Platinum #119 - What Remains of Edith Finch - overrated imho. I played Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture earlier this year… and personally, this was nowhere near that.
Platinum #120 - Arrog - weird.
… and that’s 2022 done for me. I’ve now time-travelled to 2023 if you catch my drift 😉
This afternoon I got the platinum for Spyro 3 and I'm a bit gutted that the trilogy is over. I've played them gradually over recent years (Spyro 1 in 2019 and Spyro 2 in 2021) and I've found them thoroughly enjoyable. I might try a trilogy speedrun this time next year, just as an excuse to play them again.
@colonelkilgore I liked Edith Finch a bit more than you did by the sounds of it, but yeah I agree, Rapture is one of my favourite PS4 games. It has stuck with me like nothing else.
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
@Gremio108 congrats on Spyro 3 buddy. In regards to WRoEF, I think it may have come down to my expectations going in. I’d heard such good things about it… and not really heard the same level of positivity for EGttR, that I expected more I guess. It wasn’t terrible by any means.
Finally finished this after a two year break! Games have advanced a lot since this was released, but the seamless world still impresses me. It's a shame we'll probably never see a remake.
@Gremio108 Really well done and I absolutely agree. Something bittersweet about capping off the trilogy. I think for me it was because it was a nostalgia trip and they were such good games.

Still got Edith Finch on my to do list but I've heard nothing but good things. I did find Rapture hard work in some respects though as far as walking sims go. The best I've played imo was Gone Home. Not too long and the voice acting is really immersive. Had a lump in my throat on some parts.

@The_Moose I’m sure that you’ll enjoy it mate. I think that they just ain’t my kinda thing… maybe i was just in a rare frame of mind when I played Rapture and it clicked for me or something. I’ll take a look at Gone Home just in case I renter that rare state… where I fancy some orienteering 😉
@colonelkilgore Whoah, there Cowboy! What Remains of Edith Finch is a fantastic cultural and dramatic achievement! Man, the story, the twists, the varied gameplay takes on the Walking Sim genre… Ah well, we can’t all like the same things. 😜
But seriously, the game was probably never going to completely fit for you because even though I do think the gameplay is about as good as a walking sim can be, it’s still not gameplay like God of War. At least the game’s runtime is not very long.
But blimey, the cannery is one of my favorite gaming moments of all time. 😄
And I did like Everybody’s Gone.. but it was a little dull in the middle.
Congrats @Bentleyma, always a satisfying feeling to square off a plat after a few years of it being incomplete on the trophy list 👍.
@Th3solution yeah I think it’s definitely more of a me-problem than the game itself being bad… and I can see why it would appeal to some people I guess. It just didn’t tug on my heart strings at all for some reason… maybe I’ve Scrooged-out a little early this year 😅
@Gremio108 I really enjoyed revisiting the Spyro trilogy too. The no-hit kill on that frog boss in Spyro 2 was bloody difficult though!
The series was well done in that it mixed loads of new stuff in with each game without feeling like is was forced in, whereas a lot of the new/superfluous stuff in Crash 2 and 3 didn’t work so well for me.
@colonelkilgore I preferred Edith Finch to Rapture too. The latter was just a bit empty (I know that’s part of the game) but it felt like a real trudge getting around and the save system was appalling so you could easily lose loads of gameplay. Finch was a really tight narrative and such excellent storytelling.
Not the most difficult platinum in the world (and a rather generous one with five golds, compared to the single one in @RogerRoger ‘s recent exploits) but they all count!
@Thrillho yeah we all have our individual tastes etc… and moods at the time of playing too, which I think can have an impact. Anyway, congrats on the Sonic Origins plat.
@Thrillho@Bentleyma@Gremio108
great to see all the pre-festive platinum popping going on with my Pushsquare peeps... Though I am starting to feel a little left behind, gonna have to step it up I guess.
and a partial well done to @colonelkilgore - but for not being entirely positive about Edith Finch I think you should have to send that one back. How dare you from your own opinion which differs from the majority - you bloody hetetic!

@colonelkilgore Oh, it’s all good, bud. 👊🏼
I agree in the sense that WRoEF didn’t really pull at my heart strings in the manner of feeling sadness or empathy for the tragic family, necessarily . It’s almost more comedic in a dark sort of way with the family’s bad luck, and I’m not sure it’s supposed to be sad, per se, although definitely some of the deaths are disturbing like the little girl who eats the poison and the unattended baby who drowns in the tub. I liked how they handled the reveal at the end about Edith too.
