#1: Super Meat Boy

I've caught up to myself playing Super Meat Boy on PS4 to where I was when I played it on PC. Completed everything. A+ on Light and Dark worlds, all minus worlds, all bandages collected, all characters, I'm done with them both. However, there is a part of my brain that loves to collect Trophies/Achievements, and I NEED the ones for Super Meat Boy. On both platforms I currently have. I can't help it, its like a second nature to want to have them, so I have been hunting them for a while now. Mainly on PS4, while my laptops getting fixed, but I could never dream how difficult this would be. The game is very hard, I give it that, and when just going for the various achievements that exist to go through each world WITHOUT DYING, you don't need to speed-run anything. You can take your time (as the game allots it to you), yet I still flub up constantly. I believe as of now I have made it through Forest Light/Dark and Hospital Light without dying, but that leaves 11 more achievements for corresponding areas left to be grabbed, and all I can do is grind. There are some areas with shortcuts that I'm sure others have found, but one death and you must start over. And some areas even have glitches that can through a wrench in your run, such as the one level that has an enemy in a tight passageway that occasionally has a different movement pattern on level startup. This leaves you powerless as you cannot get past him, while a giant wall of salt you're meant to run away from eventually consumes you. All I can do is try and try again though, and hopefully I can gather all the trophies/achievements there are before I'm driven completely insane.
