A beautiful world, and a stress-free platinum

Frontiers of Pandora is the studio behind The Division let loose in James Cameron's jungle β€” a first-person open world that's more about wandering, scanning and soaking up the scenery than about hard combat. It's one of the best-looking games on the system.

For trophy hunters it's a relaxing one. The 32 base-game trophies are almost all exploration and collection: touch glowing plants, tune wind flutes, follow moths, collect kites and dolls, and slowly bring Pandora's air quality back to 100% by dismantling the RDA. Nothing here is a real skill check.

The catches

There's basically nothing missable β€” everything can be mopped up after the credits in free roam. The only trophies that need effort are the two golds tied to the campaign and Apex skills, defeating a thanator, and the long Reclaim Pandora (100% air quality) cleanup. A collectibles guide will save you hours on the kites, dolls and comics.

The definition of a chill platinum β€” gorgeous to look at, impossible to fail, just a little long. Perfect for a relaxed PS Plus run.

The Verdict β€” Pros

  • Stunning, best-in-class open world
  • Relaxed, no-fail platinum (offline, no missables)
  • Satisfying "reclaim the world" cleanup loop

The Verdict β€” Cons

  • Heavy on collectibles β€” bring a locations guide
  • Combat is thin and repetitive
  • The 100% air-quality trophy is a long grind
