A Broken Mess: Not Recommended for Achievement Hunters/ Completionists

The game is very buggy. After playing multiple levels, I realized that I wasn't unlocking any achievements. I checked the achievements list. Turns out I had already done the actions that should have unlocked specific achievements. Something was clearly wrong.
Validated files, rebooted game and tried to get achievements. This time I did get some but not others.
The one-time achievements are possible to get. But the count based achievements (e.g., kill 100 blue enemies) are awful. Because of how buggy this game is, your actions are not properly tracked. For example, if you kill blue enemies in a single level, the game sometimes registers this as ONE ENEMY that was killed. That means that you have to grind A LOT to get a single achievement!
Yes I tested all of this. I researched the problem and followed tips from other gamers. Don't restart the level, validate files, restart the game, restart your computer, only hunt achievements on completed levels etc. After a certain point, you burn out and give up. There is only so much you can as a gamer.
There are posts on Steam discussions about the broken achievements from 2016. That's nearly a decade ago! The devs did not bother to fix the game at the time. Today, I doubt that Embracer Group (the current owners) are gonna bother.
As such, this game is permanently broken. I cannot recommend it for achievement hunters/completionists.

Overall Rating

2/10, Great puzzle game, fun and cerebral, but broken for achievement hunters/completionists
