Premium Subscribers: CheatHappens.com - 10 Free Prize Wheel Spins
CheatHappens is giving premium subscribers 10 free Prize Wheel Spins which is a random chance at all kinds of good stuff from the site. This is available to every premium subscriber of Loot Happens who also has a CheatHappens account.
Key Giveaway for Premium Subscribers: Hatred
Hatred is a shock-first isometric shooter that wears nihilism on its sleeve — deliberate, abrasive, and designed to provoke. You play a nameless antagonist driven to wipe out populated areas, and the gameplay keeps you on edge with ruthless gunplay, explosives, evasive skirmishes and frantic encounters with armed forces. There’s no moral softening here: the game pushes a single, extreme fantasy to its limit, so expect confrontation rather than commentary.
Zefyr: A Thief's Melody: Key Giveaway For Free Subscribers
Zefyr: A Thief’s Melody feels like a warm breeze from another era — part Wind Waker, part lazy summer afternoon. You’re a young thief wandering bright island chains, gliding on a giant turtle, chasing whispers of lost guardians and strange disappearances. There’s combat if you want it, stealth if you don’t, and a lot of quiet joy in between — curing sick animals, collecting trinkets, watching sunsets that actually mean something. It’s not about saving the world; it’s about remembering why you’d want to.
If you would like to be in the running for a key, hit reply and just put 'zefyr'. We will pick a winner and send over the key in 48 hours
Baby Steps: Key Giveaway For Free Subscribers
Baby Steps is about learning to walk — badly. You’re Nate, a lazy guy in a onesie who suddenly finds himself climbing mountains one wobbly step at a time. The controls are clunky on purpose, and that’s the fun: you’ll fall, swear, laugh, then try again. It’s weirdly calming, kind of stupid, and a little beautiful — like finding meaning in a really slow pratfall.

Featured Game Review: Battlefield 6
Sequels can stumble chasing scale, but Battlefield 6 proves that refinement can feel just as explosive as reinvention. DICE hasn’t torn the formula apart — it’s rebuilt it from the ground up, steel beam by steel beam. Infantry skirmishes, tank assaults, and aerial dogfights mesh into a single, volatile ecosystem where destruction isn’t just spectacle, it’s strategy. Every bullet can shift the frontline, every crumbling wall reshapes how you move. It’s still unmistakably Battlefield: chaotic, cinematic, and sometimes cruel, but now the chaos has a sharper rhythm, and the gunfire echoes with purpose.
Layers of Combat
There’s nothing else that feels quite like a full-scale Battlefield combat. On the ground, firefights snap with satisfying precision — rifles crack, casings scatter, and the punchy sound design makes every exchange visceral. Climbing into a tank changes the tempo completely: buildings collapse, debris fills the air, and momentum swings with every blast. Then the sky opens up, and the best pilots turn combat into choreography — jets looping over cities, helicopters strafing rooftops, missiles cutting contrails through the clouds. Each layer feeds the next, stacking tension until the map itself feels alive.
Classes, Loadouts, and the Push for Freedom
The four-class system returns with a cleaner balance between identity and flexibility. Assault runs on adrenaline, Medic thrives under pressure, Engineer holds the line, and Recon keeps the distant hills dangerous. Letting every class wield nearly any weapon sounds chaotic, yet it invites experimentation — the kind that fuels memorable moments and wild comebacks. Progression still asks a bit too much patience before the real toys unlock, but once you’re rolling with full kits and gadgets, the sandbox opens wide and the match becomes a playground of small victories.
Maps that Breathe and Break
Nine launch maps spread across cities, deserts, and mountains, all stunningly destructible. The streets of New Sobek City crumble in real time, Liberation Peak turns a hillside into a sniper’s nightmare, and Operation Firestorm remains the series’ purest chaos — smoke, dust, and shouting blending into something almost beautiful. The real achievement, though, is how destruction affects flow: tanks make new paths, grenades erase cover, and no two matches ever quite feel the same. When a collapsing tower ends a fight or a stray rocket clears a capture point, it’s hard not to stop and watch the physics poetry at work.
Bottom line
Battlefield 6 doesn’t reinvent modern warfare, it perfects it for spectacle. The pacing, the weight of its firefights, and the seamless mix of land, air, and infantry all click into place. A few rough edges remain — grindy unlocks, sniper-friendly zones — but they fade under the sheer energy of the moment-to-moment combat. It’s the rare sequel that remembers what made the series sing and turns it up to eleven: louder, faster, and, when the dust settles, absolutely unforgettable.
