PS4: 15 Hardest Platinum Trophies Nobody Unlocked

13. Pure Evil - The Evil Within

At first, getting a platinum trophy on The Evil Within doesn't seem like that difficult of a challenge. Sure, you've got your classic treasure hunts and time-trials, but nothing that seems too crazy.

That is, until you realise just how infuriating and unforgiving the game's hardest difficulty level, Akumu mode, actually is. Not only does everything in the game now kill you in one hit, but entire levels have been remixed to make the playthrough that bit more unpredictable.

Because not only are enemies tougher and more frequent in numbers, even their placements in levels are completely different on Akumu mode, meaning that whatever knowledge you gained in previous playthroughs is rendered completely useless in the face of this new challenge.

Throw in traps that weren't there previously and the aforementioned one-hit kill rule and you're in for plenty of broken controllers if you're stupid enough to brave the hazardous road to The Evil Within's platinum.
