Schim — Trophy Tactics
The good news for PS5 and PS4 trophy hunters is that
Schim is a more interesting game if you want to unlock its platinum trophy.
While most players will likely find themselves frustrated by
Schim’s expansive level design, the developers have cleverly turned this into a minigame for trophy hunters by hiding special objects to collect somewhere in the game’s many sprawling levels. You’ll need to find all of these objects to unlock the gold ‘Collector’ trophy, one of the game’s most rewarding side objectives.
Trophy hunters will also have to beat all of
Schim’s levels at least once with “Extra Jump” turned off (meaning you lose the ability to hop once in the light between shadows) and with “Risky Mode” turned on (meaning you have to start the level over if you miss a jump). These challenges transform the relaxing stages into deadly platforming gauntlets, making the game vastly more engaging to experienced players.
Plus, a generous level select feature makes jumping between each challenge and keeping track of your collectibles a breeze, so props to the designers for really thinking about this side of the game. These features might quietly contribute to the messiness of the main game experience, but they certainly do help make for a solid trophy hunting experience on PS5 and PS4.
