Over the PlayStation 4 generation, it really feels like Sony's first-party studios have mastered the art of a Trophy list. They need to be comprehensive, but also fairly realistic to provide you with enough incentive to go for the Platinum Trophy. We were hoping this would extend to third-party studios, but it doesn't look like Counterplay Games got the memo. The Godfall Trophy list defines tedium.
It starts off okay with trinkets for defeating certain bosses, but then quickly gives way to some pretty uninspired Trophies. You'll need to defeat 2000 enemies, kill 200 enemies of multiple types, inflict status ailments 100 times of various sorts, and do the same for different weapon techniques. How many Polearm weapon techniques must you perform? 100. How many for Longswords? You got it: 100. It doesn't make for particularly great reading and doesn't exactly inspire us to try and unlock the Platinum Trophy. You can check out the full list on Exophase.
Are you going to put yourself through the task of unlocking all these Trophies? Let us know in the comments below.

In before someone says this is reflective of the whole game.
@LiamCroft
This game keeps burying itself beyond believe somebody break their shovel
Its reflective of t......... God dammit @LiamCroft
The list might look boring, but it also looks doable. 2000 kills is not that bad for a game like this. I'm fine with it.
To be 100% honest... It doesn't look that bad, sure some of those numbers seem high for the 'do X of Y' trophies, but most of them should come organically as you go through the game... The only one that might be hard is the 'get to lvl50 of the Grindy Tower'
It actually looks quite soothing.
@carlos82 @nessisonett
Really doesn't look that bad at all. Boring sure, but nothing outlandish. Basically use every type of weapon/skill/magic etc for a little bit. From the footage enemies are usually in packs of 3 or 4 so shouldn't take that long even if there's a weapon you're not too fond of. Looks doable to me
Sounds like a great test for the new trophy progress system.....I was tempted to buy it but I read somewhere that supposedly this tedium is reflective of the whole game.
Picking up PS5
Best Buy Salesman: โGodfall?โ
Me: โGodnoโ
I hope this game is decent. Would I play it? God no. But I want it to be a decent enough game that it lasts a while - I enjoy the memes too much for it to disappear quickly.
Oh god, no. This comment is reflective of the whole comments section.
Really? Looks pretty straightforward for a hack and slasher / looter. Especially with the endless mode, post game. 100 weapon techniques might be doable in a couple of runs depending on how the system works?
That's too bad, I enjoy getting platinum for sony games like god of war, spider-man, and soon ghost of tsushima.
Hi when can we expect a review of this game?
"Are you going to put yourself through the task of unlocking all these Trophies?"
No because the game has no home in my house ๐
@wiiware just got my GOW plat 10 mins ago ๐
@carlos82 @nessisonett @LiamCroft ๐ beat me to it. Try as i might, i just can't get excited about this game
Hi there fellow gamers. To be perfectely honest, it does seems to be a pretty straightforward trophy list for these type of game.
I reckon you will get most of them by just playing and messing around with the games weapons and armour(Iยดm sorry, I mean Valorplates).
And since the game has fewer weapons than Ni-Oh 2(for now, at least), it shouldnยดt be to difficult to get them.
Then again, these games are made for you to keep playing them for a LOT of time. Weยดll see how the game grows.
But Iยดm quite curious with the game. Hope it plays as good as it looks.
Cheers, stay safe out there folks and happy gaming to us all
Doesn't seem too bad, its trophies tied to certain difficulties and online ones that worry me, grinding kills isn't a problem.
Very Grindy and needy who really has time for all this tedium ๐๐
Sounds like they are incentivising us to try new weapon types and attack strategies. Nothing wrong with that. Should be alongside beating certain bosses without being hit and such though, real challenges in other words.
@Total_Weirdo Not any time soon.
Godfall looks pretty cool..
But for $70 not that cool.
Try to sell it to me in a couple months when price drops.
This game gets more and more interesting. Everyone is wanting to play this...
This game is odd. It acts like the really annoying person nobody knows who bursts into a room expecting everyone to respect and pay them attention without showing that is posseses any minerals.
It's got to the point where I don't want to like it even if it is any good. Not a great impression to make for a new IP.
It's not really that bad for this type of game, other games like Gears of War 5 have achievements like "Nothin but bits" Kill 100,000 enemies in Versus. PS3 Resistance had trophies like these too.
List isn't too bad for the genre, I'll probably pick the game up.
This game is a 6 months timed exclusive, is that enough time to grind out the platinum ๐ Warframe is free to play and that's getting a next gen console update ๐ let me see ๐
For quantity trophies, it depends on how close I get naturally through gameplay.
Godfall is Latin for 'wait for review'
This looks grindy, but thats not bad. But game itself... goodfall
BTW
What are the worst trophies? What kind of trophy you hate most or just skip trophy hunt because of them?
my top 5 is:
5. Achieve in first walkthru
4. Complete game in * hours
3. Complete task in * minutes
2. Online or coop
1. Finish game on highest / all difficulties
Its almost as if the person who wrote this isn't a gamer at all. Most of those trophies I'm sure you will get without even knowing it.
@LiamCroft A mirror, when placed before the game, reveals as an indicator...never mind. ๐
Meh. I've platted a few games with similar requirements. Its only tedious when you're counting and keeping track heavily. Kill 2000 enemies. Perform 200 techniques. After your first playthru you probably already killed over half of that and only have to do a technique 30 more times or less. If you want tedium try platting a yakuza game. Or maybe bloodstained. There are much worse trophies out there lol
@djlard you've pretty much listed them all for me. Dmc5 was stressful. I had to redo so many hell and hell missions. I don't even get the purpose for speed run trophies. I hate games like Yakuza that require you to suffer thru all the stupid mini games and whatnot, but to this day metal gear rising is still the worst set of trophies I've seen for a game. The requirements are absolutely insane. I doubt the devs themselves can do it
@Medic_Alert can I ask why you cancelled? Was it because of the trophy list, or other reasons?
@huyi I can see this sitting comfortably in the libraries of those who play Diablo, Monster Hunter et al. Of which, there are thousands. Iโm personally not a trophy hunter but killing 100 beasties with each weapon sounds pretty easy - especially compared to hunting crowns on MHW, where youโre going anywhere from 10-40 mins per monster. This grind sounds pretty fun to be honest and if you get decent loot while doing it, thatโs even better. Iโm in for Godfall after seeing this.
@Medic_Alert i bought four. And godfall ain't one of them. I have anthem feelings.
It all depends on how long the game is and if the story is well put together if it's long enough tou could easily kill 2,000 enemies also playing coop just to help a friend those kills should count too nothing was wtf
This will be my second Ps5 platinum after Demon's Souls!
I am happy the trophies will be a grind to get, I am sick of games that give you easy trophies and easy platinums!
@Kidfunkadelic83 Valkyrie fight is the most fun battle in the game, I still remember the first time I face her I was like "okay, it seems I'm under leveled to face her, I'll be back after I finish the main story".
And after finishing the main story I was shocked to see that I'm still only chipping away at her health and she's just too powerful
Man gow platinum is fun
@ronb44 metal gear rising is actually fun though, I still play the game even after Platinumed it
Seems absolutely fine to me as well. ***** article creating pointless attention to irrelevant topic. If they were impossible maybe you'd have a point but the fact I can just play the game and unlock them naturally makes it better than most trophy lists out there. Think about that amatuers!!
Speaking of missed memos: why is this game so fiercely criticised? What is wrong with these trophies?
It depends on the game and how engaging the grind is. Grinding can be incredibly fun and addictive if the game is actually good mechanically.
Nioh is a great game with lots of grinding.
Anthem is a horrid game with lots of grinding.
@Jayslow Source? I haven't seen or read anything to suggest that this game will be tedious. Too early for that wouldn't you say?
@Darcy101 was a joke from the sub headline of this article. There aren't reviews or even impressions on the game yet.
I have 40% so far and honestly loving it, Don't know where all the hate is coming from and looking forward to the platinum.
