maa's guides hey everyone MAA here long time no see but I'm excited for a new year of content starting off with this video the easiest Games in Xbox game pass for gamer score updated for February 2024 and I'll make sure to make a new video should Xbox add Activision titles into game pass down the line now the purpose of this video is to recommend you games and Game Pass that can help you raise your gamer score reach new Milestones compete with friends on the leaderboard earn Microsoft Rewards or maybe you just want to play something fun but on the shorter end that you can enjoy in one night or one weekend I'll be tackling this video in a couple of groups starting off with the easiest 10 games in Game Pass we'll be talking about all the games that are under eight hours and I'll even tell you some games that you can stack on the PC version if you're feeling a little adventurous I think most people try to open up their guide and go to Game Pass here at the bottom which is not a bad option but personally I prefer going to my games and apps and then going to full library and then navigating over to Xbox game pass here I can actually Group by letter the tiles are a little bit smaller so I can see more games at once and I can jump around the list a lot more easily so the first part of this video is going to be the 10 easiest games in Game Pass ranked from easiest to 10th easiest and maybe no surprise to many the easiest game in Game Pass in my opinion currently is my friend Peppa Pig which is a game made and designed for children to play and can easily beat beaten in about 1 hour there are a couple of achievements here and there you might want to pay attention to and there are a couple of instances where there is RNG so that your instance of my Peppa Pig is slightly different from someone else's but overall it doesn't get much easier than this I think a lot of people just kind of let their uh kids play this game and they end up with 1,000 gamer score now the second recommendation here is a game that kind of flew under the radar but I think it's kind of cool and very unique and it's in the v's but that is for venba this is a game that came out only a couple of months ago and it is kind of a little bit of a cooking miname story intensive game where you're mostly kind of viewing someone's life through their parents and their parents cooking for them as they were growing up you're learning recipes of their culture and assuming you can get through the game and do all of the recipes correctly you'll easily be able to grab a th gamer score in about an hour but you may have to replay some chapters if you do make a mistake and don't want to follow a guide another 1 hour pretty easy completion I can recommend although it does involve using a guide is in the F category and that is the Frog detective complete Trilogy playing this game normally may take you closer to 3 hours but there are some cheat codes that allow you to kind of skip certain scenes and only play the parts of the game that are going to result in achievements I do have a video for this game on my channel so if you want to complete frog detective you'll do it in about an hour next up we're going to go into the D's and there are a lot of different Doom games now that we have the entire Bethesda category but out of all of them Doom 64 is going to really be the only one that's super easy being uh possible to complete using some in-game cheat codes in under an hour but this does involve a little bit of skill and kind of knowing what you're doing in order to get through the levels defeat the bosses even with all the cheats it's not like the easiest game you'll ever beat the fifth easiest game in Game Pass in my opinion is in the M's and that is mikette mikette is a game that was ported over from the PlayStation but we finally got it on Game Pass I believe it's an anap Perna game but if you do follow a guide and you have to follow a guide and you complete all of the speedruns which do involve a little bit of skill you can get this game done in about an hour but I think most people are probably taking two and hours to complete this assuming they don't get stuck too much but you can get a decent amount of the gamer score just by playing through the game and beating it if you do get stuck on a speedrun you may want to just come back take a break and uh try again next up we're going to go into the hes and in the hes we have hello neighbor 2 which is a game that involves a lot of glitches uh it can be done in about 40 to 45 minutes so you would assume it would be higher up on my list somewhere near the easiest games possible but because it involves glitches the controls are really bad the game doesn't get updated a lot so it can even crash on some people uh you can lose items that will force you to have to restart the entire game I think a lot of people get really frustrated with hello neighbor 2 even though it can be done exceptionally quickly I think it's not a game that most people enjoy completing necessarily but going from a game that people don't enjoy completing to aame game people do enjoy completing we have a game called Escape Academy which you can play normally enjoy with yourself or in a co-op party and this is an escape room type game but like many puzzle games following a guide will allow you to know all of the solutions and complete it way more quickly in about an hour and 15 minutes however with this one you will need a second controller or a person online that you can boost a couple of multiplayer achievements with they only take about 10 minutes but there is a little bit of that added step of resistance making the completion just a little bit tougher for the eighth easiest completion I'm going to go to you and the only game here is unpacking unpacking is a super chill downto Earth quiet style of game where you're just going through boxes unpacking them quite literally and putting them on shelves and you're basically progressing through time from like the '90s all the way to Modern 2000 20s and you're unpacking someone and kind of joining them on the Journey of their life as they grow up with that being said there are some accessibility options that allow you to make the game a lot easier and using those and using a guide to make sure you don't miss certain missable achievements you can do this game in right about an hour and a half we're then going to move on to G and we're going to go for Gang Beasts uh Gang Beasts will involve using two controllers so you will need that or you'll have to have a friend join you in multiplayer up to you but you can get it done in an hour or two uh for some people it's even less if you're very skilled at the game or you're already have some experience in this game genre but with that being said there's a few achievements that a lot of people find difficult or a little bit tricky and because of that reason some people do get stuck on this game a little bit longer than others now to wrap up the top 10 I'm going to actually recommend two more games but they both come with a little bit of an asteris so the first one is going to be Arc survival the asterisk here is that if you do want this to be an easier completion right around an hour to an hour and a half you will probably need a keyboard and you'll probably need to not be a completionist the reason I say that is because this game is quite glitchy and a lot of people end up going for the 1,000 or the 1,500 gamer score and sometimes achievements just don't pop and there's kind of not a lot you can do to force them to pop pop so although Arc is easy and is quick it does come with a little bit of risk in terms of the fact that you may not get everything to unlock properly when you play it but if you want some easy gamer score uh it doesn't get much easier than Arc but there's a lot of typing involved so you might want a keyboard or something like that and then last but not least another asterisk is grounded and grounded can be completed in a matter of minutes actually but the big as tricks with grounded is that you will require someone from the Internet or trueachievements.com forums or a friend it requires someone with a save to make a copy of that save and basically send it to you and then if you hop on their save you can very quickly and very easily unlock over 2,000 gamer score but the asteris is you got to find someone that likes you enough to want to send you that save so grounded very easy if you have access ACC to the save so those are kind of going to be the top 10 easiest games um and then the next category all of the rest of the games that I'm about to talk about are between 2 and 4 hours some of them very very very easy some of them a little bit harder but let's go through them one by one I'll kind of do them a little bit more quickly than my top 10 but it's going to take us a little bit of a while to get through here there's definitely going to be games I recommend that you may not even know are easy or you may not even know are in Game Pass the first one being besiege console Edition which you can actually do with a guide online on trueachievements.com they have a walkthrough I would recommend you can do this game in three to 4 hours and it's actually although it has really bad controls it's not going to like completely break the bank on like how hard it is or how much it tests your skill this is more going to test your patience and we're going to be doing these alphabetically again everything's going to be uh between two and four hours for the next little bit of the video moving on to the se's we have cocoon which is actually one of the best games in Game Pass hands down period end of discussion it's an incredible puzzle game and I highly recommend you enjoy it with that being said as a puzzle game you can follow a guide I have one available on my channel and you can beat this game in two and a half hours and grab all of the achievements or if you would rather enjoy the game on your own solve the puzzles if you get stuck you might look up a guide it could take you closer to 5 hours and then there might be some mop up for some of the Collectibles so you may be looking at closer to 6 6 hours so for cocoon it really depends how you want to play it and another game that does that is Conan Exiles and Conan Exiles does have console commands that do still mostly work and they can get you a lot of gamer score however there is a lot of DLC and that DLC you have to buy if you do want to be able to grab the full full gamer score available so if you're looking for a very easy like 900 gamer score you can try Conan Exiles you'll need an online friend to do some co-op with you for the thousand and then if you want to spend the extra money on the DLC you might be able to grab even more but you can technically do it in like an hour or two if you are uh you know uh kind of Lucky and good at that next to Conan Exiles we actually have contrast a lot of good choices in the C category here contrast can theoretically be done in like an hour or two if you follow very specific like glitches but I would probably just recommend you enjoy this game normally and you can easily get get it done in 3 to 4 hours it's by the dev who made we happy few it's not the greatest game ever I played it a very long time ago but you can get contrast done in about that 4H hour mark So for some people that's going to be like one night or a weekend moving down to the D's a couple options here are day of the tentacle remastered this is a pointand click game from I believe the 1980s and you can get it done in three to four hours but you're probably going to want to follow either a text guide or a video guide we also in the D's have D which can be done in two to three hours following a guide there are a lot of missable Collectibles this was actually a game I wouldn't have recommended in the past but in updates they added the ability to chapter select and with the ability to chapter select they added an ability to see your collectible progress so because of all those updates it went down from like a 5 to six hour game to a pretty comfortable 3 to four hour game so d it's a very cool artistic story about a little girl who goes and visits her grandma in the uh in France and uh kind of she's reflecting on her life through these memories and it's it's a pretty cute game we're going to skip e and go straight to F and in F we have two games I can recommend one of them being firewatch which is a little bit of that classic walking simulator that used to be a very popular uh genre and firat is probably one of the best walking simulators of all time not the best but one of the best and you can get firewatch done in like 2 to three hours maybe a little over 3 hours for some people if you do have to go back and mop up in certain areas there are a couple of missable achievements that require you to like interact with certain items firewatch is a great game so if you just want to sit down for like three hours and enjoy a game firewatch can be that game for you and you can end up with most of the gamer score out of it without even thinking about it too much in the fs we also have full throttle remastered another point and click game from I believe the 1980s if you follow a rigorous guide like the one I have on my channel you can theoretically get it done in an hour and a half but I think most people are taking it a little uh longer and they're in that closer to like 2 and 1 half three hour range there's a little bit of RNG for one of the achievements which means that some people can take 5 minutes to get that achievement and some people might take 20 minutes to get that achievement so because of that little factor of uh you know that question mark um some people may not be interested in Full Throttle remastered but if we go to the next letter which is G we have Genesis Noir Genesis Noir is a 2 to three hour game that involves mostly puzzle solving it's a very abstract very unique game so IID recommend it if you're a little burnt out on like the shooters and the racers and the open World Games Genesis Noir is really unlike anything else you've ever really played two to three hours will get you the ,000 and there's a free DLC update which will get you another like 200 gamer score in another 20 minutes or so so you can actually get a little more than a thousand gamer scor of Genesis Noir from G though we can move on to I I has the game inside which is a fantastic game I hope you've played it by now but if you haven't you have to play this game you can enjoy this game normally on your own get through it in about four or five hours uh but you will have to probably go back and mop up some of the Collectibles or you can follow a full game walk through in 2 and 1 half hours and just get that thousand out of the way it's very unique has some very cool uh and fun to go for achievements and even like a secret ending at the end of the game so that might be a game you're interested in highly recommend if you haven't played it just to play it we do have one game in the Jays that I can recommend and that is juon which is a new game I will be making ausan 100% full game walkthrough expected to be one of the next videos available on the channel in the coming weeks I'm very delayed with making it and I apologize but I promise it's on the way shusan is one of those games where if you follow a guide sure you can complete it in 3 hours or so but you can also just enjoy the game sit back relax play it on your own pace five or six hours you may be done it does have like a 100 Collectibles so you may have to go back and chapter select but as you saw it's one of those games again you can get it done quick you can take a little bit longer um depending on how you want to play it that's going to dictate how long it takes you we're going to skip a couple of letters and go straight for the P now and that is for the game Paw Patrol Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay this is a game I've personally completed and I think I did it in under 3 hours it's not the best game ever but it's actually not the worst game ever either uh it is definitely made for kids and because of that it is quite easy but there are a couple of like little things you might need to pick up you might need to redo a couple of levels twice it's not a great game but if you're uh you know hungry for that gamer score it's going to be a good choice for you next to that is actually Paw Patrol Grand Prix don't play this game for easy gamer score it literally takes like 15 hours in the P's we also have planet of Lana this is a game where you can do it in two to three hours but most people are going to take probably a little bit longer than that and that's because it requires you to play through the entire game without dying there are some ways to make that a lot easier for example if you die you can dashboard load back into the game and the game actually doesn't remember that you died um but as long as you are able to complete it in one playthrough without dying theoretically it only requires you to do one playthrough but if you do die and then the game saves then you're going to have to do the game twice and it might take something like seven hours so this one might involve a little bit more skill or a little bit more of your attention to make sure you're playing it the right way we do have have a couple of Q games here we got quake and Quake 2 Quake one you can do in about 3 hours and Quake 2 you can do in about two hours for both of these games though I believe they're going to be faster especially for Quake 2 they're going to be much faster to do on your PC so if you do have access to PC game pass you have a decent PC you're going to want to save these for the PC but they are definitely doable on the console uh in like that 2 to three hour range Quake 2 is the easier of the two games though and then in the RS we have Raven lock which is a really cute game you can get it done in in under three hours if you uh are decent at these kind of action games it's definitely aimed at a more casual audience so don't expect to need a lot of skill for it but there are some Collectibles you'll need to do some side missions that you might not complete kind of on that first initial playthrough so just make sure you're grabbing as many Collectibles as you can doing the side missions and by the time you reach the end of the the game there might be a little bit of mop mop up but you can definitely do this game like in four to five hours if you want to kind of go as fast as you can you can definitely get it done in even under 3 hours moving on to S we have scorn scorn is a 3 to six hour game depending on whether you use a walkthrough or you don't uh it's very linear game so if you just sit down play it you will eventually beat it and that might take you around five or 6 hours for that thousand gamer score if you do want to follow a video you can get a done a lot faster than that though another game that I would highly recommend actually is a short hike a recent addition to Game Pass even though the game's been out for about two years now I want to say but a short hike was actually one of the biggest kind of Indie surprises I've played in the last long time it's going to take you 3 to four hours at the very minimum but you're going to enjoy those three to four hours it's a really fun game cute story fun little side missions the achievements are pretty fun to go for for I'd highly recommend a short hike in the s's we also have uh a lot of games here there's also Somerville Somerville is similar to the game inside made by actually some of the same people it's kind of a sidescrolling 2.5 dimensional puzzle game that's mostly a platformer and you can get this game done in 2 hours if you're really careful most people are going to take you know 3 to four hours lots of missible Collectibles lots of things to find on your way through the game as well uh in the W's we also have one of The Walking Dead games Walking Dead Michonne easily completable in like that three and 1 half hour range I think there's three episodes each episode's about an hour to an hour and a half and uh you'll easily be able to grab the Thousand there quite quickly now the next category we're going to speed it up even a little bit more quick now uh we're going to go to games that are between the 4 to 6 hour range starting off in the Seas we have the game Costume Quest 2 now this game's going to be on Game Pass pretty much forever so you don't have to worry about it leaving game pass but it's a great game for Halloween so you might want to save it for around Halloween time it's going to be around 6 Plus hours at the very minimum for most people additionally a game I don't know too much about but I do know it is possible in six plus hours and that is figment one so you might want to look into that if you are interested in some gamer score and you've completed a lot of the games we've already talked about then in the hes we have hellblade CA sacrifice you can get it done in 5 hours most people are going to take around six to S hours there are Collectibles you'll need to grab on the way through the game so make sure you grab those uh great game and hellblade 2 is coming out very soon so might be a good time to hop on hellblade if you haven't already we're actually going to go back to the G's we have goat simulator the base 1000 can be done in about 4 hours um but there is a ton a ton a ton a ton of DLC probably 10 hours of DLC which costs a lot of money then we have Grim Fandango which is going to be another Point and- click game from the 80s it's going to be the longest one of the three we've talked about today though clocking in around five hours for most people even with a very well structured guide we also have gree which is the correct pronunciation for this game clocking in around 6 hours you will probably need to grab a some sort of collectible guide on the way through the game to make sure you don't miss anything uh it's very unique art style cool story uh very peaceful style of game uh so I think a lot of people will enjoy it uh it's also a game where I believe you can play most of it and get most of the gamer score Without Really Trying uh but there are some Collectibles there we're then going to move on sorry I'm running out of breath we're going through so many games we have the gunk I loved the gunk it took me like four or five hours I want to say I think most people are taking around that 5 to six maybe seven hours range depending on how much you explore and how you know how long you want to take on every section of the game especially if you get stuck because you do need to kind of 100% it but you don't need a guide that's kind of one one thing I enjoyed about the gunk is you're able to just sit down and you can play and as long as you're playing and as long as you're making some progress in the game you you know you're on your way to that 1,000 gamer score very unique game I don't think it did very well I don't know if a lot of people enjoyed it but I recommend it we're then going to move on to m where we have one game which I'm going to recommend which is the Max the Curse of the Brotherhood this game is like basically an Xbox One launch title almost and uh you can grab the Thousand gamer score in about 8 hours it probably hasn't lasted the test of time very well uh you know considering its age and it was kind of a Indie Style game but you have that option if you're uh starving for that gamer score in the ends we also have Norco which some people can beat in 4 hours but I think a lot of people are taking closer to 6 Seven 8 hours to beat it's a very dialog heavy game uh it's very it's rated extremely highly by those who play it but I think it's in a genre that maybe not a lot of people uh play very often in the P's we have a lot of different games but the one I'm going to recommend piku niku you can get this one done in four to 5 hours after that we can go to R and we have a game called roller Drome a new addition to Game Pass in that 6h hour range in the s's we also have Shadow Warrior 3 which you can definitely do in about 6 hours you will need a collectible guide though for that uh I highly recommend Shadow Warrior we also have S which you can do in about 6 to 8 hours in the t's we have those who remain 6 to8 hours Toom 6 to8 hours and then a very new addition is turnup boy Robs a Bank most people are taking literally almost exactly 5 and 1/2 hours to beat this game also we do have a couple of games that are closer to 10 hours but they are very very very easy so I'm going to quickly Point them out and they're all along the same vein we got tell me why under 10 hours but very straightforward and then you might know where I'm going with the rest of these we have The Walking Dead a new frontier 6 to 7 hours The Walking Dead the first complete season uh which is this one here which is about 9 hours The Walking Dead Season 2 which is about 8 hours and The Walking Dead the Final Season which is about 8 hours but they are like pretty much as easy as games can get you sit back and you just interact with the screen every couple of minutes and the games basically play themselves they're not very skill intensive so that's what makes them a good pick if you'd rather invest time and not skill or gameplay The Walking Dead is a great choice as well couple of quick honorable mentions of games that are really good uh but do take longer than 10 hours I'd highly recommend death's door which is going to take you probably 12 to 15 hours uh I'd highly recommend trying that game at least once it's one of the biggest surprises I've ever played uh also a lot of people really enjoyed Psychonauts 2 which is a pretty straightforward completion and you can get it done in right around 20 to 25 hours but because you can just kind of play it enjoy it there are some things you might miss here and there but you can always go back to mop them up I think it's a good choice for a lot of people just looking for a good quality game and they want to you know play something Quantum break another title where you can grab that thousand gamer score in 15 hours or so just by mostly enjoying the game and then in the te's we also have tunic I love tunic it's going to take you probably 10 15 hours but it is one of the best games You'll Play and it's one of those games where as long as you're playing it enjoying it making progress you should eventually get closer and closer and closer to that 1,000 gamer score and if it hooks you it's uh a really fun game to complete you also have vampire survivors a lot of people are praising this game myself included there's uh a ton of free DLC actually some of it's free some of it's not free so you can get more than a thousand gamer score out of this game uh the thousand's going to take you around 25 hours depending on how you play it and then last but not least you have a lot of Wolfenstein games Wolfenstein 2 The New Colossus one of the hardest games you can ever complete so don't do that one Young Blood one of the grindi games you'll ever complete but if you are looking at the old blood and the New Order two of the older Wolfenstein revival games these ones are from the mid 20010s and I think they're both clocking in around uh 15 hours each now let's move on to the PC side all right so actually the easiest game in all of Game Pass is actually cooking Simulator the thing is only the windows version of this game which is Windows specific is easy you can get over a th000 gamer score in literally minutes but it involves a keyboard and it has to be on the Windows version so if you have a PC that can run this very basic game you can grab some very easy gamer score cooking Simulator for Windows additionally we have Age of Empires Definitive Edition I'm going to save you all of the boring details of the history of this game but there are a bunch of cheats that you can use in the game to make it really really easy and using those cheats you should be able to grab all of the achievements very very quickly I believe there is an online achievement you may need a friend for though next up I'm going to talk a little bit about a game you may have heard of called Limbo and limbo is known as a stack what that means is that you can grab the Thousand gamer score for limbo on the console and you can then do it again a second time and grab a new 1,000 gamer score on the PC so if you've played limbo in the past and you want to play it again playing it on the PC might be a good idea because if you beat the game in 4 hours you can get a lot of gamer score and if you can beat it without dying you can get the 1,000 gamer score in limbo for Windows another game that is a stack is Goat Simulator for Windows 10 you can grab all of the achievements you already grabbed in Goat Simulator in Goat Simulator you can grab them again another stack is those who remain which is the eight an8 hour roughly game there is a window stack on The Game Pass version for Windows and then Walking Dead um the new frontier uh New Frontier this game is also available specifically for Windows and has a separate Windows uh stackable achievement list and then while we're here the last game you can stack is hellblade 1 has a separate Windows achievement list so maybe you want to replay hellblade senu a sacrifice redoing it on Windows will generate you some new gamer score you hadn't gotten before thank you for watching the video I hope it was helpful special thanks everyone on patreon first boting the show and hopefully I see you soon peace
