As per title. Most computer games these days are made with such unnecessary padding that I want to murder the devs or myself by the end. See, for example, Hyrule Warriors, the 100% 1000 Hour Nightmare, the Review.
The second game I ever 100%ed was Arceus and I still can’t stand the thought of picking it up again, years later. The first game was Horizon Zero Dawn, which is still fun.

I got 100% on Final Fantasy X-II. Don’t. Just don’t.
Or FF13. Some of the ultima weapons in that game require so much fucking grinding.
I really enjoyed Hades
I didn’t hate Hades, I liked it a lot, but I absolutely would have hated 100%ing that game.
This is why FSM made YouTube clips of secret endings.
For me it came naturally… I tried improving my times and using more pacts… the game is so fun I just kept playing it and competing with my previous times
Yeah, one of the only games I’ve 100%ed, the achievements are deliberately set up so that you can get most of them organically by the time you get to the true ending. The rarest achievement on Steam has like a 6% obtainment rate, which is a lot.
Elden Ring.
You’re either going to hate it long before you 100% it or you will 100% it because you love it so much.
Factorio
Bioshock trilogy
Why? The padding is there for those with the stomach for it, but you can just… play a new game once you’ve stopped having fun?
Return to the Obra Dinn
My first thought as well.
By the time I got to the end and didn’t have a few secret achievements I was angry because I solved the puzzle entirely. Great game, probably my most common recommendation, but it doesn’t fit this category exactly.
That said, I was much less frustrated than I woukd be for other games.
The last game I did 100% was Psychonauts 2. I loved the world and after playing the fantastic story it was a good reason to spend some extra hours revisiting the levels.
Pokemon Uranium. The (in)famous(?) banned fan game that is still being developed. Minus a couple pokemon, it follows the Black and White philosophy of having no returning pokemon.
I’ve played through the game multiple times, beating the final fight for the main story and calling it there, without hating myself or the game.
Hell, I’ve even gone through the trouble of completing the pokedex once and struggled to find an early route bird for the last two entries I needed. Pokedex for that game can be hard because when it comes to 2 of the pokemon, you can only get one per save and must online trade to get the counterpart and 1 line is a trade evolution with no in game trades for it or trade evo items. Obviously starters require online trade, too.
Only problem I have with it is the fact I’m still waiting for the rest of the post game to be developed and released so I can hopefully get the unreleased legendaries you can find on the fandom wiki.
stardew valley!
100 golden walnuts was enough
Escape velocity (1996, ambrosia software game for macOS). My favorite computer game of all time I think.
Check out Endless Sky if you haven’t heard of it
I heard about it when it was in development but hadn’t followed up! I still have escape velocity on my 2024 Mac but maybe I will check I out the loving homage.
Yes!
Love that game, and the sequels; EV Override and EV Nova. I was looking for a game that played like Starflight, a PC game from the 80s, found EV and was pleasantly surprised.
Though I do hold Starflight in higher regard than EV. It deserves a solid remake.
Armored Core 6 is pretty easy to 100% and it’s really enjoyable the whole way there. Just don’t bother with PvP.
And my favorite 100% grinding game that I keep playing just because I enjoy it so much, is the Earth Defense Force series. The game encourages you to play each mission with each of the 4 classes in each of the 5 difficulty levels. Even though clearing Hard also gives you Easy and Normal completion too, you’re still looking at over 200 hours of gameplay, easily. The games have over 100 missions, tons of weapons to gradually improve, and at higher levels become true combat puzzles to solve with said weapons. Cheese is a way of life, in an enjoyable way.
I got 100% on hollow knight and ender lilies. Two good metroidvanias
City Skylines
100%a game only exists for people who really want to sink in some hours. That just isn’t me. I’ll beat a game amd ignore all the percentage stuff.
