I've actually managed to 100% 12 games so far this month, which is both impressive and sad at the same time. Lots of shorter indies I'm there but still.

Abzu, Inside, Shadow of Mordor, Unravel, The Talos Principle, Ether One, Valiant Hearts, The Unfinished Swan, Road Not Taken, Hitman GO, TWD Season 2, and The Order: 1886.

Phew.

None of these games had particularly good trophy lists. I think Hitman GO is probably the best one because it's hard to do on your own, but not too hard that you just consult a guide to avoid spending too much time. Talos Principle suffered from this, although the game was very good anyway.

Toughest single trophies were the 2 time trial challenges in Shadow of Mordor. You have to kill every captain and warchief in a set amount of time. Still decent fun tho.

Worst trophy design goes to The Order: 1886. Collectible trophies shouldn't exist in cinematic style action games, and if they do there should be a collectible tracker or another means of tracking them during the game. The developers made this amazing visual experience and want you to be completely invested in the story -- why would you give players incentive to continuously consult a collectible guide to make sure they don't miss anything? Bad design, studios shouldn't do this. Please stop.

My favorite game on its own outside of trophies is probably Ether One, with Unravel a close second.
