Dark Nero Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I would give it a 3 to 5 out of 10. As depending on the player it could take them 3 playthroughs or more. For myself I needed 3 playthroughs as the first run you can obtain 36 trophies effortlessly. 1 run is needed for Angelic Qarma 1 run is needed for 10-30% Quarma, and the final run for below 10% You will also achieve the kills trophy within the three playthroughs. This is not a very hard game at all. Your first playthrough will be 6 hours and then 4 hours afterwards when you rush though without saving anyone, so roughly 15 hours required for platinum.

Lifearmor Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Not a very hard game to finish, since you can die as many times as you want with no penalty to you. Some trophies are annoying to get, though. Most likely you'll cuss out 'Hopping Mad', with which you have to complete the entire game without using wheelchairs. I think that two runs are needed for the plat. See, I finished on Angelic Quarma today, and got the trophies for 30-95% and 95%+ Quarma. So if you finish the game with below 10% Quarma, I believe you get remaining two ending trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InTheBushes321 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I'd give this a 4/10. It's looking like it'll simply be a lot of clean-up, which is tedious, but not too difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuromancer1968 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I voted 3. There is nothing difficult in this game at all. I would have wrapped up the platinum in about 3 days if it hadn't been for 'I Regrow Nothing'. I am absoultely sure that I didn't re-grow anything in the my first playthrough but the trophy didn't pop. I needed a third run just for that trophy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtimusPrime Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I voted 3/10. There's nothing really difficult about this platinum, it just requires some additional thought to make sure you don't miss any of the trophies. Rescuing everyone requires patience and some of the levels will need more thought than others, but overall, this is a fairly easy platinum.

sixfingers Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Voted 4. 'I regrow nothing' made it feel harder than it was. Had to do two bad playthroughs and four good playthroughs, my own fault. My advice; read the guide carefully! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitzu38 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 3/10 Very easy platinum and a very good game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugsrule88 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 3/10 This game is easy to platinum as long as you take your time, if you try to rush through you'll only make it harder for yourself by constantly getting yourself killed and the creatures you are trying to save. The quick save/quick load features also makes this game a lot easier by being able to instantly save before you attempt a hard part in the game and if you failed you can instantly load you quick save to try again.

jdh0921 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) I gave this a 3/10. The only part of the game that was hard for me was the Loading Docks where you had to kill the 8 Vykkers on the platform with only Munch and his Zap Vendo. And it wasn't really hard, just time consuming since you get basically infinite lives to do it. That said, one of the best things you can do is play this game in small doses. Encountered many screen freezes (including during the end video on my 2nd playthrough) and overall bugginess. The Dead River level was especially glitchy for me, but anything starting with and after Mudokon Fortress was pretty bad.

yourdog23 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I've beaten it 5 times. 4 of those times (including < 10% quarma run where I saved 6 in the Boiler Room) I did not regrow shrubs outside of Rainsin's Cave. That trophy wouldn't unlock for me, even though I wiped my saves and config data between each play. If it glitches that often for me, I can't rate this as a possible plat. 10/10. If it weren't for that glitched trophy, a 3/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PratikH Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) Gave it a 4/10... 3/10 in terms of difficulty and 7/10 in terms of time required. This is a long game and requires at least two playthroughs. Most of the trophies can be gotten through the roadmap and aren't that hard. The only ones that you'll stress over are the quarma trophies. Go for perfect angelic quarma in your good run (310/310 rescued) and go for nearly demonic quarma in your evil run (12/310 rescued). Of course, the "I Regrow Nothing" trophy bugged out on me and didn't pop even though I know I didn't regrow any spooces. My suggestion is to really familiarize yourself with what it looks like when you regrow spooce (in the first level where regrowing is allowed): 1. The chanting motion will be different (arms will be raised when chanting to regrow spooce, hands will be clasped like you're praying when chanting to possess enemies). 2. When regrowing spooce, the chanting will automatically stop, even if you don't stop holding L2/R2 down. When possessing enemies, the chant will not stop until you let go of L2/R2. 3. You must be facing a spooce schrub to regrow it. You can't just regrow a spooce shrub while facing away from it. Be careful though... sometimes there are spooce shrubs on the side of a cliff that you might not see. 4. If you do accidentally regrow a spooce shrub, DO NOT choose "restart level" from the main menu. The game will auto-save your spooce regrowth when the level reloads. Instead, reload a previous save or the game's auto-save at the beginning of the level. Or just quit to the XMB if you're paranoid about it. 5. If there are things to rescue in an area that has a lot of spooce around it, rescue them first before getting all the spooce. Otherwise you'll have to use a menu command with L2 or R2 while surrounded by spooce shrubs. Edited August 12, 2013 by PratikH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdh0921 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Heya m8, I like your write up, very helpful to new players of this tedious game. One thing I think needs to be clarified: and go for nearly demonic quarma in your evil run (12/310 rescued). The 310 isn't really accurate in the Demonic playthrough. Because you don't play the last two levels, you don't get a chance to save the eggs / fuzzles n scrubs in that level. Think there were 89 possible in those two levels. So really it is 12 / 221. Think some get confused by then when they wonder why they miss the Demonic Gabbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talon501 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I gave it a 3 Not a hard game at all, just a little time consuming. Really got a kick out of the bad ending. Thought that was cool as could be. Watched it 3 times just for laughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadedxspawn Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 With the annoyances and glitches this game had -- it really wasn't too difficult trophy wise. And I imagine with the patch some of the more difficult ones for some might be easier, so I voted 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heir Apparent Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) I rated it a four, although I was tempted to go higher, just because of what an unenjoyable chore I found it to be. Easily the weakest Oddworld game - a tedious, bug-ridden bore, with dreadful controls and camera. It was very satisfying to finally remove this from my HDD, after waiting over a year for the patch.

Jerry Appleby Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I gave this a 7 because of the glitchy regrow trophy. It took me 7 runs of the game to get the trophy!! The rest of the trophies were easy though, if it weren't for the regrow trophy, I'd give the game a 3-4. So glad to be done this pos game!!

PedrinCapo Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 This was a 2 for me. I'd voted a 10 only for the f*ckin glitches... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archavia Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 3. Nothing to it really, aside from working around the patch to get I Regrow Nothing and the Possession trophies. Only part that was properly frustrating was that damn tower in the 3rd last level where Munch had to jump up and kill the 6 Interns and 6 Vykkers.

PersonalHolloway Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 This one isn't so hard, 3/10. For some trophies you just have to pay attention so that you won't miss anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skizzo Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Voted 4. Without glitches it would have been a 3. I had 2 playthroughs and some grind for Slig Subterfuge. The game isn't hard, but you will learn how to manage some areas. the camera and controls are so poor, but it's still a 15 years old game...

joshwith Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I gave it a 3, it's not hard, but it can be annoying. I experienced no glitches, but I did have to do a third playthrough due to barely missing the requirement for bad quarma when I didn't realize I messed up on the third level.

JAK-KRIEG Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Gave it 4/10 - fairly easy but the I regrow nothing trophy glitched for me and that is why it's not a 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sellers Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 3/10, nothing too difficult but I did make a stupid mistake on my angelic run so had to revert to a back up, thankfully not glitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
