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.
If I remember correctly to 100% Mario Odyssey you need 999 moons. The game gives you 850 or so normal/good/fun moons, but the last 150 or so you have to buy with coins. For me this meant grinding a flower challenge in Bowsers Castle ~20 times in a row.
I did it, but that part wasn’t fun.
The rest of the game is perfect, but that part would keep me from 100 percenting the game again.
You can 100% the first three Spyro games in about 9-12 hours each. The first one can be done without any backtracking, even, since you have the same move set throughout.
I believe modern games take 100% runs way too far. I enjoyed 100%-ing the 3D Mario games… and then I got to Odyssey, and it was such a ridiculous slog that I couldn’t get much further than the standard ending.
Please just check the system requirements next time, unless you’re facing special circumstances or have reason to believe the official specs are inaccurate. You can find them on the publisher’s web site or the Steam Store page.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Elden Ring and most other soulslikes.
Other games are unbearable to try 100%, for example: Cities Skylines where you have to wait for a generated special natural disaster that may or may not appear after X hours in your current savegame.
If you mean 100% achievements on Steam for example, I really enjoyed doing that with the following games:
Slipstream (2018): arcade racing game, 7.5h to 100%
SpongeBob: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated (2020): platformer with some collectathon elements, 13h to 100%
Polyball (2017): think Super Monkey Ball, but a bit faster and stronger momentum iirc, gets quite difficult later on, and although the amount of content isn’t ridiculous, it’s very very hard to manage the requirements for 100%. My playtime is 59h, but I kept playing after 100% to get into the top 10 leaderboards on a bunch of levels, so I think it was more like 30-40h for 100%.
The Stanley Parable (2013): narrative game with some unconventional puzzle elements, 40h to 100%, but not really: one of the achievements is “play the game for the entirety of a Tuesday”, so that adds over 24h. Another achievement is to not play the game at all for 5 years. Some people love this silly stuff, some hate it, up to you :)
Firewatch (2016): narrative game with exploration and some puzzles, 6h to 100%.
Oh that’s really rare for me, since I’m not a person who can generally do “grindy” parts well if the grind extends past what is clearly the main intent of the game (that is, usually the story).
The last game I 100%ed is Pineapple On Pizza. A free 10 minute game, 20 if you go for all achievements. Says a lot about me I suppose. 😅
However, I do sometimes go after rare achievements because the ideas behind them sound intriguing to me. But I can’t be arsed to go for all the other stuff, ingame and external, too. One good example of something I had to do is that the expansion Hate Plus has an achievement that for the longest time would get manually credited by the dev if, at a fitting moment in the story, you bake an actual cake and take a picture with it in front of the monitor at that scene.
Was time to bake something again, anyways. 🎂
You’d probably be able to 100% Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion. Only about an hour or two to finish the game, and another 15-30 minutes to figure out the two extra achievements.
I bet it would probably work. You mentioned you’re buying this, just make sure you’re not getting ripped off. This isn’t a very good system for gaming (considering how ridiculous system requirements for modern games are) so I hope your guy isn’t trying to pass that off as such. You can get stuff like this really cheaply on ebay, especially if you have the patience to bargain hunt.
Sable was a perfect open world that I 100% in about 30 hrs. Totally didn’t overstay it’s welcome. I think they added a fishing quest after I played it so not sure how much that changed things.
I really liked that game and got to 100%, but damn the frame drops. Did the devs ever fix that? It was excruciating anytime you took the hover bike anywhere
