@colonelkilgore Going straight in on hard mode wasn’t such a shock as it was coming from normal difficulty (it’s mostly just the enemies hit a lot harder) and there were a few of those lock in fights that took me a few goes but yeah, I really enjoyed it again.
I forgot just how quickly you unlocked abilities though and the whole run, not bothering with 100%ing areas etc and getting the “bad” ending, was only around 7 hours.
@Thrillho nice, just a couple of sessions then. I used a code to unlock Hard from the start so I only had to do the one playthrough. It being the first metroidvania I’ve played, I did find certain areas tricky but it wasn’t too bad to be fair.
@colonelkilgore Yeah, it would've been a pain to need to do two runs, one of which would need all the challenges and orbs. I think my original run was about 12 hours and I think the sequel was similar in being close to doubling the game time to get the good ending.
#96 now in the bag.
Islanders Console Edition.
Chill strategy game, only one trophy caused me repeated attempts to obtain. Whole thing done in around six hours.

Platinum #66 - Bastion - tricky little plat that fair play... wouldn’t go as fair as to say it was difficult but some ‘awkward’ parts for sure.
Decent game, took a while to gel with it but I ended up quite enjoying the home stretch and will quite look forward to playing SuperGiant’s other games in 2022. Great OST and voice acting in particular.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart platinum done and dusted. A really great game. Not too bad of a trophy list either. Probably the hardest was finding all the Craiggerbears. I missed one and had to look up a guide and even then had to do a little trial and error through a lot of the worlds.

@Th3solution Rift Apart seems the same as many of the big hitter first party games (HZD, Spider-Man, TLOU2) in being very achievable without having to go too much out of your way. I hope you enjoyed the game though!
@colonelkilgore Thanks, and I had been planning to do Demon’s Souls soon. I do have a couple straggling unfinished games I may try to tidy up first though. We’ll see.
@Thrillho I did enjoy it, very much so. I’m considering writing an actual review of the game, but I’ll have to see if the time and motivation hit me. Overall it’s a game that grew more enjoyable over time for me. And I have no complaints about the length, like many people do. It was a really fantastic experience.
@RogerRoger Thanks! I suspect my next platinum post will be a while. I’m not nearly the platinum machine that some of our fellow expert Push Squarians are. This is just number 33 for me.

@RogerRoger … and cheers Rog. Yeah this thread is all kinds a busy right now… as someone who loves the trophy hunt, I’m appreciating the current boom 😁
I do like it when a platinum pops without expecting it. Been playing Wreckfest just because well I found I quite enjoyed it and I had it from PS+ earlier in the year. It's a good chill out game for playing after other things (turns out that smashing up cars is a good way to let go of that stress of beating up or being beaten by bad guys!). Playing an online deathmatch and got wrecked for the 100th time to complete my trophy set, so basically I had to lose to win!
