Lets go trough their (non handheld/mobile) releases:
MadWorld: An interesting and pretty good experiment that sold like crap
Bayonetta: Great (unless we count the PS3 version which Platinum had nothing to do with)
Vanquish: Pretty good. Another interesting experiment
Anarchy Reigns: Mediocre game that upper management had no faith in. Sold about as well as its predecessor.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance: Another great one
The Wonderful 101: Good game but a disappointment in terms of sales. Another experimental title.
Bayonetta 2: Great but (initially) tied to a failure of a platform. And even with a Switch release its sales ended up far below its predecessor.
The Legend of Korra and Transformers: Devastation: booth are decent but feels like Bargain bin titles
Star Fox Zero: Seriously bad. Though unknown if it had to do with Platinum or simply Nintendos meddling.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan: Another bad one.
Nier: Automata: Pretty darn great. .
"Scalebound": I think we all know what happened to that one
Astral Chain: Another great one.
Sol Cresta: good but it's a schmup so was never going to be a high seller. Also overpriced as hell.
Babylon's Fall: Really, really, bad
Not counting the Scalebound disaster, Sol Cresta and whatever happened to Granblue Fantasy: Relink. That's
3 really bad ones (Star Fox Zero, TMNT:MIM and Babylon's Fall).
3 mediocre ones (Anarchy Reigns, The Legend of Korra and Transformers: Devastation).
3 good/great games that ended up disappointments in terms of sales (MadWorld, The Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2)
and 4 great games (Bayonetta, Vanquish, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and Nier: Automata).
