How to Find Achievement Guides for a Specific Steam Game on TrueSteamAchievements
Updated
TrueSteamAchievements (truesteamachievements.com) publishes per-game walkthroughs that list every achievement, its point value in TSA, and the equivalent Gamerscore-style number. To find one for a specific game, the fastest route is the Latest Walkthroughs list on the homepage if the game is recent, or the All Steam walkthroughs link if it is older. Each guide entry shows the achievement count and total points up front, so you can judge coverage before opening it.
What a guide entry tells you before you click
The walkthrough listings are compact but informative. A typical entry looks like this:
| Field | Example | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Game name | Final Fantasy IX Guide | The guide's target game |
| Achievement count | 85 Achievements | Total achievements covered |
| TSA points | 1,588 TSA | Site-specific score for completing them |
| Secondary value | (850 ) | The equivalent score shown in parentheses |
The achievement count is the most useful filter. A guide listing "2 Achievements" (like Desert Bus VR) covers a tiny game, while "98 Achievements" (Bitburner) signals a long completion. If the count looks lower than the game's actual achievement total, the guide may be incomplete or still in progress.
Step-by-step: locating a guide
- Open the homepage. The Latest Walkthroughs block sits in the middle of the page and lists the most recently published guides, each with its achievement count and TSA value.
- Scan for your game. If it appears, click the guide title to open the full walkthrough.
- If it is not in the latest list, click All Steam walkthroughs at the bottom of that block. This is the full index rather than a recent-activity feed.
- Check the achievement count against the game. The number in the listing should match what you expect from the game's store page or your own library.
- Use the guide's structure. Guides are organized around achievements, so you can work through them in order or jump to a specific achievement you are stuck on.
Expected result: you land on a page that names each achievement and explains how to unlock it, with the point values attached.
Coverage: popular games vs. niche titles
The site's guide library is broad rather than limited to blockbusters. Recent examples span very different sizes:
- Large guides: Bitburner (98 achievements, 2,438 TSA), Final Fantasy IX (85 achievements, 1,588 TSA), Quantum Break (42 achievements, 578 TSA)
- Mid-size guides: ROBOBEAT (38 achievements, 1,022 TSA), The Forgotten City (40 achievements, 509 TSA), Tabletop Simulator (27 achievements, 886 TSA)
- Small guides: Cat Quest (12 achievements, 170 TSA), The Language of Love (14 achievements, 140 TSA), Desert Bus VR (2 achievements, 24 TSA)
This spread matters for your search: if your game is a small indie or a demo, it may still have a guide, but the entry will be short. If it is a large RPG or simulation game, expect a long guide with many achievements to track.
When the guide you want does not exist yet
Not every Steam game has a walkthrough on the site. If your game is missing from the All Steam walkthroughs index:
- Check the Latest Steam Achievements section instead. It lists newly added achievement sets, including DLC and playtest entries, which may cover a game before a full walkthrough is written.
- Look at the Hot games on Steam block on the homepage, which surfaces games with active achievement tracking (for example, CONTROL Resonant, Aniimo, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, Graveyard Keeper 2).
- If the game is brand new, the achievement list may exist without a step-by-step guide, since guides are written after release.
Related pages worth knowing
- Site Leaderboard – shows top trackers by total TSA points (the top entry is currently over 3.1 million), useful for gauging how the point system scales.
- Highest Scoring Games – ranks games by total available points (Zaccaria Pinball leads at 237,186), which helps you pick high-value completions.
- Steam sale round-ups – posted regularly with regional pricing flags and a Price Alerts feature, separate from the achievement side of the site.
The practical takeaway: start with Latest Walkthroughs for recent games, fall back to All Steam walkthroughs for anything older, and read the achievement count before committing to a guide so you know how much work it represents.
