60 achievements Guide 29% Singleplayer
A great story-driven adventure, relaxing to play. Straightforward enough achievements; some unmissable just for completing each episode and the rest are soft-missable optional collectible-style achievements for taking photos at various points through the game. If you miss any, after completing each episode you can replay in "Collectible Mode" to pick them up - the game deliberately helps you out with this; so they are all Soft-Missable.
