Motorslice Review - Chainsaw Symphony

Motorslice puts you in a massive industrial megastructure as P, and her floating camera companion Orbie, and the achievement list reflects that strange, specific energy. There are 24 achievements on Xbox (25 trophies on PS5, with Rank P as the Platinum), split across story progress, combat challenges, collectibles, and Easter eggs. The full list sits at a 5/10 difficulty rating with an estimated 10 to 14 hours to complete. Nothing is permanently missable, because chapter and checkpoint select are available from the start.

What do you need to know before starting?

Before grinding anything specific, the structure of the achievement list rewards natural play more than most games. The 10 story achievements unlock automatically as you finish each chapter, from Arrival through Ascend. You can knock out most combat and Easter egg achievements during a single playthrough, then mop up anything missed through chapter select. No difficulty-locked achievements exist, and no known glitched or unobtainable achievements were present at launch.

Story achievements: the unmissable 10

These unlock by completing each chapter in order. All 10 are tied to story progression and cannot be missed during a normal run.

The point values jump noticeably from Chapter 04 onward, which tracks with the game's pacing. Later chapters are longer and more demanding.

How do you unlock the combat achievements?

Six achievements are tied to combat, and these are where most players hit their first snag. The mechanics are straightforward once you understand them, but two of the six require specific setups.

Chainsaw Girl charged release

Chainsaw Girl charged release

Chainsaw Girl is the easiest of the group. Hold the attack button on any drone enemy until the attack is fully charged, then release. The enemy gets destroyed. Any drone works, so do this early.

Recycle requires throwing a physical object at an enemy. The Chapter 03 sand pit room is the recommended spot, because loose objects are easy to find and enemies are nearby. Pick up the object, aim, throw.

We are here for you! uses the orb mechanic. When an orb is following you, position yourself so the orb sits between you and an enemy, then attack. The orb launches forward and stuns the enemy.  This also briefly stuns the orb itself.

Parry That! asks you to parry any boss attack. The timing requires attacking with P's chainsaw at the same moment an attack lands, causing a clash. Gamer Social Club recommends the Chapter 01 boss, the Dump Truck, using Checkpoint 6 to start just before the fight. Run up, let the vehicle drive at you, and attack just before contact. The Helicopter saws in Chapter 02 and the Bucket Wheel Excavator's paw swing in Chapter 07 are also confirmed as valid opportunities.

Trap works the same way as Parry That but against environmental traps instead of bosses. Swinging traps from Chapter 02 onward are the easiest targets. Attack just before the trap makes contact.

Crowd Control is the trickiest combat achievement. You need to kill two enemies simultaneously after deflecting a saw. The setup: stand in front of two long-range tentacle motor enemies, charge an attack, and parry one of their sawblades so the deflection hits both. These enemies appear from Chapter 02 onward. Motorslice.org notes this needs a specific two-enemy arrangement, so position yourself carefully before committing to the parry.

How do you collect the orb achievements?

Cargo Train needs 5 orbs collected in one continuous string without dropping any. The first drone area in the game has 5 orbs sitting close together, making it the cleanest opportunity. Collect them in sequence without breaking the chain.

Orb Drone requires collecting 30 orbs total across the entire game. Most players earn this passively without any deliberate farming.

What are the Easter egg achievements and how do you get them?

Five of the six miscellaneous achievements are Easter eggs tied to interacting with P in unusual ways. They require no combat skill, just knowing where to click.

P-oke is done on the main menu. On PC, repeatedly click P's face until she rage-quits the game. On console, press LT/L2 or RT/R2 to interact with her gear repeatedly until she kicks you out. Neoseeker confirms the PS5 version resets the game rather than closing it entirely.

Tsundere requires zooming the camera onto P's face during gameplay by holding right-click (or the equivalent camera zoom input). She blushes automatically. Easier to do during a Slack Off scene where P is stationary.

Selfie is the most straightforward Easter egg. Press 1 on PC to open photo mode, then take a photo. A prompt to do this appears at the end of Chapter 00.

Point that thing in another direction! needs the flashlight. Turn it on with F on PC (or RB/R1 on console), face P, and hold it on her face until she reacts.

Slack off catches most players off guard because the window is easy to miss. During a Slack Off scene, where short story moments play out and you get a dialogue choice, move the cursor over P and press the interact button. Motorslice.org flags this as one of the five most-missed achievements in the game.

How do you unlock Orbie Hater?

Orbie Hater is the strangest achievement in the list, and also one of the most counter-intuitive. Orbie is the camera that follows P throughout the game, and this achievement requires destroying it.

You need to hit Orbie with the chainsaw three times. The trick is getting P to face the camera directly. Lower the camera close to floor level, then attack until the chainsaw connects with Orbie's screen. Cracks appear after each successful hit. Three hits destroys Orbie and sends you back to the previous checkpoint. Motorslice.org notes the camera angle is the core challenge here, since the default camera position makes it hard to aim at Orbie.

Fastest route to 100%

Based on the recommended order from motorslice.org, here is the most efficient path through the achievement list:

  1. Play Chapter 00 and Chapter 01 normally. Pick up Selfie, Parry That!, Chainsaw Girl, and Cargo Train here.
  2. On the main menu before Chapter 02, do P-oke.
  3. During Chapter 02, hold the camera zoom on P for Tsundere, and shine the flashlight on her for Point that thing in another direction!
  4. In Chapter 03's sand pit, do Recycle and set up Crowd Control.
  5. Chapters 04 through 08: play normally, collect orbs for Orb Drone and We are here for you!, interact during a Slack Off scene for Slack off, and destroy Orbie for Orbie Hater.
  6. Use chapter select to clean up anything missed.

The story achievements fill in automatically throughout. At 10 to 14 hours total per Gamer Social Club's estimate, a clean run targeting everything in order sits toward the lower end of that range.
