Platinum #267: Slyde

Hey there!

1000 Top Rated is finally back in the store. Now, it’s called Slyde, looks a little bit different and is even easier than 1000 Top Rated. You can complete the game within 1 minute!

What is the game all about?

There isn’t much to say about Slyde, as it is a tile-slide puzzle. You can choose between various pictures and 3 difficulties (Easy, Medium and Hard). The higher the difficulty, the more tiles the picture will have. Your goal is to put the tiles into the right places within a given amount of time.

What about trophies?

In this game, you don’t have to worry about trophies at all. All you must do is to finish one puzzle on medium difficulty within a short amount of time. This will automatically unlock all trophies.

Simply follow the instructions shown in the below video by IBadDriverI and you will unlock the Platinum Trophy within one minute.

Where can I get this game?

Slyde is currently available in the EU PSN store only. I think it will also appear in the NA store soon, but I don’t believe that it will get an additional stack.

If you need PSN cards, you can buy them at play-asia.comor at scdkey.com. There you get digital codes, which will be send to you via e-mail within minutes.

As a trophy hunter, should I get this game?

Absolutely! It only costs 1.19€ and you shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes to finish this game.

Hard Facts:

System(s)	PS4
Trophies	1P, 11G, 2S, 0B
Points	1230
Trophy Stacks	1

ASRock unveils AMD-based Phantom Gaming graphics cards

The cards will use the RX 500 series of GPUs

ASRock hinted a couple of weeks ago that it would soon be muscling in on the graphics card business, and today it made the move official, unveiling a new lineup of Phantom Gaming display adapters based on AMD's Radeon RX 500 series GPUs.



"ASRock finally expands into the graphics card field," CEO LL Shiu said. "We are happy and proud to team up with AMD, our strong and reliable partner, and of course we look forward to bringing out more interesting and competitive products in future."



Phantom Gaming cards will be available in four flavors to start: The 2GB/4GB Radeon RX 550 and RX 560, and the 8GB Radeon RX 570 and RX 580 models. All four cards will offer DisplayPort (3x on the 570 and 580 models), HDMI, and DVI outputs, and promise "excellent overclocking capabilities," with dual ball-bearing fans and an "extra-large copper-base aluminum alloy composite heat pipe-equipped heatsink design."

"The new ASRock Phantom Gaming Series, based on the powerful Radeon RX 500 Series graphics cards, will provide gamers the best of Radeon features and performance which will include FreeSync, the ultimate technology for smooth and stutter-free gaming, Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition for seamless streaming, sharing and gameplay capture now with mobile device functionality, and Radeon graphic's highly optimized DirectX 12 and Vulkan performance," Radeon Technologies Group VP Scott Herkelman said.



ASRock didn't say when the new cards will come to market, but a rundown of individual card specs (subject to change), capabilities, and included software is available at asrock.com. There's also no word on pricing, though there's hope that by the time these arrive, the cryptocurrency fueled shortage will finally be over. Fingers crossed.

Platinum #266: Claire (PS4)

Hey there!

Claire is another game I would have never touched if it wouldn’t have been free for PS+ members. But I will skip the Vita stack as this game really sucks.

What is the game all about?

Claire is a 2D horror survival similar to The Coma: Recut.

You take control over Claire, who visits her sick mother. After you return back home, you go to sleep and wake up in the middle of a nightmare. It’s your task to survive this madness and to do everything to wake up. During the game, you will encounter a dog, who will become your friend and will follow you through this nightmare.

Most of the time you’re only running from one room to another to proceed with the story. From time to time you will encounter other person, which you can save by fulfilling their tasks. You will also encounter creepy creatures, which will follow you. Every time you encounter such a creature, Claire’s panic level will raise and you’ll lose some health. Luckily, there are a lot of items you can use to replenish health.

The game is full of rooms and hard to see doors. Thus, it’s quite confusing and you can easily get lost. The only things I liked about this game are the awesome pixel art and the soundtrack, which fits perfectly to this game.

What about trophies?

There are only a few trophies but most of them are missable and annoying. Like finding all butterflies or picking-up over 80 items. There’s also a difficult related trophy for beating the game on the highest difficulty.

If you download the EU PS4 version (V1.04), you can unlock the Platinum Trophy very easily due to a glitch, in which you can change the difficulty from normal to nightmare near the end. This glitch has been patched in the NA PS4 version (V1.20), which forces you to play the whole game on nightmare.

This glitch doesn’t work on the Vita version of this game. Furthermore, there’s also a bug which forces you to pick up all collectibles on easy and then do another playthrough on nightmare, as there aren’t enough items on nightmare difficulty.

If you want to get this game done as quickly as possible, follow this video walkthrough by my buddy IBadDriverI. This video is made for the EU PS4 version. For all other versions, you can use this walkthrough from psnprofiles.com.

Where can I get this game?

Claire is available digitally in the EU and NA store. It’s cross-buy (PS4 + Vita) and each system has its own stack.

If you need PSN cards, you can buy them at play-asia.comor at scdkey.com. There you get digital codes, which will be send to you via e-mail within minutes.

There are also physical versions from limitedrungames.com for PS4and Vita, but these are sold out already. If you’re interested in them, you must try your luck on eBay.

As a trophy hunter, should I get this game?

It’s worth to play the unpatched PS4 version but I wouldn’t go for the Vita version.

Hard Facts:

System(s)	PS4, Vita
Trophies	1P, 9G, 6S, 0B
Points	1170
Trophy Stacks	2 (PS4 & Vita)
Difficulty	2/10 (unpatched PS4), 4/10 (patched PS4 and Vita)
Time to Platinum	2-3 hours (PS4), 4-6 (Vita)
Number of Playthroughs	1 (PS4), 2 (Vita)
Fun Factor	4/10

Yours,

AvengedEvil
