What's the Password? has a simple concept: To solve each of the game's more than 100 puzzles, you have to type in the right four-digit password on a number pad. That might sound like a limited constraint. But the simplicity gives solo developer Dan DiIorio, better known as TrampolineTales, lots of room to play with &8230;

🎮 Multi-platformThe Video Games You Should Play This Weekend – June 26, 2026
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/26/04511052/starfoxcompare.jpg.webp) Star Fox is back! And by that, of course, I mean the 1997 Nintendo 64 game is literally back. Who knows how long we will be waiting for a proper, new Star Fox, but you know what? The remake, simply titled Star Fox, is pretty dang good(https://gameinformer.com/review/star-fox-2026/mission-complete). Turns out doing a faithful remake of a great game, even an old one, usually works out pretty well. That’s the big game release this week, but there is plenty of other stuff happening across the industry. Check out some stories below before diving into our weekend recommendations. - Grand Theft Auto VI has a price and pre-orders are open(https://gameinformer.com/2026/06/24/grand-theft-auto-vi-price-and-ultimate-edition-revealed-physical-version-will-not) - Bungie is suffering huge layoffs(https://gameinformer.com/2026/06/25/bungie-is-laying-off-most-of-the-destiny-2-development-team) - The Xbox Series X and S consoles are also getting another price increases in August(https://gameinformer.com/2026/06/25/xbox-consoles-are-getting-another-price-increase-in-august) - Olivia Rodrigo is coming to Fortnite(https://gameinformer.com/2026/06/25/olivia-rodrigo-is-coming-to-fortnite-today) - Capcom also shared updates on upcoming games like Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen and Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection(https://gameinformer.com/2026/06/25/everything-announced-at-the-2026-capcom-spotlight) !Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/2026/06/18/fbc653dc/nintendoswitch2starfoxscrn19.jpeg.webp) Star Fox (2026) Kyle Hilliard I proudly proclaimed, "I don't want another remake of Star Fox 64! We have that at home," while pointing at my 3DS that has been dead for years and I don't know where the charger is. But then I got my hands on the 2026 Switch 2 remake of Star Fox 64 from Velan Studios and remembered, "Oh yeah. This game is very important to me. And also this remake is well done." I don't know if this remake, released for the Switch 2 yesterday, will inspire a new generation of Star Fox fans. But for those like me who played the Nintendo 64 game repeatedly, it's a fun, nostalgic revisitation of a great game. The soundtrack is a particular highlight, but seeing every world with a 2026 coat of paint is also wonderful. And importantly, flying the Arwing feels right. Also worth noting, a free demo for the game is available if you want to get a taste. Read Game Informer's Star Fox 2026 Review(https://gameinformer.com/review/star-fox-2026/mission-complete) !Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/2026/06/26/6b0b0a18/screenshot-00001.jpg.webp) The Drifter Kyle Hilliard The Drifter was released on Steam(https://store.steampowered.com/app/1170570/TheDrifter/) in July of last year and is currently boasting "overwhelmingly positive" reviews; this week, it is available on both Switch and Switch 2. The game follows Mick Carter, who must solve a mystery surrounding his own death as his consciousness is repeatedly placed back into his body moments before he drowned in a reservoir by sci-fi soldiers. It's a classic point-and-click adventure game with wonderful pixelated visuals, but it is designed to be played with a controller. It has a unique control system that lets you interact with the environment and characters without mousing around the screen with a thumbstick. I missed the game on Steam, though I thought it looked awesome at the time. Though I have not made it far into the Switch 2 version, I am enjoying its look, the ease of play, and the story. I have been reviewing a lot of twitchy games like Star Fox and others you will see on the site soon, so I am in the mood for something a little slower-paced and thoughtful. Maybe you are, too. !Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/2026/06/01/b3c85a43/switchrhgapril9scrnenscrn5.jpg.webp) Rhythm Heaven Groove Demo Kyle Hilliard I am a big fan of the Rhythm Heaven series and reviewed both Fever(https://gameinformer.com/games/rhythmheavenfever/b/wii/archive/2012/02/29/rhythm-heaven-fever-review-nintendo-s-bizarre-musical-experiment-finds-a-home-on-the-wii.aspx) and Megamix(https://gameinformer.com/games/rhythmheavenmegamix/b/3ds/archive/2016/06/30/rhythm-heaven-megamix-game-informer-3ds-review.aspx). I remember looking up pre-YouTube videos of the Japan-only Rhythm Heaven for Game Boy Advance (Rhythm Tengoku) on the computers at my college library and pantomiming the button presses to remove the onion’s beard(https://bsky.app/profile/kylehilliard.com/post/3mowe7tkozk2b) thinking, “Man. I wish I could actually play this.” Thankfully, you don't have to suffer like I did because there is a free demo featuring the first collection of rhythm minigames available to download on Switch, and I highly suggest you do. It's a game that is hard to appreciate in trailer form, as it is all about the feeling of "playing" music. And it's weird as hell. !Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/2026/06/26/03711d0d/ss2f732fb70fcb88b67d898a5f1815d4483def6695.1920x1080.jpg.webp) Dark Scrolls Marcus Stewart The latest joint by Doinksoft, makers of fun, quirky titles like the Metroid 2-inspired Gato Roboto and action platformer Gunbrella, is back at it with this unexpectedly engrossing auto-scrolling action game. As one of three starting characters, you’ll blast through barrages of incoming enemies either as a wizard lobbing magic orbs, an axe-tossing barbarian, or a dagger-throwing rogue. Being forced to constantly move forward due to the auto-scrolling stages while dodging tricky enemy patterns makes survival challenging, especially since the run-based structure means starting from scratch after each failure. However, unlocking various upgrades, such as imbuing weapons with elemental damage, faster attacks, or even shooting fire from your feet, helps extend runs. I wasn’t hot on Dark Scrolls during my first run; auto-scrollers don’t usually do it for me as a platforming fan. But after the third attempt, the hooks started to dig in. The itch to reach a castle at the end of the game, a path that splits along the way by fulfilling certain conditions, is real. I felt genuine excitement when I lasted longer than a previous run, and avoiding attacks while blowing away foes is satisfying. Thanks to its format, I’ve enjoyed fitting in a run or two of Dark Scrolls between bigger games and look forward to conquering my current roadblock: the second-level boss. !Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/2026/06/26/c2199a1e/jungo.jpg.webp) Tabletop Pick – Jungo Matt Miller For a fast-playing card game that can be slotted in after dinner, or between rounds of a more involved and bigger game, Happy Camper Games Jungo has become one of my go-to options. It's a hand-building game where you're trying to get rid of all your cards. The twist is that you can't rearrange the cards in your hand once they've entered it, creating novel challenges for how to get closer to victory. Additionally, you can only play cards that all have the same numerical value, and if the cards played depict a higher number or it's a larger number of cards than what is currently played onto the table. It's simple to grasp once you start in, and even inexperienced or younger players can grasp the concept, but more experienced players will love the unique structure and flow of play. !Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/2026/06/26/438966c0/LOST%20PARADISEComparison%2002%20-%20NEW.jpg.webp) Dead Or Alive 6 Last Round Brian Shea When it originally launched in 2019, Dead or Alive 6 didn't exact rise to the top of our franchise ranking. While our 6.75 out of 10 review(https://gameinformer.com/review/dead-or-alive-6/a-low-blow) for the base version of the game was critical of the online suite and absolutely eviscerated the story, the core fighting mechanics remained strong, just as they have for much of the series. Dead or Alive 6 Last Round doesn't reinvent the story, but it does make this the best place to experience the sixth mainline entry of the long-running franchise, and the mission-driven DOA Quest mode is still as fun today as it was back then. Optimized for current-generation hardware, Dead or Alive 6 Last Round includes 29 characters, including 5 DLC fighters. On top of that, a free-to-play "Core Fighters" edition allows players to sample the package with limited offerings. If you've ever been curious about the Dead or Alive series or are just looking for a good excuse to jump back into the fight with Kasumi, Ryu Hayabusa, Ayane, and the rest of the roster, DOA6 Last Round seems like a decent starting point.

🖥 PC, Multi-platformSteam Machine Preorders Are About To Begin, So Of Course They’re Already On eBay
The Steam Machine isn't even out yet, though Valve has begun sending out confusing emails(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/steam-machine-preorder-emails-are-super-confusing/) about whether people are in the "queue" or on the "waitlist" for the device. That hasn't stopped netizens from doing the inevitable, though: listing their reservations on eBay to make a quick buck. If you head over to eBay—or GameBay (?), since GameStop really wants to buy the online marketplace(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gamestop-ceo-came-up-with-plan-to-buy-ebay-on-the-toilet-wants-it-to-become-re-seller-of-digital-gaming-items/)—and search for the Steam Machine(https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?nkw=steam+machine&sacat=0&from=R40&trksid=m570.l1313), you'll see a handful of postings for Valve's upcoming living room PC. The system is already expensive, running between $1050 and $1430 depending on the model, but these listings go for about double the regular price. The Steam Machine listings GameSpot has viewed so far are all for "confirmed reservations." This means that the eBay seller received one of those perplexing emails from Valve securing their spot in the "queue"—not the "waitlist," which is an important distinction we just broke down(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/steam-machine-preorder-emails-are-super-confusing/). Some of the sellers even state that they'll ship the not-a-console console(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/steam-machine-is-not-a-console-valve-says/) to you as soon as it ships to them, which could be sometime in early July. It's at a markup, though, with the cheapest going for $1363.70 (now sold)(https://www.ebay.com/itm/318508294241?skw=steam+machine&itmmeta=01KW2K4W912F7QJ78RPDXB85PR&hash=item4a2892e061:g:H4EAAeSwBdhqPsEg&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA0GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xD7%2FEytnfIbeR9vg%2BXgwHtvvuxAYErZ2t1tB%2FWOzBMESKQ0g6mGFWuoqxFU7MPbjphLA5X3CgO55%2FZ%2FcbEwJicyzhFecnIidjBnkBr0t9qq7e3u806Dj2A3GHPoANAhEQEGcCy8%2FrjrKeM3F1GwFPmQ553AFmiIDM7WiCWeZTnqf6z2jYabejTrSdLJhhxjceV8RiQBcyhlDjfVwckUJ14PRVqIG8Dums67oixvIxMOLHwbppHlymQcl7lCT2Rncso%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SRDEk9PgZw) and the most expensive running your wallet a cool $3200(https://www.ebay.com/itm/307026925253?skw=steam+machine&itmmeta=01KW2K4W91ANEZ1JC61NEPMTJ5&hash=item477c3b16c5:g:P34AAeSw2RNqPsAM&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA0GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xADhmM8sjsGnpot16x8nhG46GvfKoc0zb8%2Buy9HjVJuTbhj8PSWpX%2F7pXoLaZp22pakxiFZaJTEyzIPgST1o5S%2B3uEOsmljvKFtJo07ahTsQjpZJmBXgfl%2FItnxLoAXVY3ei%2BwEPJRfOE5C21nuM6ljPkYQWlGnr3Umzn4cYR0HJaX3YQWtalVP%2Fy5xQGoMdSEm2%2BjuakPGCxvjdp7c6i%2F5gOoBgRBIBVyLVHKpofzMeT5VhCpff5YOUDnu1mp1ORY%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SRDEk9PgZw). This isn't all that surprising to see, since this tends to happen with most in-demand or sold-out hardware from the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X to the Nintendo Switch 2 and the Steam Deck. Still, it is kind of curious, particularly since one listing called the Steam Machine "a piece of gaming history." There's no doubt that Valve's upcoming device is fascinating, with early impressions(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/steam-machine-impressions-a-tiny-box-with-big-trade-offs/) calling it a tiny but mighty piece of gaming hardware. Maybe the hyperbole will help the seller sell their reservation, which is listed for $2600(https://www.ebay.com/itm/287420797005?skw=steam+machine&itmmeta=01KW2K4W906902A11XWP73PZF7&hash=item42eb9d504d:g:2HcAAeSwQZpqPr9a&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA8GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xCet99ATz9bQXnrvpE%2Bj2uin%2BYkFjAcXbzKR0paEmiF4LQkFzIb%2Fnh%2BffV6j5td146wgAKYIvWrVsxcpHqLNERDrSv7oCZFwPmDnwN7W0vBY2wzdGMZEMldskobCl%2BD5ndbdYnkjDQKeJciFOtbeNSnnZ3hggBa59nHEiCTRtZSn0%2BDNQ4W80ubMdyySQwcgSA5gRzbZ8Nb%2BsR9MKFIgfs0h2YQ%2BFUx0hO%2FBrJiMPqLHSwFaHWctxJggPaMJBeLlnZNVuBrnuGiR045XvtFdRva0nTP%2Fa5Q%2BnKuJUY%2BsRVV9Q%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR-7Ek9PgZw).
