Can we get a better explanation on what each save does? I tend to try to make my Trophies look more legit and I would like to know what to do in the right order. I read that there are multiple saves in each file provided. So what does each save do for every trophy?

To try to answer both of these - I don't think the poster put a big roadmap in here, no, and it's not a complete save set, just a 100 percent save meaning everything's done. But since there's chapter select you can go and get any trophies, including the chapter/story ones, using that, if you knew which chapter had the actions you needed (like the best place for getting into combat with an android then escaping for instance). The profile save, if I remember right, has a counter in it (something does) that keeps track of things like how many humans killed during current play through, how many things hacked, so despite it being a 100 percent save with everything done you could still pop those trophies by, say, hacking 1 more thing (might be the chapter saves that track it, so might be you would need to load up a chapter save where the requisite number of things have already been hacked). The folders in the download have brief descriptions of what set does what, but it's only for some of the more annoying ones, annoying either because they're difficult or because taking that action locks you out of another trophy for that playthrough (like killing humans although you could checkpoint farm that I think).
If you want to do the trophies in legit order, I can only think of 1 option that's remotely efficient while still being safe if you're using this set. That would be to first play the game on the easiest difficulty once to get the story trophies and ones that kind of pop naturally as you play out of the way (some are not story but really hard to avoid, maybe impossible for at least 1 of them). Ignore collectibles. It's a fun game especially if you like the original movie, the look and feel of it. Easy is incredibly easy, without sacrificing the fun of it which is kind of rare for difficulty settings. If you see at which point you COULD be popping collectible trophies, back up your save, load up that particular collectible trophy save, pop the trophy, then go back to your playthrough. Or just pop all of the collectibles at the end since a lot of people could be doing it legit using chapter select anyway.
Then use this set to skip over your subsequent playthroughs to get the other annoying trophies out of the way, like hardest difficulty, not dying, dying 100 times, killing no humans, killing humans, any others you've missed. If you use a good trophy/achievement specific walk through, then your first and I guess only playthrough shouldn't take you more than maybe 10 or 15 hours tops and is well worth it. Skipping over collectibles should save a ton of time since you're going from Point A to Point B, and since you're on easy mode you're not even really scrounging for materials that often. Then you save the time of another full 1 or 2 playthroughs.
If in the process you make saves throughout chapters, then at the end of each chapter you could transfer your latest manual save to computer before going back to game (autosave kicks in at beginning of each chapter so you won't lose progress), and you could upload those to this site if you felt like it for anyone else to use if they wanted to just platinum without playing. Although frankly, this is a game worth playing once before doing any cleanup on the annoying things.
