Gigantic: Rampage Edition

Gigantic: Rampage Edition is the fully-fledged definitive release of the original 5v5 MOBA hero shooter that launched way back in 2017. After selecting a hero from the game’s diverse roster of characters, each of which has their own unique abilities to upgrade, you will squad up with four other players to control objectives and take down the other team’s Guardian.

As for the Gigantic: Rampage Edition achievements, nobody on TrueAchievements has managed to unlock all 26, so we can’t give you a completion estimate.

Starbound

  • Reach for the stars with the Starbound achievements
  • Game Pass Tier: Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Standard, PC Game Pass
  • Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC
Starbound, which has already been included in PC Game Pass for some time now, is a side-scrolling action-adventure game set in a large open sandbox. After repairing your trusty starship, you are free to go wherever you want and do whatever you want in this procedurally generated and expansive world. Do you want to take on the sinister forces that destroyed your homeworld? Maybe you just want to settle down and do some space farming? The choice is yours.

Unfortunately, we don’t have enough data to give you a completion estimate for the Xbox version of Starbound.

Flock

  • You’ll fly through the Flock achievements in no time
  • Game Pass Tier: Game Pass Standard
  • Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC
The charming multiplayer co-op game Flock has you and other players fly across beautiful landscapes to collect and tend to a menagerie of weird and wonderful flying creatures. With small mysteries to uncover and interesting environmental puzzles to solve, Flock is a wonderfully chill experience that is great for unwinding with after a long day.

According to estimates, unlocking the 44 Flock achievements should only take around 15 hours. All achievements here can be unlocked solo, so you can go for the completion alone if you so choose.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess

Action-strategy game Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is an absolute treat, offering some fantastic third-person combat mixed with strategy elements as you attempt to stem the tide of demonic Seethe. It’s set on a Japanese mountain and uses a gorgeous Japanese-inspired art style that features a vibrant palette of colors to bring its world to life. It’s a real treat to play, and one I couldn’t recommend enough.

If you fancy unlocking all 48 Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess achievements, you’ll need to set aside 30-35 hours for the completion. While we don’t have a walkthrough, there are plenty of individual guides on its achievements page to help you along if you get stuck.

Magical Delicacy

Cooking up tasty treats and brewing potions is the aim of the game with Magical Delicacy, a wholesome game about a trainee witch trying to make ends meet in a new town. Playing as Flora, you need to explore a Metroidvania-style world to collect fresh ingredients, take orders from your customers, meet other covens, and more as you help Flora pay off her debts and become a fully-fledged witch.

Flora can become a witch in pretty good time, as estimates suggest you can unlock all 26 Magical Delicacy achievements in around 30 hours. While we don’t have a walkthrough, we do have plenty of individual guides to help get you out of a tight spot — like when trying to use every ingredient for the Variety Star achievement.

Tchia

  • Sail and explore the Tchia achievements
  • Game Pass Tier: Game Pass Standard
  • Platforms: Xbox Series X|S
Tchia has voyaged onto Xbox Game Pass Standard, allowing you to change shape and begin a mythical adventure on the New Candelonian-inspired islands. With a roughly 20-hour completion time, it’s a sweetly sized journey too.

Tchia can shift forms from animal to animal and glide around the island. She can also sail and play the ukelele — what more could you want from a protagonist? It has a great artistic style and a surprisingly mature story given some of its more cutesy elements! It’s well worth a shot.

The Case of the Golden Idol

I'm just going to state the obvious straight away — if you use some of the individual achievement guides on TrueAchievements, this won't even be an hour-long completion. Given this is a game all about puzzles and working things out, take a second to mull over if that’s your bag or not first.

The game underneath is good fun. Who doesn’t love a murder mystery? The game loves twisting your mind with some of the puzzles, but I think if you get a thrill from keeping on top of minute details then it’s well worth a shot. Go, now! Solve a murder!

Don't forget, we also have the Xbox Developer Direct to look forward to this week as well, which will hopefully give us release dates for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Doom: The Dark Ages, and South of Midnight — plus a reveal for a new game from a "legendary Japanese IP," according to the rumors. As for this list, will you be diving into any of these games? Drop a comment below and let us know!
