The HARDEST Platinum Trophy I Have EVER Attempted 

That beginning scene with Toshi, and the camera panning over the sword is a phenomenal foreshadow

You just introduced me to a new game to add on my list. This game looks so beautiful and visually striking. I believe I’ve read somewhere that the game was made by an animation studio, which explains why the cutscenes look like an animated film. I’ll definitely have to check this game out.

This game is so underrated. Amazing combat, visuals, and music. I'd say its at its best on the harder difficulties, as it forces you to learn and use every ability to survive, making it feel more complex. Definitely a game I will replay every year or so.

RESPECT!! I fully played this game once. I started on normal difficulty which I found quite hard but it wasn't untill the second main boss (the woodsmith with the furnace in the middle of the room) that I almost rage quitted the game because I could NOT win from her. Luckily I realized you can ajust the difficulty while playing, so I set it to easy and finished the game. This game is HARD. Even on normal difficulty!

I picked Kena because I read everywhere that the game was about 8 hours to beat, so it was supposed to be a weekend project. It took me more than 20 to reach the final boss! And the bosses were definitely harder than the ones on Bloodborne or Elden Ring haha.

A detail I loved and can be missed the first time around is when you leave the cave at the very beginning you come across a shape on the ground that looks eerily like the spirit of the mountain. It's much more noticeable on the second playthrough once you know more about the lore.

One of the most beautiful games I've played. Master was brutal and I tried it on NG+ with all my skill already unlocked. You're a masochist

Currently binging this entire video series. Very entertaining, keep up the good work!

This looks like an absolutely amazing game, thanks for sharing your time with it! I also want to add, I know a lot of people will see the Japanese influences here, but there’s a lot of South-East Asian influence as well, especially in the music! Several of the boss fights feature what I believe is Indonesian gamelan ensemble, including the Warrior fight! It sounds like a cascade of brass bells, really beautiful stuff

This game is so beautiful and well made. I would love to see more videos like this. Good work on getting the platinum!

I've come to really enjoy your commentary during your videos. I feel you give just the right amount of info, and then move on. Look forward to more of your videos!

Ok but, I didn't expected to cry with this video, like the scene explaining what happened to Taro, was really sad and then the scene of his younger siblings hugging him is really moving and sweet :')

Fantastic game! Though I really didn't have an issue with platinum at all, I'm glad this is bringing more light to an awesome story and beautiful game

Good stuff brother! Never would of thought this game would be so hard just by the look of it. So happy you got it finished, awesome Platinum to the collection. Can't wait to see what's next! 🏆🔥

This game looks so beautiful 😮 Awesome video as always😊

Great video, subscribed. Your pause at the double mage part was me! Had me laughing then. I struggled in the woodsmith for ages couldn’t get my head around it. Great video really enjoyed it.

Been binging all your videos. Your commentary is really great and I even put on your videos in the background sometimes since I've already played most of these games! :)

I absolutely love this game. It greatly inspired me to do challenge runs since I cannot stop playing this game.

I LOVE this game! I played it over a year ago and 100% it on regular difficulty. Even then it was hard, but so satisfying once you feel comfortable with movement and combat skills. I still plan on playing it again to get the two trophies I missed (Return to Sender, and of course defeating on hardest difficulty).

oh man this is such a pretty game with great characters and great animation and beautiful environments to explore and a great story to tell - one might even assume it's geared towards kids as it kinda has that vibe and look - but then you get to the boss fights and it just goes full hard ass dark souls no mercy nothings explained rage quit inducing psycho mode on you . kudos on the plat - that's some zen shit right there.

Great job. I love that beating difficult games essentially require two stages: first just rough repetition, grinding fights over and over and over until they are almost muscle memory. Then when you've done that, you usually come back a little more relaxed or rested or you're hit with a little bit of luck and you get it. But yeah, that first stage can take a long time, dozens or even hundreds of repetitions.

I just finished my playthrough of this game, and I wanted to love it, but I couldn't get over all the jank I encountered 😭 I did play it on pc, so maybe that was the issue. I can't believe you plat on the hardest difficulty! Great job and amazing video! Just stumbled in here, but I'm def subbing :D

Great video. This game kicked my ass back when it came out. :) But I like the visuals and the soundtrack is one of my favorites in the last few years. :)

Im happy to see your sub count jumping up, you got a good thing going here with the introspective platinum gameplay, keep up the great work, and youll soar.

what a nice video! congrats for the plat too

Very underrated game! more people shouldve talked about it imo. But congrats on the platinum! I outright refuse to go for platinums that require the hardest difficulty since I specifically play games to NOT be stressed out 😅😅

This game is pretty good. I got to play it on ps plus and had a great time, though I never tried the super hard difficulty. Kudos to you for the well earned platinum 👍🏾

Got this platinum as well, it was pretty hard. Ever tried getting all the trophies for A Hat in Time, DLC included? That is for me, the peak of difficulty trophy-related and challenge-wise.

Great video mate, high quality and very well made. Glad I found the channel, subscribed. Now, excuse me while I binge watch your previous videos!

Your Videos are so entertaining, you deserve so much more Subscribers

you need way more subscribers and views, this is top quality content. Keep it up

I did the exact thing you did by modding the pc game at release in order to be able to play on Master on the first playthrough. Man, it was extremely fun!!

I got the platinum. It was one of my hardest as well. That master difficulty isn’t a joke but I figured out patterns and eventually beat it 🔥🔥 feels soo good

I'm so stuck on Corrupted Toshi, well done on completing the platinum challenge 👍😊

Watching this takes me back. This game was something special. Soooooo hard though!!!

great video as always! I'm defiantly going to plat this one in the future

Amazing video. Love the way you show how you progressively get better at the game and figure out more mechanics. Great editing and voice work too. Also a great game I might have to play through it myself now!

I'm new to your channel but definitely here to stay! This was such a fun journey and Kena is such a gem of a game to play and im glad it's getting more love. If you do take game recommendations I would say The Pathless could be an interesting game to Platinum, definitely not as long or as difficult as Kena but it shares some similarities and I personally really enjoyed my time playing it and it can be a more relaxing change of pace with tons of collecibles, rich story and beautiful art. Another game with a similar vibe and artsy feeling is Concrete Genie, also a simple and fun experience I'd love to maybe see a video about.

Loved this game! 🤗 Though a bit short. But it also showed me that I am no longer very good at platforming as I was as a kid 😅 I thought the platforming was quite difficult and frustrating.

I loved this game ! Tbh … I glitched the platinum trophy . But it definitely would’ve meant more if I actually tried to play the whole thing on hard mode

Gotta respect those insane platinum hunters 😂

10:49 the purple guys were really hard to deal with. their purple arrows have a pretty big radius and the always knock you off the platform

Mad respect for learning how to parry, I just gave up at one point... Also I'm surprised you found Taro so easy! For me it was the hardest boss of the entire game

Started with Golum vid from you, this is good stuff. Thanks.

absolutely love this game and I'm thinking of going back to it very soon

Damn I never gave this game a chance because it looked like a kids game.. but I’ve reconsidered and will be playing it, cutscenes look like a movie!

A youtuber from my region played this game and i saw it had good graphics and interesting mechanics.. So i got this game and god i dont regret one bit... It was such a nice experience... I enjoyed every bit of it... I enjoyed it so much I completed everything there is in the game

Congrats, I really enjoyed this game got the platinum in the first 2 weeks.

Such an overlooked amazing game

Mad respect for this. I played it last year and didn't even bother with the hard mode. I had difficulty even with medium. Even with new game plus on hard mode I wasn't gonna bother cos I just don't have the time or care to go for it.

I love this game. Great video, sis!

Watched 2 mins of this video and went off to play the game. Worth it

This game gives off so much jak n daxter vibes and Im all in for it

This is the game that made my channel gain a lot of traction and I really wanted to get the platinum but my nerves couldnt take it lol.

The fact that you finished the game in Master without a full health bar and less than 50 rots, is amazing! I did Master and consequently go the platinum in NG+ , which introduces new enemies and boss' mechanics, that rises the difficulty bar, but then I decided to finished it Master in plain NG. I thought it was the right to do and it didn't disappoint!

This was such a fun game. I hope they make more games.

You did well by going right into Master. NG+ is a nightmare on Master, bosses have an extra phase where they regain up to 80% of their health and become way harder. The Warrior actually was the worst, with 3 samurai enemies that spawn mid fight (i believe they're exclusive to NG+) and it gets ridiculous. I miraculously beat that after a couple hours (or more). And a lot more enemies and chaotic encounters appear throughout the world.

Man... You made me remember how utterly beautiful, yet infuriating this game was. I beat it prior to the massive update and only played it on normal, but man the end game was still rough even on that difficulty. Even with having done literally everything before playing the final boss. All meditation (prior to the final one), all rots, all abilities. Still rough as hell. All in all, still a gem I would recommend to anyone. Such a great experience!

I’m currently replaying on the master difficulty but it’s a new game plus and I get twice the boses as you. Yours look easy, I might just start a new game because I’m haft way to the game and it’s ridiculous how many enemies are spawning all at once.

What a beautiful game...

Man. Even on lower difficulties this game can be pretty tough. Can’t imagine doing it on master spirit mode like this. Just a truly tough challenge.

Really great game. Decided to glitch for the platinum though. Just could not be bothered to deal with Master difficulty

You should do crash 4. I’m sure you know that it’s really hard, but it isn’t unmanageable and the game itself was really well made. While frustrating, it was super rewarding and felt kind of like a rite of passage into trophy hunting for me.

Waaaaaaaaaaah watching the brother meet with his siblings again still gets me.

I do not care too much for trophies, certainly not for platinums, but this is one of the few i’ve got. Bought the game day one btw. Good stuff, thanks mate. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This is a game worth playing. It's not great in most ways but at least pretty good and solid in every way. The amazing and colorful graphics is awesome but sound design is just perfect

That’s crazy man, I felt like this platinum was really simple. Idk if my past experiences with similar combat styles games like Ghost Of Tsushima helped, but it never felt too difficult

I absolutely loved this game. I started it on PS5 and then replayed on PS4. Since I already knew what to do the second platinum playthrough was 14 hours

Might have to play this one

Bro I love your content so much, so fresh compared to other platinum creators, also I just completely platinumed The Last Of Part 2, got the grounded and permadeath trophys. You have seriously inspired me bro made love. Also you should try to platinum Days Gone really fun game to platinum and great game in general. I played through the whole game on my channel, it's so fun.

Yoo wassup love the vids, def an inspiration for my channel!

Great video! Just want to point out that with the free DLC you can have unlimited combat encounters by doing the trials in the village

Yeah I plat this a year or so ago before the update to do it in 1 playthrough. I really like the game and the hardest difficulty almost makes the game a Souls game with how you have to memorize what the enemy does when you inevitably die

Amazing game, and amazing platinum

I loved this platinum it was so much fun

It took me about 4 days to defeat the Shrine Guardian boss in Master difficulty, its very hard but worth the deaths even with the smallest battles for a beautiful game. I confess that on my main account I did Master legit, on my second account I used an exploit to get the trophy - I didn't want to go through it again.

Completely forgot how incredible this game looks, GG on platinuming this basically the hardest way possible haha!

i played kena a couple days ago and got the platinum trophy with glitching my way through the master difficulty😂 it's was such a beautifully amazing game. loved it so much. and fun fact, it was the first souls-like game I've actually finished.

I got tje platinum trophy a long while ago. This is one of my favorite PS5 games so far and i loved it. It felt like a Disney animated movie.

I made a video about this plat recently as well. I took the other route of doing a normal playthrough and then a Master playthrough on NG+. I wish I had done it your way; Master NG+ Corrupted Woodsmith was the hardest boss I've ever fought.

I love this game so much that i obtained the platinum trophy without any issues plus i enjoyed the process too

Nice work on getting the plat on 1 run.. boss mode ! I did it in two runs.. loved the game, though hated the final boss.. hope if/when they do a sequel they don't do something like that again. Otherwise, fun ann surpringly challenging game.

Surely is a great game. I just Platinumed it on the PS4 2 days ago. Looking forward to doing it a second time on PS5 😂

I'd really like to see you try and plat Alien: Isolation. Pretty fun plat with only about 3 or 4 semi-grindy trophies. *if* you do decide to do it, don't use the Stun baton for the "Mercy or Prudence" trophy, because it counts as a kill I learned the hard way. Great video on Kena, too.

It sees like you would've saved yourself some big headaches if you knew that the little guys that explode can be killed by simply pulsing, making any fight that spawns them as a major threat almost trivial. You can also pick up courage by pulsing, so you don't have to go anywhere near the courage drop comes in handy 99% of the time.

watching this while playing on master. thats the only trophy im missing!

This was probably my game of the year when it first came out. I really hope we see more from Kena.

such a good game ... only having the rots following around with their cutes hats is reason enough to play it

I hate hate hate the parrying system in this game so much 😭🙏🏻 just bc you have to hold L1 instead of just clicking it, this messes me up so bad and I can't get the hang of it, the timing is so hard.

i loved this game when it came out on pc, and i will play it on ps5 soon

30:55 that boss literally had me exclaim COOL

Love the way you Sabotage yourself not getting the powerups that you"ll collect anyeay later

V happy I never have to play this game again after getting the plat, literal torture

As much as this game made me bite into my desk. it was absolutely beautiful.

fighting reminds me of Beyond Good and Evil (game scared me as a child) but has a good story

Great video

I got the platinum when this game released so I had to do 2 runs which I wasn't that excited about. So I just beat the game on normal 100% and then I did half the game on master and tried to finish it with speed runs strats. something I didn't think would be hard at the time. in short the speed runs for this game are insane

Jealous that you got to play Master difficulty on the first playthrough. I was not ready for the difficulty spike when I did my NG+ on Master. Thanks to another RU-vidr, FuzzyBearbarian, I was able to see what I needed to do for the boss fights and build up my execution. Took awhile, especially the last boss fight buy it was so worth it.

Make me kick my feet back and fourth every time I see u post Tehehehe

I think I've heard you say "This is one of the hardest fights of the entire game" like 30 times no joke LMAO
