Option to disable hidden achievements

[Nakashi22]

I don't mind spoilers on achievements (apparently one of the reasons for hidden achievements), I just want to see the game achievements that's missing for me without having to go to a guide.
Achievements hidden by game could be enabled by default but with the possibility of being disabled by the user in the options.

That's up to the dev/pubs. The other reason for hidden cheevos is sometimes devs want you to actually work for it and puzzle it out yourself.

Well, I think the player should choose whether to have something like this.
I am playing a game now that currently has 22 hidden achievements, the only puzzle is identifying what's missing by the guide.

I know, my main post is a suggestion on a place made for suggestions and ideas.

If you click "View global achievement stats" it will show you the list of all achievements. You will at least see their names but there will be no description

Then a site like this one can help with the rest: https://www.trueachievements.com/game/Starbound/achievements

Yes, I already found this with some research on the internet, it seems that it is not yet complete as to know the achievements that are missing for me at a quick glance how i think it should be.

Ok now I think I understand.
There's also a way to see that but it's a feature of one of achievement tracking websites.
Example here: https://completionist.me/steam/profile/76561198062305279/app/211820

I can check all the achievements that haven't been earned yet quite easily and there are descriptions as well.

I don't think Steam will have this kind of functionality anytime soon or ever though. It makes sense for a dedicated website to have deep functionality because many people who use that website are interested in extra stats. But on Steam many people don't care about things beyond basic functionality.

global achievement page of a game does not display the description of cheeves marked as hidden. that is on purpose.
the completion indicator on that page is the image itself. locked is supposed to look noticeably different than unlocked. depends how the dev wanted to do the images as that is their task.
mostly it is: no color = locked, color = unlocked.

possibly unlikely that this will change anytime soon.

there is an established browser addon
https://augmentedsteam.com/
that modifies the achievement page to display the hidden ones and reveal the description on demand.
