Paranautical Activity is a really, really challenging game to play especially for casual gamers. The visuals and the theme might not appeal to most of the gamers out there but the action it gives out might get some hooked up. The repetitiveness of the levels and the repetitiveness brought by dying and trying might get tiresome real quick and another downside is that there really isn’t much that the game can award the player besides unlocking an even harder level of difficulty plus some small plaques of achievement. Still, we recommend Paranautical Activity if you are into frustratingly hard but nice games. Check out a detailed description of the game here.

The game has 12 trophies including one Gold and four Silver. Most will be unlocked through you completing special events within the game, like not attacking anyone in the room or getting all weapons. With the game’s difficulty, this will be a hard game to 100%. FINAL THOUGHTS: Paranautical Activity is a good game that could have been even better.

What started as a mostly unpleasant experience, turned into one of the most fiendishly fun yet difficult games I've played in a very long time. When I got over my bad case of Gamers Ego, I learned to roll with the punches the game dealt me and tried harder. I discovered little exploits I could use to take down some harder monsters a bit easier. I learned how to use weapons properly and which items stack with each other to make powerful builds. Pros: - Lots of items to unlock adds huge replayability - It's difficulty is a great challenge Cons: - Steep difficulty curve makes the game hard to get into to begin with - Button mapping is unorthodox in some respects Paranautical Activity could be overlooked for not being as polished-looking as other titles on the Xbox Store, but it would be a shame to miss out on it.
