[Steam] No achievements = No buy

[Esquizo]

I’m begging the klein team to add Steam achievements to the new game this time. I feel much less motivated to play when there are no achievements to unlock. ☹️

I recently abandoned Shipwrecked because it feels like a gameplay without purpose or incentive.

It feels unfair that the console versions of the previous games received achievements/trophies, while the Steam versions were left without them.

Don't get me wrong, if some players don't care about achievements, they can simply ignore them. Just add achievements for the players who want and enjoy them.

Please, Team Klein!

These games are essentially survival sandbox experiences, where players explore and discover things at their own pace, making their own personal achievements in each world! Achievements were only added to console releases as a necessity from Sony & Microsoft to list them in their online stores, if I recall.

 

If achievements did make their way into DSE in any capacity, I think the "Accomplishments" from the old DST Forge/Gorge events could work. They were essentially in-game achievements, and some of them were even tied to specific characters! 

 

As far as I can recall they weren't in DS/T for a reason, but we still know so little about Don't Starve Elsewhere, so who knows. It's entirely Klei's decision.
