Even though all the collectibles-related trophies are “missable”, you can earn them with the “Chapter Select” option later during step 2, but if you want to collect them in a single playthrough, make sure to follow the video in the Insightful trophy description.

Step 2: Collectibles Clean up and view them all 
If you haven’t done it before, now it’s time to pick up all the remaining collectibles you have left behind. Click on the “Chapter Select” option and search for the chapter where you have missed one collectible.
If you don’t know where you are missing one of them, click on every chapter and you can check the total number of collectibles in each one.  

During this step you’ll earn these trophies:
Tundra Expert
Village Historian
The Cold Truth
Swimming Through History

There are 24 collectibles in total in the game. 
These collectibles are mostly given by an owl which is hidden (sometimes) in the levels of the game.
It’s recommended to play with your headphones or at decent volume as you can slightly hear the owls and you can easily find their locations.
However, after the video, there is a complete written walkthrough that indicates the highly missable ones.

NOTE: The walkthrough labels some collectibles as MISSABLE even though you can recollect them with the “Chapter Select” option. 
That’s because these ones are not straight forward and you need to search for them. 

You will need to find a total of 20 collectibles as 3 of them are given by default at the beginning of the game and one after beating the game.

Here you can find a good video provided by NobodyGrotesque that shows the exact location of each collectible:
