New HD Texture Pack for Skyrim adds 8K/4K textures to all fortresses
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/new-hd-texture-pack-for-skyrim-adds-8k-4k-textures-to-all-fortresses/
Modder ‘GaiusFatCat’ has released a brand new HD Texture Pack for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. According to the modder, this pack retextures all of the game’s fortresses, using high-quality 8K and 4K textures.
Going into slightly more details, every single texture is handcrafted from super high-quality source images the modder took. In other words, this isn’t another ESRGAN/AI HD Texture Pack.
Most of the main files are at 8192×8192 resolution. Not only that, but even the 4K textures are downscaled from 8K.
>> The mod is 770MB in size, is only available for the Legacy Edition and can be found at Nexus Mods.

Doom Fighters lets you bareknuckle brawl your way out of hell
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/doom-fighters-lets-you-bareknuckle-brawl-your-way-out-of-hell/
Shotguns? Boring. Rocket launchers? Who needs 'em. The only thing the Doom guy has ever needed to defeat the legions of hell are two bare fists—and maybe a cheeky kick or two, if Doom II mod Doom Fighters is anything to go by.
Released on ModDB over the weekend, Doom Fighters reimagines the classic FPS as a retro 3D brawler. Plugging into any Doom II campaign you fancy, Fighters strips the slayer of his arsenal and pulls the camera back for some over-the-shoulder punch-ups, giving the Doomguy a chunky 3D makeover in the process.

Teardown mod turns the physics sandbox into a terrifying survival horror gauntlet
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/teardown-mod-turns-the-physics-sandbox-into-terrifying-survival-horror-gauntlet/
A sickly teal beam pierces the night sky, searching. You sprint down a narrow rain-soaked alleyway, but not quickly enough to avert its gaze. The beam turns red with a deafening electrical growl. And then, with a scream, it strikes.
Teardown's smashing great heists might not seem an obvious choice for seasonal October spooks. But thanks to one particularly horrifying mod, the voxel sandbox has created some of the most thrilling scares I've experienced in recent memory.
Meet Basilisco.
