Everyone with a PlayStation 4 (or PS5) knows that the way to level up their account is by gaining trophies. Certain games can be completed while players barely earn a single trophy; in other titles, most are unmissable. Some games make their trophies extremely hard to get, but one thing is for certain — if someone does manage to grab every bronze, silver, and gold trophy that a game has to offer, they'll be given the coveted Platinum trophy, which will advance their level the most.
Ranking The 25 Best Offline PS4 Games
Players don't need to go online to have a good time. These are the best PS4 games that can be enjoyed while playing offline.
Some people consider themselves trophy hunters and pride themselves on their literally thousands of achievements. Some people don't care. But if a player would like some Platinum trophies on their accounts and are struggling to get them, here are some games that'll make it really easy (along with some that are fairly easy and still extremely enjoyable).
Updated February 20, 2025 by Mark Sammut: More specifications have been added for the PS4 games with the easiest Platinum trophies, along with updated percentages for the PSNProfiles completion rates. Furthermore, a new puzzle game has been introduced as a recommendation.
Completion time is based on HowLongToBeat or TrueTrophies. For the percentage of people who unlocked the Platinum, PSNProfiles was used as a resource.

- Percentage Of PlayStation Players With Platinum Trophy: 27.3%
Available for both the PS5 and PS4, The Gardens Between is a delightful puzzle game that focuses just as much on the atmosphere as it does on providing a challenging experience. That said, the puzzles are generally well done and fun to complete, even if they might not necessarily be the hardest in the genre.
The game can be readily completed within about three hours, and it is possible to get the PS4 Platinum trophy within that time. Most of the trophies are just unlocked naturally while playing through the campaign, to the point that most of them are harder to miss than collect. Most importantly, The Gardens Between is just charming, both in terms of tone and presentation.
17 Any Telltale Game (The Wolf Among Us, As An Example)
Average Completionist Time: 11 Hours (The Wolf Among Us)
The Wolf Among Us
- Released
- October 14, 2013
WHERE TO PLAY
- Number of Trophies: 36
- Percentage Of PlayStation Players With Platinum Trophy: 19.1%
Telltale's resume is generally a safe bet when it comes to easy PS4 Platinum trophies, as they typically do not require much effort beyond completing their campaigns and then revisiting certain chapters to pick choices that were originally skipped over. Now, the games do require around 8–10 hours to complete, so they are not especially quick sits; however, these titles can easily be platinumed within a weekend, and they are also quite enjoyable.
Besides The Wolf Among Us, Telltale's Batman seasons, The Walking Dead, Tales from the Borderlands, and Guardians of the Galaxy follow roughly the same format.
16 Burly Men At Sea
Average Completionist Time: 2.5 Hours
Burly Men at Sea
- Released
- September 29, 2016
WHERE TO PLAY
- Number of Trophies: 25
- Percentage Of PlayStation Players With Platinum Trophy: 19%
A game set in Scandinavia, Burly Men at Sea is a cute little adventure game about some fishermen who come up against a bunch of mythological creatures. Players make choices that shape the entire story, much like other games, but the graphics are very simple and yet charming.
Like Telltale's games, the trophies are very easy to gain and hard to miss, so it's a good one to play through if someone is looking for some Platinums.
15 Donut County
Average Completionist Time: 2.5 Hours
Donut County
- Released
- August 28, 2018
- ESRB
- E For Everyone // Mild Fantasy Violence, Comic Mischief
- Number of Trophies: 21
- Percentage Of PlayStation Players With Platinum Trophy: 29.7%
Donut County is an indie game with a really simple concept. The player controls a hole, which grows in size as you move it around to swallow objects.
Admittedly, the story isn't super compelling. But if someone wants a game that's a little mindless and that they don't need to pay too much attention to, along with being awarded a nice Platinum trophy at the very end of it all, this is a good one to go for. And it's admittedly very pretty.
14 My Name Is Mayo
Average Completionist Time: 1 Hour
My Name is Mayo
- Released

- Point-and-click, Casual
- Platform(s)
- Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One
- Number of Trophies: 51
- Percentage Of PlayStation Players With Platinum Trophy: 76.3%
This is purely a clicker game so, like the one above, My Name Is Mayo is a title that won't take players very long to finish. In fact, most people pick up this game purely for the trophy. Still, if someone wants some brain stimulation that won't require too much effort on their part, this is another good one to go for.
The sequels, My Name is Mayo 2 and 3, are more of the same, delivering a blend of meta humor and quick journeys to easy Platinum trophies.
13 Until Dawn

Until Dawn

- Number of Trophies: 19
- Percentage Of PlayStation Players With Platinum Trophy: 2.7%
Until Dawn is much longer than most of the games on this list, but it is a title that people should find pretty easy to get invested in. The only trophy that's challenging is the one for keeping everyone alive. A horror story about a cabin in the mountains attacked by something, this group of friends has to survive... Until dawn. The goal is to keep everyone alive, and there are various trophies unlocked for preserving the lives of certain people (such as all the women, all the men, etc.), and even one for killing everyone.
10 Story-Heavy Horror Games To Play If You Loved Until Dawn
Fans of story-driven horror titles such as Supermassive's Until Dawn should check out these terrifying games the next time they want a good scare.
As long as players make sure to explore every area to find all the clues, this Platinum trophy is pretty easy to get. Why? Because when a player has done the game once, they can replay each chapter rather than having to go through the whole thing again.

A couple of turn-based puzzle games, Lara Croft GO and Hitman GO were originally released on mobile before later being ported to the PS4. Along with being pretty decent games, these two are also prime options for Platinum trophy hunters. If someone struggles with any aspect of these, it's easy to cheat and look up a walkthrough, which makes the Platinum trophy almost ridiculously easy to get.
11 Life Is Strange
Average Completionist Time: 19 Hours
Life is Strange

- Platform(s)
- Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One
- Number of Trophies: 61
- Percentage Of PlayStation Players With Platinum Trophy: 6.7%
Life is Strange is a pretty long game since it goes by seasons and chapters. However, much like Until Dawn, it's easy to get the trophies because players don't have to go super out of their way for any and none are particularly difficult.
The concept of the game is rewinding time and making different choices to affect the present and future. In itself, this is a pretty fascinating mechanic, and Life is Strange is one of those games that people can get utterly lost in. Players will have the Platinum before they know it, although it cannot generally be achieved in just one playthrough.
10 Theme Park Simulator
Average Completionist Time: 2 Hours
Theme Park Simulator

- Number of Trophies: 12
- Percentage Of PlayStation Players With Platinum Trophy: 26.5%
Theme Park Simulator sounds a lot more fun than it actually is. Those expecting a Rollercoaster Tycoon type of experience will be left bitterly disappointed. Those looking for an easy Platinum trophy; however, have definitely come to the right theme park.
The Hardest Platinum Trophies To Get On PS4
Trophy hunters who seek the ultimate Platinum Trophy on their PlayStation 4 will have a tough time getting them for these games.
In order to unlock the game's Platinum trophy, players will need to watch each of the park's attractions for five minutes. This basically entails doing absolutely nothing. It's possible to play around with the camera and change the time of day, but most will likely set their controller down and do something else until five minutes have passed. There are 11 attractions in total, so with setup time, it'll take around 1 hour for the Platinum to pop.
9 Round Invaders
Average Completionist Time: 1 Hour
Round Invaders
- Released
- August 22, 2022
WHERE TO PLAY
- Number of Trophies: 13
- Percentage Of PlayStation Players With Platinum Trophy: 97.8%
Boasting one of the highest completion rates on PSNProfiles, Round Invaders is the type of game that seemingly exists specifically to boost somebody's Platinum trophy count. The PlayStation Store has plenty of cheap titles that require only the bare minimum to unlock all their trophies, and Round Invaders serves as a prime example of such a release.
An arcade shooter that encircles players with enemies, Round Invaders delivers the exact experience advertised by its title. Just play the game for an hour and, more often than not, the Platinum will be rewarded.
The other Round Invaders games are also easy Platinum trophies.
