Batman: The Telltale Series – Episode Four
Pretty much a staple series that any achievement hunter should be playing each month is Telltale’s Batman series. November brought about episode four, which sees Bruce in a tight spot in Arkham Asylum as he meets a familiar face and works on putting a stop to the Children of Arkham terrorizing Gotham.
Just like previous episodes, episode four has six achievements with a total of 200 Gamerscore attached to them. You’ll get 20 Gamerscore for completing each of the first five chapters, before receiving 100 Gamerscore for completing chapter six and the entirety of episode four. Even better, episode four only clocks in at about an hour and a half long, and while some areas of its story could have been fleshed out a little more, it was an enjoyable episode all the same.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
Firing players into the future, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare offers up a space-themed entry into the series. With its single-player campaign with a more fleshed-out story and side missions, solid multiplayer formula, and novel take on the popular zombies game mode, Infinite Warfare has a bit of something for everyone.
Xbox One achievement hunters will need to grab 50 achievements in Infinite Warfare if they want to come away with the full 1000 points. However, many of these are actually incredibly easy to get in a single playthrough of the campaign and a bit of time spent with the other modes. Thorough players can grab 300 Gamerscore alone from simply completing all of the main and side missions in the single-player campaign on any difficulty. There are also a few you’ll to look up beforehand, but after a playthrough of the campaign you can pick up just under half of what’s on offer.
Top this off with a quick blast in Zombies in Spaceland, and win five online matches in multiplayer, and you’ll be well on your way to grabbing the full set. There is one achievement, however, that may take a little time to complete. ‘The Longest Day’ requires you to complete all single player missions on Veteran for 100 Gamerscore, so be prepared for a long and arduous grind through that one. You can check out the full achievement list here.
Watch Dogs 2
Watch Dogs 2 has lovingly recreated the city of San Francisco and filled it with tons of stuff for you to go out and do. Of course, that’s if you can pull yourself away from putting a stop to ctOS 2.0 and exposing the hidden dangers of an operating system that controls and monitors the city’s population.
With so much do in Watch Dogs 2 outside of the missions, the achievement list is equally scattered. While you’ll pick up a bunch of the achievements from completing the main missions in the game, the rest of them all kind of focus on doing random things around San Francisco. Want to pet 10 dogs? You’ll get an achievement for it. Partake in a sailboat race? You guessed it, there’s an achievement for that, too.
As such, just simply exploring San Francisco and immersing yourself in the world of Watch Dogs 2 will yield a good percentage of the achievement list. You may need to pick up a guide to polish it off, and there are a couple of online-based achievements to get, but put the time into Watch Dogs 2 and this is an easy list to complete.
Final Fantasy XV
Now that it’s finally released on the Xbox One and PS4 after a 10-year development period, Final Fantasy XV sees players go on an adventure with Noctis and his friends across the world of Eos. On his journey to wed his fiancee Luna, Noctis is advised that his homeland has been invaded and his father killed. Prince Noctis and crew then set out on an adventure to uncover the truth of the events and reclaim his homeland.
Final Fantasy XV has 50 achievements totaling the usual 1000 points. When you first look at the achievement list, it may seem a little daunting, and that’s because getting all 1000 Gamerscore is going to take a long time. That doesn’t mean it’s necessarily going to be difficult, though. Though we won’t go into specifics so we can avoid spoiling the game, there are a couple of achievements that may pose a bit of a challenge, but considering these are two in a list of 50, you’re still going to be able to net yourself a healthy amount of Gamerscore with Final Fantasy XV. Take your time, explore the world, and complete every quest that you come across. Achievements will start popping in no time.
Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection
Filling in the gap of this year’s new Assassin’s Creed title, The Ezio Collection gives players the opportunity to replay Assassin’s Creed II, Brotherhood, and Revelations with some improved visuals. Of course, with throwing three games onto one disc comes the wonderful realization that there are a ton of achievements to be unlocked in The Ezio Collection.
With 149 achievements totaling 3000 points of Gamerscore, chances are you’re going to walk away with a smooth 1000 just from playing through the three games leisurely. Heck, if you only unlock the unmissable achievements across all three games, you’ve got over 1000 points. Add in the odd combat or collectible-based ones on top of that and The Ezio Collection is worthwhile picking up for any achievement hunters that need to fill the assassin-shaped gap of 2016.
