I recommend iin. It's a puzzle game and you get an achievement for every puzzle you solve. Puzzles are easy and the game is only 5 bucks. I save it for when the weekly rewards set requires you to get 3 achievements.
I’d hold off on blasting through these too quickly. Every few months Microsoft Rewards has a week/fortnight where you are given 1 Microsoft Reward point for each achievement point, up to a maximum of 10000. Great way to get achievement score and money off games or subscriptions
@ChopperCampbell there hasn't been a 10k punch card for nearly a year, at least in the UK. You are right though, lists like this always used to get me through them.
Thank you PJ.
My Game Pass game for this month will be the first Halo. Never played any of them before, and I don't like FPSs that much. Hope it holds up!
@Jango-Forest I think you'll enjoy it 👍
I recommend Contrast - brand new on Game Pass: it's the easiest game I've completed with 1000gp and enjoyed in its few hours. Sea of Solitude is another very easy one.
You shouldn't be playing Donut County, The Artful Escape, Unpacking and What Remains of Edith Finch because they're easy achievement completions; you should be playing them because they're f-ing great games.
I'm going to try Townscraper and Contrast
I’m playing Omno and it seems to be a fairly easy completion! Great little chill game!
Xbox scheme right?
Donut Country is a nice little game to play between Plague Tale sessions.
I gotta finish Day of the Tentacle!
They don't come too easily in RDR, Arkham Knight, or Witcher 3. That's for damn sure.
We now have Coffee Talk Ep 2, as well. Not sure about the specifics of achievements and time versus the first game, but it is not long, has achievements, and I found it enjoyable
McPixel 3 is a game I do one achievement a day and you usually can do in 2-5 minutes or less…
Don't Doom and Doom II have easy achievements, too? I haven't played them on Xbox so I don't know.
I love articles like this.
@ChopperCampbell is this in the US? Not think ever saw or noticed that offer.
@Jango-Forest You've never played Halo before? Surprised the Xbox police have not arrested and imprisoned you. Been lucky.
I'm quite a new adopter to Xbox, I'm multiplatform and I'm not into achievement hunting so mine will never be big. Don't get me wrong, trophies are nice to have pop up, but I don't go after them so I think I'm happy with my pathetic little score.
Still a cool list and idea though!
Return to Grace and A Little To The Left are 2 short, enjoyable games I have played recently. I did not 100% them myself. For 100% achievements I think Grace still qualifies but Little would not, as 100% requires a hint free playthrough and daily play for 30 consecutive days (only a few minutes, but not in the spirit of quick and easy points)
I'm confused, are they saying 1 - 2 hours to beat the game and get 1000g? Cause there's no way for some of these.
McPixel 3 might be a good addition to this list. Not sure how it compares in total time, but achievements are generally not hard to get. I got all but a few without actively trying. I used it as a wind down game that also netted achievements toward the rewards points daily quests
Can someone please explain to me the
Purpose and point of a game score, isn’t it just a my genitals are bigger then yours type situation. Because if you’re older than say 12 and you’re playing Bluey for the achievements, you went wrong somewhere and you need help filling that void.
@AdolBannings-Laylee I have a mate who will only play games he can 100% on gamerscore no elden ring or anything like that he would touch but has 100% completed all the Hannah Montana and SpongeBob and every other child's games there is it must be an addiction because he's like that since the 360 days ha
Also inside can't be completed 100% in 2 hrs sorry not on the first run!
@Ricky-Spanish Elden Ring achievements are pretty reasonable actually. It's not BS like, say, Gears of War games.
