Well done. In fact, you did so well, I'm going to note this on your file, in the commendations section. Oh, there's lots of room here. 'Did.... well. ... Enough.'
Achievements are sets of challenges or goals (from finding a secret room to finishing a test chamber in a certain time or with a limited number of portals) that give a acknowledgement to the player for this special action while playing the game. When a player obtains an achievement, a HUD notification will be shown on-screen.
Achievements can be completed at any time in the game, as long as cheats are not turned on. However, certain achievements are story-related and can only be unlocked when reaching a certain point in the scenario.
