Mine is probably the Liberty City Minute achievement for Grand Theft Auto IV. I think technically you have 30 hours to beat the main storyline but I managed to power through and beat the entire game in one sitting.

Achievements were only added in after an update a couple years ago (when they removed the dated Games For Windows Live DRM that made the game pretty much impossible to play without modding) so it's technically not the rarest for the game. The achievements for getting the highscore in QUB3D and flying underneath the bridges are even more rare but I'd argue they're easier to get.


What Steam achievement are you most proud of?

Is there one that took a lot of time to get? Did you have a good time with friends? Was it an achievement you struggled to get on other platforms when you were younger?

Regardless I'd be interested to hear about it.

I think the ones I’m most proud of are beating Journey of the Prairie King in Stardew Valley and the 100% achievements in Spelunky HD and Spelunky 2. Grinded several hundred hours for those

Any tips for someone who has been debating on getting into Stardew Valley?

Not sure, the game is very chill in the sense that you can make progress by doing almost anything, so there isn’t really any way to go wrong. The wiki is very well made as well. I usually have it open in the background when playing.

The only warning I have to offer is to avoid optimising too much to get money. You end up optimising the fun away after a bit if the only thing you do is water your crops :p

I get you I started playing Harvest Moon again and spent a lot of time trying to maximize efficiency

Tell me your secrets! I got to the boss fight in Journey of the Prairie King in SDV and it was freaking impossible!

The game saves between each area, so you can beat an area, exit Journey of the Prairie King, continue the day normally in Stardew Valley and sleep. If you die you can just restart the day

Wow, I wish I had known this

It isn’t really any secret, I just went by the Saloon most days to play and see how far I’d get :p After a while I got into some nice flow and just made it through. I’m sure you’ll make it too! :)
