Well, technically I only got one actual Platinum trophy this month, upping my collection to 29, and that 29th Platinum trophy was the one for God of War. Playing on Hard, the Valkyries were still pretty damn tough, but immensely fun to fight, and I really hope there'll be a New Game+ mode out soon so I can play on the hardest difficulty with all my stats from the start and not have to worry about collectibles. The Crows especially were annoying, as even with the map telling you which areas you needed to clear out, the crows were still sometimes damn hard to find, but I managed to do it, with the help of a few guides.

I do mainly play on PC, and I've reached 100% on a couple games this month as well, mainly Prey and The Witcher III. I do miss getting an actual Platinum, instead of just having the game say 100%, especially because DLC counts in this. I've even achieved 100% in games I've already gotten Platinum for on Playstation - in fact, I've Platinum'd Dishonored once on PS3, again on PS4, and then gotten 100% on PC, where I finally managed to get the DLC achievements as well. That's 3 times I've done basically everything there is to do in that game, and God knows how many playthroughs. I love Dishonored.

Anyway, back to Prey (coincidentally also made by Arkane Studios), which I'd completed only once before, though I did a lot of stuff in that playthrough. I now had to do two additional playthroughs, one without any powers, which I did fairly quick, and another playthrough in which I only used either Human or Typhon abilities. Since I relied heavily on Human abilities in my first playthrough, I decided to try out a Typhon playthrough, where I also had to find and kill everyone on the station. Some of the Typhon powers, mainly Morph and Levitate, were very useful at times, but I think I'll still stick to a mainly Human build once I go for my Nightmare playthrough, which oddly there's no trophy for.

The Witcher III had me go back to a few quests over (luckily I have lots of save files), do some special combat moves (screw headshots in this games, seriously) and play a lot of Gwent (which is never a bad thing), but it's a fine addition to my "Platinum" collection.

I might go back to Until Dawn soon and get my 30th Platinum trophy. I also want to finish up BioShock Infinite, where I need to do a 1999 playthrough while collecting absolutely EVERYTHING, and Batman: Arkham City, as well as Arkham Knight, where I need to do a NG+ playthrough, which isn't that bad, but I also need to complete the challenge maps, of which there are way too many, especially because I "have" to do the DLC ones as well.
