Tier List: Platinums 1-10

 Since people are ranking their platinums after every ten, I decided to do the same with a tier list.


  1. A Short Hike - B tier. Not a bad game for its length but there are a couple of tricky trophies.
  2. Buff Knight Advanced - B tier. Not really for everyone but a great way to AFK grind for a platinum if you have a turbo controller. Just make sure to turn it off so you can die 100 times. ;)
  3. Celeste - C tier. I only put it so low due to the fact that I had to use Assist Mode. After PICO-8, I'm not really into how tough it is to parkour around spikes. If Assist Mode disabled trophies, I would have never played this game as I can't do the levels legit. I'm not as great as some people.
  4. Daxter (PS5)
  5. Daxter (PS4) - both A tier. Why did I not play this game on the PSP? Oh, because I didn't have the ability to undo mistakes. I don't think I could have gotten the Gandalf Dream to gold rank without the rewind feature. It's gonna be tough doing RetroAchievements on Hardcore Mode where save states and rewind are disabled. Still, these games brought me back to Jak & Daxter.
  6. Spyro the Dragon - B tier. Other than the horrors of Tree Tops, this game is pretty decent.
  7. Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! - C tier. Sadly, nostalgia wasn't there for me as some of the trophies are pure cruelity. I was lucky to get both the Conservationalist 2 trophy without Superflame and I was lucky to get the 15 crystal popcorn before Hunter could get 10 because those popcorn catching challenges can be really really bad. Still, I wasn't fond of getting 100% here.
  8. Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon - A tier. High ranked because you don't have to get 100%. Still not S tier because even though I can avoid the skateboard challenges, THEY EXIST. X(
  9. The Sims 4 - D tier. Sorry, if I can't use motive cheats, I am not going to play you. Since I had to download families to cheese this platinum, it's bottom of the barrel. Also, the game was as laggy A.F. so it lost a ton of respect. :(
  10. Disgaea 5 - S tier. I really enjoy the Disgaea games, and this one is the easiest to platinum. Not saying it's super easy, but I did have a guide.

Platinums 6-10

I keep forgetting to update. Anyways, these five games were all prepped to plat on the beginning of an forum challenge for charity, so here you go.

#6: Spyro the Dragon
#7 Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage
#8 Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon

I platinumed the entire Spyro Reignited Trilogy yet again. I really enjoyed these games when they came out on the original Playstation, polygons and all. I'm just glad that you don't have to 100% Spyro 3 as I really hate the skateboarding challenges. :(

#9: The Sims 4

I really used to enjoy playing The Sims 4 on PC, even had an EA account. Sadly, my computer is too small in memory and my bank account is too hostile to install every expansion pack that has come out since Get to Work, so I had to drop it. (I was also just cheating up needs to keep the Sims working forever, making the challenges too trivial.)

I wouldn't have touched this again if I didn't find out how to import custom families because the guide on PSNP just tells you how to do it naturally and if you played a Sims game, you know how even on turbo speed the game gets really tedious waiting for babies to be born. <_<

#10: Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance

This is the easiest Disgaea to platinum as Green Z-Saber shows off how you can get to the post-game in under four hours using the Overload mechanic. Even so, unlocking the Carnage Dimension and getting to the final boss of the Carnage Dimension to get the trophy for defeating him requires a lot of grind to get your characters strong enough to survive the challenge stages. Even so, it's easier than what I will have to do later, aka Disgaea 4 Complete+. :(
