1. Platinum trophy, Horizon Zero Dawn +DLC
Not going to lie, had to knock down the diffculty to deal with the last few fireclaws and some of the hunting grounds challenges, but by the time you've got the shield suit and the improved DLC weapons, the main portion of the game is barely a challenge anymore. Might take a break and see what's on sale before dealing with the new game+ mode.

NG+ is basically 1 extra slot on all gear for mods and some new weapons with those extra slots. If you have the original versions, you can get the upgraded ones on NG+.

I knew I suck at these games normally so I ended up doing 3 playthroughs I think? The first on normal and I did everything. Then on casual NG+ to get all the new armor and mods and get a stealth set + the shield armor ofc. Then I did a NG+ Ultra Hard for that trophy and did the bare minimum of things to do it.

The miniboss before the final boss, killed me at least 30 times before I killed him on Ultra Hard. I was so defeated by that point, but the final boss only took me two shots luckily.

I still haven't finished the DLC or ultra hard for forbidden west yet.

1. Legend of Zelda: Windwaker HD - I played this on gamecube and hated it as a kid because of how the ocean part was handled with collecting the pieces. It was a slog and was not clear. I ended up beating it years later, but I wanted to play it again with the HD version and I really like it as a Zelda game now. The ocean part is a slog still, but extra features made it less painful. The combat was obscenely easy (never used a fairy once and had 12 hearts total at end of game) because of the parry system, but the puzzles were a lot of fun. If it were not for the grindy aspect and mostly trial and error of finding places (they REALLY want you to do all the islands), it is a fun fun game.

I'd give it a 7/10.
