Sniper Elite 4

Sniper Elite 4 is a third-person tactical stealth shooter and a sequel to the 2014 Sniper Elite III. Similar to previous games in the series, an X-Ray kill cam is activated whenever the player fires at an enemy with a sniper rifle, displaying the bullet’s damage to the target’s bones and internal organs. The game has included shrapnel, melee, and stealth kills, an improved enemy AI system, and larger maps which allow more open-ended gameplay.

Following the events in 1943 Italy in Sniper Elite III, SOE sniper Karl Fairburne is sent to the island of San Celini to assassinate General Tobias Schmidt and several key officers who are building a new Nazi weapon.

Sniper Elite 4 received generally positive reviews with an average score of 78%, praised for its mechanics, co-op multiplayer function, and overall fun.

This is a high 2-star rating, only because the Authentic difficulty playthrough can be quite challenging. However, there are far less online trophies to worry about, compared to the previous installment. At least two playthroughs are required for the campaign, one on Authentic difficulty which is the hardest mode. There are a number of collectibles to find, kill-related trophies to grind for, and several online co-op trophies to acquire. Overall, the road to the Platinum is no cakewalk, but certainly doable.

Expect around 30-35 hours of gameplay for the Platinum.

Start by selecting either Cadet or Marksman mode, which is Easy or Normal, and play through the 8 story missions, as well as the 2 Overwatch missions, until you’ve completed the campaign. During this run, it’s a good idea to keep a look out for collectibles, which come in the form of Last Letters, Letters from Home, and Letters to Home for The Collector trophy, sniper reports for the Greatest Hits trophy, and stone eagles to shoot for the A Bird In The Hand trophy. There are also some kill-related trophies you can be working on during your first playthrough, to reduce the amount of grinding required later. Be sure to check out the Sniper Elite 4 trophy guide links under our Links tab as well as the Collectible Location guides.

After you’ve completed the campaign, we recommend jumping into your Authentic mode playthrough, which is the hardest mode in the game, while the missions are still fresh in your mind. However, not only do you need to complete Authentic mode for the Are You Insane trophy, but do so without making any manual saves for The Best Of The Best Of The Best trophy. This means having to rely on the automatic checkpoint saves. Also, playing on Authentic mode means there is no aim assist or mini-map, and you will need to take into effect the wind resistance. Also, the enemies can take more damage, while the player-character takes less. If you have someone to play this in co-op, we recommend this as your partner can revive you.

Next, it’s time to mop-up the remaining single player trophies. This will probably include all those kill-related trophies, and finding any missing collectibles. Again, check out the Sniper Elite 4 trophy guide links under the Links tab to see what you still need and their requirements.

Last, it’s time to finish those online and co-op related trophies. Both multiplayer trophies can be done in a private match, if you have a boosting partner.

Happy sniping!

Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ** A third-person action and remake of the 2012 game on the Nintendo 3DS. The Platinum is easy, though requires a bit of time.

Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal

Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal is a remake of the original Senran Kabura Burst first released on the Nintendo 3DS in 2012. The game has been revamped in HD with trophy support, and redone as a third-person action game, rather than a 2D side-scroller. The game follows two separate storylines, one for each ninja Academy, with five playable characters in each. Characters have a range of different attacks, as well as special attacks, that can be unlocked as they level-up.

Welcome to the Hanzo Academy, where Asuka, Ikaruga, Katsuragi, Yagyu, and Hibari are high school girls secretly trained in the art of ninjitsu. Their training is suddenly put to the test when they are challenged by rival ninja students belonging to the Hebijo Clandestine Girls’ Academy.

The original Senran Kagura Burst received mixed reviews with an average score of 65%, praised for its fun characters, story, and combat system, though criticized by some for its repetitive gameplay, and viewed as sexist by some Western reviewers.

Like most games in the Senran Kagura series, Burst Re:Newal is an easy Platinum to obtain. The only reason for the 2-star difficult is for the time involved. There are two playthroughs required, one for each of the two Academy storylines, some collectable related trophies, and a number of simple, miscellaneous challenges to complete. For the most part, the game can be played on its easiest level setting. Also, due to the chapter select, there are no missable trophies to worry about.

If you are not text-skipping, the Platinum can be unlocked in 20-25 hours of gameplay.

From the start, you have the option of playing either the Hanzo Academy or Hebijo Academy storyline. It doesn’t matter which you chose in regards to the Platinum, but if you wish to play in order that the original game intended, than start with the Hanzo Academy.

At some point, you will need to play a 2-star mission for the Explosive Ninja trophy, and a 3-star mission for the Top Ninja trophy. These can be done later after your characters have leveled up, in which case you can play all missions on the 1-star, which is the easiest setting.

As you play through, be on the lookout for secret documents, to which there is normally one in each mission. If you miss any, don’t fret. You can use the chapter select later to go back and nab any secret documents you missed. Each mission will also tell you how many you are still missing.

Also, to avoid future grinding, work towards unlocking the Yin Master trophy by using your character in Frantic mode, and the Yang Master trophy for using the Shinobi transformation, as you play through the story. On a side note, if you face any missions that are a bit tough, feel free to replay previous missions with that character to level her up, before trying again.

Once you’ve completed both the Hanzo Academy and Hebijo Academy story playthroughs, it’s time to move onto the Free Missions, which should all be unlocked after finishing the two major storylines. These are separate, shorter missions each focusing on a specific character.

With that finished, you should have a good chunk of the trophies unlocked. Now, it’s simply a matter of collecting all the miscellaneous ones you’re still missing. This may include finding the last of the secret documents for the One Who Knows The Truth trophy, reaching level 50 with a character for the Flawless trophy, or various activities involving the change-room. Be sure to check out the Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal trophy guide links under our Links tab to see what you still need and their requirements.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Trophy Guide

Final Fantasy VII Remake Trophy Guide. Difficulty: *** A third-person action RPG and remake of the 1997 game first released on the PlayStation One. The Platinum is of average difficulty, but quite time consuming.

Game Name Difficulty Trophies Developer Country Bronze Silver Gold Online DLC

Final Fantasy VII Remake

Final Fantasy VII Remake is an action RPG and a retelling of the original 1997 Final Fantasy VII. While the game mostly follows the same story, characters, dialogue, and music from the 1997 original, the graphics have been completely redone, and the battle system has changed to a hybrid of real-time action and strategic RPG elements, similar to the fighting system in Final Fantasy XV.

Set in Midgar, a dystopian metropolis, Soldier turned mercenary Cloud Strife has joined Avalanche, an eco-terrorist group attempting to stop the Sinra megacorporation from using up the planet’s life force. As cloud embarks on missions for money, he soon sympathizes with Avalanche’s cause as well as its members, leading him to face a deadly nemesis from his past.

Final Fantasy VII Remake received positive reviews with an average score of 89%, praised for its re-imagining of the original game while remaining true to its roots, new combat system, colorful characters, beautiful graphics, and for being overall superior to its original.

The difficulty is relatively average, although you will need to put in a fair number of hours into obtaining the Platinum, hence the 3-star rating. There are no missable trophies to worry about, as a chapter select allows you to go back and mop-up anything you are missing. Two full playthroughs are required, one on either Easy or Normal, and a second on Hard mode.

Expect around 70-80 hours for the Platinum.

In the beginning, you have the option of playing on Easy or Normal. The former will make the gameplay quicker, while the latter will better prepare you for your Hard playthrough, so the choice is yours. You will need to complete the game on any mode in order to unlock Hard mode.

There are no missable trophies to worry about, so feel free to play at your leisure towards the end of the game. If you wish to avoid much backtracking however, we recommend completing all 24 available side quests, and find all 31 music discs for the Disc Jockey trophy.

After you finished your first playthrough, it’s time to use the chapter select and mop up anything you missed. This will include the Best In The Business trophy for completing all the side quests, as you will need to replay Chapter 9 and make different choices that allow you to complete the previously missed quests. In addition to Chapter 9, you will also need to replay both Chapter 3 and Chapter 8 in order to unlock the different bridal dresses for the Dressed To The Nines trophy. Check out the Final Fantasy VII Remake trophy guide links under our Links tab for more details, as well as which trophies you still may need and their requirements.

Keep in mind, however, that you will still need to replay the game on Hard mode, where you can complete the missing quests as well as obtain three of the nine bridal outfits, if you wish to avoid much backtracking. Lastly, it’s time for your playthrough on Hard mode. Here, enemies have more health and deal more damage. In addition, you will be unable to use items, and MP cannot be regenerated by resting on a bench nor through completing quests. Make sure to come prepared, such as having useful material maxed out, and acquiring the Gotterdammerung accessory which, when equipped to Cloud, will make things much easier. Hard mode can be selected from the chapter select, though the entire chapter must be played on Hard for it to count.

During this playthrough, remember to complete the missed quests in Chapter 9 and make different choices in order to view the final three bridal dresses, if you haven’t done so already. Completing the game on Hard mode will unlock the Hardened Veteran trophy, and if you’ve been following this roadmap, the Platinum trophy as well.

Shikhondo Soul Eater Trophy Guide

Shikhondo Soul Eater Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ** A top-down bullet hell shoot ’em up based on Asian mythology. The Platinum is quick but quite challenging.

Game Name Difficulty Trophies Developer Country Bronze Silver Gold Online DLC
Shikhondo: Soul Eater ** 20 DeerFarm Korea 5 5 9 0 0

Shikhondo: Soul Eater

Shikhondo: Soul Eater is a top-down, bullet-hell shoot ‘em up which blends the action with Asian mythology. Players select from one of two characters and fire at a variety of enemies while dodging a continuous onslaught of bullets, while making their way each stages final boss. The game includes a co-op mode which can be either local or through SharePlay.

Demons known as Yokai have escaped from their imprisonment of Limbo, and are bringing horror across the land by stealing the souls of their victims. It is up to The Girl and the Grim Reaper to destroy the Yokai and free the captured souls.

Shikhondo: Soul Eater received modest reviews with an average score of 69%, praised for its artwork and controls, though criticized for its short length in relation to its high price.

Despite needing a minimum of four playthroughs for the Platinum, the game itself is quite short and requires only around 30 minutes per playthrough. The reason for the 2-star difficulty rather than anything lower, is for the challenge involved. There are trophies which require full playthroughs without using any continues, which can be demanding and may require a number of restarts. Playthroughs on co-op mode are also required, however this can be done solo, even without a second controller.

Expect anywhere between 4-10 hours for the Platinum, depending on your skills.

Due to both the shortness of the game, as well its challenge, we recommend working towards the Platinum step by step. Start by simply playing through the game, selecting to play as either Grim Reaper or The Girl, in Arcade mode on Easy difficulty. Along the way, you will not only unlock the stage-related trophies, but a number of miscellaneous ones almost naturally as you play.

After you complete your first playthrough, be sure to check the leaderboards in order to get the Raising Hell trophy.

Next, it’s time for a second playthrough. Select Arcade mode again, only this time choose whichever character, between Grim Reaper or The Girl, to unlock that character’s trophy. We also recommend doing this on Normal mode in order to get used to the gradual difficulty.

Next, select Boss Rush mode on Normal difficulty. Here, your objective is not only to complete this mode for the Speed Demon trophy, but also doing so without using any continues for the Nothing Normal About It trophy. While continues are still available, you cannot use them if you wish to unlock the trophy, and so instead will need to start over if you reach that point.

Next, start up a game on Arcade mode on Easy difficulty, and again, get through the game without using any continues. This will unlock the Back To Limbo trophy for not using continues on Arcade mode, and the You Think That Was Easy trophy for not using continues on Easy mode.

After that, it’s time for the co-op trophies. You can chose to either play locally with a friend, use SharePlay, or simply play by yourself with a single controller. In fact, if you cannot play with someone locally, we recommend doing this solo rather than using SharePlay, as the game is quite fast-paced and so the lag may make things more difficult. Co-op mode is a little more difficult, as the enemies can take more damage. Completing Co-op mode on Easy difficulty will unlock the Double Drop trophy. Also, if you can do this without using continues, you will save yourself an extra playthrough and unlock the Easy Riders trophy as well.

If you haven’t unlocked the Easy Riders trophy in the previous playthrough, then now is the time to play on Co-op mode on Easy difficulty without using any continues. If you already managed to unlock this trophy, then you’ll still need to play on Co-op mode on Normal difficulty without using continues for the Been Through Hell Together trophy.

If you’ve been following this roadmap, then you should have unlocked the Platinum after your Co-op Normal mode playthrough. If not, simply mop-up whatever trophies you are still missing. Be sure to check out the Shikhondo Soul Eater trophy guide links under our Links tab to see what you still need and their requirements.

Rogue Galaxy

Rogue Galaxy is a third-person action-RPG first released on the PlayStation 2 in 2005, and revamped in HD with trophy support for the PlayStation 4 in 2015. Players explore a continuous environment while fighting enemies met in random encounters, in hack and slash real-time battles. Each character has an Action Gauge which decreases as actions are performed, and must be refilled before another action can be done. Weapons can be leveled up, as well as synthesized with each other to create a new, stronger weapon.

Jaster Rogue is an agriculturalist living on the desert planet Rosa, who is recruited by space pirate Dorgengoa who is on an adventure to seek out eternal life. Yet as they travel from planet to planet, Jaster finds himself becoming involved in a galactic conflict.

The original Rogue Galaxy released on the PS2 received positive reviews with an average score of 82%, praised for its graphics, battle system, variety of side-quests, and overall gameplay, though criticized by some for its plot and lack in character development.

The game may be a little challenging at times, though is not particularly difficult. However, the road to the Platinum is very time consuming, hence the 3-star difficulty rating. Particularly, you’ll need upgrade all legendary Seven-Star Swords to their final form, and have at least one of your characters reach level 99, which can be quite grinding. Still, with help from the guides under our Links tab, and with enough time on your hands, any average player can unlock the Platinum.

Expect roughly 80-100 hours for the Platinum.

There are no missable trophies to worry about, so feel free to play through the main story and enjoy it. If you wish to reduce some of the post-game grinding, you may wish to use this opportunity to work on collecting and upgrading the legendary Seven-Star Swords for the Keeper Of The Blades trophy, as well as unlock some of the miscellaneous trophies. Check out the Rogue Galaxy trophy guide links under our Links tab for more details, if this is something you want to do.

Once you’ve finished the main game, you will have unlocked the post-game dungeons, the Ghost Ship and the Ghost Ship Extreme. Now is a good time to explore these, for not only will you unlock the Space Whiz and Ghost Ship Conqueror trophies, but you will have a good opportunity to grind towards reaching level 99 for A Strong Constitution trophy.

After that, it’s time to mop up all the outstanding trophies, with the exception of those related to the Insectron Tournament. Most of these will be miscellaneous trophies you may have missed during your initial play through the main story. Be sure to check out the Rogue Galaxy trophy guide links under our Links tab to see what you’re missing and their requirements.

Finally, it’s time for the Insectron Tournament. Here, you’ll first need to assemble a team of five Insectors, then head to the planet Zerard and talk to the announcer in the middle of the Insectron Stadium to begin the tournaments. You’ll unlock the Space Beetles trophy for simply winning a game, but more importantly, you’ll need to become the S-rank champion for the Lord Of The Bugs trophy.
