Santa Monica shadow dropped God of War Sons of Sparta exclusively on PS5 last week, and the 2D spinoff has received a mixed response during its opening weekend. Even though not everyone is sold on it, clearly, some of you are enjoying your time with the game, as almost 30 of you have already earned its platinum trophy.
Sons Of Sparta’s Platinum Can Have You When It Earns You, Or When You Earn It, You Get What I Was Going For
Unlocking a platinum within four days of a game’s launch is almost always impressive. However, a quick look at Sons of Sparta’s trophy list on PSNProfiles makes this particular feat even more impressive. Some of the trophy descriptions, particularly the ones with low completion rates, require you to explore pretty much every inch of this game to unlock them.
I won’t be covering them in this article, but be warned; Sons of Sparta’s full trophy list contains major spoilers.
For example, to unlock one of the game’s bronze trophies, you need to collect and return every single artifact. Only 0.74 percent of Sons of Sparta players have managed to do that so far. Even fewer players, just 0.69 percent of you, have unlocked the silver trophy you get for finding all of the game’s Gouri.
That naturally means the chunk of players who have unlocked the spinoff’s platinum is even slimmer. Just 0.67 percent of players, which apparently equates to just 28 of you. If you’re reading this because you already have Sons of Sparta’s platinum and you’re keen to know just how impressive an accomplishment that is, congratulations. It’s incredibly impressive and, as it stands, there aren’t that many of you.
Sons Of Sparta’s Total Players Is A Little Worrying
The total number of people playing Sons of Sparta, according to PSNProfile,s is a little concerning. Not even 5,000 of you. Considering this is a God of War game, and one that closed last week’s blockbuster State of Play, you would think its player count would be significantly higher than that. It’s not clear how accurate or up-to-date that total is, though.
The jury is very much still out on Sons of Sparta, which is certainly fair since the game isn’t even a week old. A few players claimed they’d be seeking refunds due to confusion surrounding its co-op functionality, confusion Santa Monica has now cleared up by confirming you need to complete the main story in single player to unlock it. Despite that confusion, Sons of Sparta has an 8.2 on Metacritic, which, while low by God of War’s standards, is a decent score in the grand scheme of things.
