As an achievement hunter I should say that the new "Journey Mode" is incredibly broken for achievement hunting, as I have now acquired all 89 achievements in only 30 hours of play time. This is because Journey Mode allows you to "duplicate" items (gather enough of an item and you can get an infinite amount of it from the duplication menu), allows you to enable godmode (you can't die), allows you to change the in game time at will (this saves the most time because of the angler quests, which would otherwise take around 80 hours by themselves), and other useful stuff like having an enemy spawn rate slider to speed up farming certain drops.

I should say that "beating the game" this way is not fun, since there is no risk, and therefore no learning. I probably can't even get close to beating the game normally. Only use Journey Mode if you're really into building; as it is useful in that sense. Otherwise just play classic mode with some friends, that is the best experience.

But if you're only after the achievements just use Journey Mode, it is by far the fastest way.

Edit: I've started playing a new world with a friend and can say that playing the game normally with someone is by far the best experience you can have in this game. When the new achievements come out along with the 1.4.1 update tomorrow, I'll be getting them in classic mode with my friend. :)

Edit 2: Okay, I've poured 120 more hours into the game since my first 100%, and I just got the last achievement finally. Playing this with my friend has truly been an amazing experience.
