Can You Guess These Games From Their Achievements? Take the Quiz

Think you know your achievements? PC Gamer's new 17-question quiz challenges you to identify games from their achievement names and descriptions alone.

Ever stared at an achievement pop-up and thought, "wait, which game is this from again?" Well, that's exactly the challenge PC Gamer has cooked up for you.

Their latest quiz puts your gaming trivia knowledge to the test with 17 questions, all about achievements. The twist? You're getting the exact achievement name and its in-game description — nothing cleaned up, no clues trimmed. Just the raw text, and you have to figure out which game it belongs to. You've got 12 minutes to work through all 17.

Now, achievement hunting is one of those things that divides people. Some folks roll their eyes at it, and honestly, it's easy to see why. Nothing kills the vibe faster than a challenge asking you to do the same thing 100,000 times. But when achievements are done right? They can push you to try features you'd normally skip, experiment with weird strategies, or make choices you'd never consider otherwise. Those are the ones worth chasing.

The quiz itself is a nice mix of recognition and logical guessing. Even if you don't instantly know an achievement, the description might give you enough to reason your way to the right answer. It's less about memorization and more about how well you really know the games you've played.

Speaking of grindy achievements, the article's author shares a relatable pain: they just finished collecting everything in Control, and yes, that meant using Shield Rush 100 times. Misery indeed. It's the perfect example of an achievement that sounds simple but turns into a repetitive slog.

If you enjoy this kind of trivia, PC Gamer has plenty more quizzes where that came from. They've covered everything from healthbars to weird currencies to absurd patch notes. So if 17 questions aren't enough to satisfy your brain, there's a whole library waiting.

Once you're done, the team wants to hear how you did. Did you ace it, or did a few achievements stump you? And while you're at it, share your own stories — the feats you're proudest of, or the grinds you dread most. We all have that one achievement that haunts us.

So, how many do you think you can get right? Will you be testing your achievement knowledge?
