@sorteddan congrats, I have always been interested in the game myself but I think I'll wait for it to go to ps + to give it a try.

#23 Tails of Iron

A Brilliant little Indie game, loved the art style and the combat, the narration story telling was also a really nice touch, would definitely recommend to any one who likes games like Hollow Knight or Cuphead, not as hard as them 2 but definitely some challenging fights. Also it does have am easy mode for anyone just wanting to enjoy the game and it doesn't effect the plat.
8hrs was my save time for completing the plat.

@sorteddan Congrats, nice work on The Ascent. That was a game I was keen to try at one point but based on your comments I might leave it until I've run out of games I really want to play.

@MaulTsir Congrats as well. I'm really into Hollow Knight so might check that one out.

@CaptD @MaulTsir @render
Thanks People.
But you know it may just be me that's wrong right? I worry you may miss out on something you'd enjoy just because I don't.

And Congratulations on Tales of Iron @MaulTsir
Was curious about it but 8 hours sounds like something may be able to fit a smaller game into my schedule. Also thought I may reach an insurmountable challenge and give up so good to know about the difficulty. Can you change difficulty part way through or are you locked in from the start?

@MaulTsir Nice work, I have that one installed and it is just waiting for its time slot.

My new plats are...
Dead nation (vita). This one only took 4 or so years, it was that tricky to find a coop partner (I jest).
Good game on vita, nice port with a few dips in frame rate but nothing that isn't to be expected considering. Easier platinum than the PS4 version as there are less undead in the Vita world which is strange considering the Vita is dead.
In fact platinum rarity is 5% as opposed to 0.5% on PS4 which is actually great to see as it shows the Vita people are willing to grind out the 53k which is a longer grind due to fewer zombies.

Second up is Life is strange 2. I don't think I enjoyed this as much as the Colonel but it was good, just a tad boring in places. Good locales though and the music was also top notch.

@CaptD congrats on Dead Nation (Vita) and Life is Strange 2… sounds like I may have got you expectations a little out of whack on the latter, my bad. A fine days work though!

@CaptD
But there are still enough zombies for a Nation right? Sounds like more of a Dead Principality...

Well done on your recent double!

@sorteddan I believe its locked at the start, I enjoyed the challenge, you don't level like typical rpgs you find better gear that helps you improve your stats.

#166 The Light in the Darkness (PS5)
Gameplay difficulty 2/10
Emotional difficulty: High

Less a game and more an interactive educational experience portraying aspects of life for a Jewish family living in France during the 1940s. I downloaded it for the easy platinum (about 90 minutes, all trophies unmissable) but honestly found it really quite affecting.
Normally I'm on this thread to boast about my latest shiny achievement but in this case please don't respond with any congratulations, I don't feel it appropriate.

My hope is that some of you may be unaware of it and may read this and go check it out for yourself.

@BeerIsAwesome Congrats, I was surprised how much I enjoyed Grid Legends.
As for the grind it has been worse as @sorteddan will testify, I think EA were trying to sell you that 79p dlc which cuts the grind...Glad you didn't give in as it only encourages them.

@BeerIsAwesome Wow my playtime was substantially less than that, around 40-50 I think but I was aware of certain gotchas before I started, mainly driving Ferrari whenever possible. However I did grind on the oval circuit quite a bit for a few cars plus I would often change my car when I reached whatever grind limit I required. Plus I think there are races in the lower classes that you don't need to complete, I avoided a few disciplines that I didn't enjoy.

As a footnote, I remember seeing a thread on psnprofiles where people were discussing their playtimes and there was quite the disparity.

@BeerIsAwesome
Congratulations on #98
That hundredth almost in sight, depends on what games you've got coming up.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it and is definitely one I hope to get around to in the next couple of months.
Hopefully will take me considerably less time than you though!

@CaptD
Testify brother! I'm going all out head down grind mode for the next few days as I've had enough! Already done 500 miles today and hope to reach 20,000 miles shortly. Want it done within the week.

Nice one @BeerIsAwesome. Planning anything special for the 100th?

I was pondering giving Grid:Legends a go sometime soon but if there is a lot of grind I might skip it.

@BeerIsAwesome congrats bud, always nice to finish off a grindy plat and look to pastures new. Good luck with what I hope will be a memorable big 100!

Finaly, Platinum #46: Jedi Survivor

Today's patch fixed my progression blocker and I could finally take care of the remaining Bounty Hunters.
Now, idk if this is something that today's patch also introduced of if it's always been that way, but the game's performance when making my way to Jo The Cannibal through the Lucrehulk was absolutely abysmal. Actual slide show.

I liked this game a lot but between the long wait for a patch and the perofmance problems, I'm just glad to be done with it now.

You know you are a trophy hunter when:

1) the thought of leaving a game one trophy short of achieving a platinum makes your brain itch
2) you are prepared to spend 100+ hours to get that last trophy

...
#167 Grid (PS4)
I finished the majority of the game months ago and think I probably enjoyed it. Every day since I've done up to an hour grinding to reach a stupidly high target (25,000 miles), it'll be strange to get up tomorrow and not have to do it!

@Voltan
Well done. Glad the patch fixed your blockage and you can now also move on.
