Maybe it’s that first PUBG victory, or becoming a Grand Champion on Rocket League. Maybe it’s the time you got passed that awfully difficult level, or the time you actually got around to finishing your backlog.
What achievement are you proud of?

“Elden Ring” achievement in Elden Ring (obtain all achievements.) I am a very casual gamer and I played very little of dark souls 3 but I couldn’t get past the tutorial boss so I gave up. I heard many great thing about Elden Ring so I decided to give a FromSoft game another try. The freedom of that game made it really easy for a casual player like myself to go my own pace and get used to the i-frames. I fell in love with the game and my first play through I used as many summons as I could but my other play throughs I hardly used any. It turned me into a gamer that dodged and used parries which I never did before. Very good game and I’m excited to play the dlc.
You should give the older DSs a try again (and Bloodborne if you have a PS for sure). I still prefer the first DS. The combat is slower and easier, and generally just not as good. The world is amazing though. There’s still no other game like it. The way it all links together and has tons of paths that connect different pieces of the map feels amazing.
If you do decide to play DS1, remember what you learned in ER about feeling free to leave and try something else if it’s too challenging. Especially at the begining there’s several paths and some are harder than others. One small spoiler is everyone says to avoid the catacombs at the start. There’s an item you can get there that let’s you heal more though, so it’s actually helpful to grab earlier, just a pain in the ass. It’s your call on that. There is no wrong path, but some are more right than others.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided non lethal playthrough
I think I did this. I tried to do it with Human Revolution, but when you’re playing stealth non-lethal and then suddenly you’re in a boss fight, it feels pretty stupid. I quit that game and never went back. MD was pretty good. Both have too much vent crawling to solve everything. I wish we’d get a new Deus Ex more similar to the original…
Now this is luck and not skill, but I traded Pokémon in Pokémon GO with a friend. When you do this, the Pokémon you send to your friend rerolls its IVs. The Duskull I sent him rerolled its IVs, the Buneary he sent me rerolled its IVs, and we both ended up with perfect-IV Pokémon.
(I’m a 100-IV aka perfect-IV hunter in Pokémon GO. In the mainline games, I tend not to care as much.)

My first was a Valkyrie, and I’ve gotten a couple of wizards to the bar, but Caveman was a challenge
It’s not all that uncommon, but I’m pleased with my platinum trophy for Beat Saber. That was for the PS4 version – I’m still working on it for PS5 and dealing with the different controllers, being out of practice, and just getting older/less coordinated.
My rarest platinum trophy is for Sports Champions, back on the PS3. Sony claims 0.1% for getting that one – even PSNProfiles tracks it to 0.51%.
About a year ago I went through the Tony Hawk games 1-American Wastland and 100% all of them. And not just do one play through with 100% of the goals and stuff. Unlocking characters and everything, which means beating each game over and over with every character.
Got the Kingdom Hearts collection for the PS3 and platinumed 1 and 2
Gaming for 30 years straight and never picking up any completionist disease, enjoying games up until the content is dense enough fro me to have fun and moving on after finishing it, as in, killing the last boss, winning the tournament, exploding the base, not as in picking up the .jpgs of spiderman hiding under the barrels.
I’ve never gone for in game achievements. The most memorable personal achievement was as a kid completing Sonic 1 with all emeralds without using cheats.
I got hooked on a game in college called Sveerz. It was one of those Wild Tangent games that came preinstalled on my laptop. I loved that game and played way too much during class. I managed to get the #1 worldwide rank by about double the next highest score, and I was crowned with an icon that called me “The One.”
Funny thing was, I didn’t realize I was anywhere near the high score. I was just having fun.
Hollow Knight 112% “Pure Completion”
One of my favorite games, but it’s so hard.
I beat Eve Online
There’s two actually and both are pretty niche but I’m proud to have accomplished.
I love to surf in CSGO/CSS/Momentum Mod and at the time of writing I’m top 1.4% of a large server on CSGO of people who surf which isn’t amazing by any means but feelsgoodman.
I managed to finish a 16 star “run” on Super Mario 64 (wasn’t fast but was super fun and the child in me was in amazement)
I don’t achievement hunt but getting one that 0.5% of players achieve feels good. One in particular is “Humble Pie” in Stellaris.
Either platinuming sekiro or beating devil may cry 5 on dante must die difficulty, I’m not sure which is better. Platinum sounds more impressive, but according to steam achievement stats dmc5 dmd is rarer so I guess I’ll pick that one
My platinum in Bloodborne.
Fuck you Defiled Amygdala. Go eat a Winter Lantern.
Platinum in all Yakuza games.
