1. Do not vote unless you have played the game.
2. Do not vote until you have dedicated a substantial amount of time towards the game.
3. Do not vote based solely on the descriptions from the trophy list.
4. A time consuming game does not necessarily mean a difficult game so vote accordingly.
5. Voted time should be based on your own personal time spent working towards the platinum.
6. Do not vote based on "fastest possible run", but rather your own experience in playing the game.
7. Voted time should be in-game time spent, from first starting game to achieving the platinum.
8. Vote with honesty and integrity.

Difficulty is 4/10 for me but I'm not very good at physics-based gameplay so don't let that dissuade you from trying. A 4 for me is probably a 3 for most gamers.

 

My save file says 10 hours 34 minutes, which doesn't seem right at all, it felt a lot longer. I did 2 playthroughs, one in newtonian mode and 1 in assisted to do the challenges. You can try doing the challenges in newtonian mode to save time but good luck with that lol

There's an exploit (refined from the one by SenseiGoku7) that makes it easy to achieve the Newtonian challenge on each mission:

 

- Start the mission in Newtonian mode
- Go to the report computer and get the mission card (might not even be necessary)
- Switch to Assisted mode
- Compete the mission without changing back to Newtonian mode.

Basically, as long as the "Complete mission in Newtonian mode" doesn't say "Restart mission", you can complete the mission and still earn the challenge (even if not in Newtonian mode). I confirmed this in a new save in level 1 and expect it to work on other level. The only thing to be aware of is that you need to quit the game before starting the next level as the difficulty mode is saved (meaning if you finished level 1 in Assisted mode and start level 2 immediately, it will automatically start in Assisted mode, voiding the challenge).

This makes the platinum much easier and quicker.

7/10  difficulty and 10 hours for me, I didn't know about the Newtonian exploit before I finished it - 2 playthroughs I don't think it's possible to get all the challenges done in the Newtonian mode. I got the Platinum on PS5 - confirmed the above SenseiGoku7 exploit works - must restart game after every mission.

 

Overall, I did enjoy this torture of a game after finish playing the Dark Picture Anthology games, needed something different plus this game was for free on PS Plus.
