Introduction:
Also known as Out Of This World, Another World is a pioneer action/platformer that released across more than a dozen platforms since its debut in 1991. Along the years, it has attained cult status among critics and sophisticated gamers alike. An immersive adventure with unique storytelling, the game chronicles the story of Lester Knight Chaykin, a young scientist hurtled through space and time by a nuclear experiment that goes wrong. The game has been remastered with slightly higher definition graphics and sound. However, the controls can be frustrating at times to say the least. Currently the game is listed at $7.99 in the Xbox One Store.

Step 1: Complete the Game:
Play through the entire game. Easy difficulty is not required, but recommended. It is advised that you follow a text walkthrough or video guide. The game is short, but some of the puzzles are a tad involved and confusing at first. Most of the achievements are story-related or will unlock naturally, but the "Secret UFO," "Explorer," and "Free fall" achievements are missable (though they can easily be obtained in level select after completing game).

VIDEO GUIDES:
There are plenty of adequate video guides on Youtube that will make your trek through this game very short and painless. Linked below are a few good choices.

- Playthrough with commentary - 25 minutes long total (thanks to Youtube user stonetheforbidden).
PART 1 / PART 2 / PART 3 / PART 4
- Speed run with no commentary - 13 minutes long total (thanks to YouTube user Speed Walkthroughs).

Step 2: Mop-Up:
After completing the game, mop-up any of the achievements you missed via level select.

Conclusion:
Another World is a great remake that will easily cough up all 1000 Gamerscore in less than two hours if following a guide.

Survivor

50
From bad to worse.
*Story-related and can't be missed.* This will be your first achievement at the very beginning of the game. It unlocks after escaping from the shadowy dog.
First shield

25
Protect from lasers!
*Story-related and can't be missed.* After escaping from the cage and picking up the gun for the first time, hold down until a SMALL blue ball forms at the tip. Release and a shield will form, unlocking this achievement. While not technically story-related, it would be hard to complete the game without using the shield. The image below shows the scene where you get the gun.
Mega shoot

50
Destroy any obstacle!
*Story-related and can't be missed.* After escaping from the cage and picking up the gun for the first time, hold down until a LARGE blue ball forms at the tip. Release and you will launch a powerful blue blast, unlocking this achievement. While not technically story-related, it would be hard to complete the game without using this. The image below shows the scene where you get the gun.
Warrior

50
Armed to the teeth!
*Story-related and can't be missed.* After rolling through a pipe system where you had to dodge steam, you will emerge and see a blue refill station to the left for your gun. Head in to replenish the power of your gun and unlock this achievement. The image below shows the scene with the recharge station.
Escape water

75
Quite a sprinter!
*Story-related and can't be missed.* Shortly after the last achievement, you will need to head down into some caves to release some water. Once you get to the barrier with the water, destroy it then immediately run to the left, jumping over the gaps until the end. The water will propel you upwards to safety, unlocking this achievement. The image below shows where you will be when the achievement pops.
Cowboy

75
Clint would be proud!
*Story-related and can't be missed.* This will unlock later in City 2 in the scene pictured below. A guard will grab you and you will drop your gun. Mash and you will kick the guard in the nuts. This will unlock the achievement. However, to survive, when you fall, run to the left and push down to grab your gun. Immediately turn around to shoot the guard.
Determination

100
I will succeed!
This achievement requires that you die a cumulative total of 100 times. More than likely you will get this before completing the game. However, if you don't, load up any save and keep dying!
Gladiator

150
The glory was short.
*Story-related and can't be missed.* Near the end of the game, you will enter a tank-like vehicle and emerge into a gladiator arena. In the top left corner, move the left stick (or D-pad) around jamming buttons on the dash of the tank (select them using ). Eventually, a white button will flash which you must hit to eject from the tank before it explodes, unlocking this achievement. This corresponds to the scene below.
Last battle

200
Invincible!
*Story-related and can't be missed.* This achievement is awarded for REACHING the final scene. After ejecting from the tank at the end of the game, immediately run to the right. In the next scene, use the shield and gun to take out all five enemies that come towards you. As soon as the last one is dead, the achievement will pop. Continue on for just another minute or two to complete the game.

Secret UFO

100
Espace it!
(2)
This achievement is missable and unlocks near the beginning of the game. Once you escape the cage and grab your gun, stand there, not advancing to the next scene for about 30 seconds. A UFO will spawn and come on screen, popping this achievement. If you missed it, load up the first Jail checkpoint.
Explorer

50
Vertigo from beyond the grave.
(3)
This achievement is missable and is obtainable a few scenes after grabbing the gun. You will run through a jail-like area, killing a few enemies, and eventually come to a lift. Walk on the lift and push up and take the lift to the top. Once there, walk to the right to the window to trigger a short cut scene and pop this achievement (see image). If you missed it, load up the third Jail checkpoint.
Free fall

75
Splashhhhh!
(2)
This achievement is missable and is obtainable near the end of the game. Once you are reunited with your partner, progress to a large gap where your partner will throw you across (see image below). Either before of after he tosses you, purposely fall into the gap. You will plummet several scenes to your death, popping this achievement. If you missed it, load up the second Palace checkpoint.
