In the Xbox 360 era, Microsoft creatively added an achievement system to the console: when players pass a specific storyline or complete a specific operation in the game, they can get the corresponding achievement as a reward.
This mechanism was later learned from other platforms. Whether it is the “platinum” of the PS series console or the “full achievement” of the Steam platform, it has become the motivation for many players to insist on playing, and can even be called a game The “soul” of the game.
This also prevented Ubisoft’s “Assassin’s Creed: Viking Age” from having an achievement system when it came to Steam, causing confusion among players, who at one point thought it was an operational bug at Ubisoft.
But recently, Ubisoft developers responded to user questions in the Steam community and confirmed that “Assassin’s Creed: Viking Age” does not support the Steam achievement system.
For an open world game with a very long process and a large number of collection items, not supporting the achievement system will no doubt greatly frustrate the players’ desire to play.
