4. Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered

Next up on our list of the best games for Platinum Hunters, we have Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered. Now, this is a game that perfectly encapsulates everything great about being Spider-Man. This can be seen in everything from how the player interacts with the world and characters, as well as the gameplay. There are few games that have perfectly captured the Spider-Man experience quite like this. Additionally, the game features many trophies that players can attempt to collect throughout their playtime.

Among these trophies, are Platinum trophies, which are the penultimate reward in the game. For novice Platinum Hunters, however, you will be glad to know that accomplishing this task isn't that difficult for this title. As many of the game's trophies can be obtained passively throughout a single playthrough. This will become a trend with other entries on this list as well. Players should pay attention to events going on throughout the game, as to complete them, and in turn, get the trophies. Doing so will ensure you another Platinum trophy to add to your collection.

3. Grand Theft Auto V

One of the most massive, and yet straightforward Platinums that players can obtain is the Grand Theft Auto V Platinum trophy. This is completed mainly by completing the main story, as well as open-world content. Seeing as the world of Grand Theft Auto V is so vast and enjoyable, this can be done rather easily. That said, however, the journey toward platinum can take quite some time. This is often due to players getting distracted, or not performing certain actions at certain times.

However, there is plenty of information out there on how to effectively Platinum the game. Players who wish to make this journey should be aware of the length of time that will go into it. The journey to obtain the Platinum trophy can take as long as one hundred and fifty to two hundred hours for some players. Obviously, this varies based on the player and their willingness to stay on task. But all in all, Grand Theft Auto V is one of the most fantastic PlayStation games for Platinum Hunters to enjoy completing.

2. Horizon Zero Dawn

For our next entry, we have a title that will keep the Platinum Hunters busy throughout their playthrough. Horizon Zero Dawn is a game in which players play as Aloy, and they must hunt, fight and survive, all the while learning more about eh world around them. Along the way, there will be plenty of opportunities to partake in challenges throughout the game. These include things such as the Hunting Grounds, which are essentially challenges that test your hunter's mettle. This is great, as it not only gives the player something to strive for but is implemented in a way that simply makes sense.

Obtaining the Platinum for the game is relatively straightforward, however. Players must go throughout their journey, and complete all the side content in the game, as well as more skill-based content. In doing so, they will unlock the Platinum for the game. It should be noted, that players can receive the Platinum for the base game, but they will also have to complete the Frozen Wilds DLC in order to get the true Platinum. To close, Horizon Zero Dawn is one of PlayStation's best games for Platinum Hunters.

1. Nier: Automata

For our last entry, we have a title that might take quite some time to Platinum. With its multiple endings and scenarios, Nier: Automata is a masterpiece of a game. That said, completing all of the content in the game can take quite some time. However, if players remain focused and work their way through the game, and complete all the side content, as well as subsequent playthroughs, they should be fine. This makes the title one that can take forever to Platinum. Or it can be Platinum'd rather quickly, this ultimately comes down to the player.

That said, the challenge is one that is well worth it, and it will definitely feel good to complete. Plus, with such a fantastic combat system in the game, it should come as no surprise that the journey to Platinum is very fun. This shouldn't discourage newer Platinum Hunters from trying the game out, however, as it is certainly attainable. So, if you are someone who considers themselves somewhat of a Platinum Hunter, make sure you check out one of PlayStation‘s most unique games.
