Ratchet and Clank

Ratchet & Clank is a third-person action platformer, and a re-imagined of the original game first published in 2002 for the PlayStation 2, with improved visuals and added cut-scenes. Players control Ratchet during the largest portion of the game during platforming and action sequences, while at other times controlling Clank to solve environmental puzzles, while also performing races in the form of hoverboards, and aerial combat in spaceships. Players can acquire and upgrade an assortment of weapons gadgets.

Ratchet is working as a mechanic when he encounters a warbot who escaped a factory. Naming him Clank, Ratchet agrees to assist the warbot in warning the Galactic Rangers of the army of warbots being created.

The re-imagined 2016 Ratchet & Clank received positive reviews with an average score of 83%, praised for its visuals, environments, gameplay, and overall fun.

This is a low 2-star rating. The game is not particularly difficult, especially if you select to play on Easy mode. At least two playthroughs are required, and there are collectibles to find. While a few hoverboard races may prove tricky for some, they are not too difficult for any average gamer. Overall, Ratchet & Clank is a reasonably straight-forward game that just requires a little time.

Expect roughly 20-25 hours for the Platinum, depending on how much more you need to play after your two playthroughs.

You'll need to do 2 playthroughs for the Platinum: one regular, and a second on Challenge Mode.

For your first playthrough, feel fre to select Easy mode, as there are no difficulty-related trophies. Also, you needn't worry about the collectibles right now, as they'll be easier to find in your second playthrough with the Map-O-Matic, if you wish to avoid backtracking.

However, be mindful of the four misable trophies. These include the Safecracker trophy for completing all 16 Trespasser puzzles without using AutoHack (these can be backtracked to, as long as you avoid hitting the Square button to AutoHack), the Not My Job trophy for allowing the extermibots to kill 35 amoeboids in Rilgar, the When Sheep Fly trophy for sheepinating a Blarg helicopter commander, and the Death By Disco trophy.

Regarding the Death By Disco trophy, you'll need to use the Groovitron on all 48 types of enemies, so use it as often as possible. Your progress will carry over in the Challenge Mode playthrough, allowing for a second chance with any missed enemies.

Finally, make sure to spend time leveling up those weapons to unlock the Master Of War trophy, to save time on farming later.

After your first playthrough, it's time to do it again on Challenge Mode. All your stats and collectibles will carry over, with the exception of story-related items. This is your chance to mop-up any missing trophies from your last playthrough, so be sure to check out the Ratchet and Clank trophy guide links under our Links tab to see what you're missing, and their requirements.

Completing the game on Challenge Mode will unlock the Challenging trophy, and hopefully the Platinum if you've followed this roadmap.

Resistance 2 Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Resistance 2 Trophy Guide. Difficulty: n/o  A first-person shooter taking place during an alien invasion occurring in the midst of WWII. Since the servers were shut down in March 2014, the online trophies, and therefore the Platinum, are now Not Obtainable.

Resistance 2

Like its predecessor (which does not have trophy support) Resistance 2 is a first-person shooter, taking place in an alternate universe where an alien invasion occurs during the midst of WWII. Following the story of Resistance: Fall of Man, Nathan Hale is picked up by SPRA soldiers and brought to a base in Iceland, which is soon attacked by the Chimera. Nathan must lead an army of Chimera-virus-infected soldiers to both the East and West side of the United States, and hold back the alien attack.

Resistance 2 includes 11 online trophies. Unfortunately, the servers to the game were closed on March 28, 2014. As a result, the 11 online trophies - and therefore the platinum trophy - have since become Not Obtainable.

Since the online servers were closed on March 28, 2014, the 11 online trophies - and therefore the Platinum trophy - are now Not Obtainable. However, the game still contains 27 offline trophies, so if you're still interested, then read on.

If you're in a rush, start the single-player mode on Difficult. Clearing it will unlock the Superhuman mode, which will need to be completed in order to gain the OMGWTFBBQ trophy.

Although keep in mind there are several other challenges throughout the single-player game to unlock trophies, such as Snipe Hunt, Master Spy, etc. which may be easier and less distracting if first playing on Easy.

Note: All kills are counted through all playthroughs. In fact, if you find a good spot to use, for example, the sniper for unlocking the Snipe Hunt trophy, simply kill as many as you can until you're out of ammo, kill yourself and do it again until you've gotten the appropriate 30 kills. Collecting all the single-player trophies in Resistance 2 is not much more difficult than, say, the Uncharted series. Check out the Resistance 2 trophy guide links under our Links tab to see which offline trophies you still need and their requirements.

Unfortunately, with the online servers closed, this is as far as we can go.

Story-wise, walkthroughs are not particularly necessary for clearing the game, as for the most part you're just heading from A to B and shooting everything in your way. But they are necessary for collecting all the Intel.

Resistance 3 Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Resistance 3 Trophy Guide. Difficulty: **  A first-person shooter and continuation of the sci-fi Resistance series. The Platinum is far easier than the previous installment with no online trophies to worry about.

Game Name Difficulty Trophies Developer Country Bronze Silver Gold Online DLC

Resistance 3

Resistance 3 is a first-person shooter, set in a sci-fi post-apocalyptic genre. The game takes place in an alternate universe, in which aliens have invaded Earth during World War II. Also included is a 16-player competitive multiplayer, and both an online and offline co-op mode.

Taking place four years after the events of Resistance 2, Joseph Capelli has been dishonorably discharged from SPRA after executing Nathan Hale, and is currently suriviving in an underground outpost with his wife and child. After the outpost is evacuated due to a Terraformer, Capelli decides to accompany Dr Malikov to New York in an attempt to stop the Chimera once and for all.

Resistance 3 received positive reviews, with an average score of 84% for its overall suspense and excitement.

As you can tell by the 2-star rating, this Platinum is far easier than its predecessor. If you've managed to collect all the offline trophies on Resistance 2, then you would have had the Platinum by now on Resistance 3.

Aside from two co-op trophies, which can be played with a second controller, Resistance 3 has no online trophies. Requires two full playthroughs, one of them on Superhuman difficulty, and using a chapter select to mop-up. Overall, depending on your FPS skills, expect around 30 hours to complete.

What you'll want to do first is start on Normal playthrough. Along the way, follow one of the guides in our Links page to locate all the intel for the Archivalist trophy. Also, there are several chapter-related trophies which you can earn, as well as working towards the kill-related ones. If you don't collect them by the end, it's no problem. There's always a chapter select to mop-up anything you missed.

After completing Normal, you will have unlocked Superhuman mode. Your next assignment is to get through Superhuman difficulty, for the Brutal trophy. This will probably be your most difficult trophy.

After that, it's simply a matter of using chapter select to mop-up anything you're still missing. Check out the Resistance 3 trophy guide links under our Links tab for specific details to whatever trophies you need.

Ratchet and Clank Future A Crack in Time Trophy Guide

Ratchet and Clank Future A Crack in Time Trophy Guide. Difficulty: *  An action platformer in a sci-fi environment, and part of the Ratchet & Clank series. The Platinum is fairly average in both difficulty and time required.

Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time

Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, known as Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time in Europe, is an action platformer in a sci-fi setting, and the third installment in the Ratchet & Clank series. Players use an assortment of weapons to attack enemies, solve puzzles, as well as fight in starship combat.

Following the events of Quest for Booty, Clank has been abducted by the Zoni and held in suspended animation. Ratchet must help save his friend, while stopping Dr. Nefarious and a cyborg mercenary named Lord Vorselon from taking control of the Great Clock.

Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time received very positive reviews, with an average score of 89%. The game was praised for its visuals, overall entertainment, unique time puzzles, and considered by many critics to be the best title in the series thus far.

The difficulty is about the same as any other Ratchet & Clank title, though a bit more time consuming, hence the 2-star difficulty rating. Two playthroughs are required, one on Hard and one on Challenge mode, as well as a chance to mop-up remaining trophies.

Expect around 25 hours for the Platinum.

You'll need to complete the game on Hard mode, in order to unlock Challenge mode. In which case, we recommend skipping Casual and Medium, and going straight to Hard. But don't worry, it's not that hard.

For the most part, you can simply play through the game up to the end without worrying about anything. For the sake of convenience, you can work on some of the weapon-related trophies, and collect Zoni in order to unlock planets along the way.

Once you've defeated the final boss at the end of Hard mode, DO NOT start your Challenge mode yet. Instead, select to return to the point before the final boss. This is your chance to free roam, and collect all the other trophies. If you wish, you can even change the difficulty setting mode to Casual to make things easier.

Once you've collected all the trophies with the exception of Glutton For Punishment, it's time to for your second playthrough, this time on Challenge mode. Create a new game save, and start working through the game. Luckily, you'll still have all your weapon upgrades, which should make this run not too difficult.

Ratchet and Clank All 4 One Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Ratchet and Clank All 4 One Trophy Guide. Difficulty: *  A sci-fi adventure with four-player co-op, and part of the Ratchet & Clank franchise exclusive to the PlayStation. Requires only one playthrough and some mopping-up for the Platinum trophy.

Game Name Difficulty Trophies Developer Country Bronze Silver Gold Online DLC
Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One * 45 Insomniac Games U.S. 34 6 4 2 0

Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One

Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One is a four-player third-person action-adventure platformer that takes place in a sci-fi setting with cartoon-like visuals. The game takes place after A Crack In Time, though is considered a spin-off of the Future series.

Ratchet, Clank, and his friends team up with their old nemesis Dr. Nefarious, when they face against Ephemeris, the Creature Collector, who takes dangerous creatures from parts of the universe for unknown reasons.

Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One received very mixed reviews, with an average score of 74%, both praised and criticized for the four-player co-op feature, praised for its overall fun level, and criticized by some for being too much of a departure from the original series.

If you've played any other Ratchet & Clank titles, you'll be familiar with the fact that they're fun and none too difficult, and All 4 One is no exception. The platinum involves one playthrough, with some mopping-up and a bit of grinding for a million bolts afterwards. While the game is designed to be played co-op, it's possible to unlock everything so long as you have a second controller. The two online trophies are just for playing online, and don't require boosting.

Overall, the Platinum will take you between 18-20 hours.

Since there are no difficulty-related trophies, feel free to select Normal for your playthrough. For the most part, you can just play from beginning to end and enjoy the story. The game is designed to be played as co-op, and so if you have a friend or two, plug in an extra controller and have fun. While it's easier and quicker playing co-op, and will help you net some trophies, it's not necessary.

After you've finished the story, you can use the Mission Select to go back and mop-up anything you missed. Most likely, this will include The First Million Is Always The Hardest trophy, which requires having 1 million bolts. This is not accumulative, which means you should work on collecting this many bolts and unlocking the trophy first, before going for upgrading all your weapons. Simply replay and grind the higher, more difficult levels to get the required number of bolts.

There are two online trophies: Waiting Room and Connected. You'll unlock the first simply by heading into the online lobby, and the second once the game starts. A PSN Pass is required, which is included with the game if you purchased it new.
