I don’t go for Platinum Trophies because I dislike meaningless grinds
I groaned the first few times I ever got a "you made 10 head shots" award or whatever. I didn't think anyone would fall for them or their bad puns. Now it's an essential thing that every developer has to design into their games if we don't want them ignored.

There are rules about how many you need and of what type, and devs probably didn't budget much time for the achievements, so they quickly come up with something simple but grindy to get it shipped

I'm not one to hunt for a platinum unless it is on the easy side, but I have to admit the pull of the trophies in general is real. It took playing my Switch to make my brain not care about getting them. It's fun but also sucks.

achievements can be good, if actual thought is put into them. prime example imo is orange box. getting the gnome to the rocket was something else. also any achievements that make you do something mundane in a fun way, like beating bosses using nonstandard means.

I like achievements that reward non-standard or high level play (Clear in X amount of time, only fire once, etc), but those are rarer these days.

There's an opportunity to use achievements as a tutorial for advanced game mechanics. Occasionally, I see an achievement asking me to do something and it makes me think "I can do that?"
