Oh drop the nonsense and go straight to E33 and do yourself a favour, play on at least normal forget trophies until you finish the game, there is nothing that will lock you out of the plat so no need to check trophies and be spoiled. Just play the game and enjoy it with decent difficulty, I switched to Expert for 80% of the game and I'll be going back to normal for the platinum soon. You'll do yourself the biggest disservice in gaming if you let trophies enter your mind for this game, honestly, enjoy it without the meta gaming and at a decent difficulty cause a game like this only comes around every 5 years. The trophies and the platinum will work themselves out, the fastest route to Platinum here makes such little difference here I'd have to guess but if there was a way it would completely ruin what you get here, an Elden Ring or The Witcher 3 level experience in freshness and immersion.

Oh, well you'll do yourself a disservice as the systems need time to unfold but we game as we feel. I'll just say, stay away from talk of the game on the Internet, on this site it's all cool, people are respectful but avoid social media. 



Platinum #21 - Lost Records: Bloom & Rage

Completion Time: 13hrs
Difficulty: 4.5/10 (Due to a lot of missables)
Overall Fun: Tape 1 - 4.5. Tape 2 - 6.5/10

The second tape was significantly better than the first, the overall vibe was pretty aight. Outside of the overall really cringe dialogue and the excessive use of cutscenes for everything (thank god for the option to skip) I came away not disappointed/not wanting more. Overall an average game by a studio who’s still chasing that success of the original Life Is Strange but just not quite getting there but for a PS+ Extra game I can’t complain.

Next up: Clair 33

Hey, just to let ya know, there is one missable vollectible in E33. Ya don't need to worry about any trophy or meta gaming in E33 cause you will need to dip into NG+ after endgame unless you want hiurs of grind to get to level 99, you'll end up with them all or they can easily be done after the story, infact it's better to wait cause it'll take less time at end game to mop up what you don't have naturally apart from one missable collectible in the first hour that will take a NG+ and a need to do all of those certain collectibles again since progress gets wiped. I'd have the plat in the first 5-10 hours in after I do a NG+ but seems I'll have to play most of the game again for that one trophy. Not complaining though, I wanted to anyway, that game is just that good.

If you’re talking about that collectible off the mime in the prologue I’ve already got it.

Nope. The old key. It's an item used to get a collectible later. 



Well, I was able to speed run CO E33 about 5 hours of content in less than 30 minutes so I'd reckon missing those journals will mean an hour added tops as I aim for them with a guide, need to get back to the end game for good EXP anyway.

Edit. Just realised I'll have to best the true end game boss again and now more difficult, I dunno if I'll be doing that, I got extremely lucky after a dozen attempts that I doubt I'll be able to replicate, so this Platinum may elude me. Gonna try anyway, still have a great deal of fun.
