PAYDAY 2 — 6. Payday 2 - 1,328 achievements

Heists, masks, chaos – and more achievements than your Steam profile can handle. *Payday 2* doesn’t stop at a few hundred; it proudly flaunts **1,328** unique achievements. Between base game challenges and an avalanche of DLC additions, it’s less of a to-do list and more of a life commitment. One day you’re robbing a bank, the next you’re grinding the same mission for that elusive stealth badge. And even when you hit 100%, surprise – a new update adds a dozen more. Few games embody “eternal grind” this perfectly. You don’t just play *Payday 2*; you live in it. | © Overkill Software

Tales of Maj Eyal — 5. Tales Of Maj'Eyal - 1,738 achievements

Only a true masochist looks at a roguelike and says, “Needs more achievements.” Yet *Tales of Maj’Eyal* delivers a staggering **1,738** of them. Every class, every mode, every death – all of it logged, tracked, and rewarded. There’s something beautifully unhinged about earning a trophy for dying in a new way. The game’s procedurally generated chaos means no two runs are ever the same, and neither are the achievements you stumble across. Completionists may call it torture, but let’s be honest: that’s exactly what makes it irresistible. | © Netcore Games

Zup X — 4. Zup! X - 2,880 achievements

What happens when a minimalist physics puzzler gets an achievement fetish? You get *Zup! X*, boasting a mind-boggling **2,880** of them. Each level is simple: click, explode, move a shape. But every tiny success lights up your screen with a fresh trophy, and soon you’re drowning in dopamine. It’s so over-the-top that achievement hunters play it just to watch their Steam stats explode. The game knows what it’s doing – and it’s shameless about it. If Pavlov had made a platformer, it would look exactly like this. | © Quiet River

3. The Elder Scrolls: Online (and DLCs) - 3,500+ achievements

Some games give you a rich world; *The Elder Scrolls Online* gives you a rich world *and* a spreadsheet. Across all its expansions and updates, this MMO flaunts over **3,500** achievements – one for every monster slain, dungeon cleared, and zone explored. You’ll think you’re done, then realize there’s a whole new continent waiting to mock your progress bar. Each DLC piles on dozens more goals, transforming Tamriel into the ultimate completionist’s playground. It’s both inspiring and exhausting – kind of like real adventuring. | © ZeniMax Online Studios / Bethesda Softworks

Drive By Hero — 2. Drive-By Hero - 5,394 achievements

Some games just hand you a world to wander in – **Drive-By Hero** hands you a world *and* an achievement factory. With **5,394** Steam achievements to chase, this apocalyptic shooter turns every kill, shot, boss defeat, and restless idle moment into another checkbox. You’ll blaze through chapters, thinking you’ve done everything – then glance at your progress and realize there are hundreds of “Shooter X” awards still pending (they alone account for thousands of kills, hits *or misses*). The game doesn’t stop: every wave, every reload, every zombie is an opportunity for another “gotcha” trophy, and there are dozens more just waiting around every corner. | © Idea Cabin

LO Gist ICAL — 1. LOGistICAL - 9,821 achievements

With a ludicrous **9,821 achievements**, *LOGistICAL* isn’t a video game – it’s a career choice. Every map, route, and resource puzzle comes with its own tiny badge of honor, and there are thousands of them. You could spend years optimizing truck routes and still not see the end credits. What begins as a chill logistics simulator quickly transforms into an achievement hunter’s fever dream. The steady drip of dopamine from constant progress turns into a torrent, and suddenly you’ve lost track of time. It’s the purest expression of gaming obsession, meticulously disguised as a management sim. *LOGistICAL* doesn’t end; it just keeps expanding. | © Sacada
