GameCorePR editorial estimate: 4/10. Replayable chapters and combat challenges; no missables.
PLATINUM ROADMAP
- 01 / Choose your difficulty
Plan one campaign run of roughly 20–25 hours. No trophy demands a high difficulty or multiplayer. Chapter Select lets you recover missed items and challenges; the base campaign has 22 chapters.
- 02 / Explore as you advance
Check each chapter map and its counters before leaving. Track 24 demon toys, 26 Codex pages, 32 Demonic Essences and 48 Mission Challenges. Pin active challenges. Pick up gold, rubies and Wraithstones for upgrades. Weapon skins and every secret are not Platinum requirements.
- 03 / Build your upgrades
Spend resources at Sentinel Shrines on all base shield, rune and melee upgrades for Berserker. Fully upgrade the 11 weapons that offer a Mastery Challenge, then complete each one for Gunpletionist. The Crossbow does not have a mastery challenge.
- 04 / Finish the story, then clean up
Beat the final chapter on any difficulty. Use Chapter Select and its counters to locate unfinished challenges and collectibles. For combat Masteries, replay an encounter with many durable demons, then check your progress in the Challenges menu.
- 05 / Check the current patches
Bethesda says the PlayStation Berserker unlock issue was resolved July 8, 2025; Update 2 also addressed a Demonic Essence checkpoint problem. Keep the game updated. If a trophy remains missing, verify its counter and PlayStation trophy sync before replaying.
