Escape from the Pharaoh's Tomb Cover Art

Escape from the Pharaoh’s Tomb (Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5)

Estimated Completion Time: 30 minutes – 1 hour
Publisher: Ratalaika Games
Developers: 9Ratones
Release Date: August 9, 2024
Xbox Store Links: Xbox
Playstation Store Links: PS4/PS5

One achievement list available on Xbox. Stack available on PlayStation with the PS4 & PS5 versions along with cross-buy.

We missed this game last week, so featuring this one now. It’s definitely one for the easy completion list. For the full completion you will need to finish off the first 25 levels of the game. You can pick up 3 items on each level but it’s really only needed for achievements on a couple of levels.

In Escape from the Pharaoh’s Tomb you manipulate mirrors to unlock gates. Once the gate is unlocked you need to rush your way through otherwise it’s game over. The puzzles are pretty simple but I did find that enjoyable. Some levels have enemies but they aren’t too hard to deal with. You’ll use a slingshot to shoot and also need to light your bullet by using the slingshot on a candle before sending it through the mirrors to hit the gate lock. I would definitely recommend this game this week.

Lots of stacks for Cat’s Request. 3 achievement lists available on Xbox between the Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Windows versions. The normal PS4 and PS5 version stacks available on PlayStation.

In Cat’s Request you play as a detective cat named Ash and his virtual assistant. You live in a futuristic city where AI is rampant and a rogue computer virus threatens all sentient programs. Throughout the game you will play as Ash to talk to people and complete tasks. You will also frequently switch to your virtual assistant who can basically break into peoples minds and find clues. The more you uncover the better your chance is at finding the real criminal responsible for the virus. This game is really not very long, but there are a lot of missable achievements/trophies. There are some very good video guides available. Completion will take around 45 minutes to an hour.

Sokolab is the newest sokoban-style puzzle game. AFIL games has been publishing a few of these lately and I like the variety that can be found in each of these games. You will need to figure out the right moves to get the boxes onto their specific positions on the map. Later levels include elevators, explosive potions and block teleportation. Some levels can be quite tricky. You need to finish up to level 25 for the full completion. Text input guides are available if you find yourself stuck or just want to blow through another completion.

Another Sometimes You triple stack on Xbox between the Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Windows versions. Stack on Playstation with the PS4 and PS5 versions.

Turn to Mine is an interesting puzzle game where the story unfolds through dialogue as you start each level. As an apprentice miner, you’ll navigate a grid with your seeker robot to collect crystals, all while dealing with your jerk of a boss, Commander Neek. The game features 30 levels to complete the main campaign, with additional challenges like enemy drones and new puzzle elements as you progress. As you progress there will be enemy drones that need to be destroyed and new puzzle elements thrown your way. You’ll also gain the ability to block off grid squares to help with puzzles. For full achievement or platinum completion, you must also conquer a challenge level beyond finishing the campaign. Most achievements and trophies are earned through regular campaign play.

Just the one achievement list available on Xbox. Stack available between PS4 and PS5 versions along with cross-buy.

Murder is Game Over: Streaming Death is the second game in this series. You can play it as a sequel or feel free to jump in for a fresh adventure. Ace detective Guy and his trusty dog Cleo return to solve another whodunit murder mystery of a social media starlet in a creepy seaside village. The game is pretty simple in nature. The game makes you think you need to make deductions, but in fact you only use the detective to speak with and interrogate suspects and your dog Cleo does most of the dirty work with sniffing out clues. As long as you are searching the maps and exhausting dialogue options you will progress the story.

For the full completion you will need to get the bad ending on hard mode, find 40 doggy bags hidden throughout the maps with Cleo and complete a side quest to find a communion cup. With the help of a guide you can complete this game in around 2 hours.

This is the newest game released in the Hidden Through Time series. The games are pretty easy and chill. Very much like Where’s Waldo you’re goal is to play through the 3 campaigns and find all of the objects on your list. You can click on buildings to remove the outside. You will need to open cupboards and suitcases. If you like hidden object games this will definitely be up your ally. This game adds an added online component for playing some online maps and rating them. Users have already uploaded some very easy maps to earn the achievements/trophies for these ones.
