    Don't Worry, This AAA Minesweeper Game Isn't Real

    Writer and programmer Mike Lacher has created a fully playable browser parody called Triple-A Minesweeper, which dresses up regular Minesweeper with pretentious title cards for Unreal Engine, Nvidia, Bink Video, and Wwise. The main character, "Sweeper," repeats lines like "I gotta sweep these mines" while receiving calls from characters including Nora, The Don, and DJ Dan, drawing inspiration from Grand Theft Auto 5, Metal Gear Solid, and Cyberpunk 2077. The game can be completed and triggers a twist ending.

    After Overcooked, Ghost Town Games' Stage Fright Wants Co-op to Bring Players Back Together

    Stage Fright is the next co-op adventure from Overcooked maker Ghost Town Games, published by Hello Games, and co-director Oliver De-Vine says "Overcooked broke you apart and Stage Fright is there to put you back together." Two players guide a pair of kids through a Luigi's Mansion-style adventure of puzzles, threats, and mystery, relying only on verbal communication with no inventory management. The game supports both local and online splitscreen co-op, with the developers aiming to make online play feel as close to sitting on the couch together as possible.

    These Are Easily The Most Unique Fortnite Skins

    Fortnite has few truly unique skins, such as Sinister Glare, whose head-hand snaps its fingers after a kill, and the Five Nights at Freddy's animatronics skins, which show persistent visual damage during a match. Beavis and Butt-head skins chuckle at each other's kills, while the Moncler collaboration changes color with elevation, from black at lower elevations to white at higher ones. Ayida, from a Chapter 3 Season 4 level-up pack, is the only skin styled like a monochromatic manga.

    Marathon Is the Scariest Horror Game of 2026

    A Polygon editor calls Bungie's extraction shooter Marathon the scariest game he has played in a long time, largely because dying means losing all the gear you brought in and looted. Playing solo as Rook turns the experience into straight survival horror, and this week streamer Shroud called the game "a little too sweaty" while Ninja rage quit on launch day.

    Kotaku's Lewis Parker says a wave of browser ports decompiled by Claude Opus 5.5 has appeared in recent weeks, covering Call of Duty: Black Ops, Halo: CE, GTA: Vice City, Skate 3 and The Simpsons: Hit and Run. He played several of them and found some near flawless, with The Simpsons: Hit and Run hitting 240fps and one of four Halo: CE ports running working online servers at low ping. He argues takedown letters won't stop these ports because they are quick and easy to make.

    Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen Review: Great, But At a Cost

    Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is a great expansion that adds the new Norgan region with more loot, beasts, and stories, but its changes dilute what made the base game unique. The author notes that the Eternal Ferrystone and portcrystals across Norgan reduce how often you travel on foot, though you must still reach each one first to activate it. Those changes aim to make the experience more approachable, yet they also shift Dragon's Dogma 2 in a different direction.

ReSkate's developers told PC Gamer they were not trying to replace the live game, and its official channels do not allow mods that freely grant premium cosmetics.

    When is the point of no return in Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave

    Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave has a few points of no return, but only the one at the start of Act 3 is truly irreversible. The game doesn't tell you outright that there's no going back, though it does ask you to be sure before proceeding. The second deadline is inflexible, and there's no going back afterward.

A Mage's Anodyne, any Holy Grimoire, or the Empyrean spell will shatter the shield.
