**Understanding the Trophy List: What Are You Really Dealing With?**
Before you throw yourself headfirst into this terrifying adventure, it’s essential to understand what’s at stake. *Resident Evil Remake* (RER) offers a trophy list that’s a mix of accessible, easily earned achievements and some that will make you question your decision to ever pick up a controller.
The breakdown is fairly standard for a survival horror game:
– **Story-related trophies**: You’ll naturally earn most of these as you progress through the main storyline.
– **Challenge trophies**: These will test your skills, strategy, and sometimes even your sanity. For instance, completing the game in “Hardcore” mode or under a time limit.
– **Collectible trophies**: These include things like finding all the files or unlocking special outfits. A bit more tedious but rewarding when you unlock that “Completionist” status.
The Good News: It’s Doable, Even on Hardcore
The *Resident Evil Remake* trophy list is designed to be challenging but fair. While some trophies will make your hands sweat (we’re looking at you, “Beat the Game in Under 3 Hours” trophy), the roadmap is achievable for most players, especially with a little bit of patience and planning. Just make sure you’ve got some good backup in the form of snacks and perhaps a few spare controllers for when things get *extra* stressful.

**Trophy Roadmap: How to Tackle the Apocalypse One Trophy at a Time**
Alright, let’s break it down. Here’s your action plan to conquer the *Resident Evil Remake* trophy list:
Step 1: Play Through the Story
Start with a normal playthrough. Not only will this help you get familiar with the game’s mechanics, but you’ll also unlock most of the basic story-related trophies. Some trophies will pop naturally as you progress, like “Escape Raccoon City” or “An Old Friend.”
Step 2: Hardcore Mode: If You Dare
Once you’ve experienced the story and gotten comfortable with the mechanics, it’s time to up the ante. Hardcore mode is not just for the brave — it’s a requirement for some trophies. The *S Rank* trophies, which you can earn by completing the game on Hardcore difficulty in under a specific time limit, will test your every nerve.
Pro Tip: If you’re struggling with Hardcore, try to optimize your resources. Ammo is limited, and every zombie encounter should feel like a calculated decision.
Step 3: Speedrun (Yes, You Have to Do This)
In case the thought of playing the game *quickly* sounds like a bad idea, remember: speedrunning is a rite of passage for *Resident Evil* fans. The trophy for completing the game in under 3 hours (without saving) can be brutal. You’ll need a full understanding of the map, puzzle solutions, and the enemy AI’s patterns.
Don’t worry, the more you play, the better you’ll get at dodging zombies and solving puzzles faster than a Raccoon City cop during his morning coffee.
Step 4: Collectibles and Outfits
Now for the fun part — or the tedious part, depending on how you feel about collectible hunting. Finding all the files, unlocking special outfits, and picking up all the hidden items will give you the “Completionist” trophies. These trophies are a nice break from the tension of survival mode, but they can be a bit of a grind.
Don’t forget: some of the costumes unlock after completing the game, which might make your second playthrough a lot more fun!

**What’s It Like? A Player’s Perspective**
One player (shoutout to Reddit’s /u/zombiemaster94) summed up the feeling perfectly: “The first time I completed the game on Hardcore, I felt like I had just survived the real zombie apocalypse. My hands were shaking, and I felt like I needed to take a shower after the stress.”
The sense of accomplishment after earning that final platinum trophy is like no other. And trust me, it’ll be a well-earned achievement, because RER can be *brutally* difficult — but that’s what makes it so satisfying.

**Tips & Tricks: How to Avoid Getting Chewed Up**
1. **Save Strategically**: Use your ink ribbons wisely. Too many saves could kill your trophy run, but not enough could have you losing progress to a rogue zombie (or a boss fight).
2. **Don’t Waste Ammo**: Ammo is scarce. Aim for headshots, and save your grenades for those moments when a zombie is getting a little *too* close.
3. **Master the Inventory**: Inventory management is key in RER. Be sure to organize it in a way that works best for you — you’ll be grateful when you can quickly grab that healing spray in a tight spot.
4. **Unlock New Game Modes**: Once you’ve completed the game, new modes like *The Fourth Survivor* (a timed mode with no saves) unlock. These will test your ability to survive under extreme conditions.

**Community Feedback: What Are Other Players Saying?**
The *Resident Evil* community is full of passion, and players love to share tips and tricks on social platforms like Reddit, Discord, and the PlayStation forums. One frequent suggestion is to take your time with the speedrun trophies. As one player put it: “Don’t stress about the time the first time. Just enjoy the game — speedrunning is better once you’re really familiar with the layout.”
Players also recommend a second playthrough on Easy mode to get all the collectibles and unlock costumes. This lets you take a breather after the adrenaline rush of your first hardcore run.

Now, what are you waiting for? Time to grab your handgun, load up your health spray, and go get that platinum!
