11 PS4 Features to Be Thankful For This Year

Trophies

The trophy system that Playstation has used since the early PS3 days is a fantastic way of tracking your progress in a game. Dividing your in-game conquests into Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum lets you know just how impressive your feats are. And the recent addition of seeing how many other people managed to secure the same achievement makes collecting hard to get trophies that much more rewarding.

They aren’t necessary to enjoy a game, but it’s always nice to have extra goals to work towards. And amassing a collection of platinum trophies lets everyone on your friends list know just how much of a completionist you are. There are never enough trophies to collect, adding to our already massive collections with each new game release.
