What a big surprise this game was, not only because is a gem that honors survival horror classics like Resident Evil, Silent Hill and Alone in the Dark, but also because it was made by a Chilean development studio call Dual Effect Games 😁🇨🇱.
We play as Caroline, who goes to a mysterious mansion to discover the origin of a photograph that was sent to her, but upon arrival she is beaten and wakes up intubated and without an eye.
We will have to explore this terrifying place surviving the attacks of bizarre creatures and solving puzzles, who are the strong point of the game cause they are very well designed.
The trophies require collecting all the pages of some diaries, getting 2 of the 3 endings, finishing the game without saving, finishing it without recovering energy and finishing it in less than 3 hours.
If you love survival horror this is a title that you must play.

Sifu puts us in the shoes of a young man who seeks revenge for the death of his father, the master of a Kung Fu school.
We must go through 5 levels to face the bosses responsible, but every time we die we revive losing years, gaining more strength but losing health. At the same time we will be able to unlock new skills and find collectibles.
The path to platinum consists of defeating all the bosses with a takedown, obtaining the 4 talismans, finding all the evidence of our research wall, using all the concentration attacks at least once, obtaining the true ending, among others.
The combat mechanics are awesome and once you master them the battles can be epic. If you like action games, martial arts movies and a good challenge, this is a must play.

One of the best jrpg i've played in the last time without a doubt.
It features a beautiful world filled with well-designed locations, addictive and dynamic combat, lovable characters, and a story that got me hooked from the start.
The path to the platinum is long and consists of: level up to 100, defeat various special bosses (some of level 99), catch all the fish, find all the owls (collectibles), forge 100 weapons, complete 70 sub quests and watch 300 long conversations, among others.
A game that made me feel what Final Fantasy has not made me feel for years, the only negative point i found (at least in my humble opinion), is that near the end the story lengthens the arrival with the final boss quite a bit. But beyond that if you are a fan of jrpg is a must play.

Days Gone was a polarizing game for me, one of the high points is the combat against the Hordes. They are very well designed and facing one is very adrenalinic... unfortunately the best 3 hordes of the game occur during the story and near the final moments.
The story manages to shine in several moments...but that starts to happen when you get to the third camp several hours after starting. That coupled with poor narrative pacing, clichéd dialogue and characters making very strange decisions, taints what could have been something memorable, not to mention that the story is very long.
I enjoyed Days Gone? Yes, yes I enjoyed it, the combat is very entertaining, the world is well done, today on ps5 it looks excellent, and the good moments are very good. But the negative distracted me from my enjoyment at various times.
And about the platinum, just play and try to do all the missions and explore the map. There is no missable trophy.

Returnal
Difficulty 5/10
My time: around 80 hours
My platinum N°: 152
Returnal is a third-person roguelike where we control Selena, an astronaut who crashes on the planet Atropos, being trapped in a time loop. We will have to explore the planet, obtaining weapons, upgrades and collectibles, but if we lose we will start all over again from the beginning.
The path to the platinum is long and has to do with the collectibles and the fact that the scenarios change every time we start over. Although the collectibles are always in the same rooms, the latter do not always appear.
To obtain the platinum we must: find all the audio files, all the xenoglyhps, obtain 200% integrity, reach level 30 weapon mastery, get 5 parasites at the same time, complete Act 1, 2 and 3, among others.
I really enjoyed Returnal, the battles with enemies and bosses were very entertaining and visually well done, and the story was interesting although a bit confusing at times.

I loved this game! Always wanted that Nintendo implement some kind of achievement system, this is the closer to get a platinum on a Pokemon. The story is one of the high points of the game, is hooking, hilarious and some times very serious. The characters are fun and also the good and bad side of things gets a little blurry with all the things happening in the Nexomon world. It also has a lot of humor and 4th walls breaks and i found myself laughing out loud many times.
The Nexomon: You have dinaosurs, bugs, phantoms, animals and some wierd ones like a lightbulb. The game has 381 creatures (a lot!), and your starter choice are between 9 Nexomons!
Tamers on roads can be challenge more than once (after a couple of minutes) and every time they have more powerful Nexomons or evolve the ones they have giving you a new challenge.
The game is an open world so it was a little overwhelming at the beginnig 'cause every place i went had different Nexomons so i didn't know were to focus.
You have side quests, secret places to discover, you can equip items to your Nexomons to help you gain more coins, exp, or more defense, attack or resistence.
As a platinum is wasn't that hard, but you had to grind specially closer to the end. You must catch all the 381 Nexomons, and some special Nexomons appeard at random, so i spend a lot of time searching for them. You also have to fight every tamer in the game...twice!
For a Pokemon fan is difficult not to compare both games, but at the end i think that's the point. If you never played a Pokemon game you could probably going to have fun with the game, but if you are a Pokemon fan you going to enjoy a lot more of Nexomon. You're going to understand the reference, value the changes, compare creatures designs, laugh with the jokes and would notice all the love the developers (who probably are big Pokemon fans) had put on this game. If you are still reading, i hope this words could help you gave this game a chance, you won't regret it.

I was able to play Alan Wake for the first time on PC several years ago and found it to be a very good game. Using a flashlight and illuminating the enemies to be able to eliminate them was very entertaining and the story caught me despite being left with an half-open ending. The music i like and the songs of Poets of the Fall are really good.
After so many years I finally had the option to replay it and get the platinum trophy.
The game needs to be finished 2 times, the first in easy or normal difficulty and a second in nightmare difficulty (which is unlocked by finishing the above mentioned). Also Alan Wake has many collectibles and some of them appear only in nightmare difficulty. In addition to that you have to eliminate enemies with certain weapons and some challenges that consist of finishing some portion of a level under certain conditions.

FF 16 was an incredible visual spectacle, the beautiful soundtrack will stay in my head for a while, and the design and level of detail of the enemies is just awesome. All this added to the powerful story make FF16 a fantastic rpg.
The way to the platinum is easy, just finish the story and do every sidequest, every hunt, don't sell any materials so you can craft the Gotterdammerung, and after finishing the game, play again on NG+ on FF mode. Equip items that gave you more ability points and exp from the first playthrough.
Despite all the good things I had some problems with the game, I didn't like the sidequests, many of the side characters I found very generic (also in design) and I felt that it lacked more replayability, secrets, and things to do. Maybe I'm getting old and my nostalgia for the older FFs is weighing me down.
Despite the negative points it's a title you have to play.

We put ourselves in the shoes of Otto, a boy who enters the Dodgeball Academy and whose goal is to win the tournament that is about to take place. We will have to form a team for the tournament, go to some classes and face the different challenges that will be presented to us in this crazy academy, from ghosts, robots and rival teams.
The path to platinum is simple, complete all the side quests, get all the accessories, get a platinum medal in all the challenges, among others.
I was pleasantly surprised with this game, the story has a lot of humor, the characters are very charismatic and fun, their designs are very well done and the gameplay is entertaining and sometimes challenging.
Recommended 100% and I hope a sequel comes in the not too distant future.

Finally I was able to platinum Ys VIII and I must say that it was a bit of a suffering experience, and the reason for that is a trophy that asks to finish the game in nightmare difficulty.
Other than that the platinum consists of getting 100% of: items, weapons, accessories and cooking recipes. Discover all the map, open all the chests in the game, finish all the raids and hunts, max all the skills (12 per character), complete the bestiary, among other things.
Beyond the length of going for the platinum, the game is very good, all the mechanics complement each other very well, the characters are lovable although some are very cliché and according to some media is the best Ys out there.
If you like jrpg I recommend it 100%, the Ys games like most Final Fantasy, are unitary stories so you don't need to have played the previous ones to enjoy it.

One of the best games of the year without a doubt. Kratos and Atreus return to face Odin, Thor and countless dangers in the end of the saga of Agsard.
The path to platinum consists of upgrading a set of armor to the max, finding all the artifacts, all the shields, completing the Crucible trials, completing the game and defeating a couple of secret bosses.
I really enjoyed the story and found the ending satisfying. I'm looking forward to seeing what Santa Monica has planned for the future of the franchise.

The last time I played a Tekken was Tekken 3 on psone, I played Tekken 2 as well but 3 is the one I remember the most.
Tekken 7 was included in PSPlus Extra so it seemed like a good opportunity to play this franchise after so many years.
The platinum is easy to obtain, it has only 4 online trophies, win 1 battle in each online mode and participate in 10 battles in total, and the rest consists of finishing the story mode, do 50 thousand damage to the opponent in practice mode, perform 3 combos of 10 hits, get 10 million in money, promote to Warrior category, among others.
It was interesting to return to the franchise after so many years, although I have to admit that it did not captivate me as much as other games of the genre. But despite the latter, I was entertained after several months without playing anything.

Playing as a Jedi or a Sith is something I've always enjoyed, and Jedi Survivor has many improvements compare to the previous game. A better combat, fewer planets than the previous installment, but a very large one to explore, new Force powers, and a pretty emotional story for Cal and his friends that kept me entertained for many hours.
The path to the platinum involves finishing the story, completing the cantina's fish tank, defeating all the bounty hunters, scanning all enemies, completing all battles in the Holotactics mini-game, completing three skill trees, among others.
A great adventure and if you're a Star Wars fan it's 100% a must play.

Spiritfarer is an open world resource management game with beautiful animations. We will be in the role of Stella who, together with her cat Daffodil, must find spirits scattered around the world, try to fulfill their last wishes and help them to go through the door to the afterlife.
We have at our disposal a ship where we can build rooms for the spirits, forges, warehouses, planting grounds, and in turn travel the ocean visiting various islands, collecting resources and fulfilling requests.
The game's trophies consist of: obtaining all the cooking recipes, improving the rooms of some spirits, achieving full happiness at least once for all the spirits, activating all the altars, among others.
An indie that I enjoyed a lot and that in addition to the aforementioned has lovable characters and deals with themes such as death, compassion and acceptance in a masterful and beautiful way.

I have a blast playing it, RE4 Remake captures the escence of the original game and even improve it.
The road to the platinum was quite an odyssey cause you need to get rank S+ on some difficulties but rank S+ can only be obtained starting a New Game, not ln New Game+. So my path was finish and enjoy the game, then a playthrough with only pistol and knive on asist difficulty, then only with rocket launcher with infinte ammo and withouth talk to the merchant on professional, and then S+ on hardcore, and the last one was S+ on standar. I was save from doing Rank S+ on profesional thanks to Mercenary Mode, cause i got the Handcannon on it, and it was quite easy 😅.
An amazing game and another winner for the Resident Evil franchise.
