Here's a clip of when I earned the Platinum Trophy in Tomb Raider on Playstation 3. Read more...

I saved a simple trophy (Feather Duster; where you must "Kill and loot 10 flying animals (crows and gulls).") for last so I could record it.

The PS+ freebies just keep on comin', haha. This wonderful edition to the Tomb Raider games is a prequel to the other games. You play as a young Lara who is in the early stages of her adventurer lifestyle. The point of this story is to, basically, establish how Lara became the "tomb raider" we know and love in the other TR games.

The story plot was just okay for me, but the way Square Enix put it all together really delivered a fantastic single player experience. There's a nice mix of cinematics and gameplay. The game plays fairly linear; however, you can sort of free-roam in the different areas to locate collectibles and such.

The game has 3 difficulty settings, but there are no trophy requirements related to them so you can play on whatever difficulty you like and simply enjoy the experience. The trophies were all straight forward with only a small handful of potentially missable ones... i'm looking at you "Chatterbox".

The multiplayer was pretty fun - even with the very limited number of game modes. I was pleasantly surprised to find the servers quite populated so long after release (thanks again PS+). The grind to level 60 was a bit much, but I had some good company along the way. Thanks for all your help Rowdi and brendo :)

Platinum Difficulty: 3/10
Overall Enjoyment: 8/10 - dropped due to long mp grind
