Capcom tends to make their linear single-player games endlessly replayable by adding bonus goodies and unlockables to spice up future playthroughs. Resident Evil 3 continues this tradition. Any tough trophies, like beating a higher difficulty, are instantly made easier by the fact that you can still get them with special weapons and items.

Even completing an S rank game is a breeze with Infinite Rocket Launcher. The only real challenge will be defeating Nemesis' final form. His attacks are one-hit kills even with a bulletproof vest. Players will have to play through the game several times, but the game is short to begin with and it gets even faster once you know how to play through it.

It's easy to see the influence of HR Giger Contempt eerie environments and creature designs. It is a first-person survival horror shooter with a strong focus on puzzles. The game itself is super short, provided one isn't completely stumped by the obtuse puzzle.

With a guide, the whole thing can be done in a few hours. Even without one, it shouldn't take as long to complete as the average full-length title. All but two trophies are automatically earned by playing the game.

The last two boil down to binary selection, so just play a specific chapter and Platinum will be taken care of.

Just listing this game is a spoiler in itself. The game has been out long enough for most people to at least be aware of it Doki Doki Literature Club is not a simple visual dating simulator.

The gameplay stays mostly in the same genre, although things take a terrifyingly surreal turn, so getting Platinum means nothing more than using the guide to see and do everything the game has to offer.

It will be a harrowing ride to see all the alternate paths in the game, but trophy hunters will do anything for that sweet, sweet Platinum.

Bloober Team wore their influences on their sleeve Medium. This unique game has beautiful modern graphics, but its movement, camera and puzzles harken back to an older era of horror games.

The game has no combat, so players don't have to worry about any combat trophies, but some threats in the world will cause the game to end anyway. The platinum trophy is associated with collectibles here. They are all easy to find, but you should use a guide as players cannot return to older areas to collect missing collectibles. On the plus side, it's all doable in one playthrough.
