Kill It With Fire dropped onto Xbox Game Pass last week, and while it's got lost in the wave of bigger upcoming releases such as Forza Horizon 5 and GTA: San Andreas, it's certainly not one to be missed - especially for any achievement hunters out there.
The basic premise of Kill It With Fire sees you wiping out hundreds of spiders using anything and everything. Revolvers, flamethrowers and even RPGs can be used to exterminate the pests, and it's a frightfully good time. Even if you're an arachnophobe - like us - it's really not too scary, and it's actually more empowering to take on those eight-legged freaks.
But as previously mentioned, and as the title suggests, the achievements are the real star here. Having jumped into the game over the weekend, we were able to blitz through the game's 24 achievements in just a couple of hours. We probably could have been finished even quicker if playing around in the toybox environments wasn't such a total blast.
While the levels seem to be stacked with an abundance of collectables and objectives at first, they're all incredibly easy to find and complete. There's even an upgrade for your radar later on which enables you to find any missing collectables. If you're still struggling, there's a fantastic guide over at PlayStation Trophies.
Simply completing these objectives only takes an hour or two, which just leaves the miscellaneous achievements. These genuinely are as simple as burning some money, smashing some dishes or even smacking a piano. It's not long before you'll have the full 1000 gamerscore.
Kill it With Fire highlights one of the positives of Xbox Game Pass - quick, simple games that are a blast to play and reward the player. It's perfect for anyone looking for an evening's worth of entertainment.
Don't let this fun little indie gem pass you by while it's in the service.

Thanks for the heads up, will keep this for a possible 10k rewards event
Personally I'm not too keen on this "achievement hunters" thing. I like to play games because I enjoy them, and there's better things I could be doing with my time (both in and outside of video games) than chasing down digital awards and points (for lotteries I probably won't win) from "achievements". That's me though, and I can appreciate that others like to spend their time differently.
@101Force As someone who has over 530K Gamerscore, I feel I get more out of a game when going for certain achievements, as you may well know yourself. You can sometimes discover something in a game by going for a certain achievement that you would otherwise of missed if you didn’t go looking and they can sometimes make you play in a unique way.
When I reached 500K I thought to myself that I’m just going to play games without going out of my way to unlock certain achievements, well I just can’t seem to stop myself lol I’m just glad I’m not a completionist as they are a completely different kettle of fish, I wouldn’t like my life taken over feeling like I need to 100% every single game I play.
@MaccaMUFC : If you enjoy the game to begin with, and the achievement isn't insane (which a lot of them aren't), I can understand going that extra mile for it.
I was going to try this anyway but this is music to my ears.
Sounds good except for my arachnophobia! I picked up The Gardens Between over the weekend before it leaves GP this month and got all 17 achievements in just over 3 hrs. Also it’s a very enjoyable game
