Compared to the generous offer this month, the freebies for March seem a little anticlimactic. Still, trophy hunters can enjoy two more platinums for their neverending trophy list, one of which is from a challenging yet satisfying game. And so, here is the line-up for PlayStation Plus free games March 2020, available for download on March 3.
First, there’s Shadow of the Colossus, the action-adventure by Team Ico first released in 2005 for the PS2. The game was first revamped with trophy support for the PS3 in 2011, and again for the PS4 in early 2018. Taking place in a vast, unpopulated area known as Forbidden Land, the Wander is on a quest to revive a girl named Mono by defeating sixteen monolithic beings known as the colossi.
Next, there’s Sonic Forces, the speed-filled platformer first released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Sonic the Hedgehog series. This time Sonic is joining up with a resistance group in order to stop Doctor Eggman from completing his evil plan.
Both Shadow of the Colossus and Sonic Forces have Platinum trophies to unlock.
The Platinum for Shadow of the Colossus on the PS4 is arguably much easier than its PS3 version, especially for players who have already conquered this game on older consoles. With multiple playthroughs required, expect anywhere between 20-30 hours, depending on skills and experience.
The Platinum for Sonic Forces is of average difficulty and may take 25-30 hours, depending on skills.
