I Tried to Platinum Every Difficulty (1–10) in 25 Days | Man vs Sleep III

After surviving 30 Platinums in 30 Days and the A–Z Platinum Challenge, I decided the next logical step was something significantly worse.
This time, I attempted to earn a Platinum trophy for every difficulty rating from 1/10 all the way to 10/10… all within 25 days.
What started as a fun little “difficulty gauntlet” quickly spiralled into one of the most exhausting gaming experiences I’ve ever put myself through. Along the way I battled:
broken trophy lists
corrupted saves
bugged games
brutal platforming
challenge modes designed by actual sadist
The idea behind this challenge was simple:
Difficulty is subjective.
For every impossible challenge, there’s usually, a strategy, an exploit, or some ridiculous workaround that makes it survivable.
So I went looking for every trick, exploit, cheese strat, and coping mechanism I could find to drag myself across the finish line.
Some games became all-time favourites.
Others nearly broke me mentally.
One of them genuinely made me question why humans invented video games.
Whether you’re a trophy hunter, challenge-run enjoyer, or just someone who likes watching a grown Australian man slowly deteriorate over the course of a month — I think you’ll enjoy this one.
All feedback is massively appreciated 🙏

Me for instance, got a platinum in all 3 Dark Souls, Sekiro and Elden Ring as well as some other tough ones like Balatro, GT5, Wolfenstein 2 and Super Street Fighter 4.
Just don't ever ask me to platinum a platform game - I won't even touch Hollow Knight, Silksong, Super Meat Boy, Celeste etc. I even struggle with Astrobot 🤣 I'm terrible at platform games and I've been playing them on and off since the days of the Commodore 64 so it's not lack of practice, I just suck at them. Like, really suck at them. I'm awful at city builder games too, and RTS games.
Great video! Well worth the wait! 😊 a really interesting selection of games as well! A couple of which I’ll have to check out! (Though I think all the high difficulty stuff can stay away from me haha)
Hope you’ve managed to get some rest since! And can’t wait for the next video!
Fiiiiinally! I never saw anyone taking Vanquish as a option for these type of challenges, and its perfect for that! Its an unique game which can be platinumd in 15 hours. The time its really skill-based, but at the end of the day, this is exactly what those challenges is about: "Will I be able to do this in time to finish the challenge?"
I love that game. I got smashed by Challenge 6 back in PS3 since then Vanquish became my Nemesis. I couldnt platinum it on PS3 then lost access to PS3 and it stayed in my backlog for many years. Recently I got the PS4 version and I managed to beat it, I cannot express the joy of vanishing tha ghost out of my trophy hunting history 😂
Whaaat a game!...
...now we're going after a PS3, it's time 😈
Did you know that Vanquish is classed as a 7/10 on PSNP if you use the EMP Glitch.
I think you need to take on The Evil Within or Dead Space 2 to make up for it 😉
Hardest games I have done are Wolfenstein 2 (Mein Leben), The Evil Within (twice), Aliens Vs Predator, Aliens FTE, Dead Space 2 (twice), Vanquish (4 times), Every Souls game (multiple of each) and the Atari Flashback Classic games
And thank you for reminding me Bayonetta en Vanquish are still on my backlog.
I also have Doon II, but I doubt I'll manage to get that one 😂l
