How was your experience getting the "platinum" trophy for this game?
I'm in the process of completing it 100%, and the experience is being horrible. The save points suck, and sometimes I've had to replay entire chapters, like the fourth one, because in the final part, to unlock the "secret endings," you have to make a stick movement that isn't indicated anywhere, thus causing you to lose the chance to get it. Oh, and if you didn't save before that moment by chance, you're screwed and have to start over.

In terms of difficulty, it's quite easy, but all these problems make completing the game a nightmare. In my opinion, they even ruin the gaming experience.

How has yours been???

When I played (on PS5) there were several game breaking bugs which prevented getting the Platinum without uninstalling the game & playing the unpatched version which had major bugs. I had to save often & when I reached the game breaking bug (Emily WW1) then update to the new version to continue with the game.
These bugs were on all platforms.

Waiting for them to patch the bugged success "nobody knows what happened" because it just wont unlock.

Had no problems getting it besides the "no heal" achievement. It wouldn't pop during the first run (I guess, no heal also means no deaths) and I had to play the whole game through once more, that time it was in one sit and with no restarts at all.

Something similar happened to me. During my second run with Edward, I managed to finish it without healing, but I died twice and didn't get the trophy either. I guess it's like you said, you have to finish it without dying. I'll save it for my third run, along with the "I Don't Got All Night" trophy.

Definitely, this game was released in a hurry. It's becoming usual for games to come out broken in the first week, but the fact that it still has these kinds of problems today seems like a joke. I read somewhere that it didn’t reach the expected sales and there were layoffs at the studio....

Yup, you can tell by the quality. I think it could have looked even better with more love and time.

Indeed, and yet, people continue to buy games at release (sheep/whales) and with their overpriced sell tag (or with a lame discount) 2-3 months since release and it still has bugs/issues? shows you how much they care about their game.

They were quick to overprice this but are very slow to fix it. Not caring that the people who actually bought this at full price (or bought it at all) aren't having a good/pleasant time with it.

Mmhm, I am sure they were expecting this game to sell a ton of copies with its overpriced price tag and since they didn't, it didn't reach their expectations.


Embracer Group is just bad. Expect more studio shutdowns and closures. They money hungry. If game no sell a lot, it bad.

The current state of the industry is disheartening. Large corporations are acquiring medium and small companies that produce double-A games, only to dismantle or shut them down in their relentless pursuit of profit from popular titles. Fortunately, we still have the indie developers who continue to bring creativity and innovation to the gaming landscape.

Yeah, like the indie game "Indika" or Hades 1 and 2. Seems like we're going to need to focus more on indie titles like those and not overpriced hyped things like this.

I see it happening too much now. These Devs/Companies are using oldies (old stuff that a lot of people liked) in order to get into our pockets.

Thinking we're idiots (not all of us are Sheep/Whales) and will just cough up whatever asking price they ask for just cause its a thing that has a name on it that many people used to like/love. Look at all the remakes/remasters.

They'll bring "characters" into other games (crossovers) to get your money, have characters (you love or so) in an in-game store for you to buy (joker in suicide squad, if you don't want to grind) or all those other characters (Fortnite Skins)

They try to make shows/movies of them (Borderlands Movie, Fallout Show? Friday: the 13th Jasonverse) or games of them (friday the 13th the game, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Evil Dead the game) which all suck and failed cause money hungry Devs/Companies.

I'm seriously am getting tired of these people... ruining everything because they are just money hungry whales who don't care about anyone else but themselves and money.
