It does appear some of these trophies could be broken but I think this will make a great relaxing game for the Christmas period so I'm going to dive in and see what happens. Not the £199 version mind.
A nice read @Quintumply and as a trophy hunter this is a great new addition to Push Square.
My taste for that delicious dopamine hit each time that pong (is that the right name?) sounds started with the platinum for The Order: 1886.
Just like you I wasn't actually going for it, I was just enjoying the game as much as I could, but after seeing that I had completely 100% finished a game it made me want to do it again.
Hermen will be happy too because it has made me buy more games over the years, going from a couple a year to averaging one a week.
I dread to think how much I've spent since that first taste.
I enjoyed Tsushima but Yotei is so boring to play. Also most scenes are unskippable and when you play with no sound you can't understand what to do in a lot of situations.
Swapping between two huge grinds: Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots (Top Tip - turn all audio down to zero) and Borderlands 4, which after two main missions I wish was over already.
I've been very tempted to pick up a PS Portal purely for this game but I'm worried about the lag difference affecting my swings going back and forth between the Portal and the PS5. It was made for a handheld for sure though.
@Realist fair point, I was just reading the lower scoring ones by the look of it and online commentary. It's great its at 75 and only another day to go to see for ourselves.
It is at least more Everybody's Golf and that's what we wanted.
Shame it's not reviewing well but it was always going to be a day one purchase and I'm sure I'll enjoy it anyway.
@Midnyte-Monkey oh, that's strange to hear I thought it was well regarded. We don't get a lot of British worlds to explore so it's just been one I've always wanted to try.
I went with a 5/10.
It was the repetitiousness of following an NPC then some covered shooting and then "oh another knife fight when I clearly have a gun and can shoot this guy in the face" that made it feel like I was playing by numbers.
@MidnightDragonDX I did start after the last promised fix didn't work and after half an hour I was done in and decided to wait it out. Glad I did.
You didn't do it over again did you?
@DETfaninATL I've tried that one too yeah, like you say more useful for sales rather than planning your month/year. By the way Detroit Lions fan in the UK here
There really needs to be a decent reliable wishlist site. I've tried releases.com which was great for a while but now constantly breaks. Anyone know a decent one?
We've got the shutters all closed to keep out the heat so it's nice and dark, perfect for Death Stranding 2.
Feels even better when it's raining in-game.
As someone who skips every cutscene and never pays attention to stories I'm quite lucky I can watch anything beforehand and also won't spoil anything for anyone.
The motion blur and muddy textures is giving me eyeache and a headache after just an hour. Too much automation too so far, why can't I drive these trucks to their destinations? It's just not Snowrunner sadly, all we want is more Snowrunner.
@Nekomichu @DualWielding yeah sorry I wasn't super-clear there. I spend every diamond I get on buying energy to obtain either blings or eurekas. Basically that's all I have spent 100s of thousands of diamonds on. And now they reduce the grind.
By my estimates I am pretty close to 100 iridescents and I'm at level 85 at 227 hours.
Looking forward to the update but a touch miffed at the reduction in the platinum grind purely because I've spent every day since launch squandering diamonds for iridescent eurekas when I could've been spending them on nice outfits.

Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (November 2025)
It has to be STALKER 2. See past a few bugs and you might find one of the most atmposheric games of the year.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 609
It's buggy as all hell but the atmosphere and world of STALKER 2 is brilliant.
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 (PS5) - The Most Absurd Game in Series History
I would never guess from those screenshots that it was a COD game.
Re: Poll: Is Ghost of Yotei Better Than Ghost of Tsushima?
I enjoyed Tsushima but Yotei is so boring to play.
Also most scenes are unskippable and when you play with no sound you can't understand what to do in a lot of situations.
Re: Review in Progress: Wreckreation (PS5) - Single Player Feels Like Budget Burnout Paradise
I'm going to clearly buy it day one as it has cars in it but I'm not holding out much hope.
Re: Mini Review: PowerWash Simulator 2 (PS5) - A Bigger, Better, Squeaky Clean Sequel
Very very much looking forward to another 100+ hours in this one.
Re: Demon's Souls PS5 Patched to Take Advantage of Power Saving Feature
Meanwhile I leave my PS5 on for 75 hours with a truck doing circles for a single trophy.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 600
Finally getting to the 100% of Borderlands 4 after over 130 hours and boy oh boy is that world boring.
Re: 'Quit Game and Restart': PS5 Pro Has the Worst Version of Borderlands 4
No matter how many times I've closed and restarted all my weapons thumbnails have disappeared.
Re: PS5's New Power Saver Feature Confirms Its First Supported Games
Can I have a super-power mode that uses more leccy?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 598
Swapping between two huge grinds:
Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots (Top Tip - turn all audio down to zero) and
Borderlands 4, which after two main missions I wish was over already.
Re: Classic Sony Series Everybody's Golf Sells Best on Switch in Japan
I've been very tempted to pick up a PS Portal purely for this game but I'm worried about the lag difference affecting my swings going back and forth between the Portal and the PS5.
It was made for a handheld for sure though.
Re: Borderlands 4 Shift Codes to Redeem Now (September 2025)
Fantastic, thanks @LiamCroft
Re: Dead Island 3 Teased as Dead Island 2 Passes 20 Million Players
Played DI2 twice over for both PS4 and PS5 100% and enjoyed them both immensely so would be over the moon at the prospect of a DI3.
Re: Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots (PS5) - First Non-Clap Hanz Entry Is a Subpar Effort
@Realist fair point, I was just reading the lower scoring ones by the look of it and online commentary. It's great its at 75 and only another day to go to see for ourselves.
Re: Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots (PS5) - First Non-Clap Hanz Entry Is a Subpar Effort
It is at least more Everybody's Golf and that's what we wanted.

Re: Cronos: The New Dawn (PS5) - Captivating, Twisted, and Wickedly Entertaining
@BeyondKnight I've seen 15 hours mentioned on PSNP as there is multiple playthroughs required. Bleurgh
Re: Rumour: To Avoid Even More PS5 Price Increases, Digital Edition to Get Reduced SSD Space
Cheapening the product is a slippery slope.
What's next? Cheaper graphics chips? Less ports? No controller?
It won't end with just one cheapening.
Re: Atomfall Gets Another Story Expansion Pack with The Red Strain, Out in September
I loved this game so more is very welcome.
Re: Forza Horizon 6 Setting Seemingly Leaked Well Ahead of Reveal
@Rocky1972 still one of my favourite driving games.
Re: Forza Horizon 6 Setting Seemingly Leaked Well Ahead of Reveal
@Midnyte-Monkey oh, that's strange to hear I thought it was well regarded. We don't get a lot of British worlds to explore so it's just been one I've always wanted to try.
Re: Forza Horizon 6 Setting Seemingly Leaked Well Ahead of Reveal
I'm still gutted we missed out on the British one.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Mafia: The Old Country?
I went with a 5/10.
It was the repetitiousness of following an NPC then some covered shooting and then "oh another knife fight when I clearly have a gun and can shoot this guy in the face" that made it feel like I was playing by numbers.
Re: Rumour: Kingdom Come: Deliverance Coming to PS5 with Native Version
A fantastic immersive game that everyone should play. I've just finished the sequel so would happily jump in again to the first one.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Patch 1.0.7 Out Now on PS5, Adds New Game+, Increases Level Cap, More
@MidnightDragonDX I did start after the last promised fix didn't work and after half an hour I was done in and decided to wait it out. Glad I did.
You didn't do it over again did you?
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for August 2025 Announced
I'm going to play Lies of P for sure.
I've no idea why I haven't played it already, even had to go and check my trophies to see if I had or not.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Patch 1.0.7 Out Now on PS5, Adds New Game+, Increases Level Cap, More
@MidnightDragonDX it popped thankfully. I really don't understand a NG+ in a 100hr RPG. Madness
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Patch 1.0.7 Out Now on PS5, Adds New Game+, Increases Level Cap, More
I'm just hoping it fixes the Limitless trophy (they've promised before and it didn't) so I can pop that platinum and delete.
Re: PS6 Handheld Becomes More Legit with New PS5 Power Save Mode
Interested?
I would crawl over broken glass for one (hyperbole, probably).
Re: Xbox Port Forza Horizon 5 Is the PS5's Best-Selling New Game of 2025
Bring us FH4 and sell 3 million more.
Re: Battlefield 6 Officially Confirmed, Reveal Trailer on Thursday
I wonder if all 100 million players will be watching?

I'm totally immersed in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

Re: Xbox Console Exclusive S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Sneaks onto PS5 This Year, with PS5 Pro Improvements
That video did give me a big smile, definitely day one purchase.
Re: Sony Buffed PS5's Wishlist, But It's Been Broken for Weeks Now
@DETfaninATL I've tried that one too yeah, like you say more useful for sales rather than planning your month/year.
By the way Detroit Lions fan in the UK here
Re: Sony Buffed PS5's Wishlist, But It's Been Broken for Weeks Now
There really needs to be a decent reliable wishlist site.
I've tried releases.com which was great for a while but now constantly breaks.
Anyone know a decent one?

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Update 1.0.6 Out Tomorrow on PS5, Full Patch Notes Revealed
Still no fix for the Limitless trophy then?
Re: Talking Point: Do Early Access Editions Go Too Far for Story Games Like Death Stranding 2?
As someone who skips every cutscene and never pays attention to stories I'm quite lucky I can watch anything beforehand and also won't spoil anything for anyone.
Re: RoadCraft (PS5) - Saber Interactive Avoids All Disasters with Its Best Vehicle Sim to Date
The motion blur and muddy textures is giving me eyeache and a headache after just an hour.
Too much automation too so far, why can't I drive these trucks to their destinations?
It's just not Snowrunner sadly, all we want is more Snowrunner.
Re: Beloved Ex-PlayStation Boss Believes $70, $80 Games Are a Steal
He probably earns/earned at least 100x the average wage so to him that's a pocket change layout.
Yeah I'd be saying that too with bottomless pockets.
Re: Rumour: New PS5 Pro Update Could Give Frame Rates and Resolutions a Massive Boost
Weren't these figures printed on the original PS5 box at launch?
Re: We Didn't Expect a Trailer for Construction Sim RoadCraft to Make Us Feel All Warm and Fuzzy
I want this to be one of my GOTY contenders.
If it's anything like Snowrunner and miles away from their Expeditions disaster then I'm sure it will be.

@DennisReynolds how quickly Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown was forgotten eh?
Re: Free PS5 Platformer Infinity Nikki Adds Online Co-Op in Humongous Update

Re: Free PS5 Platformer Infinity Nikki Adds Online Co-Op in Humongous Update
@DualWielding alas no, you spend the diamonds to get five-star eurekas to have the chance to convert those to iridescent ones.
Re: Free PS5 Platformer Infinity Nikki Adds Online Co-Op in Humongous Update
Looking forward to the update but a touch miffed at the reduction in the platinum grind purely because I've spent every day since launch squandering diamonds for iridescent eurekas when I could've been spending them on nice outfits.
