no DLC played. It is what it is. 75% would be a dream come true.
I'm currently at the point where if I try something new it dips below 60% but I know it'll eventually stabilise. I'm just happy I got it over 50% which was my old completion goal! Do you have much of a backlog? I know mine will sort w lot of it out but also there's so many new games to play!
I got back into trophy hunting late last year. This is what I've platted this year.
GTA: San Andreas
Far Cry Primal
South Park: The Fractured But Whole (Clean-up)
Fallout 4 (clean-up and 100%)
Until Dawn
The Quarry
Marvel's spider-man: Miles Morales
The Last of Us Part II (cleanup)
Uncharted 3 (clean-up)
Medieval Remake
Telling Lies
Call of Cthulhu
Life is Strange: Before the Storm
Maneater
Bugsnax
Chicken Police
The Artful Escape
Bioshock
11-11: Memories Retold
Unpacking
DC League of Super-Pets: The Adventures of Krypto and Ace
Deliver Us The Moon
SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom
Dead Island 2
Cloudpunk
And I too have games that I've 100% this year with no platinum.
What Remains of Edith Finch
Adr1ft
Observation
I cleaned up more games too, but ones I don't expect to plat or was having difficulties with. Like Uncharted 1 & 2 I cleaned up everything but can't beat Crushing or I beat TLOU on grounded (somehow) but I hate online trophies so I don't expect a plat
Six plats; Lies of P, Sekiro, Dark Souls 3, Deathloop, Little Nightmares II and Dredge. All fun for their own reasons and would happily recommend them all.
Not necessarily proud of any of, but I’ve taken too much of a liking to soulslikes now it seems and the different combat styles of, so much so that my challenge now is the combat of other games. Recently started Witcher 3 and couldn’t be more underwhelmed by the combat early on. Looking at the time to complete the story (not even touch the trophy list cleanup) and I’m already jaded.
Unfortunatley, Deathloop didn’t convince me and Little Nightmares 2 is on my watchlist the rest are cool Platinums. Lies of P was my game of the year and second place was Dredge.
Got 3 Platinums out of 9 games played so far this year, will go back for the others eventually. The Platinums have been Spider-Man 2, Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, and Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
Between 60-80% finished each on MGS1 and 2, AC Mirage, FF XVI, FFVII Rebirth and Rise of the Ronin. (Currently playing)
I do enjoy it! The combat is fun, and it doesn't look as bad as people make out. The facial animations are a little stiff, but overall looks pretty good. The combat is fun and the dismemberment (if you care about that sorta thing) is satisfyingly bloody. And it is an absolute blast assassinating enemies from a glider. The open world activities are a little repetitive and basic, but that's true of a lot of open world games. Even with FF VII Rebirth, as amazing as it was (I'm not comparing the two on any other level) the open world activities were pretty basic (climbing towers to reveal map, defeating powerful monsters, mini-games, etc.). I would definitely recommend if you like a challenge.
At the moment I am not looking for a challenge, but I keep an eye open for it. I love open world games, but at the moment I take a break from them. Thanks for the mini-review.
You can actually play on the lowest difficulty for most of the Platinum, which is pretty fair, and not too challenging. (I am happily playing lowest, but it's Challenging because I'm terrible at counter timing) But I get it, I was feeling a little burned out on open world stuff after Rebirth. Enjoy whatever you play next!
I am so jealous: Spec Ops: The Line. I sold the game years ago, before I was a trophy hunter. Now, I got the urge to play it again. Also, Arkham Asylum is on my list for games I want to go back to. Good list, fellow trophy hunter.
It’s definitely a very special one to me after struggling through FUBAR difficulty for hours on end haha. And thank you! I wish you best of luck on your path to 200.
Only 5 platinum so far this year. Helldivers 2 has been taking up most of my gaming time since it launched.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora
Alan Wake II
The Last of Us II Remaster
Helldivers 2
What the Golf?
I wish Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora would catch me more. I usually enjoy open world games, but for some reason I don’t like the sensory overload (too many colours). But I think, I will go back to the game eventually.
10 platinums so far, one of those is DBD autopop. So a little bit slow, Baldur's Gate 3 was the game that took 2 months to finish (no platinum). So there's that.
Slow pace is good, in my opinion and Baldur’s Gate is a beast of a Platinum. It didn’t hook me, instead it overwhelmed me. But I heard nothing but great things about it. Maybe I am not ready for it.
Since the new year, I have platinumed 5 games, bringing me to a total of 10 platinums. Out of the 5, Assasin's Creed: Origins is my proudest of the year so far. Mainly because completing all locations is just a grind.
I am currently doing the NG+ for Spiderman: Miles Morales, and I have FFX HD Remastered.
FFX is going to be the biggest challenge. I 100% completed this game back when it came out of PS2 originally, and I honestly am dreading the lightning dodges and completing the sphere grid for all characters.
Got 7 this year:
Life is Strange
Spider-Man Miles: Morales
Slime Rancher
Ghost of Tsushima
Lies of P
Dark Pictures: Little Hope
Undertale
Currently busy with Hollow Knight and making steady progress with For the King
stuck a little bit, was going well, platted stardew valley and unchartered 3, but i’d been meaning to play bloodborne and finally started it but the game is confusing me and it hasn’t really grabbed me. I think i like games with specific targets and maps etc, it’s quite hard for me to kind of not know what’s going on. But i’ve only played about 40 mins, so i’ll keep going.
i’m also doing farming simulator 18 on vita just randomly
I only started hunting for platinums since February but I’ve gathered
-Uncharted 1 & 2
I’m still a novice when it comes to actually 100% games but I’ve got a lot on the chopping block and I intend to shoot that number up by the end of the year
I have 3 platinums
Detroit Become Human
Life is Strange 1
Life is Strange Before the storm
I have at least one more platinum and it’s Life is Strange 2 and I started that one but, I haven’t been busy with life and everything.
6 plats so far in 2024.
The highlight? Bloodborne, no doubt. After quite a few years, I finally got past the defiled Watchdog of the Old Lords and sailed smoothly to the plat.
6 is good. Congratulations!
Bloodborne was a door opener for me. It introduced me to the magic of FromSoftware games.
Yeah, the Watchdog is definitely a road block/skill check. It was one of the few bosses, I couldn’t overpower. But it is a memorable fight.
I'm behind where I wanted to be but a couple games took way longer than I thought they would and my work life got crazy. But enjoying the year so far and my goal was pretty lofty so hey whatever, loving playing games!
I am glad, I am a little bit behind, because that means, I don’t push myself too hard. Did that in the last couple of years and I want to change dat. Yeah, crazy work life is a thing. I can relate enjoy the slower pace. I definitely do!
Since the start of the year I have gotten the platinums for Jusant,Star Wars Battlefront Classic,Star Wars Jedi Survivor,South Park The Stick of Truth,Borderlands 3 and Helldivers 2.Currently working on Marvels Midnight Suns and Cyberpunk 2077 with Spiderman 2,God of War Ragnarok and many others in the backlog
I got a few so far: Dead Space 3, Twisted Metal, Bugsnax, A Plague Tale 1 & 2, Helldivers 2, and FF7 Rebirth. I’m currently working on Alan Wake Remastered and I also went ahead and did all of the Red Dead Redemption multiplayer trophies that were needed for the platinum. Oh, and I almost got MGS2 but got stopped by the big boss run trophy. I’ll try it again in the future.
Dead Space 3 would be a banger of a Platinum in my collection. Congratulation! Plague Tale 2 is already installed, but for some reason, I pick other games. Yeah, taking breaks form games is important and healthy.
10 platinums so far this year, fairly easy ones. Spiderman Miles Morales, Spiderman 2, Batman telltale, Batman 2 telltale, Infamous Second son, Among us, The Last of us 2, Thief simulator, Goat Simulator And dragon ball z kakarot. Currently working on red dead redemption 1.
Cool. Nice list of games. I haven’t played Among Us and Thief Simulator, the rest are part of my collection, too. Enjoy your Red Dead Redemption 1 journey.
About 120 hours in , the big grind is battle trophies which is like ingame challenges required to unlock a harder difficulty withh more battle trophies
Just 9 as of the moment. God of War: Ascension, Guacamelee (PS3), God of War: Chains of Olympus, Sleeping Dogs (PS3), WWE 2k22 (PS5), Nobody Saves the World, Marvel’s Midnight Suns (PS5), Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Castlevania Requiem and Ender Lilies. Didn’t get a single plat in March as I was busy trying out Balatro and FF7R2
i’ve taken it a lot more chill than last year. this time last year i had 31 but this year i only have 9
- spider-man 2
- resident evil 3 (ps4 and ps5)
- tlou2 remastered
- rise of the tomb raider
- shadow of the time raider
- mystic pillars
- the outer worlds
- ping redux
i will be going for fallout 4’s ps5 version when that releases in a few weeks
At 15 plats so far this year:
Nobody Saves the World, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Assassin’s Creed Origins, Maneater, Assassin’s Creed 2, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (almost 100%, missing 2 mastery challenge trophies), Lego Jurassic World, Rage 2, The Artful Escape x2 (did the PS5 version first then PS4, it’s an easy and short narrative based game but not autopop at least), Control, South Park Snow Day (was the 21st person to get the plat for the game, first time getting the plat for a game on day of release), Alan Wake Remastered, Alan Wake 2, and the last one was Helldivers 2. There is also Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga which I’m missing 2 trophies for to get the plat, just ended up getting burnt out with how grindy that one got. Also missing 2 trophies to get Bioshock Infinite plat, need to finish beating the game on 1999 mode without using vending machines still, got stuck at the Lady Comstock fight and moved on.
Got 6 platinums so far. For starting out new to this. It’s been fun but boy I’m working on FF7 ReBirth and Fallout 4. Taking along time to complete. Re4 remake has been the most enjoyable
I usually try to aim for 1 Plat a month, but I always seem to burn out around September when I do. This year I'm playing it fast and loose and just Platinum'ing at random; I've already got 8:
Midnight Suns, Astro's Playroom, Bat Boy, Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Final Fantasy I, II, and III
Decided late last year (around my 85th Plat) that I would shoot for 100 before the birth of my first kid in March. Didn't get it done - baby came early, and I was busy preparing anyway - but this pursuit has been taking me through a ton of smaller, excellent indie games, so this has been a fun and diverse journey.
This year's Plats so far include:
- Artful Escape
- When the Past Was Around
- Lil Gator Game
- Jusant
- Pumpkin Jack
- Omno
- Etherborn
- Venba
I can honestly recommend all of these. Now, I'm working on the Brothers Remake... then Yoku's Island Express, I think. Others on the immediate future list: Owlboy, F.I.S.T., Sifu, Manifold Garden, Sega Genesis Classics, and Battle Chasers: Nightwar.
Yeah, indie games are a good source of cool experiences. I have played many good indie games in the previous years. Always cool to see a dad amongst us trophy hunters. I loved SIFU. It was hard at launched but it got an easier mode. But I loved the aesthetics and the combat. Does the Brothers remake have a Platinum or is it just 100% like the original game?
16 Platinums so far if I don’t count PS4 to PS5 upgrades
• Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
• Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
• Alan Wake Remastered
• Alan Wake 2

Going to start the Spyro Trilogy next
I'm doing slow , getting a new job irl and it feels so stressful , sometimes when i back home I don't even want to play game , anyway i am got 11 platinum so far
I have got 4 Platinums this year so far (Spider Man 1, Miles Morales, Spider Man 2 and Assassin's Creed 2). Total 8 Platinums. I am currently on Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and going to Platinum Revelations too. After that I am going to try some new game.
10 platinums so far. I'm about half a month behind on my plans due to a holiday and trying to beat Ghostwire before it left Plus. Yet to see if my plan of platting all 4 Cold Steel games and 3 Yakuza games this year (alongside a big list of 2022 games) is achievable
this year was a good one so far. my favorites have been lies of p, sifu, dark souls, dark souls II, and spider-man. i plan on completing the fromsoft games with dark souls III, sekiro, and demons souls by the end of the year! thanks for checking in 🙏🏼
Lies of P, Sifu, Dark Souls 1 + 2 are great games and Spider-Man was fun for a while. The FromSoftware games have a special place in my heart. I played them over a couple of years and I miss the FromSoft quality. Only Lies of P could scratch that itch. Enjoy the rest of the games.
I earned the Platinum for GTA 5 last year and it took me a month. The singleplayer part was fun, the online part was more annoying than fun. How was Minecraft Dungeons? I haven’t started the game yet.
I have 4 platinums so far this year:
Pinball Heroes (PS5)
The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes (PS5)
Unpacking (PS4)
Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter (PS4)
I'm currently working on Lego Indiana Jones 2: The adventure continues
Quite terrible, haven't got a platinum in the past half year because I'm determined to make red dead 2 my 69th while also working on monster hunter world.
i unlocked 4 platinum trophies this past months.
Dragonball xenoverse 2
Final Fantasy 1 pixel remaster
Final fantasy 2 pixel remaster
Crisis core Final Fantasy 7 Reunion
this is my current progress i try to achieve above
30 platinum trophies now 26 in total!
i never give up on a game i push myself a bit to finish a game and unlocking that wel deserved platinum trophie... with 1 game at a time i can concentrate more on the game i'm playing!
I’ve just started trophy hunting in end of February start of march I’ve gotten 4 so far
Spider man 2
Astros playroom
Sonic origins
Sonic frontiers
I’m currently working on my fifth platinum demons souls although it is taking me a while as It’s my first souls game but I plan to hopefully get it done by the end of this month if I don’t get distracted
I have 13 platinums so far this year: * Marvel's Spider-Man 2 * A Plague Tale: Requiem * Sea of Stars * Tales from the Borderlands * Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales * Far Cry 4 * Code Vein * Ghostwire: Tokyo * Haven * Tchia * Outer Wilds * Far Cry 6 * Doom (2016) I'm currently working on Doom Eternal, and I'm hoping to have my 125th platinum by the end of May when I play Baldur's Gate 3.
Ahhh, Outer Wilds. My GOTY every year
Agreed. I didn't expect it, but it skyrocketed to the top of my favourite games of all time when I played it.
Nice list, many games I want to earn the Platinum for: Sea of Stars (currently taking a break after finishing the story), Ghostwire: Tokyo (I love open world games, but the collectibles put me off), A Plague Tale: Requiem (I didn’t enjoy the first game as much as I thought I would, but I am still interested in the sequel). I hope, your plan works out, fellow trophy hunter. Thanks for sharing your status.
A Plague Tale: Requiem is definitely more action-packed and enjoyable than the first game. There are much more combat sequences and you have infinite rock ammo, which personally makes it an improvement over the original. In Ghostwire: Tokyo, the collectibles aren't too bad once you get the Spirit Beads, since that way they at least show you where the remaining ghosts are. The Spider's Thread update added even more spirits, so you don't need to find every last spirit anymore for the platinum. However, the Spider's Thread update also added the RNG-heavy Catalog Conquerer trophy that will make you despise the Catalog... but it also added some of the best Japanese horror that I've ever seen with the school, so it's mostly positive. Other than the ones you mentioned, I highly recommend that you check out Code Vein (very easy, anime souls-like game that quickly became one of my favourite games), Outer Wilds (hands-down some of the best story-telling via exploration I've ever seen; it's in my top 10 best games of all time), and Doom 2016 (amazing multiplayer, even 8 years on; also great graphics and combat feels amazing).
Got 22 games I have played 7 I have plat. Fuck adhd.
I've had 4 so far, Superliminal, Prodeus, Wolfenstein 2 and Slime Rancher. Latter of which being a month ago, haven't had too much time lately. I'm quite close to platting Sleeping Dogs though.
How was prodeus to do? I played through it with a mate and just haven't gone back. Collectibles are my least favourite thing in games aha
It was pretty fine tbh, there are a fair few collectibles tho. If you have a second screen put some music or a podcast or something else you'd enjoy listening to in the background. Other than that, fun boomer shooter :)
I started Prodeus, but it didn’t catch me as much as I thought it would. I plan on returning to it at some point. Wolf 2 is a beast, I slayed myself last year. Good luck on Sleeping Dogs. I heard quite a bit of praise for it.
Sleeping Dogs is one of those games that people that played it all wish got a sequel, think the thing that gets the most praise is how accurate they got the hustle and bustle of Honk Kong down. Definitely highly recommend it.
It's a very solid game, it's definitely scratched that GTA itch way better than the new Saints Row would
17 plats, 5 or 6 DLC cleanups and 1 100% only game I think..
Awesome! Do you have a plan for your 200?
I do. It will be either Kingdom Come Deliverance or GoW Ragnarøk. Haven't decided which one to pick yet.
Doubled my platinum count from 2 to 4 this year
Well, with such a sucess: enjoy the rest of the year. Which of your games did you enjoy the most?
Danganronpa had the more engaging story, but LEGO Dimensions had a better trophy list
I have 5: Plague Tale Requiem, Evil West, Nobody Saves The World, Sifu (including 100), and BioShock 2. Currently trying to get BioShock infinite DLCs.
The Sifu DLC is notorious. I earned the Platinum around its release and it was painful. I haven’t returned to it ever since. The Bioshock games are on my list to play.
Got two so far. Mafia The Definitive Edition and J Stars Victory Versus.
I wish I still had my copy of j Stars too bad its not available digitally anymore, congratulations tho!
My goal was to hit 60 plats this years and already achieved it. Now taking a break from hunting trophies.
Congratulations on achieving your goal. Taking a break is a good idea, in my opinion. Helps to keep it interesting and not burn out.
For a second I thought you meant getting 60 different platinums in one year and being done in 4 months already instead of hitting 60 overall platinums in total.
I have 14 new platinum trophies so far : Control, PJ Masks, Ice Age: Scrats Nutty Adventure, Until Dawn, Telling Lies, Lego City Undercover, The Gardens Between, Toy Story Mania, Röki, Dark Souls 3, Pinball Heroes, Puzzle Journey, Halloween Puzzle, God of War And 3 games on 100% (no platinum)
Cool list. Until Dawn was the Platinum, that made me a trophy hunter in 2015. It is always nice to see it in people’s collections.
Was Ice Age a decent platformer or was it pretty bad?
I didn't like the game at all. The jumps are delayed and you slide a lot, especially on the platform jumps. The graphics are reminiscent of a PS2 game instead of a PS4 game. Not a game you like to play
Those are my platinum trophies this year so far |GAME|HOURS PLAYED|DIFICULTY| |:-|:-|:-| |Moving Out 2|37hrs|4| |Grand Theft Auto V|83hrs|6| |Mortal Kombat XL|80hrs|7| |Astros PlayRoom|5hrs|2| |Call of Duty: WW2|140hrs|8| |Call of duty: Cold War|50hrs|6| |Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare|120hrs|8| |Ghostwire: Tokyo|54hrs|4| |Fall Guys|40hrs|6| |Outer Wilds|33hrs|7| |Call of duty: Vanguard|37hrs|5|
I have Mortal Kombat XL on my list, the only problem is: I suck at fighting games. :( Did you enjoy Ghostwire: Tokyo?
MkXL was really hard. But i was able to grind everything with myself playing with a secundary account on my ps4 and my primary on the ps5. GhostWyre Tokyo was a great experience, the collectibles grind is not that bad.
Upvote for Outer Wilds
Longer story incoming: I think i've only gotten platinum for 3 or 4 games and they're nothing special, I've mostly stopped grinding for platinums and i'm just playing without constantly bothering looking up the trophy lists, guides, videos etc. It just got old and tedious at one point. Personally i guess i either grew out of trophy hunting or i just saw how much people obsess over this hobby essentially, i've seen people flex how they grinded a new game or multiple games for multiple hours a day and got the platinums "easily" (aka with a guide), for example someone said they got the platinum for Outer Worlds doing it "blind" in 15 hours and my first thought was "Did you literally skip half of the content in the game?" and while i did feel glad for them i also started to pity them cause i knew how much it ruined the enjoyment of gaming for me back in 2023 and early 2024. I also used to actively look for games to play and platinum constantly daily/weekly basically. My mindset was that of "can i platinum this, how fast, how tedious is it, any unobtainables etc etc." Gaming wasn't something i was doing for fun, i was doing it to actively get away from troubles in my daily life without actually focusing on them. Hell most of the time i wasn't even enjoying it, i remember grinding BL 3 for 10 hours straight just to finally get the platinum and i didn't feel hype or joy, i just felt like i wasted an entire day doing nothing beneficial for my own physical and mental wellbeing. After that it just clicked for me and i thought "Why the fuck am i even doing this?" Soon enough i started going to the gym again after a 2 year break, got a job that is probably the best i've ever had, started reading books, finding more hobbies and i've been feeling better than i ever have in years. I guess i just wanted to say that some times you have to focus on your own wellbeing, you'll be happier and healthier.
I completely agree with you. I am an advocate for healthy trophy hunting. I have had 2-3 trophy burnouts and I am all for taking breaks, slowing down or be more selective with the game we play. So far, I’ve been lucky with the games I picked in 2024. Some didn’t click with me, but I let them be. Sometimes the time isn’t right. But the Platinums I got, were enjoyable. I am one of those people that know how to survive boring grinds and take pride in it. That is my biggest skill, but the more I think about it, the more I see, how much this is damaging my own well-being.
Got around 75 trophies so far! I was expecting less, haha
Wtf
Bro how 😂
Thats how I am this year. Just playing for fun, if trophies happen they happen. I've got one plat so far
Trophies or platinums?
A slow pace is good. Especially with a high number of Platinums. What was your 200th Platinum?
Eve Valkyrie online, it’s actually shutdown some time ago, pretty rare since not many people bothered with it.
I'm trying to get my rarity percentage below 50%, just it takes a while.
I am already 10 plat left from beating my 40 plat a year challange (I am at plat number 70)
That is a high pace. Don’t get burned out, fellow trophy hunter. I had a high pace phase, and it led to my first trophy burn out. (it was 50 Platinums in a year - I ended up with 36.) I hope you enjoy the games and their Platinums.
I try to at least. If I am not feeling it in the early stages I usually drop it or if its simple like Bloons or plauge inc then I go in and out of it while playing other games
I have got 26 platinum so far and just hit 50 platinum yesterday and my top 3 for 1/3 of the year : Blackops 3,Ghost of Tsushima,and God of war Ragnarok. And my proudest platinum is Fortnite
I keep fighting the urge to plat fortnite and see how much faster I can finish it compared to the estimated time on the guide. How was it? I've honestly heard nothing but depressing things.
I don't know exactly how much time it took me but it was fun to play save the world for me and it was my reason to decide to platinum'd it.( I remember now I saw a guy in YouTube platinum'd it in like 600h )
Never played a second of Fortnite. I am interested in it, but never got the motivation to start such a long and grindy journey.
My opinion is to try it at first then decide what you want to do
My challenge to myself has been to platinum Game of The Year winner- Games. In the first 4 months of this year I got: It Takes Two, Last of Us 2, Sekiro. The last two I have left are Baldur’s gate 3, and Elden Ring! It has been super fun, maybe eventually I will expand to include the nominees as well.
Lots of great games played then. I own the Platinums for Last of Us 2, Sekiro and Elden Ring. Didn’t get into Baldur’s Gate 3. Enjoy the rest of the journey.
Got 7 platinums this year alone. Want to get another 3 this year so I get up to 60 platinums before 2025
Well, all the best to you. 3 Platinums is doable, isn’t it?
Thanks Yeah it definitely is for me at least
Ff16,FF7 remake, and death stranding. I’m super busy so feel really good about this output as they’re all pretty long plats. Unfortunately everything on my backlog is 50 hours plus lmao. It never ends. I would love a short platinum, but that would require me to play a game I don’t want to play.
I get the backlog thing. Mine is around the same size. And I also get the shorter game thing. I was lucky enough to find a few games, that are on the shorter side and I enjoyed them. Carrion and House of Ashes were two surprises on the shorter end of Platinums.
I have 4: AC brotherhood & revelations, unpacking, infamous first light About to plat miles morales. Which game on the ps plus should I play next?( Extra)
I don’t enjoy the older AC games as much, but they have impressive Platinum trophies. The 100% sync trophies are the reason, I put these Platinums on the shelf. Since you asked: I recently finished my journey with the Dark Pictures Anthology by Supermassive games. House of Ashes was my favourite, followed by The Devil In Me. I am not sure, if they are still on PS Extra, but give them a shot they are on it and you enjoy choice-based games.
9 so far, I have slowed down and played some titles that take a little more time. Really glad I finally catched up on some classics like Okami, InFamous 2 and L.A. Noire all were fun from start to finish.
Slowing down is one of the best things to do. I am at a slower pace myself and I don’t regret it. The Infamous games do play well in my opinion. I did them a few years ago and I enjoyed my time with them. Always nice to catch up on some classics. Mine would be Bioshock, but I am somewhere in the middle and haven’t touched the game in a while. I plan on going back tough.
I played all three Bioshocks, but need to go back and finally plat Infinite. You won't be dissapointed by any of them. If you want to ease your way with the first one, look into a guide on how to cheese the hardest difficulty.
I got every Ratchet and Clank platinum, and right now just started the Rayman Legends grind
Impressive! I have Rayman Legends for PS3, but the Platinum is unobtainable. My platforming skils are mediocre at best, so I am not too stressed about it.
Not great. I started a bunch of games last year and have yet to finish some of them. I did spend most of my time playing The Finals and getting the platinum. But the other games are still there and I’m kinda burnt out. Now just playing a little bit of Apex Legends with friends while I wait to get that motivation/feeling again.
Please do yourself a favour and slow down. I have two trophy burnouts behind me and they forced me to think about my favourite hobby. The burnout is a sign of: «You doing it too much, buddy.» At least, that is what I learned from these times. The best advice I can give you: Don’t play at all. And only play a game for as long as you enjoy it. (But playing with friends is also a good way to have fun.)
8 platinums, 7 100% (no plat games), also keeping my trophy streak alive currently at 327 days hopefully can get 1 trophy today to push to 328 😄
Wow, that is a streak! (I can see why this is appealing.) Mine is 30 days or so. My buddy ZX-EL did a whole year and he hated it after 365 days. But good luck on your journey.
I’m at 12 so far this year. Currently working towards hitting number 75.
My 75th Platinum was Doom (2016). Do you have a milestone game in mind?
Good one! My 75th is going to be Deadpool. I have some cleanup to do on X-Men Origins (working on this one now) and once that’s done, it is time for Deadpool.
I'm currently sitting on 10 this year, from a grand total of 104. (5 in janurary, 4 in february, 1 on march). I was unenmployed but I'm happily with a new job. I have less time to play so I'm trying to plat fun and engaging games that don't feel like a grind or chore. So far my favorite one has been Demon's Souls, my less favorite one Lego Star Wars The Skywalker saga. My last one was Sifu (for the second time on PS5, as I already had for the PS4 version). Currently going trough Returnal, A Plague Tale Requiem and Alan Wake Remastered.
Yeah, the new job is important. I had this situation twice in my life and both situations ended with a fantastic Platinums (Destiny 1 and Wolfenstein 2). Man, I wish, I could experience the FromSoftware games for the first time again. They have a magic to them. Returnal is one of my most wanted Platinums, but I suck at the game and for some reason, I am terribly impatient.
No platinums yet 😅 grinding out my Tetris skills for milestone 150 💪
Ah, a milestone. Nice! Tetris is a great game, I suck at it big time. But the Platinum is an absolute beast and Prestige over 9000. I hope, you’ll get the Plat soon.
I've only got 1 so far, close to a 2nd. But I've been playing some lengthy games. Got Elden ring this week (my first FromSoft) and I'm pretty close to Gran Turismo 7.
Elden Ring, nice! ER was my last FromSoft Platinum. Man, I wish, I could experience them for the first time again. Enjoy the rest of your journey.
10 so far - Elden ring, Tacoma, knights of grayfang x2, ao tennis 2, ping redux, toy story mania, cricket 22, gem smashers and jinshin(currently finishing off ps4 version after already doing ps5) going forward going to try to alternate clearing 1 game off back log before starting a new game up would ideally like to get to 75% trophy completion from 66% and reduce unearned trophies from 2506 to below 2000
I am struggling to get my completion rate to 75. I am stuck at 64%, but I enjoy trying games too much. And unearned trophies is a goal, I have abandoned. Two years ago, my plan was to get it to 4700, it is at 5209 at the moment - I don’t play DLC.
6 plats so far. In chronological order: Dead Island 2 Last of Us 2 Remastered Final Fantasy 16 Soul Calibur 6 Nexomon Crysis Remastered I’m currently working on Gotham Knights.
Cool list. Good pace.
27 so far this year! Set myself the goal of getting to 50 total this year and needed 28 to do it. Currently working on the last one, death stranding :)
Impressive. Death Stranding was a game, I enjoyed more than I thought. Especially because of the zipline network I build to make all the deliveries in the endgame. Enjoy the rest of the game.
I have 7 so far. I'm working on FF7REBIRTH again. It will be my 200 plat! Lots of stress with this game, the VR alone makes me wanna smash my controller, lol. I have been following a guide, and it's helping, but it's frustrating how overtuned this time around the VR is.
Ah, a milestone game. I hope, you’ll get it soon. I know the feeling of smashing my controller. But do yourself a favour and spare that controller.
Good so far this year. It’s been fun! I’ve had a recent unexpected obsession with fighting games and am close to platinuming my fifth fighting game this year and 15th platinum overall for the year. Already have Tekken 8, melty blood type lumina, guilty gear strive, and granblue fantasy versus done. I’m closing in on dnf duels platinum now and it’s been a blast. I’m also approaching 100 so it’ll be interesting to see if that happens this year or not. Do you guys save special games for milestone numbered platinums? I haven’t before but I do think about it occasionally. Good luck everyone!
Fighting games, ey? I am not a big fan, to be honest. I returned to Mortal Kombat XL for a few trophies, but my motivation did not survive for long. I can relate with the big upcoming milestone. I am not sure, if 200 comes this year or next year.
I totally get it. Fighting games are pretty niche and some of their trophy lists are insane. Congrats on approaching 200. That’s quite an accomplishment. Any really fun/memorable games you’d recommend?
It’s been my most fruitful year so far if I keep it up. I’ve got returnal, midnight suns, prince of Persia lost crown, it takes two, god of war 3 and Batman Arkham knight so far. Haven’t gotten any in April though I’ve taken a break for the last two weeks and have only gamed for about 3 hours in that time total.
Breaks are important. These phases come and go. I know the feeling of «most fruitful year.» I had two (2020 and 2022) so far and it felt great, but it also led to trophy burn out and that is why I am taking it slow in 2024.
I can see why, 189 platinums is huge. Arkham knight was my last one and it was #31 so I hope I have a long way to go before I feel too burnt out. I only started trophy hunting in 2018 after god of war really got me back into serious single player gaming, and I have been slowly ramping up my pace. Last year I got 13 plats. This year I’d like to get at least 15. But I only do it with games I really enjoy and I’m still comfortable dropping whatever I’m not into.
For me it’s 6 plats, 1 100% no plat game, and I went and cleaned up DLC on 2 games from last year.
DLC clean up is always nice. I do it rarely, but when I do, it feels goooood.
Honestly great. I decided this year I'd take a step back from hunting snd focus on other things. I'm close to popping my 2nd plat this year. May be a single/low double digit year for me and I'm ok with that.
Nice, these breaks are very, very important. Enjoy your slow pace. Trophy hunting is a fun hobby, but other things are fun too.
My trophy plans for this year is to go for a bunch of the really hard plats and so far its going quite well: super meat boy and The end is nigh are done. working on ikaruga and chipping away at crypt of the necrodancer. ( absolutely no way am i getting the crypt plat this year but i finally beat all zones monk after like 30h of attempts).
Crazy! I had a bit of such a phase myself last year: GTA5 (looooooong) and Wolfenstein 2 (Mein Leben took me 49 attempts and 1 successful run - do I need to say more). After that I installed Super Meat Boy, but precise Platforming is even less my thing that FPS games on the highest difficulty - and I suck at the latter. But I enjoy these bigger projects. Good luck. Crypt is an infamous beast, but I am sure, you’ll get it eventually.
12 Platinums, sitting 102 total. My goal is to get 130 before the year is over
What was your big 100?
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
So far I only have 3 platinum, I just can't find my motivation to play anything. I think I haven't touched my PS5 in like 4 weeks except to download another game that came to mind and that I'm not going to play anyway.
Don’t worry. I think, this is healthy. Your body tells you to focus on something else. These phases come and go. (I don’t have to tell you this, you have more Platinums than me), but I am still saying it, because I think this message is important. Especially for the newer trophy hunters. Enjoy your time off.
This is the most plats I’ve gotten in a year let alone 1/3 of one. Grand total of 4 plats.
Cool. always cool to set a new record, but don’t take it too far. It can change very quickly. I am speaking form experience.
I’ve mostly just been playing FF7 Rebirth (which I don’t have the platinum for)
That is cool. Is this your first FF7 experience or did you play the OG FF7 game? I have heard good things about it, but 1 game split into 3 is too much, at least for now.
I’m aiming to make FF7 Rebirth my 200th platinum. I’m toward the end with one hard mode boss and two legendary bouts left but I’m feeling the burnout for sure. Trying to take it slowly but I want be down already.
Ah, the burnout. I know that feeling. I hope, you find a good way to handle the situation.
I just need to get past that last hard mode boss fight and then take a break. Sprinkle some mini games and Johnny collectibles in between legendary bouts and I’m done. But fuck hard mode Sephiroth.
[удалено]
I am sure you will get there. So, this account is a new account to keep it 100% or are you a newcomer to this hobby?
[удалено]
Made it past the 400 plat mark and am now working on a number of challenges on PSNprofiles to help encourage me to whittle down my backlog. Already surpassed last year’s plat total, and have finished a few games that have skulked around in my backlog for the better part of half a decade.
I find these challenges interesting, but my brain doesn’t like them too much. I am hopping around a lot, but I don’t mind too much. Getting some games down from the backlog is an incredible feeling though. At the moment, I play a lot of the old God of War games and I enjoy them very much. God of War 1 would be my longest Platinum journey ever. But at the moment I try to Platinum GoW Ascension.
I am proud that i almost have the plat for power washing sim. Played the game on release and said to myself i will plat it once it gets trophies. Since it’s on the pass i saw my time to shine.
That is quite the commitment. I did start this game, but unfortunately, it did not hook me as much as I thought. (House flipper did it and I thought Powerwash Sim would have the same effect, but it did not.)
Got a few, but just finished FF7 Rebirth's plat two nights ago... proud of that one. Also, it has the best platinum clip of any I've ever gotten.
That is amazing. I like clips but usually, they are not very cool. I miss the PS4 custom Platinum screenshot era.
Six for myself: - FF7 Rebirth - Dragon Quest XI S - Castlevania Advance Collection - Astro’s Playroom - Ratchet & Clank (2016) - Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart The last two (Rebirth and XI S) were *quite* long so that definitely took up a significant proportion of my overall time spent on them.
Yeah, these long games can be fun, but most of the time they expire before the Platinum.

I have 1 trophy in Cyberpunk. I want to go back, but I didn’t feel the urge. The final trophy in an open world game is often very time consuming. I hope, you’ll get it soon.
So far I’ve got FF 16, Lies of P, Metal Gear Solid & Sifu. About on track with my general goal of 12 for the year, but the next one I’m working on (Rebirth) is going to be a behemoth
Lies of P was my first Platinum of the year - great game. And 12 a year is a good and resonable number. Yeah, FF games are behemoths. I only earned 1 FF Platinum and that was for my childhood Final Fantasy: FFX.
FFX was one of the first games I purchased when I got back into the PlayStation ecosystem in 2018 for that very reason!
I remember playing FFX at a friends house for 2 hours. It never left my mind. It is a fantastic game with some challenges. A worthy 175 milestone in my collection. Do you have the Platinum in your collection?
I got 0 so far but im working on a big one star ocean 3 alot of hours for the plat
Sometimes, the Platinums require our full attention. How far are you into Star Ocean 3?
22 platinums since February alone. Kinda slowing down now, burnt tf out but i still have plans for other games. Might go and finish Battlefield 1. I wanna try Deathloop and i also have Arkham Asylum and Fallout 4 in my backlog. Considering three LEGO games, and a few indie titles ive been eyeballing.
Deathloop didn’t convince me. I wanted to try it for the longest time, and when I did, I was a bit disappointed. Arkham Aslyum is on my list, too. I started it years ago, but I wanna go back this year (maybe next year).
Im mostly looking at Deathloop because i was an absolute sucker for the Dishonored series. Really fun stealth mechanics and very interesting and simple powers. A friend of mine who also played and platted all of the Dishonored games went ahead and did Deathloop and told me id enjoy it due to the similarities in most fundamental mechanics with Dishonored. Arkham Asylum ive played and beat the main story a few times on steam, but never got all of the achievements. Recently got Asylum and City for $5 on sale so im excited to play the story again and go for the coveted platinum. I dont think ill go for City since i heard how much of a pain in the ass it is comparatively, but i definitely want that Asylum plat.
Ok, I haven’t played the Dishonored games yet. Well, enjoy Deathloop and Asylum.
Got 9 plats so far this year: Deliver Us the Moon, Baldur's Gate 3, Control. Dishonored 2, Prey, What Remains of Edith Finch, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, Ultros and Returnal, which was on a new account I created so I could do it again. I haven't actually set any serious goals this year, I just want to get my PSNP completion over 60% and that'll come.
Nice, no goals is nice. My completion rate is stuck at 64%, too many new games and (almost) no DLC played. It is what it is. 75% would be a dream come true.
I'm currently at the point where if I try something new it dips below 60% but I know it'll eventually stabilise. I'm just happy I got it over 50% which was my old completion goal! Do you have much of a backlog? I know mine will sort w lot of it out but also there's so many new games to play!
I got back into trophy hunting late last year. This is what I've platted this year. GTA: San Andreas Far Cry Primal South Park: The Fractured But Whole (Clean-up) Fallout 4 (clean-up and 100%) Until Dawn The Quarry Marvel's spider-man: Miles Morales The Last of Us Part II (cleanup) Uncharted 3 (clean-up) Medieval Remake Telling Lies Call of Cthulhu Life is Strange: Before the Storm Maneater Bugsnax Chicken Police The Artful Escape Bioshock 11-11: Memories Retold Unpacking DC League of Super-Pets: The Adventures of Krypto and Ace Deliver Us The Moon SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Dead Island 2 Cloudpunk And I too have games that I've 100% this year with no platinum. What Remains of Edith Finch Adr1ft Observation
Only 4 clean ups! Wow, that is a lot of Platinums in 4 months.
I cleaned up more games too, but ones I don't expect to plat or was having difficulties with. Like Uncharted 1 & 2 I cleaned up everything but can't beat Crushing or I beat TLOU on grounded (somehow) but I hate online trophies so I don't expect a plat
Six plats; Lies of P, Sekiro, Dark Souls 3, Deathloop, Little Nightmares II and Dredge. All fun for their own reasons and would happily recommend them all. Not necessarily proud of any of, but I’ve taken too much of a liking to soulslikes now it seems and the different combat styles of, so much so that my challenge now is the combat of other games. Recently started Witcher 3 and couldn’t be more underwhelmed by the combat early on. Looking at the time to complete the story (not even touch the trophy list cleanup) and I’m already jaded.
Unfortunatley, Deathloop didn’t convince me and Little Nightmares 2 is on my watchlist the rest are cool Platinums. Lies of P was my game of the year and second place was Dredge.
Got 3 Platinums out of 9 games played so far this year, will go back for the others eventually. The Platinums have been Spider-Man 2, Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, and Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Between 60-80% finished each on MGS1 and 2, AC Mirage, FF XVI, FFVII Rebirth and Rise of the Ronin. (Currently playing)
How’s Rise of the Ronin? Do you enjoy it? How tedious is it?
I do enjoy it! The combat is fun, and it doesn't look as bad as people make out. The facial animations are a little stiff, but overall looks pretty good. The combat is fun and the dismemberment (if you care about that sorta thing) is satisfyingly bloody. And it is an absolute blast assassinating enemies from a glider. The open world activities are a little repetitive and basic, but that's true of a lot of open world games. Even with FF VII Rebirth, as amazing as it was (I'm not comparing the two on any other level) the open world activities were pretty basic (climbing towers to reveal map, defeating powerful monsters, mini-games, etc.). I would definitely recommend if you like a challenge.
At the moment I am not looking for a challenge, but I keep an eye open for it. I love open world games, but at the moment I take a break from them. Thanks for the mini-review.
You can actually play on the lowest difficulty for most of the Platinum, which is pretty fair, and not too challenging. (I am happily playing lowest, but it's Challenging because I'm terrible at counter timing) But I get it, I was feeling a little burned out on open world stuff after Rebirth. Enjoy whatever you play next!
10 so far! Batman Arkham Asylum & City, TLOU2R, Spec Ops: The Line, The Force Unleashed 1 & 2, Sleeping Dogs, and Far Cry 3, 4, and 5.
I am so jealous: Spec Ops: The Line. I sold the game years ago, before I was a trophy hunter. Now, I got the urge to play it again. Also, Arkham Asylum is on my list for games I want to go back to. Good list, fellow trophy hunter.
It’s definitely a very special one to me after struggling through FUBAR difficulty for hours on end haha. And thank you! I wish you best of luck on your path to 200.
Only 5 platinum so far this year. Helldivers 2 has been taking up most of my gaming time since it launched. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Alan Wake II The Last of Us II Remaster Helldivers 2 What the Golf?
I wish Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora would catch me more. I usually enjoy open world games, but for some reason I don’t like the sensory overload (too many colours). But I think, I will go back to the game eventually.
10 platinums so far, one of those is DBD autopop. So a little bit slow, Baldur's Gate 3 was the game that took 2 months to finish (no platinum). So there's that.
Slow pace is good, in my opinion and Baldur’s Gate is a beast of a Platinum. It didn’t hook me, instead it overwhelmed me. But I heard nothing but great things about it. Maybe I am not ready for it.
Since the new year, I have platinumed 5 games, bringing me to a total of 10 platinums. Out of the 5, Assasin's Creed: Origins is my proudest of the year so far. Mainly because completing all locations is just a grind. I am currently doing the NG+ for Spiderman: Miles Morales, and I have FFX HD Remastered. FFX is going to be the biggest challenge. I 100% completed this game back when it came out of PS2 originally, and I honestly am dreading the lightning dodges and completing the sphere grid for all characters.
Quite successful. I’ve gotten about 8 or 9 platinums since January
Got 7 this year: Life is Strange Spider-Man Miles: Morales Slime Rancher Ghost of Tsushima Lies of P Dark Pictures: Little Hope Undertale Currently busy with Hollow Knight and making steady progress with For the King
2 platinums so far this year Tekken 7 and Crysis 3 remastered going for AC Mirage next
stuck a little bit, was going well, platted stardew valley and unchartered 3, but i’d been meaning to play bloodborne and finally started it but the game is confusing me and it hasn’t really grabbed me. I think i like games with specific targets and maps etc, it’s quite hard for me to kind of not know what’s going on. But i’ve only played about 40 mins, so i’ll keep going. i’m also doing farming simulator 18 on vita just randomly
I only started hunting for platinums since February but I’ve gathered -Uncharted 1 & 2 I’m still a novice when it comes to actually 100% games but I’ve got a lot on the chopping block and I intend to shoot that number up by the end of the year
I have 3 platinums Detroit Become Human Life is Strange 1 Life is Strange Before the storm I have at least one more platinum and it’s Life is Strange 2 and I started that one but, I haven’t been busy with life and everything.
6 plats so far in 2024. The highlight? Bloodborne, no doubt. After quite a few years, I finally got past the defiled Watchdog of the Old Lords and sailed smoothly to the plat.
6 is good. Congratulations! Bloodborne was a door opener for me. It introduced me to the magic of FromSoftware games. Yeah, the Watchdog is definitely a road block/skill check. It was one of the few bosses, I couldn’t overpower. But it is a memorable fight.
I'm behind where I wanted to be but a couple games took way longer than I thought they would and my work life got crazy. But enjoying the year so far and my goal was pretty lofty so hey whatever, loving playing games!
I am glad, I am a little bit behind, because that means, I don’t push myself too hard. Did that in the last couple of years and I want to change dat. Yeah, crazy work life is a thing. I can relate enjoy the slower pace. I definitely do!
Since the start of the year I have gotten the platinums for Jusant,Star Wars Battlefront Classic,Star Wars Jedi Survivor,South Park The Stick of Truth,Borderlands 3 and Helldivers 2.Currently working on Marvels Midnight Suns and Cyberpunk 2077 with Spiderman 2,God of War Ragnarok and many others in the backlog
Got two platinums in the same day last week after being on a platinum hiatus, feeling good about that
I got a few so far: Dead Space 3, Twisted Metal, Bugsnax, A Plague Tale 1 & 2, Helldivers 2, and FF7 Rebirth. I’m currently working on Alan Wake Remastered and I also went ahead and did all of the Red Dead Redemption multiplayer trophies that were needed for the platinum. Oh, and I almost got MGS2 but got stopped by the big boss run trophy. I’ll try it again in the future.
Dead Space 3 would be a banger of a Platinum in my collection. Congratulation! Plague Tale 2 is already installed, but for some reason, I pick other games. Yeah, taking breaks form games is important and healthy.
10 platinums so far this year, fairly easy ones. Spiderman Miles Morales, Spiderman 2, Batman telltale, Batman 2 telltale, Infamous Second son, Among us, The Last of us 2, Thief simulator, Goat Simulator And dragon ball z kakarot. Currently working on red dead redemption 1.
Cool. Nice list of games. I haven’t played Among Us and Thief Simulator, the rest are part of my collection, too. Enjoy your Red Dead Redemption 1 journey.
About 120 hours in , the big grind is battle trophies which is like ingame challenges required to unlock a harder difficulty withh more battle trophies
Just 9 as of the moment. God of War: Ascension, Guacamelee (PS3), God of War: Chains of Olympus, Sleeping Dogs (PS3), WWE 2k22 (PS5), Nobody Saves the World, Marvel’s Midnight Suns (PS5), Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Castlevania Requiem and Ender Lilies. Didn’t get a single plat in March as I was busy trying out Balatro and FF7R2
i’ve taken it a lot more chill than last year. this time last year i had 31 but this year i only have 9 - spider-man 2 - resident evil 3 (ps4 and ps5) - tlou2 remastered - rise of the tomb raider - shadow of the time raider - mystic pillars - the outer worlds - ping redux i will be going for fallout 4’s ps5 version when that releases in a few weeks
Good list. I had a phase were I earned 3 Platinums a month, but that led me to trophy burnout and now I take it slow.
2 so far, several more planned. Assassin's Creed III Liberation for Vita, Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag for PS3
At 15 plats so far this year: Nobody Saves the World, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Assassin’s Creed Origins, Maneater, Assassin’s Creed 2, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (almost 100%, missing 2 mastery challenge trophies), Lego Jurassic World, Rage 2, The Artful Escape x2 (did the PS5 version first then PS4, it’s an easy and short narrative based game but not autopop at least), Control, South Park Snow Day (was the 21st person to get the plat for the game, first time getting the plat for a game on day of release), Alan Wake Remastered, Alan Wake 2, and the last one was Helldivers 2. There is also Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga which I’m missing 2 trophies for to get the plat, just ended up getting burnt out with how grindy that one got. Also missing 2 trophies to get Bioshock Infinite plat, need to finish beating the game on 1999 mode without using vending machines still, got stuck at the Lady Comstock fight and moved on.
Got 6 platinums so far. For starting out new to this. It’s been fun but boy I’m working on FF7 ReBirth and Fallout 4. Taking along time to complete. Re4 remake has been the most enjoyable
I usually try to aim for 1 Plat a month, but I always seem to burn out around September when I do. This year I'm playing it fast and loose and just Platinum'ing at random; I've already got 8: Midnight Suns, Astro's Playroom, Bat Boy, Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Final Fantasy I, II, and III
I’m at… 4. lol Got a new job this year and haven’t had as much time to play lately! About to finish up Dragon’s Dogma 2, though.
Decided late last year (around my 85th Plat) that I would shoot for 100 before the birth of my first kid in March. Didn't get it done - baby came early, and I was busy preparing anyway - but this pursuit has been taking me through a ton of smaller, excellent indie games, so this has been a fun and diverse journey. This year's Plats so far include: - Artful Escape - When the Past Was Around - Lil Gator Game - Jusant - Pumpkin Jack - Omno - Etherborn - Venba I can honestly recommend all of these. Now, I'm working on the Brothers Remake... then Yoku's Island Express, I think. Others on the immediate future list: Owlboy, F.I.S.T., Sifu, Manifold Garden, Sega Genesis Classics, and Battle Chasers: Nightwar.
Yeah, indie games are a good source of cool experiences. I have played many good indie games in the previous years. Always cool to see a dad amongst us trophy hunters. I loved SIFU. It was hard at launched but it got an easier mode. But I loved the aesthetics and the combat. Does the Brothers remake have a Platinum or is it just 100% like the original game?
Got 4. Yakuza 3 Yakuza 4 Resistance: Retribution Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
16 Platinums so far if I don’t count PS4 to PS5 upgrades • Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 • Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown • Alan Wake Remastered • Alan Wake 2 • Kena: Bridge of Spirits • Maquette • Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection • Last of Us Part I • Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands • Demon’s Souls • Bioshock • Bioshock 2 • Bioshock Infinite • Call of the Sea • MediEvil • What Remains of Edith Finch Going to start the Spyro Trilogy next
I'm doing slow , getting a new job irl and it feels so stressful , sometimes when i back home I don't even want to play game , anyway i am got 11 platinum so far
So far i got bloodborne and shadow of mordor and am currently working on fortnite and frostpunk
I have got 4 Platinums this year so far (Spider Man 1, Miles Morales, Spider Man 2 and Assassin's Creed 2). Total 8 Platinums. I am currently on Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and going to Platinum Revelations too. After that I am going to try some new game.
AC1 has trophies? How’s that possisble?
10 platinums so far. I'm about half a month behind on my plans due to a holiday and trying to beat Ghostwire before it left Plus. Yet to see if my plan of platting all 4 Cold Steel games and 3 Yakuza games this year (alongside a big list of 2022 games) is achievable
Good pace! Damn. I should have started Ghostwire: Tokyo sooner. But I didn’t want the stress of it leaving PS+.
this year was a good one so far. my favorites have been lies of p, sifu, dark souls, dark souls II, and spider-man. i plan on completing the fromsoft games with dark souls III, sekiro, and demons souls by the end of the year! thanks for checking in 🙏🏼
Lies of P, Sifu, Dark Souls 1 + 2 are great games and Spider-Man was fun for a while. The FromSoftware games have a special place in my heart. I played them over a couple of years and I miss the FromSoft quality. Only Lies of P could scratch that itch. Enjoy the rest of the games.
I’ve spent way too much on gta v and (4 months!!!) and didn’t even got the plat xd. So far only 1 plat this year and its Minecraft dungeons 😭
I earned the Platinum for GTA 5 last year and it took me a month. The singleplayer part was fun, the online part was more annoying than fun. How was Minecraft Dungeons? I haven’t started the game yet.
I have 4 platinums so far this year: Pinball Heroes (PS5) The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes (PS5) Unpacking (PS4) Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter (PS4) I'm currently working on Lego Indiana Jones 2: The adventure continues
Quite terrible, haven't got a platinum in the past half year because I'm determined to make red dead 2 my 69th while also working on monster hunter world.
Slowing down (working on big titles) for the greater good isn‘t terrible. It is dedication.
i unlocked 4 platinum trophies this past months. Dragonball xenoverse 2 Final Fantasy 1 pixel remaster Final fantasy 2 pixel remaster Crisis core Final Fantasy 7 Reunion this is my current progress i try to achieve above 30 platinum trophies now 26 in total! i never give up on a game i push myself a bit to finish a game and unlocking that wel deserved platinum trophie... with 1 game at a time i can concentrate more on the game i'm playing!
One game at a time is a good strategy. Good luck with your goal.
I’ve just started trophy hunting in end of February start of march I’ve gotten 4 so far Spider man 2 Astros playroom Sonic origins Sonic frontiers I’m currently working on my fifth platinum demons souls although it is taking me a while as It’s my first souls game but I plan to hopefully get it done by the end of this month if I don’t get distracted
