If you're after a quick Gamerscore injection, Rubber Bandits could be the game for you. According to estimates, unlocking all 19 Rubber Bandits achievements will take around two hours. However, to complete it in this time, you will need either some extra controllers or some online pals to play with — check out our Rubber Bandits walkthrough for more info.

For those with a bit more time on their hands, you'll want to jump into Chained Echoes, which has a completion estimate of around 60 hours, and Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator, which estimates suggest can be completed in 35 hours. Thankfully, you can make the Potion Craft completion easier with our Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator walkthrough.

For the PC Xbox achievement hunters out there, the Zachtronics puzzle game Opus Magnum will take an estimated 25 hours to complete.
