ok my pick for this one is possibly one that would surprise people, but I have a theory as to why I found it so difficult!

Ok so the game is “Party Animals”, really super fun, challenging and cute party game similar to human fall flat meets fall guys!

So the achievement I found so challenging was trying to throw one of my opponents into the missile silo of the submarine we were all fighting on top of (yes this game is as wacky as it sounds, definitely give it a whirl on game pass).

So I hear your say, “Murray why was this so difficult?” Well here’s my logic, by the time I got round to playing this map in the game and the game in general a lot of people who were playing it were already WAY, better than me and as it’s fully multiplayer it’s always against people your achievements will be unlocked no easy difficulty slider to change or bots to add to the game, but that’s not all.

I genuinely feel like as the other players were more experienced than me, they all stayed well clear of the middle silos, which in a game with rag doll physics makes this incredible challenging!

Fear not! After trying, trying, trying, trying, trying oh your get the point… the magic eventually happened as I managed to toss some poor soul into the jissle side and watch it fire a rocket with then trapped on top, sending them into orbit… it was fantastic… and worth the ton of frustration trying to do this as so many factors are ouwith my control including even what game type and map are selected which can add to the frustration when your after a particular achievement! Anyways I was so hyped by completing this I grab a screen capture! (I meant to take a video clip but in the chaos I didn’t manage to do so!) thanks for listening to my story!

Say cheeeesssseeeee…

It's probably no surprise that mine is Hades related! It's the only game I've intentionally chased full achievements for and the only one I've ever had the inclination to speed run.

Whilst getting all 49 of the achievements was a real grind at times and great to complete my real accomplishment comes from my current PB.

Having bashed my head against a wall for a while I was convinced I'd peaked and then through all of the practice, all of the trial and error builds and praying to RNGesus I took a whopping 30 seconds off my time!

In the new arena shooter game, THE FINALS, I managed to get a cheeky (And I'll be honest, I had no idea how I got this at the time) achievement called

Essentially, towards the end of matches, to switch it up a bit, the game introduces events. There are all sorts of events, such as "Alien invasions" or "Mega Damage" e.t.c for a total of 7.

In order to get this achievement, you must play as the Medium class, and equip the jump pad, and wait for the meteor shower event, which has a 1/7 chance on specific maps. You must then predict where the next meteor will hit, and place a jump pad down, right where the meteor will hit. The jump pad is only around 50cm wide, so most jump pads must be placed in just the right spot. Then you'll manage to "bounce" a meteor right back up (And hopefully crashing down on an unsuspecting opponent hehe)

This is a unique game state in chess that came about in a competitive match. I was quite surprised with this particular checkmate and I took a screenshot to record it.

We started the game with a bunch of aggressive trades losing queens, knights and bishops, while I hunted down his pawns. The end game involved me hunting their king with my rooks and lone bishop, with their rooks held close to defend their king.

The game ended in checkmate with all 4 rooks boxing in their king.

The most challenging game achievement I've earned was in Warcraft, titled 'Realm First! Level 80 Death Knight'.

This achievement is exclusive to one person per game server (~200 people in a world got it) and was introduced during the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, alongside the Death Knight class. The difference between achieving it and missing out was just a few minutes. Although it only took a few hours of actual gameplay on the live server, I had done extensive preparation on a test server before the release, figuring out logistics, identifying the best experience sources, etc.

Honorable mentions (without actual achievements):

  • Completing 'Planescape: Torment' without a single kill, relying solely on diplomacy and sneaking.

  • Finishing Fallout 2 with an Intelligence (INT) of 1, completely unarmed – no diplomacy or talking, just pure animal rage.
