Resident Evil 7 is unique amongst the series for having a range of DLC – two story based DLC and two Mini game DLC's comprised of several different tasks. The two story DLC – End of Zoe and Not a Hero I should be able to do fine. I'm less sure about the two editions of Banned Footage. Comprising them are: Bedroom, Nightmare, Ethan Must Die, 21, Daughters and Jack's 55th Birthday. Bedroom, 21 and Daughters should be okay, Nightmare and Ethan Must Die are going to be quite the challenge and admittedly I don't know much about J55B. Let's see how it goes! 

On my quest to get 100 Platinums, I ended up doing save transfers for 4 different games to boost my numbers in order to get it before the end of 2024. I now feel like that was a bit naff so on a new account, I'm going to get them again legitimately. These games are all the PS5 versions of: Resident Evil 2 Remake, Resident Evil 3 Remake, Resident Evil 7 and Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Second and Last (The RE2/RE3 article didn’t work out as I didn’t note 2 enough and didn’t actually beat 3) is Resident Evil 7. It is Spooky season, after all.

Welcome to 100% or Bust, a subseries of The Platinum Road for getting the remaining trophies from DLC’s or just games that don’t have Platinums. This is the second entry and we’re covering Infamous 2’s standalone DLC, Festival of Blood, before the 100% becomes unavailable.

Scrolling on my phone, I saw an article on PushSquare about games being delisted in August. I was curious so I clicked. Imagine my face when I saw Infamous 2. I thought it was August 2027! Now with a very short time limit (T-minus 30 days), I’ve dropped all my plans and I’m heading into the world of Infamous before it’s too late.

Hot off the heels of replaying Remake to get the PS5 platinum properly, I figured it was best to strike while the iron was hot and to move onto Rebirth in preparation for Revelation next year. I was going to play in August anyways but seeing what I have to do, I’ll need all the mechanical skill I can get. The remaining trophies are simple, but that’s not to be confused with easy – it's absolutely not going to be.

Welcome to 100% or Bust, a subseries of The Platinum Road for getting the remaining trophies from DLC’s or just games that don’t have Platinums. First up on the list is Resident Evil 2 Remakes’ “The Ghost Survivors”

Resident Evil Requiem is done (until the DLC launches) so it’s time to look back and wrap up some of the older games in the series. We only need to go back one title to Village. Problem is, I only need one trophy so my solution (to get an article out of it) is to also include Shadow of Rose.

After Metro 2033 of course comes the sequel, Metro: Last Light. There’s less finnicky trophies this time around and there’s more content that I’ve not expeirenced before so this should be a fun Platinum journey.

One of the first games I played on my PS4 (I think? Definitely first 5) was Metro 2033. I played for a little bit before dropping it, playing it again in 2022 -7 years afterwards. Now, a full 11 years (10 and 10 months give or take), I’m finally getting the Platinum.

It’s a new year and we’re continuing with our quest for the eventual big 250 and so The Platinum Road continues. I recently read the novelization of Alan Wake and thought why not get back to the game now instead of whenever I had a vague plan for it, so here we go!

Another year of Platinum hunting in the bag, totaling in at 30 earned in 2025, 164 total. It's a little less than 2024’s 34 but what can you do - it's still not a bad effort at all.

This isn’t going back to a game for a Platinum in the traditional sense. I played the game originally on PC, now I’m playing it from scratch to Platinum on the PS5. I am your Beast is a fantastic game so going back to play it was a joy to do. The games level based nature means this trophy playthrough is going to be easier than a 100 hour long RPG. Easier should be in quotes since this is going to be a difficult, difficult platinum.

With Elden Ring: Nightreign just around the corner, I figured now was a good time to get the Elden Ring platinum. Only problem is, I already have it… on PS5. £30 later for a PS4 copy and I’m here to see how quickly I can get the platinum trophy.

This is the third of three updates in the 52 in 52 challenge, meaning we have reached the end of the challenge I set myself at the start of 2024.

The other evening I was looking over my notes for 52 in 52 and my estimated projection for where it might end. In short, I was going to miss the mark. Now the following two days I was on ‘Late Late shifts’ as they are later than the lates. These shifts are 12:30-21:00 and by the time I get home and eat it’s around 10. Doesn’t give much time to play but I try to fit some short sessions of longer games or short games. I was doing extra time in the morning on one of these days so I knew I would be extra tired. Looking through my potential options, I stumbled upon A Light in the Darkness in my PS Library (Both literally and figuratively). It was a game I saw on the store that was free, and had a platinum upon research otherwise I might not have bothered.

This is the second checkpoint of 52 in 52, coming in at the end of Week 35. The next and final part will of course be at the end of Week 52.

At the start of April, I found myself playing a fair few puzzle games. Not by design, it just kind of happened that way. It also happens that each of these games were different kind of puzzles. The main takeaway I got from these experiences is that puzzle games are weird, and must be incredibly difficult to make.
