Welcome
back!
This time
I’m going to list up all the games I did from beginning of 2017 until now. It’s
quite a long list but it will be the last “Summing Up the Past” post. After
this one I will post every time I get a new Platinum Trophy. I will also get a
little bit into more detail of each game then and will try to give you some
valuable tips. But before this, let’s see what kept me busy this year:
85. Believer! –
This year started good as I had 2 unplayed Visual Novels in my backlog. The
first one I got rid of was Believer!, which can be completed in under 20
minutes by using a guide.
87. Steep – This
is one of the best games I played within this year. It’s a winter sports game
in which you need to beat Snowboard/Ski, Paraglide and Wingsuit challenges with
awesome graphics. Some of these challenges are pretty hard but they’re all
doable if you keep trying. Unfortunately one trophy was glitched – but this was
predictable as it has been developed by Ubisoft – and I had to find a
workaround for this. It took me a week to figure it out but it finally worked.
There’s also been released the Winterfest
DLC lately but to be honest, the difficulty as well as the fun factor in this
DLC decreased a lot. I was able to complete Winterfest in under one hour but it
bored the hell out of me. I can only recommend to not by this DLC, unless
you’re a 100% completionist.
88. Life is Strange (PS3 version) – I can only recommend this game to anyone who hasn’t
played it yet. It’s an episodic drama – similar to Telltale games – with an awesome story. I truly enjoyed this game
even I already played the PS4 version.
89. The Wolf Among Us (PS3 version) – As it’s a Telltale
game, I’d normally play the game simultaneously on different systems but I read
that it should have a good story so I gave it a try. Unfortunately I got very
disappointed. IMO the characters as well as the story itself were pretty bad.
And what’s even worse, some of the chapters need to be replayed for some
trophies. I really had a hard time playing through this game and I knew I had
to play it 2 more times.
90. The Wolf Among Us (PS4 version) – Directly after beating the PS3 version, I started
playing through the PS3 and Vita versions simultaneously. The second
playthrough was even worse. Additionally the Vita crashed a few times and I had
to play large portions of chapter again.
91. The Wolf Among Us (Version version) – see above
92. Her Majesty’s SPIFFING – A short and easy Point & Click with British humor. This may be
funny for some people but I found it pretty annoying. I can’t get used to this
kind of humor.
93. The Walking Dead (PS3 version) – After playing The
Wolf Among Us I thought it might be the right time to get rid of my
Telltale backlog. So I played the first season of The Walking Dead on my PS3
and the Vita simultaneously. IMO it’s still the best Telltale game up to now.
94. The Walking Dead (Vita version) – see above
95. Peggle 2 –
This is a puzzle game in which you have to shot enough bubbles to proceed to
the next level. If you’re going for the Platinum Trophy, I highly recommend to
buy the 2 DLCs as well as this will make some challenges much easier.
96. X-Men: Destiny:
This game looks and feels like a typical license game – weak story and always
the same enemies. It’s a bit of a grind but nothing is really difficult. If
you’re lucky and the glitch works, you can save yourself a complete playthrough
on the highest difficulty.
97. Deponia –
Another very easy Point & Click. It has a few missable trophies but if you
follow a guide, you won’t have any problems and can complete it in 2-3 hours.
98. Virgina – There’s
no dialogue at all in this Point & Click Adventure and it’s pretty straight
forward. You need to play through the game twice to unlock the Platinum Trophy.
In this case you could play blindly through the game for the first time but I
highly recommend to use a guide for your second playthrough. There are some missbale
trophies and don’t want to play through it for a 3rd time.
99. Puss in Boots
– The game to the movie of the same name. It’s designed for kids thus it should
be much of a challenge for you. There’re a few annoying trophies but nothing
really difficult.
100.
Monster Jam – As I’ve already played Monster Jam: Path of Destruction and Monster Jam: Crush It! I wanted to play
this game as well. Luckily it was much better than Crush It! But no way as good as Battlegrounds.
There are a few annoying levels in stunt mode where a guide would come in handy
but the rest is cakewalk.
101.
Broken Age – By far the hardest Point &
Click I’ve played yet. To unlock the Platinum Trophy you have to do a lot of
random stuff and you also have to do a speedrun, which requires you to beat the
game within one hour.
102.
Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs – Another license game but this one
is a little bit more of a challenge. The story is fairly simple but there are
some time challenges and a few of them might take you some tries.
103.
√Letter (EU PS4 version) – This is a visual
novel that can be completed within a few hours but it requires your full
attention. You have to manually switch between the different locations and have
to do some investigations. Thus it’s not recommended to play this
simultaneously with another game, as I usually would to while playing visual
novels.
104.
Steins;Gate 0 (EU/US PS4 version) – Another quick
and easy visual novel. It can be complete much faster than the original Steins;Gate as it requires lesser
playthroughs.
105.
Color Guardians – I got this game for free as part
of the Instant Game Collection for PS+ members. It’s a side scrolling Jump
& Run and personally I found this game quite challenging.
106.
Coffin Dodgers – This one is a weird little Mario Kart clone. It’s not a bad game
and can be completed within a few hours. You’ll unlock most of the trophies
while playing through career. A few of them may need to be grinded.
107.
Goat Simulator (PS3 version) – As the name implies,
you’re playing as a goat in this sandbox game. For the trophies you have to
perform some random tasks and most of them are fairly easy. The only real
pain-in-the-ass trophy is Flapmaster. You have to play a minigame within the
game and its controls are just awful. It took me more time to unlock this
trophy then to unlock all other trophies. Please note that the PS3 doesn’t have
any DLCs whereas the PS4 versions has some DLCs with trophies.
108.
Kung Fu Panda 2 – This game follows the movie’s
storyline. The game itself is easy but there are a few hundreds of collectibles
you need to collect and the game doesn’t tell you in which region you’ve some.
Luckily there are some good guides out there which help you with getting them
all.
109.
Everybody’s Gone To The Rapture – AKA the walking simulator. The
only thing you’re doing in this game is to walk through a town, watch some
scenes and gather some collectibles. I liked the graphics and the setting of
the game but the story is lame and the walking speed is REALLY slow. It’s hard
not to fall asleep while playing this game. The good thing is, I got it for
free as part of the IGC.
110.
Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and
Punishments (EU/US
PS3/PS4 version) – As a Sherlock Holmes fan I thought I’d have fun playing this
Point & Click but no, it wasn’t fun at all. Lame story, lame graphics and
annoying long loading times is the only thing the game can offer.
111.
XBlaze Lost Memories (EU/US Vita Version) – In the first
part of the game you’re walking through some dungeons in which you have to pick
up some collectibles. These collectibles help you to restore your memories and
trigger some cutscenes. Halfway through the game it switches to a Visual Novel.
I played this simultaneously with the PS3 version.
112.
XBlaze Lost Memories (EU/US PS3 Version) – see above
113.
Demetrios – Point & Click. As usual, can
be completed within a few hours with the help of a guide. This one was actually
quite funny – sometimes.
114.
Rozen Maiden: Wechseln sie welt ab (Vita version) – A Visual Novel
which can be completed in a few hours. I don’t know why they gave it a German
title – maybe the devs wanted to be cool – but “Wechseln sie welt ab” doesn’t
mean anything in German.
115.
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs – This game is like most of the
other license game: pretty easy and not really good. Luckily there aren’t too
much collectibles.
116.
Batman (PS4 version) – As every other Telltale game, all trophies unlock by
simply processing through the story and can be played simultaneously with the
PS3 version. It’s the last game Telltale released for PS3. Storywise it wasn’t
that good and it ended with a cliff hanger so we can expect a season 2 in the
future.
117.
Batman (PS3 version) – see above
118.
Rango – To my surprise, this was a license game
which wasn’t that bad at all. I really enjoyed some parts of the game.
Unfortunately you need to do some grinding at the end but this doesn’t take
that long.
119.
Eekeemoo: Splinters of Dark Shard (EU version) – I bought this game
shortly after it has been released and played through it blindly. I was able to
unlock the Platinum Trophy in this “epic” Adventure / Hack & Slay in
roughly 3.5 hours. There are a few collectibles and some of the kill related
trophies are buggy but otherwise the game is very easy. If you need help you
can follow this guide or this video by IBadDriverI for the collectibles.
120.
Eekeemoo: Splinters of Dark Shard (US version) – see above
121.
Gem Smashers (PS4 version) – In this puzzle game
you have to collect (or smash) all gems within one level to be able to proceed
to the next. The game is very easy but it’s only fund for about half an hour.
After that you’ve already seen everything the game has to offer.
122.
Gem Smashers (Vita version) – see above, The
only additional thing that needs to be pointed out is that Inverse Champion
glitched on me on the Vita and I had to delete the game and reinstall it a few
times to make this trophy unlock.
123.
Mr. Massagy – Another epic masterpiece by Green Lava Studios, the team that
brought to you the highly anticipated My
Name is Mayo – sarcasm off. The only reason why you should buy this game is
because you can unlock the Platinum Trophy in this dating simulator within 20
minutes by following the IBadDriverI’s trophy guide video.
124.
FlatOut 4 – This seems to be one of the most
underrated games of the year. If you’ve liked the previous games of the series
or like Burnout games, you’ll for
sure enjoy this game. If you’re struggling with it, check out my guide or IBadDriverI’s videos stunts, time trials and beat the bombs.
125.
Lara Croft GO – This game has been released by Square Enix and thus it’s similar to Himtan GO: Definitive Edition. You have
to puzzle your way through the levels whilst picking up some collectibles. You
don’t even need a guide, as the in-game tips will guide you through each level.
126.
Clockwork Tales: Of Glass and Ink – This is one of many Point &
Clicks developed by Artifex Mundi for
Steam which have been ported to PS4 within the last years. Those games aren’t
typical Point & Clicks as they also contain hidden object games. This one
is the easiest and fastest of all those games.
127.
Gemini: Heroes Reborn – A very short and easy action game
in which you gain most of the trophies by progressing through the story. Of
course, it also has a trophy related to collectibles.
128.
Toro – The bull-fighting game nobody was waiting
for. Bad graphics and lousy controls distinguishes this game from others.
129.
Gauntlet – I got this game for free as part of the IGC
back in 2015. At this time I wasn’t into trophy hunting and thus I only played
through the story and unlocked some random trophies. A few months later I got all
kill related trophies, which has been one big awful grind. The only thing I was
missing was to reach floor 50 in endless mode. I tried it several time but I
failed all the time. Luckily I some random guys joined my lobby once. They were
really good in this game and they pulled me through the floors. A big thanks to
you guys!
130.
The Inner World (EU version) – A very lousy Point
& Click that has been ported from Steam to PS4. The story is really weird
and it has a lot of missable trophies. I recommend using my guide
or the walkthrough video
by IBadDriverI.
131.
Full Throttle Remastered – After Day of the Tentacle, another great remaster by Double Fine. I enjoyed this remaster as much as the original game
back in the 90s. If you get stuck, you can use my guide
or the walkthrough video
by IBadDriverI.
132.
The Inner World (US version) – see #130
133.
Blackwood Crossing (EU version) – A quick and easy
adventure that I was able to complete with the help of this video walkthrough by IBadDriverI.
134.
The Sexy Brutale – For me definitively the game of
the year. It’s a great indi adventure with an awesome story. I also enjoyed the
graphics and the gameplay. You have to solve some (not too hard) puzzles to
prevent deaths of the NPCs. IMO you should play through this game blind but if
you want you can use my trophy guide
or written
walkthrough or the video
walkthrough by IBadDriverI. There are also a lot of collectibles
in this game. To make it easier you could use my collectible
guide or IBadDriverI’s collectible video.
135.
Blackwood Crossing (US version) – see #133
136.
√Letter (EU Vita version) – see #103
137.
Steins;Gate 0 (EU/US Vita version) – see #104
138.
Steins;Gate (US PS3 version) – I already
completed the EU PS3 and Vita version of this Visual Novel. At this time it was
on sale on the US store and I took the chance to unlock this cheap Platinum
Trophy.
139.
Wheels of Aurelia (EU version) – Wheels of Aurelia is a story driven adventure game with 16
different endings, which all need to be unlocked. Luckily one playthrough only takes
15 minutes. The most annoying trophy is Ending P but apart from that everything
is easy. There’s also a US version available which I’ll get as soon as it is on
sale.
140.
巫女学校物語～楓編 – This is an adventure game that is only available in the Japanese
store. Most of the time you’re just watching cutscenes. The parts in which you
actually control your character are very short. You could unlock all trophies
within 5-6 hours if you have the nerves to do them all in one sitting.
141.
Black & White Bushido (EU version) – If you own a second controller
and you want to get a very fast Platinum Trophy, this is the perfect game for
you. It’s a fighting game and you can unlock (nearly) all trophies while playing
against yourself. If you follow my guide,
you’ll be able to unlock everything in around 15 minutes.
142.
Black & White Bushido (US version) – see above
143.
Albedo: Eyes From Outer Space (JP version) – “Yeah, another
version of Albedo. Now I can play through this highly anticipated game AND
unlock trophies again!” was no one ever saying. Seriously, I hope this is the
last version they’ve ever released. Playing this bullshit for the 3rd
time is enough.
144.
Murdered: Soul Suspect (PS3 version) – As I already played
through the PS4 version back in 2016, I simply rushed through this game with
the help of a guide and didn’t care about story or anything else. Thus I
skipped most of the cutscense and was able to do it much faster than last time.
145.
Dying: Reborn (EU PS4 version) – If you ever plan
to play this game, use a guide! This game is short but terrible and you don’t
want to play through it for a second time due to some missing trophies. This
room-escape game has one of the worst voice actings I heard in my whole life.
146.
Super Time Force Ultra – This one is another relict of my
pre-trophy-hunter era. I got for free as part of the IGC and didn’t even played
through the story as I found it really hard at that time. A few months later I
came back and finished the story and some of the random trophies. This time I
found it already much easier. Nearly a year later I finally found the time to
complete this game. The things there were missing were the collectibles, the
Helladeck levels and the Ultra Hardcore Mode playthrough. I don’t know why I needed
so long to complete this game as it really wasn’t that challenging at all.
147.
Siegecraft Commander (EU version) – Even this game has a
story mode, all trophies need to be unlocked in offline multiplayer. If you
follow a guide or some YouTube videos, those trophies shouldn’t give you any
troubles.
148.
Yesterday Origins – Another easy but very annoying
Point & Click. In this game you aren’t allowed to skip any cutscense and
you have to finish it in under 250 minutes or you’ll miss the related trophies.
If you use a guide and you’re fast enough, everything can be done in one
playthrough. Don’t forget to pause the game when preparing your next steps.
149.
Dying Light – This game was given to me by my
brother in law shortly after I bought my PS4. I really liked it and I must
admit, this is one of the best games on PS4 I played until now. I finished the
story but I didn’t care about the multiplayer trophies as I wasn’t interested
in trophies at all at that time. Over 2 years later I got myself a copy of the Enhanced
Edition and took part in a gaming session to unlock the missing trophies of the
base game. I also plan to finish the DLCs somewhere in the future.
150.
Apotheon – I picked up this game for ~4€ when it was on
sale in the Austrian store. Despite the Platinum Trophy is ultra-rare, the game
itself is no challenge at all. You only need to play through it once, get rid
of the trophies tide to side missions and collectibles, and afterwards you can
use a glitch to save yourself a complete playthrough on Olympian, the hardest
difficulty. This game can be completed in around 10 hours.
That’s it
for today. As you can see, a lot of easy games in this list. If you haven’t
gotten them all already, you should pick them up and watch your platinum count
rising.
I don’t
know what will be next. Let’s which game I’ll finish and I’ll post about that. As
usual, thanks for reading.
Yours,
AvengedEvil
