Few notes on several games (also: sorry in advance for length of entry) & trophies.
These are my own experiencies. I am NOT stating that the same problem(s) occure for others.
Just want to give some feedback. Maybe others did receive these trophies that i didn´t.
*************************************************
Stories: Path of Destinies:
Note & advice in this thread are: "All the achievements are currently not obtainable. (Roll back for unlock them)"
Well: i was able to obtain 62% achievements progress...by funkying around with several down-/upgrades of ALL avaiable versions (in Gv1.2 - did not try with Gv2, but i doubt this makes a difference in this very scenario which Galaxy you use). I ended the game multiple times in separate versions & to my experience it´s totally random which achievements you get. So this is still a bug infested mess.
I would say that I met the requirements for achieving these very trophies, but did not get these:
Sword Fu Master
Bookworm
Unreal treasures
Running out of pockets
Old fox new tricks
The Crows and the Fox
Get over here!
Boom to your doom
Is it a Grunt? In a can?
What magic?
The Good, the Bad and the Grunt
Anger management
Finders keepers

Regarding The Uncertain: Last Quiet Day
Achievement Bug "That's much better!" (with Galaxy v2.0.18)
I wrote in steam community hub for this & one of devs ("oreordaz") answered already ("Hello. Thanks for the report, I passed the information to our guys."). So let´s see what happens next. Until now: nothing.
***SPOILER***:
In Gog version (in-game it is showing 1.0.7, while offline installers are 1.0.1.002_(39782)) the following bug is occuring:
For achievement "That's much better!", you need to find the generator room in the hidden lab and start it by completing a puzzle on the nearby computer.
Well i did find the generator and solved the puzzle several times - but: the game sort of "freezes"; the robot is not moving any more, no further game actions can be done. All you can do is to switch to the main menu.
From main menu you can successfully end the game & start it again.
After restarting, you will be placed to the last savepoint which is...on the generators AFTER the solved riddle.
Now you can move, interact etc...everything is working, BUT: you do not receive the achievement.
I can reproduce this issue on two different pcs (both Galaxy 2 latest patch 2.0.18) -> I played this section ~ 9 times (...).
As i received the Steam version as an freebie, i installed it...& played it with my gog savegame (which is saved BEFORE the generator).
I received the achievement in my first run without any flaws. So i don´t think its the savegame nor my pc.
I did the usual Galaxy-foo by de-activating the overlay & also deleting some Galaxy-related files/paths - no success either.
Several other at gog subforum stated that they also have had problems for receiving it & they did have the exact same problem as described above. Therefore i think the implementation for this achievement is bugged.
This is the only achievement that is missing for me - i got all others without any problems.
*************************************************
Deponia 2: Chaos on Deponia
- Cheater (Roll back for obtain it)
Deponia 3: Goodbye Deponia
- Ornithorhynchologist
--> got those two trophies without any problems with Galaxy 2.0.23 Hotfix & Game versions 3.3.2351 (Deponia 2) and 3.3.3335 (Deponia 3).
I did NOT have to roll back for obtaining it.
I did NOT have to use the save games as provided from Deadalic on their website.
I can not judge if this is "normal" behaviour or just an coincidence.
Regarding D2 - Pin-up Goal -> i was too lazy to try to obtain this one...maybe in some distant future i am trying for it & may report here. :-)
***************************************************
Maybe the following ones are worth to monitor (?); so if others would kindly like confirm, if they had the same experiencies (or not) this would be appreciated:
Book of Demons:
Third time's a charm
Defeat the Archdemon with all three heroes
Oh well...my poor poor wrists - several runs by trying new savegames & also game versions...) for getting this lousy achievement. Well: It won´t popup. Maybe it was just my personal "luck"...so this is may be bugged as well.
***************************************************
Life is Strange: Before the Storm: i was able to obtain 100% trophies - but the 100% badge won´t occur. Opened a ticket at support & was told that the system is not able to manually add badges retro-actively. Not a problem at all, just FYI that badges could be "a thing" as well.
***************************************************
Call of Juarez: Gunslinger:
"Swift Justice - Win a duel honorably in under 0.6s."
Well: two time i was able to win a duel in 0.5s. At least that was, what i was seeing on my monitor...but the trophy was not given for it. Problem is, that this section is very fast ending - i was not able to press "F12" for getting an screenshot, so i can not proof it. I am pretty sure, that i did not mix up 0.5s with 0.6s with my old eyes...maybe some others could give their feedback as well for this.
Still proud on my reflexes. :-)
***************************************************
Slain: Back From Hell
"Guard! Turn! Parry! Dodge! Spin! Ha! - Successfully execute 100 Critical Strikes." -> I am convinced this one is plain broke due to poor game controlling implementation (or at least very unfair hitbox parameters). I even let a friend of mine play this on my pc - we were both not able to obtain the trophy either with a controller or keyboard/mouse. I wasted three hours on this (yes, i know...), was not able to get this one.
"Four Legged Friend - Complete the Wolf Run without losing any health." -> Well, tbh i am not too sure of this one...during the run, if you get hit by the wolf (that is hunting you) there is a soundish feedback (so you know that you have been bitten by the wolf). I was under the expression, that i was able for doing several "clean" runs without any sound (& the wolf was not nearby at all...), but did not get the trophy. For this also, it´s worth to wait if others have had the same problem.
***************************************************
Darksiders Genesis - broken achievements for:
Belial
Dagon
Infested
Moloch
Thats a shame, because these are mostly the bosses (...).
"Blademaster" - i am "working" on this one. ;-) Can´t confirm this at this very moment.
All other achievements work well for me with Galaxy 2 latest Hotfix and also Game latest patch (1.04a_(40304)).
I know that Alexim already answered in the Gog darksiders subforum for this. As it´s not listed here, i thought it´s worth mention it (?).
As it´s kind of new, they maybe patch this. But THQ Nordic & Gog Achievements, oh well...

Ping! You received a Trophy for reading this way too long post.
