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.
Cyberpunk 2077 with Phantom Liberty. 100+ hours of pure joy. And when you need to take the edge off, you can always spend a nice evening with the love of your life.
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.
I got all but one achievement in Subnautica, and all of the achievements in Below Zero (the sequel) in my first playthrough of both games, just from taking my time and thoroughly exploring both of the worlds and completing the story without even consciously trying to go for the achievements.
With that said, they are open world games and at times don’t really give you a whole of guidance as to what you need to do next. So you are kind of left to explore and figure it out on your own. If you don’t like that sort of game you might end up hating them by the end too.
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.
For Pokemon Legends Arceus I think what would prevent me from playing it again after 100% isn’t the amount of repeated tasks to max out the Pokedex, most of which are fun and a few of which just suck. I think it’s the slow dialogue/gameplay. When playing the actual game I’m usually having fun. When I’m stuck in a forced tutorial or dialogue it’s just a slog.
Oh shit I played graveyard keeper until the beginning of the communist DLC and then forgot about it. Thx for the reminder, I need to finish it some time.
I just got 100% on Nier Automata, and I only loved it more as I played it more. Usually I hate any grinding in any game and will either skip any content that requires grinding, use mods to bypass it, or just put down the game and move on to another one. But the whole game just felt so damn good. I could just walk around for hours doing nothing because the movement felt so good.
There was quite a bit of grinding, but I didn’t find any of it too bad. I got 100% in about 50 hours, which is my sweet spot. Any longer and I feel like the game is dragging on.
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

Subnautica. It’s not long but I enjoyed every minute of it. And the requirements for a ‘perfect game’ on steam aren’t too difficult.
Kirby nightmare in Dreamland
It was tough, but I had an absolute blast 100%'ing Neon White and Hades

Do you recommend Below Zero? I loved subnautica so much but I generally think buying another game instead of an expansion is usually a better deal.
Absolutely magical game
Subnautica is AMAZING, an 8/10 for me. Absolutely stellar.
I enjoyed Below Zero. I gave it a 6/10, a good solid game. I absolutely recommend it if you enjoyed the first.
(I use the real rating scale like I rate movies, where 6/10 is a good game… not the bullshit “scale” that starts at 5/10 = shit game)
It’s made by a different team, but it’s still Subnautica. I liked it, just understand it’s not as good as the first.
I’m not sure ive ever 100%ed any game, except simple (mostly old) ones.
Maybe stuff like Super Mario World and Odyssey.
I almost did Oddworld 1 and didn’t hate it. Portal, I guess.
Ooh, Oddworld is a good shout. I loved 100%-ing Abe’s Exoddus

Solitaire.
I don’t think that’s possible. I’m fairly certain that unlike free cell, solitaire has unwinnable hands.
Based on games that I’ve 100% myself.
