10 Insulting Video Game Achievements That 'Reward' You For Sucking

1. No Show - Prey

Prey is one of the best games of this generation, primarily because it encourages you to play however you want. A lot of releases make similar claims these days, but Arkane Studio's immersive sim delivers on that promise of freedom, designing each area to respond to whatever mad idea the player has to complete their objective (or simply mess around), and adapt accordingly.

Experimentation is encouraged, and it can lead to players investigating every nook and cranny to see just what kinds of behaviour the devs accounted for. This includes the opening as well, which is more linear than anything else in the game, as your character wakes up and takes a helicopter to their destination.

It's so straight-forward you might not even realise you have any choice in what you can do, but there is a way to utterly f*ck up this simple introduction and get yourself killed before you even set eyes on one of the face-smashing aliens you'll be fighting for the rest of the game.

That's because when boarding the helicopter, an eager jump or an awkward climb can see you coming face to face with the spinning propellors, and there's only one winner in a situation like that. Get yourself chopped up, and the game will restart, but not before giving you the "No Show" achievement for failing the most simple task it has for you.
