Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag PS4

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is an action-adventure open world which mixes the historical genre with sci-fi, and is the sixth installment in the Assassin's Creed series, and a sequel to the 2012 Assassin's Creed III. Black Flag is also the first of the series to appear on the PlayStation 4 as well as the PlayStation 3.

Set in 18th Century Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy, Edward Kenway - the grandfather of Assassin's Creed III's Ratonhnhake:ton, is a privateer-turned-pirate-turned-assassin, who is attempting to uncover a consipracy between the Templars and their dealings with the British and Spanish empires. These memories are unearthed by an unnamed player character who is hired by Abstergo Entertainment using samples from Desmond Miles' body.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag received positive reviews, with an average score of 89%, for its beautiful graphics, ability to revitalize the series, and overall fun gameplay.

Considered easier than Assassin's Creed III, Black Flag has your standard offline trophies which can be unlocked during the free roaming phase after completing the story. There are 6 online trophies, the most time consuming being Committed To The Cause in which you must reach level 55 in multiplayer. But aside from requiring some time, all of them are doable without needing any boosting.

All in all, you can expect around 35-40 hours of gameplay for this platinum.

If you've played any of the previous Assassin's Creed titles, then you'll know how this roadmap works, which is essentially in three stages.

First, simply play through the story from beginning to end. There are no missable trophies, so you can just enjoy the story and not worry about purposely unlocking anything. Eventually, you will need to get 100% synchronization in every main mission. But by the end of the game, your player-character will be fully upgraded, making this easier to do later.

Once you've finished the story and have entered the free roaming series, here you can mop-up all the other offline trophies you still need. Check out the trophy guides in our Links page for further details. This will also include, if you haven't yet done so, getting 100% synchronization.

Once that's finished, you can head into multiplayer and collect the last remaining 6 trophies. For the All Rounder trophy, a good idea would be to keep track of all the weapons and abilities you've been using, to avoid any confusion afterwards. Also, in order to reach level 55, it's possible to boost in private sessions. If you're looking for a Boosting Buddy, check out the forum we've posted under our Links tab.

Assassin’s Creed Revelations Trophy Guide PS4

Editorial Team

Difficulty: ** A port from the original 2011 version on the PS3. Average difficulty with no online trophies.

Assassin’s Creed Revelations PS4

Assassin's Creed Revelations is the fourth game in the Assassin's Creed series, and a direct sequel to Brotherhood, completing the Ezio trilogy. It is a third-person action adventure with stealth elements, and features all three of the major characters in the story - Desmond Miles, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, and Altair ibn-La"Ahad. The game was originally released on the PlayStation 3 in 2011, and ported onto the PlayStation 4 in November 2016 as part of The Ezio Collection.

After the events of Brotherhood, Desmond Miles has fallen into a coma due to the stress of being forced to kill Lucy Stillman. He is transported to New York and placed into the Animus by Rebecca Crane and Desmond's father. After awakening on Animus Island, Desmond meets the consciousness of Subject Sixteen, who guides him in reliving his ancestor's memories in an attempt to separate him from Ezio and thereby awaken from his coma.

Like Assassin's Creed games in the past, Revelations received very positive reviews, with an average score of 82%, and has been named by some critics as the best in the series thus far.

While the PlayStation 4 version of Assassin's Creed Revelations includes the Lost Archive DLC as a requirement for the Platinum, the online trophies have been removed. As a result, the Platinum for this game isn't as time consuming as its PS3 version. However, now that the Impress Warren Vidic and Cross Styx Without Dying trophies have been included as a requirement for the platinum, this difficulty rating is a high 2-star, as these two trophies can be quite challenging and frustrating - though still doable with enough trial and error.

Expect roughly 30-35 hours for the platinum, depending on your skills.

NOTE: The Trophies on the PS4 version have a separate list than those on the PS3.

The Platinum can be obtained in three steps: playthrough, mop-up, The Lost Archive.

Like the original Assassin's Creed: Revelations on the PS3, there are no missable trophies. So you can enjoy playing through from beginning to end, collecting any trophies you like. Once the story is finished, you are free to roam about, where you can mop-up anything you've missed.

Afterwards, there are The Lost Archive trophies, which were originally a separate DLC on the PS3 version. Play through all seven memories, and if you wish to save time, follow one of the walkthroughs in our Links page to locate the decipher fragments for the Find All Pieces trophy. After that, just reload whichever memory you're still missing a trophy on. This will probably include both the Impress Warren Vidic and Cross Styx Without Dying, which will take many, many tries. Check out the video demonstrations in our Links page if you're having trouble.

Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood PS4

While not the official Assassin's Creed 3, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is the third installment in the series, and a direct sequel to Assassin's Creed II, continuing the story of Ezio Auditore de Firenze and Desmond Miles. The game was originally released on the PlayStation 3 in 2010, and ported onto the PlayStation 4 in November 2016 as part of The Ezio Collection.

The game, like its predecessors, is an action-adventure with sandbox playstayle and stealth elements, and is the first in the series to possess a multiplayer feature.

After escaping the Templar's attack, Desmond hides out in the ruins of the Villa Auditore, along with Lucy, Rebecca and Shaun. There, he again takes control of Ezio Auditore using the Animus 2.0 an dhis genetic memory, in order to locate an artifact known as the Apple of Eden, believed to stop the impending disaster orchistrated by the Templars.

The game received high praise by all critics across the board, with an average score of 88%, won best Action Adventure game in the 2010 Spike TV Video Game Awards, and nominated for 7 British Academy Video Game Awards in 2011.

While the PlayStation 4 version of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood includes the Da Vinci Missions DLC as a requirement for the Platinum, the online trophies have been removed. As a result, the Platinum for this game isn't that much more difficult than Assassin's Creed II.

Expect roughly 30-35 hours for the platinum, depending on your skills.

NOTE: The trophies on the PS4 version have a separate list than those on the PS3.

Like Assassin's Creed II, you can - for the most part - simply play the game from beginning to end without much worry. There are, however, 2 missable trophies: Mailer Daemon (involving accessing your e-mail in 2012) and Dust To Dust (finding the artifact in 2012). Both of these trophies can be obtained after Sequence 2, but MUST be collected BEFORE Sequence 8. Once those two are out of the way, simply continue playing without any worry towards the end.

With the main story completed, you can move onto the Da Vinci Missions, which were originally part of a DLC on the PS3 version, and are now a requirement for the platinum on the PS4 version.

After the game is complete, you can now mop-up all remaining offline trophies in the free-roam stage. Check out the trophy guides in our Links page for further details on these, as well as locations of collectibles.

Assassin’s Creed II PS4

Assassin's Creed II is a third-person, action adventure game, blending science-fiction with historical drama. It continues the story of Desmond Miles in the year 2012, who is being forced by Abstergo Industries to reveal his genetic memories. The game was originally released on the PlayStation 3 in 2009, and ported onto the PlayStation 4 in November 2016 as part of The Ezio Collection.

Continuing immediately after the first game, Desmond breaks out of Abstergo Industries through the help of Lucy Stillman, a mole in the company, and taken to a safehouse where he is requested to use their own Animus to uncover the memories of another assassin, Ezio Auditore de Firenze. Similar to the first game, the story switches between Ezio and Desmond.

Unlike the first Assassin's Creed, the second builds on fighting techniques and challenges, engrossing the player further into the game - rather than feeding everything in the beginning, then simply repeating the same challenges over and over. The sequel has been hailed as a far superior to its original, and received average scores of 91% by most online gaming magazines.

Not an overtly time-consuming platinum. Many trophies are story based, a few are simple challenges, while others - such as Sweeper - require a bit more effort. Although many you may even stumble upon by accident.

The In Memory of Petruccio trophy requires you to hunt down and collect all 100 feathers around town. This can take a bit of time, but as long as you follow the guides in our Links page, you shouldn't have to spend too much time.

Overall, a very average 2-star rated Platinum.

NOTE: The trophies for the PS4 version are separate from those on the PS3.

The platinum should be obtainable in one playthrough. What's nice about this game, is that once you've completed the story (and collected a good majority of the trophies along the way) you can still continue running around, collecting things and buying upgrades and paintings.

So, start by playing through the game without much worry. The only missable trophy is Fly Swatter, in which you need to kick a guard over the edge while using the flying machine in Sequence 8. This is fairly easy to do, and if you don't get it, simply crash yourself and try again.

Once you've completed the story, simply mop up any trophies you missed.

Shaun White Skateboarding Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Shaun White Skateboarding Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ***  A skateboarding game and the third installment in the Shaun White series. Fairly average in terms of time and skills required for the Platinum, though the 12 online trophies are difficult to achieve without boosting.

Shaun White Skateboarding

Shaun White Skateboarding is a skateboarding game, and the third in the Shaun White series. Players can perform over 80 different tricks while competing in challenges and narrative missions across the city. The game includes two-player split-screen, as well as online multiplayer with up to eight players.

Shaun White Skateboarding received lukewarm reviews with an average score of 68%, praised for its soundtrack, though criticized for being a mediocre skateboarding game in terms of graphics and gameplay.

Shaun White Skateboarding includes 12 online trophies. Given the age of the game, as well as the fact that the online servers seem to be region-locked, finding people to play with - and then being able to unlock the trophies - is quite difficult to do legitimately, hence the 3-star difficulty. However, if you have a boosting partner, all 12 online trophies can be attained within a few hours. With a boosting partner, the difficulty for the platinum could be brought down to a 2-star, as the offline trophies are not particularly difficult.

With a boosting partner, expect roughly 25-30 hours, and far more if you're attempting the online trophies legitimately.

Shaun White Skateboarding doesn't require much of a roadmap, as there are no missable trophies. However, if you're in need of some direction, we recommend beginning with the Story. For the most part, just worry about playing through from beginning to end, learning all the controls. Though you can be on the lookout for the 35 challenges, collectibles, and things that can be converted such as billboards, restaurants, objects, and citizens. This will simply save you some time later on in the mop-op phase, but is not necessary at this point.

Next, there are the Shaun White Challenges. Some of these can be a bit tricky, but for the most part, it shouldn't prove to be too challenging in getting the gold medals in all of them.

From this point on, you can either mop-up any offline trophies you still need, or head into online multiplayer to unlock the 12 online trophies waiting for you. The online servers seem to be region-locked, which means your luck at finding people to play with will depend on who is online in your region/country. If you're having trouble doing these legitimately, check out the boosting forums under our Links tab. You only need one other player to unlock all the online trophies.

Good luck!
