Because I just had to play a match of A.I. Darts to get my daily tasks completed I'll announce it thusly...
One Hundred and Eighty!
#180 Arcade Paradise (PS5)
I really really enjoyed this game. Think it may have been designed with someone like me in mind.
Started it a couple of weeks back and played almost nothing else since - PS5 tracker says 43 hours which seems about right. The start is a bit so-so but once you realise you can mostly ignore the laundry stuff and focus on the games and getting all the goals completed for each (or most) machines it's really great. Well thought out trophy list that probably enhances what you get from the game and mostly quite easily achievable.
Also loved the fact that one of the games has a set of playable arcade machines inside it.

@sorteddan Great stuff, you managed to earn your bus fare home.
That game is on my radar, being an old git some of the arcade machines appeal to me (I must also buy the Atari 50 at some point). Having said that, picking up litter and washing smalls doesn't sound too great.
@sorteddan congrats buddy… and cheers for the info on hours played etc as there doesn’t seem to be much useful info out there in relation to the plat-journey 👍
Two more to add. 104 was Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, 105 was Sonic Origins. Both on PS5. I played the Plus DLC on the latter, so did all the games as Amy. Haven't been able to earn any more yet...though I've wanted to.
My biggest problem was trying to find all the collectibles as there was no way of knowing which ones you had so you essentially had to use a guide to go through pretty much every area again with a guide to find them all. Horrendous!
A wonderful little game though, even if it gets a little twee at times.
@CaptD
Slight spoiler warning: at some point after the first week I wondered what would happen if I stopped doing the laundering etc. It turned out nothing, you are free to ignore it as you wish and focus on the games. However if you don't clean up and do the maintenance stuff then the popularity rating drops so you make less money.
I also picked up the Atari 50 thing couple of weeks back when I saw how cheap pre-owned ones were in CEX.
@colonelkilgore
Happy to be of service. Did raise a smile when I looked at the 'friends who play this' bit on the PS5 home screen and you were the only one there!
@MidnightDragonDX
Congrats on your recent double. How was Puyo Puyo Tetris to do? I've always been curious when I've seen them on sale as I've enjoyed each franchise separately but curious as to how they combine together.
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
@sorteddan It’s fun. The Puyo Puyo requirements aren’t too difficult thankfully. A couple online trophies, but it’s dead enough you’ll have no trouble matching with a friend. PS4 and PS5 can play each other online. I used my PS5 while my friend used his PS4.
Right now, Astro is the only strict PS5 plat I’ve earned.
#181 Sagebrush (PS4)
Walking sim type experience with notes to read, audio tapes to collect and simple puzzling to open up the next building etc. Fairly sombre grim story about a suicide cult. Took less than a couple of hours - could probably do it all in 30mins or so using a guide. Cost me about 50p in a sale sometime in the past.
Interesting change of pace.

@Bentleyma congrats dude. Only really heard negativity about this since it released, so it’s refreshing to hear a bit of positivity. How many hours did the plat take out of interest?
@colonelkilgore Hard to say exactly. I had to start over once I got 3/4 of the way through the game because of a bug that made it impossible for me to progress. I’d say that it probably takes about 5 hours to plat. Even less with a guide.
Platinum #47 is Final Fantasy XVI
Let me just say the difficulty of Final Fantasy Mode (the “hard” mode unlocked after regular playthrough) started with level 49 (regular mode caps at 50) and best gear from normal mode (which doesn’t matter that much, as you get better gear very soon) is what I wish the regular mode was, while the regular difficulty should be called “easy”.
Total play time clocked at about 100h.
@Voltan congrats dude, currently around halfway through my Final Fantasy Mode run and the difficulty has noticeably began to ramp up during the last couple of missions… and as you’ve alluded to, it plays even better as a result.
@CaptD To be fair, some of the fights in hard mode are quite challenging and mastering the precision dodge will be crucial but I do believe getting 100% on regular playthrough should be enough practice.
Also, you can still use the assist accessories in hard mode if you need to (I didn't).
