Overwatch
Overwatch’s replayability makes it a great game to boost your gamerscore. Not only will you find that you’ll earn a lot of the achievements just from playing the game a lot, but the list itself is a pretty easy one to clear up.
There are 59 achievements with a total of 1000 points in Overwatch, and the best news is, they don’t require a lot of grinding to do. In fact, if you’re someone who plays with a lot of the characters, the achievements will come naturally. Many of them require you to kill a specific number of enemies with a character’s range of abilities. If you’re enjoying the game, these will simply come over time.

Tropico 5
While it’s been out on the PC for quite some time now, Tropico 5 launched on both the Xbox One and PS4 in May. Bringing with it a pretty lengthy list of 70 achievements with a grand total of 1500 gamerscore, these are achievements that you’ll largely be able to pick off as you become a better leader or dictator and the more your island thrives.
Achievements such as Made In Tropico, Extraordinary Popular Delusions, and Let Them Eat Cake will be achievements that you gradually unlock as you play through the game. A few games as a good leader, and the same as an evil dictator should see you taking away a healthy amount of achievements. A little extra grinding and a willingness for multiplayer and you can polish the list off. You can check out the full list here.
Superhot
Finally making its way to the Xbox One at the start of May, Superhot has 25 achievements totaling 1000 points. Many of the achievements in Superhot just require you to kill 100 enemies with the different weapons in the game. This may have been tricky if you just had the single-player campaign to do this in. However, the endless mode means you can take down wave after wave of enemies in no time and without the inconvenience of interludes between missions.
While 200G of the gamerscore is stuck behind the pretty tough Hercules achievement which requires you to beat all challenges, with a bit of time you can make a good 500+ points. The full achievement list for Superhot can be found here.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan
If you’re getting pretty desperate for boosting your gamerscore, or are a die-hard turtles fan, then Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan offers a pretty easy chunk of gamerscore. What makes Mutants in Manhattan such a good game for boosting your game cred is its predominantly single-player based achievement list and incredibly short campaign length.
While the story mode can be all wrapped up in just a few hours, if you do happen to miss any collectibles or need to do a quick replay to pick up the last few achievements, it won’t take all that long. If you can get your friends together for a quick blast on Mutants in Manhattan, the Sorry not Sorry achievement which requires you to “Have everyone perform a Communication Action during the snapshots when a boss is defeated” requires good timing and little else for a smooth 90 gamerscore.

Doom
Rounding off our easiest achievements list is the mindlessly gory shooter, Doom. While it does have one achievement that requires you to complete one mission on its incredibly punishing Ultra-Nightmare mode, the rest of the achievements can be polished off in two playthroughs with the help of a guide. Many of the achievements boasting the higher numbers of gamerscore simply require you to find all of one sort of collectible or upgrade currency.
Simply take your time as you make your way through Doom’s levels and have a keen eye on you at all times to make sure you don’t miss any. As for the multiplayer trophies, the only one that can take any significant amount of time being put into it is the one that requires you to reach level 5 in multiplayer. Luckily, even this shouldn’t take more than a couple of hours if you’re on a winning side. We would advise completing this sooner rather than later, though, just in case the servers start to go a little quiet.
