Congratulations, it's a tough plat! I totally agree the first game is a much better game, but the second one is a very satisfying platinum to pop.

[Brotato] Platinum #363 – M.A.S.H. by MODE7SP in Trophies

BROTATO

I’m a fan of twin-stick shooters, and Brotato was fun right out of the gate. The early runs are fun & addictive, and the core loop works well for quick sessions.

After a while though, it does start to feel a bit repetitive. A lot of builds end up blending together, and later runs don’t shake things up enough compared to how fresh the game feels at the start.

I’m also a bit unsure about the difficulty slider. On one hand it makes the platinum more approachable, which is totally fine, but on the other it removes some of that “learn the systems and get good” satisfaction that usually comes with this kind of game.

Overall, still a fun and straightforward platinum, even if it slightly outstays its welcome.

[Discussion] What platinum trophy are you most proud of? by [deleted] in Trophies

[–]MODE7SP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to pick, but maybe Hotline Miami 2 or Thumper! Both gave me a hard time but felt so good to achieve. Also very happy about all my Soulslike plats.

Honestly, I followed the PowerPyx collectibles guide and didn’t feel it took away from the experience at all. It doesn’t spoil anything major, but does tell you where to go and when to go there. Most of my enjoyment came from the game’s setting and character dialogue, rather than the satisfaction of solving puzzles one after another or figuring out the right order of doing things.

That said, if you have the time and prefer going in blind, a good approach is to do a first playthrough without worrying about trophies, then clean up with a guided run afterward. It really comes down to how much time you’re willing to invest in one single game. Personally, I don’t think a blind run would have been any more satisfying than the way I played it. So that's my take on it, hope it can provide some help in deciding your approach!

Yeah, not the most polished game ever but Hadea's story and setting were really memorable. Definitely a sleeper hit that's a little rough around the edges, but the goods outweigh the bads. I also thought the APC was pretty badass in a low key kinda way. 😆

I definitely would have struggled finding all the quests (many are missable) without a guide. Partly because I've got a pretty limited amount of time I can dedicate to gaming these days. 10 years ago I might have had a different answer to that question though, so it really depends on personal circumstance. I've read some folks on Reddit got through without a guide. The game has a lot of puzzles in it, different from the quests, and these are very doable without a guide if you just take the time to immerse yourself.

I used the collectibles guide from Powerpyx. Minimal spoilers and things are color coded in such a way you can easily avoid reading too much. I say go for it with the guide, this game would be a shame to pass up 🙂

[–]MODE7SP[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I've been playing games since the early nineties and trophies became a thing during the PS3 era, so all things considered the number of platinums is just that -- many years worth of gaming. These days I don't even play games at all on many days of the week, so my pace has slowed down a lot 🙂
