Glossary Entry: Achievement
Quick Definition
Many games feature special badges or trophies for the player to earn by performing specific (and often very difficult) feats within the game. These are known as "achievements" after the term used for them on services like Steam or Origin, where they originally became popular.
Many players enjoy the challenge of earning them, and so achievements add an extra amount of value to a game.
