Platinum #84: Cannon Dancer Osman. Picked this game up for cheap as it was made by the same dude who worked on OG Strider. Kirin feels surprisingly good to control. Any issues I have mostly come from the value of the package considering normal price.

Platinum #83: Jazzpunk. I completed this on PC years ago. Something short and easy to get through.

I stole this idea: the cast of SamSho 7 if they were to fight the gorilla.

This is definitely not an obsolete list, but I figured this would illustrate my current taste in games. One game per franchise to keep it interesting.

This is one of those games I wish I've played sooner.

Platinum 82: Guilty Gear Strive (PS5 version). Going in, I forgot I only had one Dualsense so I really should've done the PS4 version first. This was the title that introduced me to the series. I do prefer the previous entries, but I still like the game.

Turned the difficulty level to max in the original Strider and somehow managed to make it to stage 3 for the first time.

Platinum 81: MediEvil (PS1 ver on PS4). This is by definition PS1 jank, but I enjoy it. I think it nailed the Tim Burton-ish art direction it went for. If you can get all the chalices, the list is pretty easy.

Platinum #80: Streets of Rage 4. I meant to finish this earlier, but you have to do at least 9 playthroughs and have to continue playing for points. S-Ranks were a bit annoying. Those aside, I enjoyed the game.

Left pic was my first playthrough, on hard. Right was my normal "speedrun" playthrough.

Platinum #79: Strider (2014). Really enjoyed the game. Trophy list wasn't as tough as I was thinking it would be. Beat the game on hard with near 100%, then beat it on normal under 4 hours.

Platinum 77/78: Doom + Doom 2.
Did both PS4/5 versions. Very quick and easy to complete as you only need to complete the last stage of each title/expansion. You have quick saving and cheats as well. I gave Legacy of Rust a full playthrough and that was pretty cool.

Platinum #76: Sega Mega Drive and Genesis Classics. Due to the challenges, this was harder to complete than Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection on PS3 despite most of the list being easier. Not too big this collection's UI and noticeable input delay.

Not hard to complete, but it can get repetitive with all the times you gotta beat arcade and ghosts. Glad to have Samurai Shodown as my 75th platinum.
