How do you feel about hidden achievements? Or ones that are basically riddles, or otherwise unclear from their description how to get it? Or ones that represent a clear challenge far beyond the primary intended path of play (not just "collect all the things", but accomplish X task in a time period or with a loadout you didn't think possible)?
Hidden achievements are fine. They let you compare with other people without spoiling secrets. You can't see them without getting them, which has some issues, but it's alright. I'm sure there's a way to view these anyway. The riddles basically fall into this too, except hiding them with a trick rather than a hidden tag.
Challenges are great. They don't really show progression, but it gives players something to do if they want. I don't think they add anything personally, but I'm fine with them.
