She’s lovely 🧡

Platinum #31: Honkai: Star Rail. Honestly, I just had like 5 quests I never did that I needed for this, so I figured I'd just do it for the Platinum. This is also the first new Trophy since posting them here, so this is a Real Time Trophy!

Platinum #30: Life is Strange: Double Exposure. Still not quite as good as the first game, but it was an enjoyable experience. Having to replay the entire game without being able to skip dialogue for one trophy was kinda cringe tho.

Hope you have fun!

Platinum #29: Metaphor: ReFantazio. A fantastic twist on the Persona formula, and I hope to see more like it in the future. Only annoying trophy was one that required basically a full NG+ playthrough to get, but it wasn't too awful.

Platinum #28: Astro Bot. Not long after finishing Astro's Playroom, I continued on with Astro Bot. Not an incredibly hard trophy hunt, but some stages were a bit rough. Probably the closest in time any two Platinum Trophies are for me.

Platinum #27: Astro's Playroom. I actually started Astro Bot, only to basically speed-run complete this game first. Shocked i never thought to give this game a shot before.

Platinum #26: Stellar Blade. Truly the sleeper hit of 2024. A world inspired by NieR Automata, with combat inspired by it and Sekiro, with the classic Shift Up marketing strategy of "Tits and Ass Sell". Just the right level of challenge for me, and honestly the fanservice was minimal. Peak Gaming.

Platinum #25: Persona 3 Reload. Finally catching up to this year, with my favorite game to come out this year. Persona 3 Portable was my first experience with the Persona series, and Reload reignited my love for this story. Not a bad trophy list either, on the same level as P5R.

Platinum #24: Marvel's Spider-Man 2. The long awaited sequel to one of my favorite games in recent years. Also had a bit more frustrating trophies than the first game, but i managed. I love Spider-Man.

Platinum #23: Final Fantasy XVI. Probably one of my favorite Final Fantasy experiences. I didn't really know what to expect going into this game, but I found myself pleasantly surprised by how fast I was in it. Some trophies were a little annoying, but nothing a little persistence couldn't handle.

Platinum #22: Scars Above. A very short, fascinating cosmic horror style game. Not much else to say other than I wish I had more time, that the game was longer.

Steam Perfect #3: Octopath Traveler II. In some ways, I wish I played this on PS5 for an actual Platinum, but a game like this was far better for me on the Steam Deck. I poured a lot into this game, and I hope I get to see a third game someday.

Platinum #21: Sonic Frontiers. The first and probably only Sonic Game I'll ever come close to completing, and the first in a while I feel like I got genuine enjoyment from playing. Trophies weren't too difficult, but also weren't all that easy.

Platinum #20: Stray. What a phenomenal little game about a cute little cat. This one was a bit of a challenge in some regards, but I appreciated that there was only one Trophy i truly struggled on.

Platinum #19: Life is Strange: True Colors. Not a particularly difficult task, mostly just playing the game. Not much else to say.

Steam Perfect #2: Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! I avoided this game for a long time when the original came out, due to personal aversion to the content. But when i finally played it through Plus, I fell completely in love with the game, and was genuinely sad to leave it behind afterward.

Platinum #18: Persona 5 Strikers. This one was pretty easy all things considered, but like the last game, there was one trophy that added about 6 hours to the playtime for just grinding. That was not a particularly fun experience.
