How I would approach the run

How I would approach the run First, enjoy the story on the difficulty you want. The original platinum is possible in one playthrough, and its trophies aren't missable through normal story progression. You can return to the open world afterward. You don't have to ruin the story by following a collectibles video from the opening scene. Activate towers, stop crimes while you're nearby, and collect things naturally. As the story advances, more types of activities become available. A district that isn't finishable yet may simply be waiting for a later faction or mission. Second, clear side missions and the district checklists. Third, clean up the small combat, traversal, photo, and lab requirements. Then decide whether you're stopping at platinum or continuing through DLC, the Remastered extras, and New Game+ on Ultimate. Keep manual saves and don't spend Challenge tokens carelessly. Suits and gadget upgrades compete for some of the same materials. You can replay challenges to improve your rating, but repeating the same already-earned tier isn't an endless source of fresh tokens.
