Without Escape

Without Escape Achievements

The easiest completion on our list this week (according to TA ratios) is Without Escape, the point-and-click adventure game from easy completion publisher eastasiasoft. Without Escape has 12 achievements that can be unlocked in around 30 minutes or so, with most coming from playing through the game's story. If you need it, we have a Without Escape walkthrough (written by Dwaggienite) that details exactly what you need to do to unlock each achievement. If you do decide to stump up the $2.49/£2.09/€2.49 for the game, it looks like you'll be playing it solely for the Gamerscore as Without Escape sits with a poor 2.01/5 community rating.

I, Zombie

I Zombie

At just $0.99/£0.79/€0.99, I, Zombie is our easiest cheapest game this week. The strategy game has 12 achievements that will take you between two and three hours to unlock. While most are pretty simple to pop, some may have trouble with the two speedrunning achievements: Speedrunner and Snowrunner. I, Zombie holds a lowly community rating of 2.64/5, so if you do pick this one up, don't expect the most riveting gameplay experience.

However, if you're really looking to get the most bang for your buck, make sure you check out Castle of No Escape, Castle of No Escape 2, and Pixel Gladiator from Xitilon. Both of the Castle of No Escape titles are worth a total of 3,000 Gamerscore, while Pixel Gladiator has a total of 2,000 Gamerscore attached.

Inside

Inside 3

Now, we move onto the game with the highest community rating on our list, Inside, which holds a rating of 4.26/5. The creepy and superb puzzle platformer has 14 achievements that will take you between three and four hours to unlock. Every single achievement has been flagged as a collectable, so your best bet would be to follow Unrehearsed's excellent Inside walkthrough, just so you don't miss an achievement during your playthrough. Inside is on sale for $4.99/£3.99/€4.99, but you could pick up the Inside & Limbo Bundle, which includes the fantastic platformer Limbo for just a couple of dollars/pounds/euros more.
