Feature Going Platinum #8: Donut County
The hole experience
Platinum Trophy #8: Donut County Date Earned: 26th August 2018 Dopamine Index: stars:3 Donut County is a game I reviewed here on Push Square, and I was happy to do it. It's perfectly in my wheelhouse; it's a short indie game with a novel premise and a decidedly unserious tone. You can keep your big blockbusters and samey...
Feature Going Platinum #7: Burnout Paradise Remastered
Take me home
Platinum Trophy #7: Burnout Paradise Remastered Date Earned: 2nd April 2018 Dopamine Index: stars:5 Burnout Paradise launched all the way back in 2008, and it remains my favourite open world racing game to this day. Anyone who knows me will be familiar with my love for this series, and while I prefer the stage-based approach of the...
Feature Going Platinum #6: Everything
Everywhere, all at once
Platinum Trophy #6: Everything Date Earned: 24th December 2017 Dopamine Index: stars:3 You read that right, I have the platinum Trophy in Everything — mission accomplished! Just a little joke there, at the top. But yes, I do have the plat for Everything, the game, not everything, the everything. The funny thing about...
Feature Going Platinum #5: The Sexy Brutale
No masking it
Platinum Trophy #5: The Sexy Brutale Date Earned: 2nd December 2017 Dopamine Index: stars:4 While knowing every game that comes out is a feat growing less and less achievable by the day, I like to think I have a higher-than-average level of awareness. I've never been formally diagnosed with autism, but I'm fairly sure I'm somewhere...
Feature Going Platinum #4: Undertale
Temmie about it
Platinum Trophy #4: Undertale Date Earned: 19th August 2017 Dopamine Index: stars:4 For someone as deeply entrenched in the video game space as I am, it was very difficult to escape Undertale for a while. The massively successful indie RPG was a phenomenon back when it launched on PC in 2015, with players falling head over heels...
Feature Going Platinum #3: Tales from the Borderlands
Tale as old as time
Platinum Trophy #3: Tales from the Borderlands Date Earned: 9th May 2017 Dopamine Index: stars:2 The Borderlands series is one I've dipped my toe into a couple of times, but I just don't get on with it. It isn't even really the style of humour that puts me off, which I know is a hurdle for some. I like the cel-shaded art...
Feature Going Platinum #2: The Witness
You should've seen it
Platinum Trophy #2: The Witness Date Earned: 21st February 2016 Dopamine Index: stars:4 Something I've only just thought of: I never earned a single platinum Trophy before I started writing for Push Square. It was only after I became involved with this website that my interest in Trophies started to really take hold. Fun...
Feature Going Platinum #1: Rocket League
Nice shot!
Hello. My name is Stephen Tailby, and I’m fine, thanks. Welcome to a new feature on Push Square, in which I recount every game I’ve platinumed. It's a verb now, alright? "You gonna platinum Balatro, mate?*" It's a verb, and it's all good. We need to make peace with this now, because it's gonna make things easier in the long run...
