The Walking Dead: A New Frontier Episode 3
Another month passes us by and Telltale Games has treated fans to episode three of The Walking Dead: A New Frontier. Following the turbulent events of the double episode premiere back in December, episode three continues to follow Javi, Kate, Clementine, and the rest as they begin to uncover a little more about the New Frontier.
As is standard with Telltale Games’ episodic games now, episode three has six trophies up for grabs – three bronze, two silver, and a gold. Even better, all you have to do is complete each of the episode’s six chapters to unlock them. You don’t need to worry about making certain decisions or keeping people alive. Just play through the game however you like and make whatever decisions you want to along the way. Simply play through all five of A New Frontier’s episodes and you’ll grab yourself a shiny new Platinum trophy, too. Telltale Games really knows how to keep trophy hunters happy.
Mass Effect: Andromeda
Mass Effect: Andromeda’s galaxy is teeming with quests for players to complete and NPCs to converse with. As such, making your way to the end of its seemingly endless amount of content can become a pretty lengthy ordeal. Fortunately, adding all of its trophies to your collection, including the platinum, will be relatively straightforward. As long as you’re willing to put the time in, that is.
Andromeda’s PS4 trophy list may initially seem daunting with its 56 extensive trophies covering much of the game’s story. However, if you’re enjoying the journey, chances are simply by playing through the game naturally, you’ll tick off many of its trophies along the way. You may need to put in a bit of extra time in order to grab the Unwavering trophy – requiring players to complete an “Insanity” single-player game, or five “Gold” multiplayer extractions – but other than that, there’s nothing too tricky to catch you out.
Plus, other than one multiplayer trophy which requires players to complete the multiplayer tutorial, you won’t have to rely on online play to grab that precious platinum trophy. As long as you’re willing to put the hours in, Andromeda is a fairly straightforward platinum to grab.
Ghost Recon: Wildlands
March 2017 also brought the PS4 a new open-world co-op title from the folks over at Ubisoft. Ghost Recon: Wildlands sends players to Bolivia as they attempt to tackle the country’s crippling drug problem by taking down the cartel and corrupted government. If you enjoyed The Division, you’ll find the loot-heavy focus and tactical shooting gameplay reminiscent of Ubisoft’s 2016 hit title. Though, for the optimal experience, you’ll want to grab some friends and hop online.
Ghost Recon: Wildlands has 44 trophies that require players to complete a variety of different challenges. Fortunately, actually grabbing all of these is incredibly straightforward, especially with the help of some guides for those pesky collectibles trophies. As long as you’re prepared to do plenty of waypoint journeying and put in about 75 hours, you shouldn’t have many issues on your way to grab the platinum trophy.
The trophies that may cause you the most trouble in Wildlands are those requiring you to unlock all skills and maxing out your XP and levels. These will take some additional grinding once you’ve completed Wildlands’ story, so grab some friends to help you track down collectibles and pick off enemies along the way to make the grind a little less lonely.
We do need to give you a word of warning, though. There have been a number of reports from players who have found that some of the trophies regarding gun models just won’t unlock. While this hasn’t affected everyone, you might want to back up your save file just before popping one of these trophies (if possible). That way, you can always reload if something doesn’t seem to work and try again.
