Sackboy Is A Deceivingly Hard Platinum

Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a fun platformer, but you may easily mistake its soft and cuddly exterior for the tough Platinum trophy it has. Dylan discusses why he can’t earn it, and the frustrations the game has caused him this past week.

Dylan also discusses The Pathless and its Platinum trophy, playing Devil May Cry 5 for the first time and how much he misses the PS Back Button while playing Apex Legends. Dylan and Ashley also tried out the PS5 Share Screen feature for the first time and discover it’s a solid addition to the consoles many abilities.

We also have an EXCLUSIVE unboxing to start this week’s show. Make sure you don’t skip that!
