6. Night in the Woods
Infinite Fall
PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox One, Switch
Released February 21, 2017So originally, I wasn't going to buy this game until it went on sale on PS4, but when I found out Tiny Metal wasn't all it was hyped up to be, I took the money I was going to spend on that and bought Night in the Woods instead. It was definitely a great decision.
Night in the Woods tells the story of Mae, a college dropout who comes back to her home of Possum Springs to reconnect with her old friends, finding out how much has changed since she left. The highlight of the game is the story and the characters, and it's presented in a way that makes you want to explore and find all there is to do in this small town. I always appreciate trophy lists that go the extra mile to have you look for extra dialogue, similar to how Grim Fandango Remastered did it. Night in the Woods follows suit, putting practically every extra event (except the ones added in the Weird Autumn update) connected to at least one trophy. Even the extra roguelike game on the computer has two trophies tied to it. It's a great way to make everyone go the extra distance and find all the game has to offer, and this game really rewards you with its extra scenes.
So far, I've only done Gregg's route (and I'll freely admit that Bane's Discord avatar factored into this decision). I'll definitely go through again on Bea's route and then try to get the other trophies for the platinum as well. There's a lot of extra events that I have yet to see and I'm excited to find out what is still in the game. My only problem with the game is that third song in the band practice, I still can't seem to get the hang of it, even with all the rhythm game experience I have. I'll try again in the 3rd play through since in the 2nd I'll be failing them all for another trophy.
