Minecraft: Story Mode – Season 2 Episode 5
As December rolled around, the number of games hitting the Xbox One and other platforms really slowed down. That even affected Telltale Games who only released one new episode to their episodic series this month. Minecraft: Story Mode – Season 2 wrapped its story up with episode 5. As one of the best-written Telltale episodes (and series) we’ve had the pleasure of playing, we couldn’t recommend it enough for fans of the first series or just Minecraft in general.
Of course, the real reason Story Mode season 2’s finale made it onto this list is because of its incredibly easy list of achievements. Finish the episode in a couple of hours and you’ll not only be 200G richer, but you’ll also have got all 1000G from the season. Telltale continues to spoil us with these seasons filled with easy achievements. Simply complete each of the episodes and it’s all yours.
Life Is Strange: Before the Storm – Episode 3
Telltale wasn’t the only developer offering up some episodic goodness in December. Deck Nine also released the final episode of its Life Is Strange: Before the Storm three part mini-series. Rather than following in the supernatural footsteps of the original series, Before the Storm tells a more personal and grounded tale of Chloe Price and Rachel Amber’s relationship. Though it might not sound quite as exciting without being able to rewind time, Deck Nine did an excellent job at making the characters the real stars of the show here.
While you’ll have to do a little more than just finishing this final episode to get all of the trophies, it shouldn’t take you too long to wrap up. The episode takes a few hours to finish (depending on how much you explore the world), and then you’ll need to simply use the Collector Mode to find and do all of the optional graffiti opportunities you have in the episode. There are 10 in total, and most of them aren’t too difficult to find if you explore the world. Still, for anyone who is struggling, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide for all three episodes here. That 1000G will be yours in no time, now!
Okami HD
Okami HD finally sees the critically-acclaimed 2006 title get the 4K treatment on Xbox One X and PS4 Pro and a general tidy up of its visuals for the 1080p platforms. Players guide the Shinto sun god, Amateratsu, through a world shrouded in darkness and must help save the world from the evil plaguing it once more.
At first glance, Okami HD’s achievement list can look a little daunting, and it’s certainly not as easy as the achievements up for grabs in the two episodes we’ve already mentioned here. It should go without saying that you’ll need to complete the game’s story if you want to get the full list, but if you don’t care about hunting down a bunch of collectibles and completing some other side quest-like requirements, you can still walk away with well over 500G. It might take you a while to get, with Okami HD being a fairly lengthy adventure, but it’s quite straightforward and never overly challenging. As such, if you want something a bit more substantial than a few series finales to help bump up your gamerscore from December, Okami HD is definitely worth checking out, especially at its budget price.
