@colonelkilgore according to my console I played it for 48 hours but I think I wasted a lot of time. Based on my time I'd be surprised if you couldn't get that down to below 40.
@johncalmc I try not to rush things too much and just ‘live’ in the game a little, at least during the beginning while I acclimate to the game-world. I find I’m normally about 10% over the stated time to plat.
I got the Platinum in Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart. I've got the Platinum Trophy in most Ratchet games, and they're mostly fairly quick and easy, but this one is the quickest and easiest of them all. It's actually almost too quick and easy. You don't even need to play the game a second time on Challenge Mode like normal.
I've grafting through the second (ridiculously difficult) playthrough of Ashen. I'm now at the last boss, which I'll try and beat tonight when I get home from the office. IF I can beat her, this will go down as far and away the toughest Platinum I've earned... and that's saying something as I've plat'd all bar Sekiro and Demon Souls PS5 of From Softs output (they will be plat'd too, just haven't gotten around to it). Outrageously tough in parts!
Plat #48 - Ashen - holy **** what a nightmare that Children of Sissna (Hard) playthrough is! I'm normally a very calm gamer but this pushed me to limits I've never known in gaming... and I've been an irritable bugger as a result.
@Jimmer-jammer if you do end up going for the CoS completion, I'll deffo help you out on the last boss... but the way the co-op works is pretty awful. You have to be at the same point in the game both geographically and narratively (which I've only recently found out). So the only part I'll be able to help out on is the last fight... but that fight is a doozie as you'll recall from your normal playthrough.
@Jimmer-jammer I totally get you... and if I had known quite what a slog that CoS playthrough was going to be, I probably wouldn't have gone for it. But having said that, regardless of the stress I definitely feel a greater sense of satisfaction on doing this than on popping most other plats.
If you do end up going for it, I will be able to help you on Sissna (using my normal difficulty character) as once she is killed the game automatically loads back to just before you fight her, so the offer is there for sure. Just getting to Sissna is an achievement though, the Palace of Lathyrus in CoS very nearly broke me.
If anyone is interested, myself and some friends are looking to boost the Doom (2016) trophies some time next week as the servers are so dead that it seems impossible to get a match any more.
Hellblade Senuas Sacrifice now finished for platinum #82.
Quite enjoyable journey, decent graphics and interesting story touching on the protagonists mental health issues. Puzzles are simple enough but occasionally required some exploration. I do feel this game was let down by its repetitive and sometimes not especially responsive combat.
Worth a look if it has been on your radar though.
On the trophies: all except one are gained by finishing the story, that one is for collectables (lorestones) and I finished about 5 short. As areas are not accessible once you have left them this meant I had to do a second entire play through using a guide. I wish it had had a chapter select to save a bit of time.

@Sorteddan well done dude, I should get there around 16:45 on the 16th of May, 2023 😉 (82 plats… though I jest of course) … sounds like I’ll probably have to do two playthroughs when I get to Hellblade too then, I hardly ever manage to find all the collectibles as I play it through first time.
@RogerRoger@colonelkilgore
Thanks guys but you know how it goes... the last platinum is never as good as the next one!
And yes it is a bit mean spirited, unless you want to spoil the first run by using a guide - but fairly quick to run through again on easy once you know all puzzle solutions.
Congrats to you to Rog on completing your Shenmue odyssey - not sure I could've managed that.
And Colonel, I have seen instances of your rota scheduling and planning before but jeez!

Platinum #51 - A Plague Tale: Innocence - I don’t play a great deal of indies and that’s my bad… gonna make a point of cycling at least a few in per year, having enjoyed this game so much.
If anyone is gonna try and platinum this though, the crafting trophies can be a pain if you don’t craft everything within your first playthrough. There is a Chapter select post game, which helps with collectibles… not a massive help with crafting materials though as I found out to my detriment.
@colonelkilgore congrats! That sucks about the crafting. I wonder if it’s even possible to craft it all in the first run. Any advice other than just try to search out every scrap of leather? I’m about to boot up the PS5 version
@Th3solution cheers sol... it's definitely possible, I just went a bit 'Luminosa-happy' during the middle section of the game and was struggling for leather by the end as a result. I still got within one leather of doing it though, so just search every possible alcove and alley and you should be fine. Also, you don't have to level-up the alchemy for the crafting trophies, so just concentrate on your sling and 'equipment'.
