As per title. Most computer games these days are made with such unnecessary padding that I want to murder the devs or myself by the end. See, for example, Hyrule Warriors, the 100% 1000 Hour Nightmare, the Review.
The second game I ever 100%ed was Arceus and I still can’t stand the thought of picking it up again, years later. The first game was Horizon Zero Dawn, which is still fun.
Factorio.
Best thing about it is that it never ends.
Nope. I’m not capable of getting the three timed achievements, and I’m not uninstalling my mods.
I 100 percented it before going into mods. There is no spoon is very achievable, I did it in half the time it takes.
I almost got one, and never tried again. Fuck that noise, I need the Squeak Through mod and refuse to live without.
Just finish the factory maaaaan
Outer Wilds is an amazing game to 100%, all “collectibles” are pertinent to the world and story of the game.
I stopped at 90% ish. Couldn’t get the timing and got annoyed.
Watched the ending and it’s great. I’d recommend it for anyone with more skill or patience than me.
Batman Arkham Asylum and (probably) Arkham City.
do riddler trophies count towards 100?
Yup.
Lots of indie games, but To the Moon is an easy one. Super sad, but it’s a short game that’s 100%’d once you finish the story
I loved To the Moon. Imposter Factory was great as well.
I hadn’t checked out their other stuff, so I didn’t know about Imposter Factory. Another game added to the wishlist, excited to check it out!
I really enjoyed Hades
I didn’t hate Hades, I liked it a lot, but I absolutely would have hated 100%ing that game.
This is why FSM made YouTube clips of secret endings.
For me it came naturally… I tried improving my times and using more pacts… the game is so fun I just kept playing it and competing with my previous times
Yeah, one of the only games I’ve 100%ed, the achievements are deliberately set up so that you can get most of them organically by the time you get to the true ending. The rarest achievement on Steam has like a 6% obtainment rate, which is a lot.
You can 100% the first three Spyro games in about 9-12 hours each. The first one can be done without any backtracking, even, since you have the same move set throughout.
I believe modern games take 100% runs way too far. I enjoyed 100%-ing the 3D Mario games… and then I got to Odyssey, and it was such a ridiculous slog that I couldn’t get much further than the standard ending.
Return to the Obra Dinn
By the time I got to the end and didn’t have a few secret achievements I was angry because I solved the puzzle entirely. Great game, probably my most common recommendation, but it doesn’t fit this category exactly.
That said, I was much less frustrated than I woukd be for other games.
My first thought as well.
If you don’t mind using an exploit for the pantheons, Hollow Knight is a very fun game to 100%.
If you don’t use the exploit, you will become a shell of your former self.
The pantheons was the only thing I never beat. Shit’s crazy.
I thought I would never beat the pantheons… Until I did. On both PC and PlayStation. As long as you enjoy it, I guess it’s just practice.
Based on games that I’ve 100% myself.
Oh shit I played graveyard keeper until the beginning of the communist DLC and then forgot about it. Thx for the reminder, I need to finish it some time.
FTL. Unlocked every ship and got every achievement, and I still play it from time to time
This is a fun game I recommend to anyone. I eventually got a bit bored but installed the multiverse mod and now have 50x more content to play with
Elden Ring.
You’re either going to hate it long before you 100% it or you will 100% it because you love it so much.
Spider-Man 1 and 2. It’s just more excuse to swing around.
Chrono Trigger
People really love this game huh
Because it’s just good. It’s like a modern indie game with big bucks software company money. They got top notch crew for everything and managed to make combat not feel like a chore in a JRPG with great music and story.
I mean, it’s hard not to like it. Recommend SNES version btw, modern versions are not as nice.
… Yes. If you haven’t played it, I highly recommend it. It’s a fantastic classic RPG.
My kingdom for the ability to play this on the Switch or PS5…
Retropie. You may already know what it is, but it’s well worth it and works rather beautifully.
I just got 100% on Nier Automata, and I only loved it more as I played it more. Usually I hate any grinding in any game and will either skip any content that requires grinding, use mods to bypass it, or just put down the game and move on to another one. But the whole game just felt so damn good. I could just walk around for hours doing nothing because the movement felt so good.
There was quite a bit of grinding, but I didn’t find any of it too bad. I got 100% in about 50 hours, which is my sweet spot. Any longer and I feel like the game is dragging on.
BG3
If only there were more achievements tucked away in the character creation menus😢
Banjo Kazooie
Banjo Kazooie 2
There are no others…
Speaking of Rare games, I was on track to 100% DK64 until my save corrupted on the final fairy. Never tried again, damn those bananas.
Cyberpunk 2077 with Phantom Liberty. 100+ hours of pure joy. And when you need to take the edge off, you can always spend a nice evening with the love of your life.
Oh that’s really rare for me, since I’m not a person who can generally do “grindy” parts well if the grind extends past what is clearly the main intent of the game (that is, usually the story).
The last game I 100%ed is Pineapple On Pizza. A free 10 minute game, 20 if you go for all achievements. Says a lot about me I suppose. 😅
However, I do sometimes go after rare achievements because the ideas behind them sound intriguing to me. But I can’t be arsed to go for all the other stuff, ingame and external, too. One good example of something I had to do is that the expansion Hate Plus has an achievement that for the longest time would get manually credited by the dev if, at a fitting moment in the story, you bake an actual cake and take a picture with it in front of the monitor at that scene.
Was time to bake something again, anyways. 🎂
You’d probably be able to 100% Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion. Only about an hour or two to finish the game, and another 15-30 minutes to figure out the two extra achievements.
For Pokemon Legends Arceus I think what would prevent me from playing it again after 100% isn’t the amount of repeated tasks to max out the Pokedex, most of which are fun and a few of which just suck. I think it’s the slow dialogue/gameplay. When playing the actual game I’m usually having fun. When I’m stuck in a forced tutorial or dialogue it’s just a slog.
Metroid Dread.
I beat the game on Normal, then went back to 100% it, then immediately played again on Hard mode, beat that and 100% it again.
The last game I did 100% was Psychonauts 2. I loved the world and after playing the fantastic story it was a good reason to spend some extra hours revisiting the levels.
Nier Automata
If, by 100%, it includes 100% of the achievements/trophies, I can only remember Mary Skelter Nightmares (og version), Odin Sphere Leifthrasir and Starbound as games I still enjoy after doing 100%.
At least personally, its a lot of the shorter, gameplay-focused games that always leave me wanting more, or wanting to further improve, without having some unbeatable new-game++++++++ mode or anything overly RNG based.
A couple games I’ve 100%ed that still have significant bonus/optional content outside the main plotline include:
Inscription - Willingly played through the story twice and spent nearly as many hours on the bonus new-game+ mode. Super solid gameplay, that while well explored in the base game, leaves plenty of room to further experiment and perfect your strategy.
Just Cause 3 - while there is a ton of bonus content, its not overly hidden, and the core gameplay is solid enough that challenges feel fun and rewarding, while travelling around gathering collectables is satisfying in a chill, podcast-listening, but not unengaging way.
Hotline Miami - after completing the game, I wanted to go back and get a A+ on every level because the gameplay was fun and I felt I still had more room to grow. “The puzzle” wasn’t as fun, and I did use a guide, but I was just happy for any reason to play through the game again.
Wolfenstein the New Order - again, just a solid gameplay loop that made me want to keep playing, with bonus objectives that worked as an objective rather than a chore. Also, unlike later ID shooters, it doesn’t have the “beat the whole game without dying” achievement, which just feels too punishing over mistakes that may be minor or downright unfair.
It’s interesting that you mention Just Cause 3 because even though the campaign is a lot of fun, I didn’t enjoy completing all the vehicle challenges.
The vehicle challenges were definately the weakest part, but on average, I still enjoyed them. In particular, a lot of the wingsuit courses and land races were fun, and actually took advantage of the game’s strongest elements.
I 100℅ed sekiro and another crabs treasure, both games (especially sekiro) sort of had grindy achievements, but the gameplay was so good it still ledt me wanting more
Duck Detective: The Secret Salami
The game where finishing it is 100%'ing
Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2 but not Dark Souls 3. The silver knight farm is brutal and I’d never do it again.
Why? The padding is there for those with the stomach for it, but you can just… play a new game once you’ve stopped having fun?
The newer spider man games. I think it has a reasonable amount of collectibles and is fun to collect. The secret photo ops were tricky but not impossible if you’ve ever seen any of the movies. I’ve 100% every one including all trophies and new game+.
I got 100% on hollow knight and ender lilies. Two good metroidvanias

I’m the kind of person who has no issues with moving on from a game with only 20% of the achievements/trophies unlocked after beating the final boss. If it’s not fun, it’s not fun.
I think the only two games I set out to 100% were probably Super Mario World, or Donkey Kong Country 2.
cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
I did dk1, dk2 and super Metroid from that era. Great games. Dk2 is unreal, top 20 for sure.
Peffse@lemmy.world 2 months ago
There were WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too many secret caves in DKC1 to try to 100%. I did try to complete DKC3, but I don’t think I achieved it.

Me too. Most things I play because i want to know what happens next. If I know everything then I am done with the game.
Sometimes I like the gameplay that much that it happens automatically. Bloodborne comes to mind.
