A big welcome back to all Loot Happens subscribers. Loot Happens is a weekly newsletter that is emailed and posted on LootHappens.com.
It's important to note that for premium subscribers, game offerings and in-game content, every week is different. Sometimes it's in-game codes, Steam keys, and giveaways, but premium members will always get something special every mailing. We also occasionally get mind-blowing early access or premium games that pay for an entire year's subscription.
Each newsletter is generally structured as Premium Loot > Free Sub Giveaways > Game Feature > Game discounts.

Featured Game Review: Mecha Break
Mecha Break is for the kind of player who chases not perfection, but perfect moments—the pixel-perfect shot, the last-second dodge, the 1v1 you barely survive to win the match. It’s a love letter to high-stakes multiplayer gameplay, wrapped in a slick, steel-plated mech aesthetic that rewards fast reflexes and smart positioning. I’ve only spent a couple of hours with it ahead of launch, but even that brief window was enough to show how much this game wants you to create your own stories through rivalries, clutch plays, and the distinct personality of each mech you pilot. Whether you’re soaring through the air in jet mode or grinding out tense ground duels, Mecha Break gives you the tools to make moments that feel earned.
Fights are the most exciting part of the game
No matter the mode, whether it’s deathmatch, payload escort, or a launch key scramble, it’s the fights that carry Mecha Break. Every skirmish feels weighty, thanks in part to a longer-than-usual respawn timer that makes every takedown meaningful. You’re not just fragging for fun—you’re buying your team precious time, tilting momentum, or pulling attention away from the objective long enough for your squad to move in.
The variety of mechs keeps the combat dynamic. In one match, I squared off in a tense, slow-motion brawl—Stego vs. Stego—trading rockets and shoulder-burst salvos like two tanks trying to outlast each other. In another, I was darting between craters on a moon map in a nimble Alysnes, using the terrain for cover, always one dodge roll from death. The design of the maps complements this diversity beautifully. Some offer high ground for snipers and ranged fighters, others force close-quarters chaos in narrow corridors, demanding quick reads and fast reactions. That interplay between mech, map, and moment is where Mecha Break shines.
Bottom line
Mecha Break isn’t trying to reinvent the shooter—it’s trying to perfect the feeling of a match well played. In just a couple of hours, it gave me tense duels, dramatic reversals, and the kind of unscripted rivalries that make multiplayer magic. If the full game can sustain that momentum and keep evolving its mech roster and map design, this could be one of the most memorable PvP experiences of the year.

Every newsletter has a lot to look forward to, and we are in active communication with several developers and studios. More to come next week!
