Firstly, a little preamble as to why this is on my mind:
I've been having a blast playing Team Sonic Racing lately (it's at a super low price on Steam so I grabbed it). I've played Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed before, and I'd like to go back and play the first game, Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing. It's mega cheap on Steam right now too... but of course, it doesn't have Steam achievements.
This happens more often than I'd like and it typically leaves me with two options: enjoy the superior PC version with no achievements, or pick the game up on console (in this case Xbox 360 or PS3) and have a worse experience (720p 30fps) but at least I can earn achievements this way. Whichever option I choose in less than ideal.
Of course sometimes there are PC-only games that just don't have achievements to begin with.
Hopefully one day we'll have manual/user-submitted achievement support on this site so we can cover stuff like this, and Switch games and so on. But until then, this sort of thing remains a pain in the backside.
Anyway, here are some PC games I wish had achievements off the top of my head:
Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing
Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 (and pretty much all other C&C games)
Street Fighter x Tekken (the GFWL version had achievements but obviously that's dead)
Mirror's Edge
Crash Bandicoot 4 (Battle.net exclusive, no achievements, bleeeh)
Worms Pinball (okay this is super old... but achievements would be neat, hopefully RetroAchievements will do the PS1 version)
Undertale
What PC games do you wish had achievements?
