Its finally that time of the week! A new set of top 10 Videogame recommendations, only this time we are going to talk about games that can net you the platinum trophy within minutes or perhaps at least one hour.
10. Piece Out
Piece Out drops you into simple jigsaw-style puzzles, and the Platinum is exactly as gentle as you'd hope. Drag pieces, watch the picture come together, repeat. It's the kind of low-stakes puzzling you can do with the TV on in the background, and the trophy list never asks for more focus than that. This game also comes with avatars for your psn. This is a complete a puzzle style game.
9. 20th Century Beauties PS5/PS4
This one's firmly in "click through, sit back, collect trophies" territory. There's no real challenge lurking anywhere in the experience it's built from the ground up to be a quick, breezy addition to the collection rather than something you'll remember the mechanics of a week later. This is a complete a puzzle style game.
8. Dunk Trickster
Dunk Trickster is about as honest as shovelware gets. All you need to do is flip a basketball, over and over, and the trophies tick off cumulative milestones as you go. No skill ceiling, no difficulty spike, just repetition until the Platinum lands in your lap.
7.Nyakamon
A cute, cat flavoured little game that keeps things light and simple. The kind of pick up and clear title that fits perfectly between two heavier games on your backlog, with a trophy list that rewards you for just poking around and seeing what's there.
6. Coffee Talk PS5/PS4
A genuine step up in quality from most of this list Coffee Talk is a cozy visual novel about brewing drinks and listening to your customers' problems. It takes a bit longer than the true five minute specials here, but the story is charming enough that you would find yourself enjoying the music while creating drinks, and the trophies mostly follow naturally from playing through it. This would take you more than 1 hour since one trophy needs 1 hour to unlock
5. Stroke the Animal Series
Exactly what it says on the tin. These are about as stripped down as trophy hunting gets minimal interaction, minimal expectations, maximum trophy per minute ratio. Beware for this game you would need to buy them individually.
4. Unpacking
Another quality outlier on this list. Unpacking has you quietly pulling belongings out of boxes and arranging a life across several moves, and it tells a surprisingly touching story without a single line of dialogue. It takes a little longer than most shovelware, but the Platinum follows naturally from simply enjoying the game as intended. Pro tip turn off the highlight if wrong and just place everything down on the ground if you don’t really want to place them in the so called correct area
3. Emily Live Show Anime Puzzle Game
An anime styled puzzle title that leans into the same "watch, tap, progress" formula this whole genre runs on. It won't challenge you, but it's colourful, easy on the eyes, and gets the job done fast. This is a complete a puzzle style game.
2. Last Stop
A narrative adventure that's more substantial than most of what's on this list, following three interconnected stories in London. It's a longer sit than your typical fast Plat, but there's nothing mechanically demanding about it just follow the story, make your choices, and let the credits roll you into a Platinum.
1. Road Bustle Online
Closing things out with a light driving/traffic title that keeps the mechanics simple and the trophy list forgiving. Nothing about it demands precision or practice just get through the traffic and let the trophies stack up.
