Fortnite changes a lot from week to week (and, sometimes, day to day), but one thing about it that's remained fairly constant is its matchmaking. But soon that will no longer be the case: Epic announced today that the 10.40 update will bring changes to the game's "core modes" that Epic said will create fairer games for everyone by matching up players of similar skill levels.

'Heavy Metal Heroes' is a limited time mode for Blackout, and in addition to dropping onto the map with a customised loadout of armor and weaponry, the map itself is strewn with ramps, and vehicles like ARAVs, ATVs, motorbikes and tanks all have thrust jumping.

Free puzzler Tetromino Slide jumbles Tetris in a devious way
https://www.pcgamer.com/free-puzzler-tetromino-slide-jumbles-tetris-in-a-devious-way/
Of the eight billion Tetris ports and clones that have been released since the original, few are willing to mess about with the fundamentals—after all, they work remarkably well. You move a chunky shape as it falls, you rotate it so it better fits in with its blocky friends. It's a genius idea. And Stephen Lavelle has just twisted the core of it, in a very fun way.

https://www.pcgamer.com/i-got-sweaty-with-the-colonel-in-the-kfc-dating-sim/
I Love You, Colonel Sanders! A Finger Lickin’ Good Dating Simulator is out today on Steam. It sure is an advert for fast food and aloof men. It is far better than it has any right to be—that's the trap—but I already regret immersing myself in chicken and late stage capitalism.
