For somePlayStationusers, Trophy hunting is a legitimate hobby. Though many PSN users will ignoreSony’s achievement systemcompletely, those that care about the system can be very passionate about expanding their collections. While breezing through easy Trophy games can help players increase their Trophy counts, and difficult Trophies can be pointed to as something to be proud of, players looking for an enjoyable hunt with a proper payoff also have a few options.
As always, January 2023 brought its share of big new game releases for players to enjoy, and as expected these games featured Trophy lists forPlayStationfans to work on. The essential PlayStation Plus games also provided their fair share of satisfying Trophies to collect, and hunting for them should be an endeavor that results in a smile or sigh of relief once finished.

In RPGs liketheFalloutfranchise, leveling up a character is a major gameplay hook, andFallout 76is no different. While it will take some work, players that hit level 100 for “Fallout Forever” will likely feel some satisfaction, as the Trophy is a clear symbol for how much time they have spent with the game. Being at ground zero of a nuclear blast is sure to be memorable, and since nukes are a late game activity, “Ground Zero” is a satisfying Trophy to get. One other Trophy that fits this description is “Pioneer Scout,” as exploring enough to unlock 100 fast travel locations should make getting around the map quickly a lot easier. In turn, the moment-to-moment gameplay will be more satisfying once this Trophy is unlocked.
Not only doesStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderfeature somefunny PlayStation Trophies, but it also gives its players some rewarding ones to work toward. For instance, having a fully grown terrarium for “Green Thumb” will see players needing to find 10 different plants throughout the game. They then have to wait for them to grow, making for a time-consuming task that players will be working on for a long time. Finding all of BD-1’s Stim canisters for “Medical Droid” is similarly satisfying since it requires a lot of effort. Combat-wise, there are some rewarding Trophies to work on, like precision evading 100 times for “Can’t Touch This” and killing an enemy with their own blaster bolt for the “What Goes Around…” achievement.
For fans of indie games,Axiom Verge 2offers somechallenging Trophiesto work on, but also a few satisfying ones. All the “100%” Trophies for collecting items are enjoyable grinds, while completing the game without beating any large bosses for “Pacifist” is a rewarding experience. Similarly, beating the game in 6 hours or leas for “Overclocked” is a fun challenge, even if it is not very difficult to do.

EA Motive’s phenomenal remake ofDead Spacehas a couple satisfying Trophies to collect. For starters, getting the Mastery Service Override for “Full Clearance” is definitely rewarding, as players can then go back through the USG Ishimura to unlock several locked crates. Finding all the Marker Fragments forDead Space’s alternate ending and the “Reunion” Trophy is also satisfying, as it makes New Game Plus worthwhile. Lastly, there is “Maxed Out,” which is arguably the most rewarding Trophy on the list. To fully upgrade Isaac’s entire arsenal, players will need to collect a majority of the nodes across two playthroughs, buying the rest from the shop. Considering how much effort this takes, “Maxed Out” is absolutely a rewarding achievement.
ThoughForspokenis a divisive gamedue to what many have dubbed “cringe” dialogue and storytelling, the game does have a few satisfying Trophies to collect. For instance, beating the four Abominations for “Abominizer” is quite the feat, as they are the toughest enemies in the games. Though they are not overly difficult, taking down such powerful enemies is a good way to display how far Frey and the player have come from the start of the game. Befriending all the Tantas’ familiars for “Cat Person” is also satisfying, as they serve as one of the cutest forms of collectibles out there. ForPlayStationfans who consider themselves completionists, upgrading all the spells to get “Above and Beyond” and unlocking 80% of the Archive for “Archivist” are both rewarding activities.
