A little less than a year ago I ventured into the musical landscape of Figment on the Switch. It was unexpected and caught me off guard for many reasons, so when I saw it was coming to PS4 I jumped at the opportunity of playing through again to earn some trophies for it. It marks my first platinum prior to the trophy list actually being live, although many of the trophies seem glitched and pop before you’re supposed to get them. The game is just as impactful as before, although I did run into some technical errors this time around, such as some platforming not working and enemies finding themselves stuck in the environment, forcing me to exit the game to continue. Nothing a patch can’t fix though and certainly not something to mark it down from the score I originally gave it. For my full thoughts on the game itself, you can read here.

Here at GBG we use a rating method that you are more than likely familiar with – a scale of 1 to 10. For clarification, we intend on using the entire scale: 1-4 is something you should probably avoid paying for; 5-7 is something that is worth playing, but probably not at full price; 8-10 is a great title that you can feel confident about buying. If you have any questions or comments about how we rate a game, please let us know.
