While Donut County doesn&#8217;t have the same scope as Bandai Namco&#8217;s series, it definitely shares a sense of silliness that&#8217;s all too rare in games nowadays.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"cols cols-2 multi-dimension\">\n<div class=\"col col-2 col-width-50\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Going Platinum #8: Donut County 2\" class=\"scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/f2fd1da1cb6ff\/going-platinum-8-donut-county-2.large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/f2fd1da1cb6ff\/going-platinum-8-donut-county-2.445x245.jpg\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Going Platinum #8: Donut County 2\"><\/a><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Going Platinum #8: Donut County 3\" class=\"scanlines scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/f1e4533fe1d23\/going-platinum-8-donut-county-3.large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/f1e4533fe1d23\/going-platinum-8-donut-county-3.445x245.jpg\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Going Platinum #8: Donut County 3\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"col col-2 col-width-50\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Going Platinum #8: Donut County 4\" class=\"scanlines scanlines scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/e9303c7ed9b16\/going-platinum-8-donut-county-4.large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/e9303c7ed9b16\/going-platinum-8-donut-county-4.445x245.jpg\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Going Platinum #8: Donut County 4\"><\/a><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Going Platinum #8: Donut County 5\" class=\"scanlines scanlines scanlines scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/70c2422f3276a\/going-platinum-8-donut-county-5.large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/70c2422f3276a\/going-platinum-8-donut-county-5.445x245.jpg\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Going Platinum #8: Donut County 5\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>It&#8217;s a short experience, but it&#8217;s one full of cute puzzles, funny writing, and a simple but satisfying idea at its centre. Sending stuff down a perfect cartoon hole in the ground is sort of senseless, but it&#8217;s oddly compelling.<\/p>\n<p>Trophies-wise, this is probably one of the easier platinums I&#8217;ve earned. You&#8217;ll get most (if not all) the Trophies just playing through the story.<\/p>\n<p>If I remember rightly, I didn&#8217;t think about the platinum until after I&#8217;d completed the game and the review was done, hopping back in to scoop up the few remaining tasks, because why not?<\/p>\n<p>Listen, I don&#8217;t have a huge amount to say about this one. Donut County is a great little game, it&#8217;s an easy plat, and sometimes that&#8217;s all we need, isn&#8217;t it? Something easy breezy. If games were dinner, this would be a frozen pizza, and there&#8217;s nothing wrong with that.<\/p>\n<div class=\"insert-label centered insert lazyload for-mobile insert-extended lazyload\">\n<div id=\"PS_MPU_X_E696C27D08EACF\" style=\"min-width:300px; min-height:250px;display:flex; flex-wrap: wrap; align-items:center; justify-content: center;\" data-dfp-id=\"pushsquare\/mobile_web_display\/article\" data-dfp-sizes=\"300x250,300x600\" data-dfp-targeting=\"pos=1,gto=false,experiment=nl-article-mobile-2\" class=\"lazyload\" data-dfp-refresh-direct=\"true\" data-prebid-config=\"Lazy_Load_HP_MPU\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>I nearly deleted that bit about the pizza, but then I thought, Going Platinum isn&#8217;t exactly premium stuff, you know?
