Just something I thought about after playing Crash Bandicoot 4, the platinum relics are no joke. Devil May Cry 5 is pure insanity and I'm never touching that. I've done Sekiro but it's not that hard once you know the bosses, just need to grind through all the endings and items. Pure time investment.

Devil May Cry 5
The first thing you're probably wondering is why this platinum is a 10/10 difficulty. What makes it so challenging is that you must gain S-Ranks on Hell and Hell difficulty. Hell and Hell difficulty means you die in one single hit while enemies have the same amount of health as in Son of Sparda (which is 4 times the health they have on Human difficulty). If you take only a single hit it will void the S-Rank since you lose the no-hits and no-continues damage. Furthermore, the game grants you only 3 retries per mission. You can't revive with red orbs or your gold orbs like you do on lower difficulties. If you die 3 times you have to replay the mission from the start, there are no checkpoints. To get an S-Rank the only option is to not take a single hit. To make things even worse, you aren't allowed to use the Infinite Devil Trigger unlock because it reduces ranks by -80% and makes S-rank unobtainable. Enemies not only have much more health and kill you instantly, they also attack faster, more enemies spawn, stronger enemy types spawn earlier in the game. Even just beating Hell and Hell is hard enough but doing it without a single hit is a true challenge. Without Hell and Hell you can still earn 82% trophies which will be the endpoint for most players and takes about 30 hours to do. If you go for platinum there's no telling how long it will take since it's entirely skill dependent. On top of that, you must repeat the S-Ranks on all other difficulties except Heaven or Hell.
- Estimated trophy difficulty: 10/10 – among the hardest platinums
- Approximate amount of time to platinum: 60 Hours+ (entirely skill dependent how many tries you need to S-Rank Hell and Hell difficulty, rest of the trophies are doable in 30 hours)
Crash Bandicoot 4
Crash Bandicoot 4 features 43 levels (5 of which are boss levels and 38 are Normal Levels). The 38 Normal Levels each have a Platinum Time Trial Relic (=Speedrun) and N.Sanely Perfect Relic (=Get All Clear Gems, except Hidden Gem without dying). There are also 21 Flashback Levels, which you unlock by collecting the Flashback Tapes in Normal Levels without dying. Additionally, the 43 main levels must all be replayed in N.Verted Mode (this mirrors everything horizontally left/right and changes the graphics colors). Some levels must be replayed in different timelines with other characters. There's a lot to do and you'll have to absolutely perfect every level, earn every Relic and get 106% game completion for doing everything possible in the game. It's a highly skill dependent platinum.
- Estimated trophy difficulty: 9/10
- Approximate amount of time to platinum: 50 hours+, it's entirely skill-dependent (depending on how many replays you need for the Relics)
Sekiro
The platinum for this game wants you to get 100% completion: see all endings, beat all optional bosses, and find all upgrade items in the game. It's an open world and you can fast travel between areas at any time. Search all areas carefully for there are many upgrade items to be found. If you get stuck with a boss or don't know where to go, refer to the full Walkthrough. If you missed out on anything you can do it in New Game+. After beating the game for the first time it will transfer your collectibles, unlocked skills, upgrades etc. over to the next playthrough.
- Estimated trophy difficulty: 7/10
- Approximate amount of time to platinum: 50 hours+ (depending on skill)
