Blues and Bullets
You may not know what exactly Blues and Bullets is. Basically, it is an episodic alternate history noir game developed by A Crowd of Monsters, in which the player tries to find clues and solve the mystery. As is the case with many episodic games, the achievement list is very simple. The whole season will have 36 achievements and 200G per episode.
By the end of April, two episodes have been released. Each episode has 7 achievements (5 x 15G, 1 x 25G, 1 x 100G) and all but the 100G are unlocked by completing the episode – a la Telltale games. The 100G achievement for each episode is awarded when you ‘interact with all the clues and items of interest.’ The Wolf Among Us is another game that followed this style, and generally it’s not difficult. Completing the story will get you a lot of Gamerscore and a little bit of extra effort will get you 1000G.

TRON: RUN/r
The Xbox One version of TRON RUN/r suffered a few delays. The PC and PlayStation 4 version were released a couple months ago, but now Xbox players can experience the third person runner in the Tron universe. The runner relies on quick reactions and the ability to learn quickly. It is quite expensive for a game in the genre, but it’s fun and offers 1000G spread over 15 achievements.
Some of the lower weighted achievements (worth between 10G and 50G) are easily earned and will be unlocked within the first few levels. Even the 100G achievements aren’t too difficult and can be earned easily after a short time playing. The 200G one, awarded for earning 96 stars, will take a while because it requires maximum stars on every level. However, since each trophy carries a high amount of G, even a short time playing TRON RUN/r will boost your Gamerscore.

Quantum Break
Quantum Break is one of the Xbox One’s biggest releases of 2016. With the pairing of television episodes and gameplay, Remedy’s game offers something that is unique on current generation consoles. Since the story is the main focus of the title, it is no surprise that many of the achievements are awarded as the player progresses.
The list features 42 achievements, 22 of which are hidden and story related. Completing the game on hard is worth 50G, so the hardest achievement in the game is not heavily weighted. However, playing the game just once will unlock the majority of the achievements. Since you will want to play the game at least twice to experience everything the story has to offer, you’ll unlock most of the achievements easily.
Because the achievement list is so story-based, we don’t want to include the spoilers here. If you are not worried about spoilers, you can see the full list here.
The Walking Dead: Michonne: Episode 3
Another month, another set of easy achievements in a Telltale game. As was the case for episode one and two of Michonne, the spin-off of the main Walking Dead series, the list for episode three features seven achievements, all of which are unlocked by completing chapters of the game.
Episode 3 is the conclusion of Michonne’s story; players will continue to learn about her past, as well as more about the world of The Walking Dead.
The list for the whole of season one features 21 achievements, all of which require the player to do nothing more than finish the game once. The achievement list might not be very inventive, but it is certainly easy. Check out our reviews of episode one and episode two!
This month also sees the physical release of an older Telltale game, Tales from the Borderlands. The spin-off of the popular shooter is hilarious, features great characters, and has a very easy list of achievements.

Brick Breaker
Brick Breaker is an updated version of the classic game. It tests your reaction and precision and can be played in 4 player split screen. Not much thought has gone into the achievement list – every one of the 20 achievements is worth 50G, but they aren’t all at the same level of difficulty. Ten of them are for completing a certain number of levels in Arcade mode, others are awarded for Survival mode, and some for getting stars on levels. Playing through the game will unlock most of the achievements and, since all are worth the same amount, jumping in for a short amount of time will earn quite a lot of Gamerscore.
