Achievements keep the adventure going by offering extra challenges and opening up new ways to play. For those unfamiliar,
achievements – or trophies, as they’re known on PlayStation – are awards earned by completing specific in-game tasks. Sometimes they’re about quantity or endurance, challenging you to, for example, defeat a large number of enemies or travel a long distance. Sometimes they’re a test of your gaming mastery, perhaps requiring you to beat a series of levels without dying, or in record time. And sometimes they’re just a bit of silly fun, encouraging you to do something completely weird you may not have even
realised was possible… As you earn achievements and
trophies, they’re added up for a running score on your account. The system essentially places a numerical value on your gaming prowess – perfect for those times you just need a mate to know you’re better at games than they are.
