![]() The Little Acre is well crafted point-and-click adventure, presented with fully hand-drawn animation and a beautiful soundtrack, and produced by Charles Cecil of Broken Sword fame. Trophies: 28, Time to Platinum: 1 hour, Price: $12.99/£9.99, Walkthrough (opens in new tab) Once you've landed on a planet and defeated the French colonists already there by throwing a frog and cheese at them (again, really), you can raise the Union Jack and celebrate a fast Plat. To grab all the Trophies in one playthrough you'll need some manual saving, to complete certain challenges in more than one way – for example, there's a hatch that Captain English is too portly to fit through, and you need to alternately lubricate it with washing up liquid to squeeze through, and hop on the treadmill to shed a few pounds. After withdrawing from the European Union, the Queen takes over the country and establishes SPIFFING (Special Planetary Investigative Force For Inhabiting New Galaxies), launching the quintessentially middle class Captain Frank Lee English and Welsh Sub-lieutenant Aled Jones into space onboard a refitted Big Ben to establish a galactic British Empire. If you like British stereotypes and lots of jokes about Brexit, then this is the point-and-click adventure for you. Trophies: 26, Time to Platinum: 1 hour, Price: $18.49/£14.99, Walkthrough (opens in new tab) ![]() Finally, you need to complete both endings to the game – with some save manipulation you can do one after the other, but even if you do two complete playthroughs it should only take around an hour. There's also a set of Russian dolls to destroy, as well as a couple of items that must be set on fire. There are a number of collectibles to look out for including diary pages, family photos, plus various other bits and bobs, and you'll need to find all of them on a single playthrough for one of the Trophies. Although the game is compatible with PlayStation VR, you can just play it 'normally' which I'd recommend if you're following a walkthrough and don't want an old crone occasionally screaming in your face. Loosely based on the film of the same name, Don't Knock Twice is a first-person horror adventure in which you try to protect your daughter from a demonic witch who has taken over your house and is trying to steal her away. ![]() Trophies: 29, Time to Platinum: 1 hour, Price: $19.99/£15.99, Walkthrough (opens in new tab) Each decision leads to two more binary choices, resulting in a total of 12 different outcomes, and if you're economical then you can collect them all in a couple of hours. Here you have three choices – strap on some barrels and jump in the sea, don't strap on some barrels and jump in the sea, or just hang out in the whale's belly with the ghostly girls you meet there. After exploring your home village and setting sail, you'll soon find your ship being swallowed by a whale in classic folklore style. Acting as the storyteller, you need to guide your three bearded, husky fisherman through a series of encounters spanning Scandinavian folklore, in what is essentially a Choose Your Own Adventure-esque branching narrative which ends where it begins to run on a constant looping journey. With its striking visual style, beautiful a cappella soundtrack, and cheeky sense of humour, there's much to love about Burly Men At Sea. Trophies: 25, Time to Platinum: 2 hours, Price: $9.99/£7.99, Walkthrough (opens in new tab) If you're having difficulty, the levels are randomly generated so keep trying until a simpler layout is produced. The only Trophy that offers much of a challenge is for collecting all 36 fragments and returning to the start in under six minutes, though once you've got the hang of the double jumps it shouldn't be too problematic. You'll also need to expire while carrying 1, 35, and 36 fragments in your possession, which is a somewhat frustrating requirement. Most of the Trophies involve dying, so you'll need to meet your demise at least once on each of the spikes, saws, and laser traps punctuating the levels. ![]() You play as Midnight, a small white square who must collect, you guessed it, 36 fragments at the behest of some slightly sinister looking furballs. There are many questions you'll ask yourself while playing 36 Fragments of Midnight – who are those hairy creatures you're helping? Why is there a timed challenge when each level is randomly generated? Is that really the entire game? Mercifully you don't have long to ponder these thoughts, as you can blitz through this basic platformer in around half an hour.
