Limited Save Runs
Having achievements tied to beating a video game’s specific difficulty setting is nothing new and often offers users a fair and interesting challenge that rewards their efforts. We say often because there are a few titles that decide to limit a player’s saving feature in order to arbitrarily raise the difficulty. One of the most notable examples of this is Deus Ex: Mankind Divided’s “I Didn’t Ask For This” achievement.
While the general challenge is raised here, the biggest problem is that players have a single save file that can be used as much as you want. However, auto-saving is disabled and if you die, that save is completely wiped, forcing you to start over from the beginning. You can get around this by quickly closing out your application or shutting off the system, but one shouldn’t have to jump through so many hoops for some extra Gamerscore.
