Feature: Going Platinum: For About Two Months, I Was a Devout Member of the Cult of the Lamb

The writer describes spending nearly two months playing *Cult of the Lamb* and earning its platinum Trophy, praising how its roguelike combat and cult management systems reinforce one another. The article argues that the game’s compelling gameplay loop, distinctive art and cartoonish charm make its darker humour appealing.

The platinum Trophy is uncommon, with 1.8 per cent of PS5 players having unlocked it at the time of writing. The main challenges appear to be collecting all tarot cards, follower skins and fleeces; fewer players have completed those tasks than have defeated every boss without taking damage.
