Best Video Games for achievement list quality

#3

The platinum trophy is a clearly appreciated part of the package. Its presence adds appeal alongside the remaster’s other additions.

#4

The achievement set was compelling enough for one reviewer to make time for a full completion run despite rarely doing so.

#5

Achievements remain available with assist settings, making goals more welcoming. A separate assessment praises challenges that reward skill and style rather than busywork.

#6

Toy Box’s in-game gold-star objectives offer plenty to work toward. Completing the full set is described as a substantial undertaking.

#7

Sport-specific achievements encourage experimentation, practice, and repeat visits across the collection. They offer useful goals, although collecting their rewards can involve unnecessary menu hunting.

#8

The achievement selection is judged varied and respectable. Its goals span podium finishes, wrecks, and vehicle customization rather than a single repeated task.

#9

Separate hero completions and accessible difficulty assists make the achievement list approachable while adding replay goals.

#10

Codex completion feeds into Steam achievements for enemies, gear, food, and cats, giving completion-focused players a solid checklist to chase.

Achievements are readily attainable by playing through the story, without needing to recruit every last neighbor.

#12

Catching and returning an arrow comes with a trophy that one account describes as a neat extra reward.

#13

Achievement completion is considered approachable thanks to God Mode. The hardest optional difficulty settings are separate from that manageable completion goal.

#14

The achievement list spans collecting, farm development, cooking, and relationships. Its wide range of targets is a welcome addition for players who enjoy checking off goals.

#15

The achievement list offers plenty to pursue across play styles and hidden areas. Most goals are described as approachable, with extra searching needed for the remainder.

#16

Optional trophies reward extreme restrictions such as completing the game without a HUD or avoiding detection. These challenges look appealing to genre enthusiasts who enjoy testing their mastery.

#17

Achievement cleanup is considered manageable, with persistent discoveries making full completion less demanding.

#18

Achievement completion appears approachable, with one source noting that getting 100% looks fairly easy.

#19

Achievement descriptions add worthwhile details to the story. They reward reading beyond the main scenes.

#20

The Switch 2 edition gives completionists in-game tasks for story progress, photography, character interactions and hidden finds.

#21

Medals and combat trophies encourage experimentation, and clear tracking helps completionists. Online trophy requirements and hours of weapon mastery farming can make the platinum less appealing to solo players.

#22

Some achievements can be missed, but knowing about them ahead of time makes them manageable to secure.

#23

Opinions range from a routine achievement list tied mostly to story progression to appreciation for discoveries and Easter eggs. Completion goals offer some appeal without universal enthusiasm.

#24

The platinum is described as approachable, although a bench-resting trophy requires one continuous run. Another account finds the optional achievements too insubstantial to add much meaning.

#25

Beach minigame requirements can make the achievement path frustrating. A player who enjoys trophy hunting still finds these challenges a potential barrier to completion.

#26

Most trophies unlock naturally and work correctly, but several boss and race requirements demand frustratingly precise retries.

#27

A critical player finds that many achievements remain after the main game has become easy. Completing the list then feels more like continued grinding than a fresh challenge.

#28

Sky Room milestones unlock appealing extras, but many reward time spent or luck rather than skill. Completion can become a checklist of repetitive tasks.

#29

One account reports achievements unlocking before their milestones were reached. That weakens confidence in the achievement experience.

#30

Most completion goals are approachable, but at least one photo challenge can be obscure enough to leave the achievement set frustratingly unfinished.

#31

Achievement-linked rewards add busywork to the menus, with repeated claiming and clicking making progression feel more cluttered than satisfying.

The achievement list is described as mostly uninspired, with several tasks demanding substantial time and effort.

#33

The achievement list loses freshness by reusing a notable number of challenges from Europa Universalis IV.

#34

Reduced Platinum coverage frustrates trophy hunters. KHIII also folds its DLC challenges into the main list, making full completion more demanding.

#35

The wrench-only achievement is criticized as nearly impossible because enemy patterns and movement make the restriction especially punishing.

#36

The Steam treatment of the bundled Ace Combat Zero drew sharp criticism because it lacks the separate achievement/trophy list available on consoles.

#37

The achievement list is criticized for extreme grind requirements, including very large adventure and gold totals.

#38

The achievement list loses points for recycling prior requirements and retaining an achievement tied to buying the Premium Pass. That purchase-linked requirement is singled out as especially objectionable.

#39

The platinum route is described as an unpleasant grind, with demands such as 100 deaths and 10,000 enemy kills.

#40

The Xbox achievement list is strongly criticized as low-effort, repetitive, and excessively grindy.
