Top 7 Modern Games You Can Cheat In

Top 7 Modern Games You Can Cheat In

There are times when it seems like our best days are behind us. I’m referring to cheat codes, of course. More often than not, it seems like people resort to mods, trainers, and exploits to make the impossible possible in modern games. But there are some titles that keep the spirit of early gaming alive and allows us to draw upon codes to do some extraordinary things. Let’s look a few of them!

Medievil

Medievil accepts cheat codes! Not the original one, though it did. I’m talking about the PlayStation 4 version released in 2019. The downside is, entering one of the cheats doesn’t actually let you do anything in the game. But something special will happen. If you put in triangle, circle, circle, triangle, square, circle, left, circle, up, and finally down, you’ll get the “Old-School Sneaky” Trophy. People remember!

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy

Remember all the old Crash Bandicoot games? How they all had passwords for things like levels? Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy preserves them, in a way. If you have the game and go to the Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped main menu page, you can press up, up, down, down, left, right left, right, and finally square to get a Spyro Reignited Trilogy trailer. It’s not the same as the level select cheats, but it is the same code used to unlock the Spyro the Dragon demo in the original Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped.

Puyo Puyo Tetris

Know what’s neat? When puzzle games have a cheat code to unlock things you would otherwise have to earn. Puyo Puyo Tetris is that sort of game. Instead of earning things like characters or additional skins and voices for them, you can enter a cheat code to unlock them. On the Switch, you can do this by holding the R1 and L1 shoulder buttons, then press up, down, right, left, X, B, Y, and Y while you do.

Spyro: Reignited Trilogy

Spyro: Reignited Trilogy

While Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy doesn’t keep its cheats intact, Spyro: Reignited Trilogy does! Specifically Spyro: Year of the Dragon codes work in each game. Just pause, then do something like enter up, up, up, up, R1, R1, R1, R1, and circle to give Spyro a big head or R1, R1, R1, R1, left, left, left, left, down, up, and triangle to have him put on some sunglasses. They’re some neat cosmetic changes!

Sonic Mania

Sonic Mania

Sonic Mania has cheat codes! First, you need to unlock Debug Mode by getting 25 rings and passing one of those checkpoint symbols in a level to get into the special stage where you are collecting blue spheres to unlock Debug Mode. Once you head into Debug Mode in a game, you can choose a level select or play Sound Test tracks in certain orders to give him all the Chaos Emeralds, all of his special moves, or things like infinite continues.

Rage 2

Rage 2

Rage 2 handles cheats in a neat way. As you roam around, you can find a character called the Mangoo the Unborn, Wasteland Wizard. Once you find him, you can “buy” the cheats and then use them in the game. So for 1,000 credits, you can unlock Git Gud to knock out every foe in a single hit. For 2,000 each, you could have Danny Dyer or Tim Kitzrow as your commentator. There’s a lot you can get to do, with a little effort.

Red Dead Redemption 2

Red Dead Redemption 2

Red Dead Redemption 2 handles cheats in a way sort of like Rage 2 . Here’s what happens. You can get codes from buying and reading newspapers. When you have a cheat and use it, you suddenly can’t save the game. But, in exchange for sacrificing that, you get things like infinite ammo, access to the whole map without firsthand exploration, or a higher honor rating. Though, some codes can be entered without a newspaper, like “Greed is now a virtue” to get $500 immediately.
