Buckshot Roulette is simple, and simply unsettling. Sat across the table from a mysterious opponent clad in a deeply unnerving toothy mask, you pick up a shotgun loaded with shells. Then, you decide whether to point the gun at your opponent or yourself, and pull the trigger. Some of the shells are live, and others are blanks. Guess correctly, and you get to go again.
Helldivers 2's new Quasar Cannon Stratagem is a hit, and you can tell players truly love it because they're already begging Arrowhead not to nerf it

Helldivers 2 grunts can now call down the Quasar Cannon Stratagem, a heavy laser that's tailor-made for spreading democracy. The cannon is actually so efficient, that some helldivers are already begging developer Arrowhead Studios not to nerf it.
The Quasar Cannon is the co-op shooter's newest heavy weapon that unlocks at Level 18 and costs 7,500 requisition points. After a short charge up, the cannon beams a massive laser with enough force to handily one-shot a shredder tank, a hulk, and even a charger. Oh, it also has unlimited ammo and range, making it a sort of extra-durable laser sniper.
"Such a democratic weapon it makes me cry," one player wrote on the game's subreddit, before claiming it also bests the previous armored-bug-killing favorite. "Best weapon in the game. It's an EAT [Expendable Anti Tank] with infinite ammo… and it looks super cool."
Another Reddit post tried to use some good old reverse psychology against the developers at Arrowhead. "Quasar Cannon is very bad and doesn't need a nerf," the post reads. "Arrowhead, for the love of all that is good do not nerf this weapon… This gun is so bad."
A different, level-headed player dived into the discourse to call the weapon "overhyped" since it apparently complements the existing options, like the EAT, rather than outright replacing them. The player's main complaint stemmed from the cannon's charge-up time, which becomes a major headache when dealing with more than one heavy.
Helldivers probably need all the help they can get right now since new signs point to a major twist coming from Game Master Joel, and I can't imagine that it's more help. At least the helldivers have best-selling author Alan Wake's glowing approval.
With millions of players joining the fray, Helldivers 2 director might finally get his “childhood dream” realized and have the game stand alongside PlayStation’s biggest releases.

Balatro is getting just a little bit easier in the next patch, and you can try it now
The deck-fixing roguelikelike poker of Balatro is chuffing excellent, no doubt, but my main criticism has been that the higher difficulty modes are just a bit boring. Having beat them myself, I didn't find them a fun or interesting challenge as much as an annoying one that required too much to go right. I'm glad to hear that they're being tweaked in an upcoming patch, which you can now test in a public beta on Steam, and even the lowest difficulty setting will be tweaked. Other changes include improved (hopefully) Steam Deck performance, balance tweaks, and better Joker-related Tags.

You Can Currently Buy Seven Fallout Games for Less Than $23 on PC
I seriously wanted the headline to be, "Own every Fallout game for less than $23" -- but that's technically a lie and we don't do clickbait here at IGN, right? In reality, you're missing out on some obscure titles (sorry) like Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel on the PS2, but this is the best we've got and it's still pretty damn good for what you're getting.

I've found the best skill in Dragon's Dogma 2 - an arrow that lets you nearly kill yourself so that you can one-shot a dragon
I, a fool, created my Dragon's Dogma 2 character with the aim of being a wizened wizardly type, focused on the mysterious Trickster build. Since then, however, I've come to the conclusion that I should have been an archer, a decision cemented by the existence of one particular ability - the Martyr's Bolt.

Dead by Daylight, Among Us, and More Deliver April Fools Day Gags You Can Actually Play
It’s the most annoying day of the yeeeeear – yes, in case you haven’t looked at the calendar and are wondering why everyone’s gone crazy, today is April Fools Day. While some gags are fun enough (CDPR’s floppy disc edition of Cyberpunk 2077 is cute) too many are just kind of lame, or worse, promise something kind of cool-sounding, with the punchline being… that it’s not happening. Ho ho!

Cities: Skylines 2 now has mod support, so you can soon annoy drivers with Spaghetti Junction 2.0
Troubled city building game Cities: Skylines 2 is getting a little less troubled, as new patch 1.1.0f1 adds various performance and bug fixes alongside the main event: much requested mod support and tools in the form a nifty editor. We got a first look at the new editor tools last October, which looks to simplify the process by combining what was previously several different separate editors into a single application. It was later available only to some closed beta testers, but is now released for everyone. Emphasis on everyone, actually, since the tool looks refreshingly approachable, even for those with basically no modding experience.

You can — and should — drink Stardew Valley’s mayo
A day before Stardew Valley’s 1.6 update release date, developer Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone posted a line from the update’s patch notes on X (formerly Twitter): “You can now drink mayonnaise.” The Stardew Valley community was shook. It’s just… why? Once the update launched on March 19, the answer became clear: It’s actually a pretty good early game item thanks to Stardew Valley’s new Meadowlands Farm, which lets you start your farm with two chickens.
