I have actually found it to be super helpful on Sackboy: A Big adventure for cleaning up missing collectables and looking at how to beat the final trial without having to grab my phone.

It's not a super well supported feature though for the time being and it seems like it would take a decent amount of effort from a developer to prioritise something like that without Sony incentivising them.

Old screenshot, I know that Immortals Fenyx Rising now supports the feature as well.

Have you used it?

Only reason I got the platinum for Astro. Pretty cool that it's context sensitive and will show you whats missing/what trophy you can get depending on where you are in the game.

I remembered it existed the other day when I got pissed at a part of Demon's Souls and looked for it, then gave up two minutes later when I couldn't find it.

Used it to clean up the trophies in Astro yeah. Forgot it existed after that, I have to be honest.

Anyone used it extensively in anything other than Astro?

I did use it a time or two for Sackboy when I remembered it existed. It was pretty handy since it knew the level I was on and gave me a list of things I'd need help for. Better than trying to find something online.

I had to let me show some hidden trophies in the trophy list. But apart from it, it's not really hard. For the collectibles I had to replay some levels, but they are usually not hard to find if you explore a little bit...

I forgot it existed before I had a chance to use it. I'll try to remember to try it out the next time I play.

For sure! I used it a couple times in Demon's Souls and especially in Bugsnax. You can get stuck pretty easily in Bugsnax if you can't figure out the solution to catching one.

Used it quite a bit in Astro's and a tiny bit in Demon's Souls.

Yes, I am actually surprised how much I've used it lol

I didn't expected to use it at all, but I used it a lot on Astro and so far, a couple of times on Bugsnax

Nope. I just opened YouTube for Astro's Playroom collectibles. Didn't really miss the 2-3 seconds I could have saved.

Used it in Astro's Playroom to get a few trophies I was missing. It was really useful to be honest.
Haven't used it since though.

Yes, it has helped me in Sackboy to find some orbs. It's fast and quick, it knows which one(s) I have left, in the level I'm in, so I don't have to search YouTube.

It's very cool!

Used it on Bugsnax actually! Kind of nifty, but a lil awkward as sometimes you can't actually find help on what you want exactly.

I feel like usage has to be insanely low and will only get lower as more casual players pick it up (who are even less aware of its existence than we are)

You save more time actually, at least in Astro Bot (only game I've tried it with).
It knows what stage you're in and what collectible is the next one you're missing, so it shows you that one and when you get it it'll show you the next. It's very well-implemented in Astro. Not sure about other titles.

There's 1 or 2 collectables I couldn't find even though I thought I had looked everywhere on Astro's playroom (one of them was the one right behind where you start on the paragliding stage). I should take a look at their Demon's Souls videos, see how their strategy differs from mine.

Oh, and that collectable on the train in MM.

i used it for Sackboy, but more often than not, the videos would simply not load 🤷‍♂️

I abused the activity cards in miles for the platinum though. Just hopping from one challenge to the next across the map on seconds.

No, I try to ignore those annoying cards as much as possible and have had to keep my trophy tracking off system on 3rd party websites.
