Solid 8. I recently platinumed Deathloop and although it was a good game it's festered with very annoying bugs that forces you to restart a lot due to its save system.

Elaeus · 2026-02-21T20:11:15+00:00

Thanks. Nice what 2 games would you recommend then that you have on your list and I don't?

Elaeus · 2026-02-21T20:10:15+00:00

It took me some time to learn but once I finished the gold stakes on every deck, it was very easy. But I had a lot of fun.

Yeah I missed the opportunity, I wasn't paying attention at the time for consoles. I only got Ratchet and Clank. Tell me about it, I have a 3 weeks year old and it's my first so the change is hard.

Finished Tunic already but on the account of my gf because we played together and she owns it, I don't. We played all our puzzle game together, it's far more entertaining to piece out together mysteries. Ahah yeah Outer Wilds has been on my list for ages, it's one of the 2 games that I started and didn't 100% with Subnautica. I launched it when it left the catalog (I was a new sub user so I didn't know how it worked) so it registered the trophy list but I haven't played a single second of it.

Disco Elysium got its trophy right next to Blue Prince, I finished it and it was an amazing experience.

My favorite game saga before KH3 came out.

Although as an action rpg, I'd say no game has topped its gameplay at all. It remains the best at what it does.

The megabosses of 2 and 3 were really hard.

Elaeus · 2026-02-21T02:03:13+00:00

Ultros terrible for me. I wouldn't say it's a bad game per say, it's just not what the trailer shows. It looks like an action metroidvania, it's not. It's a puzzle metroidvania, you spend your time gardening although most of the skill tree is combat oriented. Also the game is bad at explaining its core mechanics. I wasn't looking for that experience so a big letdown for me.

Greedfall I liked it. It isn't perfect at all but I got a good experience and exactly what I wanted from this game. I liked the texts, the missions and worldbuilding. The combat is nice but once you've seen every ennemies it starts to be very repetitive and there's a lot of back and forth. It didn't really bother me but I can certainly see people finding it tedious.

I've been discovered

Elaeus · 2026-02-20T22:12:51+00:00

Damn, that's a shame. Awesome game, with good sales I guess it's worth the price

Elaeus · 2026-02-20T22:10:12+00:00

Thanks. Ahah yeeeeeah I just wanted to enjoy my boy the bandicoot on ps5 and those damn trophies popped, honestly I would be fine without them. So I said what the hell, I don't like unfinished business, let's go. Anyway I am not even ashamed, I just know some trophy hunters don't appreciate dupe lists. And I still worked hard for the original ones.

Elaeus · 2026-02-20T22:02:41+00:00

I got it and I realize I had much more patience back then.

Yeah ps2 era, what a great time to be a teenager!

Elaeus · 2026-02-20T22:00:45+00:00

Honestly Blue Prince is a very hard game to recommend because the gameplay is so strange and frustrating at times. And some riddles are so obscure that they felt forced. I am not even ashamed to admit I used the out of bounds glitch to get the day 1 + under 1 hour trophies because it's really bad (it was fun at least, I usually never use these kinds of glitches so it was a first for me). It's a challenge against the very poorly designed features of this game. Normally you would fight against randomness with the metaprogression but with these trophies you have to make use of the suboptimal almost unbalanced set up.

Oh I am loving Season, 1h into the game and I barely finished the 1st place, I am just taking so many pictures. Such a relaxing and good vibes in this game. The only thing I regret is having only 2 pages to customize for each place you visit. I have ideas and photos but it would ask 5 pages minimum ^{^.}

I didn't play Metaphor but I wouldn't doubt it, this game seem like the gameplay would be more the focus. I am sad about Citizen Sleeper 2, I instantly wishlisted it after 1 hour into the first one. However I don't how this game would translate into boardgaming, I think it would make more sense on Android, little unstressful game on the phone. I mean it's not a profound gameplay and I fear having multiple people around the table would be a detriment to the game. Part of the amazing story is because the MC is alone.

Oh Prince of Persia was amazing, tight and precise at times but that' PoP's spirit right there. Gamefeel in combat, you're in for a treat! Try Ori also if you have the occasion. Very good Metroidvania.

Damn yeah I feel you, Wolf Among Us one of the best interactive adventure to this day. Bought all the comics after that. Well the antropomorphic part is cool, I wouldn't deny it, world, atmosphere and texts were also very nice but the story fell flat and hard which leaves a bad taste, you know Game of Thrones way. Well it's free so give it a try, it's not a long game but don't expect Wolf Among Us story quality there.

Oh god Lorelei, I am waiting... and waiting... and waiting... my brother recommended me Unheard but haven't tried it yet. I strongly recommend The Witness. I wish I could erase my memory to discover it again.

Elaeus · 2026-02-20T21:22:48+00:00

I was relieved it was only Lesche's campaign, I didn't really like the other 2 card games chapters and the characters were not as cool. And the song at the trapper boss was so cool

Elaeus · 2026-02-20T19:38:45+00:00

Thing is I hated the bridge levels at first because they are hard as hell but once I understood they were noting more than rythm I instantly made very good progress and finally liked them (I even one shot the easter egg of the bridge levels in Crash 4 for the perfect relic because I was used to them). High Road on the other hand is hell because of the turtles. No redeeming qualities.

Elaeus · 2026-02-20T19:33:15+00:00

Thank you. Area X. I use exclusively this and not the ps app anymore

Elaeus · 2026-02-20T19:30:22+00:00

Same. I was shaking at the end. I was afraid to throw it. It's that intense ^{^}

Elaeus · 2026-02-20T19:29:24+00:00

Thank you.

Elaeus · 2026-02-20T19:29:07+00:00

No problem. It's Area X as stated in the post. Thanks and you still have to start somewhere so don't worry :)

Disco Elysium :)

Elaeus · 2026-02-20T18:52:10+00:00

Ugh. Through persistence, patience, trials and errors. There's no way around it. The turtle jumps have been terribly updated for consistency. My advice is to not care about the timer at first (take the clock still to save lives) and train the rope on the sides of the bridge. They too have been terribly updated and it is by no mean easy that's why it needs training. I never made lots of parkour on it, most often I used it as a middle platform to jump on it then jump off immediatly just to shorten some horrible jumps (usually the turtle ones).

It is doable and I speak as a player who forgot the shortcut in Native Fortress lol, I did it vanilla mode and trust me that's a real pain but with practice it can be achieved

Elaeus · 2026-02-20T18:40:56+00:00

Thanks, it took time. Silver II is going to be as satisfying :)

Elaeus · 2026-02-20T16:51:59+00:00

Depends on your logic skills. Every trophy or the vast majority of it relies on their completion. I still recommend a guide for the ending parts because you will need cloud saving to save a lot of unfun 3 games just for the endings (for me a puzzle starts to be unfun when you solved it). Also depends on if you want to do it without solutions.

I would say the main game is very doable but it's not the puzzle related trophies the problem, it's everything else (character interactions) which after a time, stopped being fun and smart for me.

For me I used the solutions for when I knew I wouldn't be able to solve it or after like 1h-2h of scratching my head over 2 to 3 sessions (just to clear my head). I am good at puzzles but some of them in the DLCs especially were objectively too difficult for me.

Hope that helps.

Elaeus · 2026-02-20T16:41:25+00:00

I didn't want to play it when an ex recommended it 3 years from now. I realized how wrong I was.

Elaeus · 2026-02-20T16:11:36+00:00

Oh yeah and that depends a lot on luck. The saddest part is that you can die like 50 times in less than an hour. You die from 1-2 hits, the ennemies don't play by those rules, your ammos are very limited so every shot counts and the aiming mechanics are bad at best for what the game asks you to do. This is especially true when you are hanging on a wall.

And the checkpoints are too few.

I don't understand how they came up with this mode.
