The table lists all 55 Steam achievements with the description Steam shows and the percentage of Steam players who have unlocked each one, taken from Steam’s own global statistics. The page rebuilds from Steam’s data whenever the site is updated, so the rates shift as more people play. We describe only what Steam’s text says; we don’t add walkthrough steps we haven’t verified.
