Wow, what a ride. In preparation for the DLC drop, I had a NG++ run still going. I promptly played up until the point where you can enter the DLC and played through it all. It was a struggle at times and I had to turn down the difficulty for some bosses, but the DLC felt rewarding nonetheless. Loved the additions to the story and the subtle changes in the main game's story telling after having finished the DLC.
Going into the NG++ playthrough, I only had a couple of trophies to check off for the platinum. The only two trophies that were left were the trophy you get for (spoilers) giving peace for Sophia, returning to the hotel after the final fight, and finding her letter on Geppetto's desk for the trophy, and the Free from. the Puppetstring ending.
Smart as I was back when I planned out all the steps required for the platinum, I just remembered that I can get all the humanity I want in the game as long as I don't give peace to Sophia, so I can get the Free from the Puppetstring ending. You see where this is going, right?
This happened yesterday, and realising was I've just done, I started another playthrough :D
Just finished it without giving the DLC another go because I was slowly feeling a little burnt out on P and didn't want to force myself through it again. Plus, I'll have an incentive to play again should the urge overcome me.
Here are some stats and figures:
-
In total, I've played through the game four times on this save file and could, theoretically, start the fifth one.
-
I've reached the leveling cap for two stats
-
I've seen all three endings on this save file, including a duplicate true ending
-
My favourite weapon by the end was a certain DLC weapon you get from the "first" boss. Love it to bits
-
In total, I've played through the game 7 times I think? Three separate playthroughs on my jailbroken PS4. Because I loved the game so much, I got it for PS5 too in preparation for a possible DLC
-
This was the first time I've ever purchased a game or DLC as fast as I did when the shadow drop was announced :]
Here are a couple more screenshots:
Love the game to bits, but I'm afraid it's goodbye for now. I'm sure I'll go back in for another run some day. Until then, I've got other soulslikes to play.
Thanks for reading and take care :) π¦
