If I do another video like this what should I do? Best Easy Games To Platinum? Worst Games to Platinum?

Crypt of the NecroDancer is so difficult that I'm at 40 out of 42 trophies and I still think the platinum is impossible.

Good vid, some gems here. Surprised that PS3 is a little underrepresented on this list - Gran Turismo 5, Max Payne 3, Metal Gear Rising, Super Street Fighter 4 (though you already have 5), Guitar Hero Smash Hits, as well as Catherine being substantially harder on PS3 than in the Full Body remake just to name a few. Guess a lot of those are technically unobtainable now. Still - PS3 was a brutal era for trophy hunters!

The clips you chose from my content had me rolling 😂 great video dood, thanks for including me.

So who's gonna be the GigaKen and get all 25 of these first? 🤔

Great list, but I was surprised I Am Bread didn't make the cut. I've heard nothing but nightmares about getting the platinum in that game.

I did the platinum for MGS2 (PS3) and those VR Missions is the stuff straight from hell.

Many people will say the most anger inducing games are either PvP games or souls like games but I feel for you on the Cuphead thing, I haven’t played that game but when it comes to platformers I don’t know what it is, but I become consumed with rage whenever I get stuck on one of these games 😂 I’ve refrained from smashing controllers but I’ve been close a few times.

Suregon Simulator honestly made me stop platinuming games all together. Genuinely felt like it drained all the drive I had to platinum games

Amazing video as always Lewis I'm looking forward to seeing more of your amazing content in the future

Great list buddy! I've only got a couple of these platinums but I wouldn't do them again!! I vote for Worst platinum trophies for the next list ;)

Splasher is easily my hardest platinum, very deserving of the spot on this list

I really like these longer video formats. Keep em coming! 👏🏼

Finally Catherine getting some recognition it deserves. One of my fav games on PS3, done it nearly 3 times, only have the grind left on two stacks.

Thank you for this. Got a new list of 25 games I’m going to attempt (I’m going to fail)

I constantly click into your vids thinking you’re going to be at 100k+ subs now. Keep up the stellar work, brother.

Proud owner of bloodborne, DMC5, and street fighter 5! Def out of the 3 i've done the hardest was DMC5, I really do need to buy the bloodborne dlc and go back for the dlc trophies just because of how much i enjoyed the game really.

Great video! My hardest Plats may be: Final Fantasy 7 Remake - Managing MP with some of the Boss Fights makes this game pretty difficult for me. Kingdom Hearts 2 - The Lingering Will is one of the hardest secret bosses in my opinion. Pretty grindy for synthesis. The Witcher 3 - The first 10 levels can be pretty challenging until you gain more skills. Uncharted 4 - There are some chapters I spent hours trying to beat on Crushing. I don't think I have any other really difficult Plats.

Mgs2 was my first platinum. I still find it shocking to find it on hardest platinum lists

Bloodborne and stellar blade was the quickest and less boring platinium i've made and the worst one i did was persona 5... omg i still have nightmare to this day

Thumbnail was an instant like, Patrick Bateman 😆 Just watching now, but wanted to wish you and yours a very merry Christmas Lewis, thanks for all the entertainment this year!

Another banging video. Have a lovely Christmas ❤️

I think Outlast 2 does deserves a place on your list but altogether that's a decent list.

Great video, I've got Splasher and Jump King on my list. I just got Super Meat Boy Forever and I think it's twice as hard as the original Super Meat Boy!

Surgeon SImulator mentioned mmmf surprised i had quite a handful of these games plats. Surgeon is EZ clap with the guide though I made though 😉 Another fun watch mate keep em' coming! 🏆🏆

I've got MGS2 and Cuphead... yeah, those are quite hard... I have a friend who has five of these, not sure how. I think a nice video idea would be something like "most ABSURD platinums" - stuff with some wild grind, or very weird trophy lists. Or ones which are impossible without a guide due to being too cryptic, or ones with way too many missables, ones which take way too long time, online-dependent trophies which require you to be in top % of players on a leaderboard, stupid RNG (Cat Fight in Injustice 2) or something like "Ultra Hot!! Pachi Game Spirit "CR Evangelion ~The First Gospel~" which is just a slot machine game based on Evangelion that takes 1000+ hours due to RNG... lots of ideas for that.

Another great video! I only played five games on this list but I did manage to get their platinums :p : Bloodborne, Metal Gear Solid 2, Cupboy, The Evil Within, and Devil May Cry 5 :) I’ll be trying Crash Bandicoot 4 soon enough though, so hopefully I can make that number 6 soon! Thanks for the great video!

Excellent video PlatinumBro. I agree with you about Aliens: Fireteam Elite. Definitely a 9/10 difficulty, even though the PSNProfiles guide indicates it an 8. I too have struggled with Cuphead. Think I will go back to it in the new year. It's a Platinum I would love to have. Incidentally, I tend to disqualify games which have a generic platinum title i.e. "Platinum," "All Trophies Obtained" or even "Platinum Trophy." I like my Platinum trophies to be unique. Anyway, I have played some of the other games featured in this video. Jump King and Super Meat Boy are on my to do list. I got 2 trophies for Crypt of the NecroDancer. One for bumping off the merchant and the other for beating zone 1 with solo Cadence. The problem with Crypt tends to be lag. I know I'm moving on the beat. But when changing direction it says 'beat skipped.' To wrap up, great video and have a Merry Christmas.

Just finished the platinum on Splasher yesterday, which mean I'm currently at 14/25 platinums completed from the games you listed in this video

Fight night round 4 platinum: Achieve 3 ONLINE belts in different weight classes… so utterly brutal & broken there are stories of people PAYING money to get them… IMPOSSIBLE to achieve when servers were up

Great vid ❤ gave me ptsd to when i did injustice and wolf 2 😅😂

Awesome list bro. On thing I think most list fail to mention (due to the games being uncommon) are titles in the Shoot Em Up Genre. Check out some of the following: Deathsmiles, Akai Katana, Ikaruga, and Raiden 4. Another that comes to mind is Qbert Rebooted (arcade game) I’ve done Deathsmiles and Qbert and am currently working on Akai Katana at the moment.

Ay, I got 5 of these. I'll take that. Would be 6 if i didn't lose my 100+ hour Isaac save.

I’ll be happy if I finish at some point my DMC 5 plat trophy, for now 37/55 trophies. Also Xem92 will attempt the Crypt of the Necrodancer, thumbs up for him. Good to see other plat hunters like Nick and 3Point, they are great guys!

Glad to know there's another Mag obsessed with Plats haha nice video mate.

It’s almost enough to make me homesick for Ireland 😭

Funny video and it was nice that you mentioned the most solid youtube plat hunters out there! However the title is very misleading...there is no way these are the hardest 25 platinum trophies. Sure they are hard but they are not the hardest. Some are obviously correct like Crypt, Wolfenstein 2, Splasher, but there are too many inconsistencies. Crash 4 is not even Top10 but how can he not be here when Crash Team Racing is? Another example is Jump King and Hollow Knight, there are exploits/PS Plus Cloud Saves that you can use that trivialize the difficulty. There is yet to appear someone who makes an accurate video about this topic. Questions like...which hardest 2 games sit on the Podium with Crypt? Well, it's definitely not Street Fighter 5 hahah there are dozens of fighting games even harder than that, such as Marvel vs Capcom 3. Can't even believe some games like Trackmania Turbo, Trials Rising and Super Meat Boy Forever (which is harder than the original) are not even here. And like other people already said, there are too many PS3 and PS Vita harder games missing. I could go on but there is no point, the video was entertaining so thank you anyway. This is just something that I'm really in to and it's sad to not see a solid list anywhere on KZfaq.

Fun list, and always glad to see street fighter make it in. I just wish people in the community would try actually playing it foreal past the trophies though, instead of just trying to use it as a bragging tool or whatever. Getting 'gud' at these games are far more fun and rewarding than any plat imo, even the ones considered hard

Cuphead takes dedication to get good at, once you know the timing you’ll be golden.

I only have MGS2 Platinum Trophy 🏆 from this list

Fantastic Video. The only one that I have played is Bloodborne. I will make sure I avoid the other 24 like the plague 😂 I would like to see you do a list of the 25 worst games to platinum. Think that would be quite interesting. Thanks again for keeping us entertained in 2023. Have a great Christmas 🎄 and New Year.

Amazing video dude! Would love to see the Worst Platinums. Definitely have some games in mind 😅😬 I was thinking of playing XCOM2 at some point but I don't know if I will or not. Never played a game like it I've only earned Wolfenstein 2, Definitely wanna play harder games Games I'm gonna mention that weren't mentioned in the video which are pretty tough to platinum Crawl (8/10 40 Hours) Furi (8/10 25 Hours) Trackmania Turbo (9/10 70 Hours) I Am Bread (9/10 40 Hours) Nuclear Throne (8/10 200 Hours) Shadow Warrior 1 (9/10 50 Hours) Tetris Effect (9/10 150 Hours)

i got the platinum for wolfenstein 2 a couple months ago. it was definitely one of the hardest things i've ever done. it took me 248 hours and upwards of 100 attempts. I love the game to death, but the amount of bugs and the inconsistent enemy AI almost got to me multiple times. i hear a lot of people talk about how the beginning is the worst part because of the unskippable cutscenes, but honestly the entire game becomes kind of a cutscene at the 200 hour mark

First vid I’ve seen ov yours my g and your layout of a Video is solid your an amazing KZfaqr keep doing you can’t wait to see more

Amazing vid but I was waiting for bo3 lmao

I only have super meat boy and cuphead on this list, almost have crash 4. I’m also going for splasher and jump king, and I have the 3rd hardest trophy on jump king. (Main Babe 0 Falls.)

You should make a video based around the best first games to Platinum, I just recently started distancing myself from competitive shooters and went and got platinum for Skyrim, had a great time now I don’t know what to go to next

Not a hardcore gamer here and haven’t played most of this list, but I have gotten the Platinum for Cuphead. Hardest game I’ve ever gotten it on for sure. Crash 4 is harrowing. I love the game, but the idea of trying to platinum it makes me ill. I can’t imagine I will ever do better than 85% on the game.

Tbh, BB is more tactical than Hard. If you find guides etc it's a walk in the park, however if it's going in blind.. Good luck

I finally got around to watching this one. I'd love to see more list stuff, it's my guilty pleasure kind of content, I'm a sucker for list videos. As I have experience with a fair few of these games I thought I'd randomly nitpick and add some notes. I'm just having some fun adding my contribution to the discussion of the harder stuff so don't take this as any real criticism on your video/choices, I enjoyed it as always :D apologies in advance if this is too much waffle for anyone to bother with lol. It's not all just going to be 'I don't think this should be here' though, I'll include some extra games. First up, I disagree quite a bit with AvP. The online was a nuisance because it was always fairly dead but for the campaigns/nightmare both the Alien and Predator are really easy power fantasies even on the highest setting. It's only the Marine that has some issues and it's only really 2 specific locations in 2 separate missions. On the whole it's much easier than the likes of, say, Wolf 2 but with the added benefit of also only having chapter permadeath. Injustice, this is just one that I get needlessly triggered over because I think it's one of the most overrated and misjudged. I feel like it shot to fame as 'difficult' because it came to PS+ in the early PS4 cycle and trophy hunters who were cranking out pretty much every months plats who'd never played a fighting game before got a tad overwhelmed by their first one all of a sudden and with the added spike in rarity that a lot of games around then had makes it seem worse than it is. It's on the easier end of the scale for fighting game platinums. Sure, it's not easy-easy like something like Tekken 7 but there's a lot of 'average fighting games' I'd rate harder than Injustice to plat. There's also quite a bit of misinformation out there that may be making it harder for some people which you repeated in your video so it seems that the common knowledge is wrong but everywhere lol. Things like the idea you have to use Solomon Grundy or Doomsday. Doomsday was an old AI exploit in the PS3 version IIRC which was patched and wasn't even available at all in the PS4 version. If someone finds the game hard using Doomsday it's because they're relying on an exploit that literally doesn't exist! As for Grundy it stems from the assumption of someone, maybe a guide writer? forum poster? I don't know... That basically because he has one of the easiest high damage combos in the game that magically he is the easiest character. These could not be more wrong. I've done the hardest one of the battle modes multiple times and these were FAR from the easiest characters. I don't know who I'd broadly recommend for newcomers exactly but a couple I found really easy to do it with were Cyborg and Batgirl personally. And with the stars in star labs, while there's a lot of missions they're all short and easy (even if the mini games are crappy and janky) and you can avoid 3 starring any difficult ones because there's more stars available than the trophy requires since the star requirement was based on 3 starring all the launch characters missions but they have post-launch characters who all have their own sets of missions so you can easily skip stars or entire missions that you find tricky. Surgeon Simulator, no real issue with this inclusion but just find it a tad interesting you chose to mention this over I Am Bread. Just often people will usually lump these in together and out of the two the consensus is that Bread is harder so people tend to mention that more often. Bleed, just a correction maybe. I think you looked at the Asian stack for your numbers as you said 4 achievers. EU is 38, NA is 30. It's debatable whether 1 or 2 is harder, but I will say 2 is the better game at least. I have both and they're pretty cool games so it's nice to see these niche games get the mention. Hollow Knight, just the obvious note that whilst it is hard to do it's hard to view it as an especially hard platinum because it's commonly known for an invincibility exploit. Killing every boss in a row ain't so difficult when you literally can't die xD I did it legitimately and yeah, it's a fairly tough endurance challenge. To be fair it's mostly the last boss (not gonna spoil lol) and not being able to really practice and have another shot at it without slogging through all the others to get back there. DMC5, I would personally rather opt to include DMC4 instead. Out of all DMC games (I'm excluding the reboot) DMC5 has the easiest S ranks of the series. Only 4 & 5 require all S ranks for the platinums though, so by default I'd say that makes 4 the hardest DMC platinum. But... since someone you know has the platinum (allegedly, he doesn't mention it often) it's probably for the best to give 5 the spotlight ;) Binding of Isaac, this can also be save scummed but unlike Hollow Knight it isn't especially difficult without it. One of the best roguelikes of all time and actually fairly accessible as far a roguelikes go. The base game platinum isn't anything crazy (especially with gameplay tweaks made over time with patches/DLC), it's more the 100% that can take a lot of time and effort. That being said, it is still longer than your bog standard platinum as that's usually just what happens with roguelikes a lot of the time, they want you doing lots and lots of runs. As for games I'd liked to have seen have a mention I feel like there's a lack of SHMUP representation. Games like Ikaruga, Dariusburst, Deathsmiles, Raiden. Funnily enough Ikaruga had an earlier Xbox achievement list that was already considered a 9 or 10/10 difficulty which required A rank in every level and a 1CC run... Well... The PS4 trophy list decided that wasn't enough and wants S++ ranks in every level, still asks for a 1CC but also wants a 1CC in local co-op, good luck if you don't have a skilled friend and need to solo with 2 controllers lol. Another commonly talked about game for difficulty that feels absent is Assetto Corsa, a game which unless you have a good amount of racing simulator experience can be an intense hurdle to overcome. Speaking of driving games though, I often see people bringing up Trackmania Turbo and the newer Trackmania release too. Personally I don't think they're that exceptional and obviously they pale compared to something like AC but they're still pretty tricky at times on the late tracks. In a similar vein some people feel the same with the Trials games (though only Rising has a plat and it's a bit easier than some of the stuff in Fusion). And I left this to the end so people didn't get upset immediately and not read further... Bloodborne, eww, nope. FromSoft difficulty is overrated IMO and I'm sorry if that does upset anyone I'm not trying to be controversial lol. I'm not attempting to boast nor downplay anyone else's struggles with these game and it's such a subjective subject but I think they're not especially standout compared to other AAA games on their normal difficulty. It's just that they don't have difficulty options so if someone were the type who rather play on easy then... well... RIP. I personally wouldn't be offended if they had an easy mode, but I know that triggers some of the elitists out there lol. I think the high achiever rate really shows that whilst they may not be ez-pz there's still loads and loads of people getting these done without too much difficulty.

What is that intro music? i heard somewhere before..but i cant remember where. :) found it, Gaiety in the Golden Age

Hardest Platinums for me were any of the "Agarest War" RPGs, X-Com, Beatles Rock Band, and Rock Band 2. Good list!

Dang no Vanquish 😢 Im proud of that plat

Now sat at 9/25 of these plats

Lewis your the man thanks for all the great content

I have a couple of the games on this list but I feel Darkest Dungeon deserves a spot

As a person who has platinum a couple of this like SMB, Splasher, and Wolfenstein 2, I can definitely say this list is accurate. Mad props to all the people who were mentioned here as they were a big inspiration for me on my trophy hunting :')

This vid us good. I just wish I didn't have to look up every game to find out what the hardest trophies are for most of them.

Weirdly enough for The Evil Within, I have every trophy except for nightmare difficulty and Akumu. For the sequel, I only need Classic difficulty. When I did the speedrun trophy, I did it with 5-ish minutes to spare mainly because I did most of the trophies on casual and had the unlockables like the rocket launcher. Akumu is something I'd never touch unless I was a content creator and was paid to do it, no lie. I know it seems scummy to say that, but I don't need anger issues at my age over games.

Alright, let me whip out the notebook for 2024. 😅😂

I've gotten every achievement on the crash n.sane trilogy on about 4 or 5 different accounts now. But crash 4 is a different beast entirely. Haven't even attempted it!

I am a proud owner of The Evil Within Platnium trophy.

Hardest platinum in terms of difficulty rn is definitely DMC5 SE, but once I finish DMC 4 it’ll be that for sure (so fuckin annoying). In terms of time investment tho I have both RDR2 and RDR1 (PS3), and those are the most grindy by FAR. Red dead online is soul draining.

This is a good list, and there are so many other incredibly difficult platinums that you could put on here if you wanted to as well. Grand Theft Auto IV and V come to mind (less than 1% of people on PSNProfiles has them, and around 0.2% overall).. or Max Payne 3, which has multiplayer trophies that might be unobtainable now. Personally, I’m relatively new to trophy hunting, but from this list, I’m hoping that I can eventually get Hollow Knight and possibly Evil Within as well.

glad to get at least 1 from this list. Street Fighter V 😌 super tough, very rewarding at the end

Nice to see the GAWD Gamer

Man, when you told me you did lots of research for this, I was hoping that the niche stuff would be on here too (which there was one, I've never heard of Assault Android Cactus 😁), but sadly not. I really really would've loved to help with this if possible, there's just so many more games out there that you missed out that make some of the games on this list look like a kid's platinum 😅 Good job regardless, some will appreciate this list :)

you could give me 10M and I still wouldn't try platinum bloodborne again 😭🙏

Bro Surgeon Simulator made me rage more than any other experience in gaming 😂. I hate the eye surgery in the ambulance I remember I sat down in pure silence for 3 hours doing it. I was sitting there salty and pissed😂

I love videos like this keep it up plat bro and id vite for 25 worst platinums

The only game on here that I've done is "The Evil Within". The original PS3 version at that, which apparently is a bit harder than the PS4 remaster. While definitely hard, I do think it's more on the manageable side. It's really a matter of familiarizing yourself but that does require a couple of playthroughs, especially if you save AKUMU mode for last. Besides that, uh..."Cuphead" is in my backlog. Will be trying that at some point. Might try "Hollow Knight" one day but I'm not too sure I will. When it comes to fighting games, I can definitely think of a couple that would qualify more but really, to those who don't regularly play fighting games, they all are a struggle. Heck, I'm somewhere in-between decent and terrible and I have a rough time with some of them.

Hang in there with Cuphead. The run n gun levels are a pain to do pacifist, but it's a game of pattern recognition and timing. It's very satisfying when you get through a boss on expert. Plus with the DLC there are some new weapons and a character that make the runs a little easier. I have maybe two platinums from that list. Cuphead and MGS2, they are some platinums I am proudest of.

Good list mate. Are you from Newcastle by any chance? You sound like a propa Geordie.

Oh Xcom 2... Those were the good days. It's my 100th plat. Now I'm going for Alien Fireteam fom my 200th.

FF9 and 10 are nightmares

I haven't watched the video but my guess is that Crypt of the Necrodancer is gonna be the hardest

I thought I’d have more but I only have 7 out of 25 from this list. I loved this video although there is a game I think should be on this list, definitely a 10/10 in my opinion called Kyurinaga’s Revenge. I garuntee no-one can get that one on stream including the other hunters u mentioned in the video. Good luck anyone tht attempts it tho.

my biggest flex is having 100% achievements in dmc 5 on steam, sadly not on console

The chalice dungeons in Bloodborne where disgusting, that amygdala man

I have the Bleed and Bleed 2 platinums! Bleed's difficulty comes from having to beat arcade on very hard, which means you have to beat the game without dying and your health carries over each level. Theres no healing in bleed 1, but there is in bleed 2 making it easier. Theyre both amazing but underrated games and i highly recommend them !!

As someone who 100% The Binding of Isaac Repentance I really don't think it deserves to be here, especially since the version in the video doesn't seem to be rebirth, but one of the DLC versions. It takes a while to complete, but is more like a 7 or 8 out of 10.

The only reason so many people have the bloodborne platinum is because of co-op you know damn well the percentage would be way lower if you couldn't get help

I am surprised Tetris Effect is not here.

I’m proud to have dmc 3-5, all the dark souls, bloodborne, sekiro, elden ring, demon’s souls, drakengard 3 (for the final boss alone), and final fantasy x

Man.. Hollow Knight was.. a experience.. i love every single hour that pass on the platinum. Have 400 hours to do every thing in the game, and 80 hours to get platinum

Worst platinum trophies would make an entertaining list for sure.

I got the platinum on Issac… and I did it waaaaay back before they nerfed the lost and let him start with holy nova. Over 2k hours and 3 times that many deaths. Still my most proud plat ever. P.s. screw meat-boy and meat-girl. Double P.S. - - - different game but I also unlocked Wes…. And I’m still salty to this day that unlocking Wes is only bronze… that challange shoulda been plat.

Great list, I think sekiro is more difficult than bloodborne

The Hardest Game I Platinumed in my Life is The Evil Within all because of the Dreaded Akumu Difficulty where Every single enemy no matter how big or small they instantly kills you in 1 hit. Let me tell you, Chapter 6 is absolutely the worst

So far the hardest platinum trophy for me was neon white because of those STUPID HELL RUSHES! (I got the platinum but not without losing some of my sanity).

17:17 this took me 3 years to beat including buying the dual sense edge to give myself an edge with the shorter triggers bursts. Brutal. Painful. Annoying. I hated it so much. It's not only hard but the game has broken mechanics whilst asking for perfection from you. I currently have 94/95 100% games with 99.99% completion and Crash 4 took the life out of me I almost gave up. I've been trying to 100% 100 games and am 5 games away and 14 years in the making for it. Thought Crash 4 was going to ruin it all for me. I dont recommend that game to anyone who's a perfectionist player.

I’m happy I got the Platinum for Bloodborne.

1:17 bluds holding back tears 😭

Awesome Video mate, I'm glad you put in Xcom 2 and Catherine, I also think that Trackmania Turbo is worth to mention

I actually have a good chunk of these platinums. In Injustice, Doomsday and Solomon Grundy aren't required for battle mode. I managed to do it all with just Harley Quinn.

i got all achievements in cuphead back in 2020 and it convinced to try more challenging games like fromsoft ware games and soulslikes

Gears of War 'Seriously 2.0'

I got plat for RDR2 and thought that was rough 😅

I struggle on easy mode on most games. Very rarely play higher than normal. But even I have the Bloodborne platinum trophy as well as the Old Hunters 100% trophies. Don't get me wrong, it is still a very hard game and still a hard platinum. But it's nowhere near as difficult as people make out. There's not a chance it's in the top 25 hardest platinums out of every single Playstation game ever.
