I forgot to update this, so here are my next four platinums:
Platinum #2: Buff Knight Advanced
A game you can turn most of your brain off on. This is a runner-type game where you move left to right while enemies stand in your way. Enemies only hurt you by touching you, so if you can kill them first, you are pretty safe. I did a few rounds as the Knight to get the three combo master trophies, then used the Sorceress for the rest of the trophies as her fireballs hit enemies off-screen.
It took me 4 days and 15 hours to get this platinum as I took a lot of breaks. This title requires a LOT of grinding to get some of the trophies. Getting 200 artifacts to get all artifacts to Level 10 and ten billion coins is pretty tedious as you have to replay a lot of levels. That's why I took breaks.
But the music and graphics are neat eight-bit renditions.
Platinum #3: Celeste
Yes, I admit it. I kept using the assist mode and a guide to help me get all the collectibles. There is no way in The Pits of Lunar Heck that I was going to do this legit as I hate spike rooms. :(
I did have to do the 8-bit classic Celeste, PICO-8, raw, but the rooms there are much smaller and easier to deal with. All in all, a nice game, though I am glad that Chapter 9: Farewell wasn't a DLC pack. No hate against DLCs but I would have felt dirty having to get trophies for that chapter as well.
Platinums #4 & #5: Daxter
I did the PS5 and PS4 versions of this new emulated PSP port of the Ottsel's Adventures in bug-killing in that order. Cutscenes were hot trash but then, so were the cutscenes in the Vita version of LEGO Batman 2, as they were ripped from the PS3 version. No, this is not foreshadowing... <_<
The gameplay sections were remade and really great. Even the dream sequences(and I recognized the dojo master in the second Matrix dream sequence - it's the Yakow herder in the original J&D, floppy hat and all! Lolz!) and I managed to gold medal both the Agent Gol fight in the PS5 version and the Bugbox Balrog fight in the PS4 version. (Protip: NEVER gold rank the dojo or Balrog fights, the fact that you have to button press in between sequences 20 times is MURDER. If it wasn't for rewind and save states, this would have been a pass for me.)
