Platinum Difficulty Rating

I give it a 5. Paladin was very easy with the ultimate moves

[Linkz1]

I gave it a 6. Overall, I found the game was difficult at first, but once you get used to the mechanics and the platforming, it's quite easy. The combat is also very heavily focused on dodging rather than straight on blocking. All in all, great game!

I gave it 7 because most of the trophies are story related, so to harvest most of them you only have to finish the game.

But I must admit sometimes the game is pretty hard and some trials will really challenge your patience...

[LegendDarkKnight]

I gave it 9 because of frustration I had with time trials, especially 5-5...

6/10. I thought that the game was going to be more difficult.

I gave it a 4.

The game is challenging at first but as you progress and get upgrades, it becomes much easier. The bad camera makes some parts of the game harder then it should be.

Overall I think the game is awesome. It's my most favorite Castlevania game to date and I've been playing them since the NES.

6 for me.
The game becomes easier as you upgrade Gabriel, and except for the time-related trials that sometimes require a little bit luck, all of them can be easily handled with the proper technique and/or little practice.

I gave the game a 5. When I was first playing I found the game difficult, but it got a lot easier as you get used to the different moves and upgrade Gabriel.

The path I took was to first complete the game on normal, get all of the collectibles, focus on trials, and finally, beat the game on Paladin. I had a harder time beating the game on normal than I did on Paladin because of the upgrades and knowing the tendencies of all of the enemies in the game.

I was expecting to have a lot more trouble with the trials as well. There weren't any that made me turn off the game, or even yell at my t.v. like an Arkham Asylum did.

All in all, a great game that isn't too difficult to platinum.

4 from me. I played all the trials on Paladin and none took me more than 10 tries. The hardest trial was Balcony level and seven ball drops to complete trial (yes, I played without guide and youtube help).

I consider this game one of the best I've ever played. Great puzzles, great level design (ok, the camera work is sometimes flawed), great protagonist development tree.

the game was pretty good and easy plat
