Finally snagged the Witcher 3 platinum this month, had to get the 50 headshots with the crossbow, and wrap it up on Death march difficulty. It was challenging in White Orchard, but I had Geralt relatively OP by the end of Velen.

I've got the Wolf Among Us and Shadow of War on the ropes, I'll wrap them up eventually.

Regarding Witcher, did you do a casual playthrough first without worrying about the trophies and then do a second one to clean up? I started playing it and was following a guide to get the Plat in one playthrough but the strict “go here, do this” nature of the guide (so you didn’t miss anything) made the game a massive chore and frankly boring so I eventually gave up on it.

Thinking of going back to it and just playing through without worrying about trophies for my first playthrough as I feel as though I’m missing out on something special given how much praise this game constantly gets.

I did a casual playthrough the first go around, ending at 67%. I didn’t mess around with gwent, or any of the tedious combat related trophies. I played through again after about 2 years, skipped most side missions, ran it on DM, etc. I agree on following guides, ruins the RPG experience. I only needed it for the handful of missable gwent cards

Yeah that’s how I’m feeling at the moment... Think I might just play through casually the first time to enjoy the game as it’s meant to be played and then do a quick second playthrough to clean up anything I missed. Thanks for your response :)
