May 14, 2026, 07:09 PT: Recreate Games has issued a statement apologizing for “upsetting players,” and has offered three options to the community on how best to proceed. Generative AI is more than a touchy subject, and for good reason. It’s creatively bankrupt, and when used most egregiously does grave injustice to talented artists who have poured thousands of hours into honing their craft. Well, Recreate Games, the studio behind Party Animals, has announced it is hosting an AI video contest with a lucrative cash prize, and it’s unsurprisingly gone down like a cup of cold puke. As shared by the…

I’ve got to hand it to the Retro Fighters Hunter, as it makes the difficult choice to pay homage to the OG Xbox S controller over the Duke. That inherently means trading a funky, far larger design that will reel in fans of Microsoft’s first console on novelty alone, but your hands will thank you. I’d go as far as to say that focusing on remaking the smaller sequel rather…
Forza Horizon 6’s bootful of PC-specific tech features was apparently stuffed enough to warrant a big, colourful blog post about them. Ultrawide support? Yes. DLSS 4 and FSR 4? Both. Ray tracing? A resounding hai, those souped-up lighting and reflection effects escaping FH6’s car-ogling mode and adorning its open world for the first time in the series. Actually playing the thing, however – and/or spending enough time in its benchmarking tool – reveals that its PC performance highlights mainly concern the absolute basics. On standard settings this is most definitely a smooth-running game, one that’s capable of scooting along on…
You start with very little in Subnautica 2: a shoddy lifepod and no real idea of where to go next. The idea is to branch out gradually, to make sense of your surroundings, and to find ways to make exploration easier. One of the first things you’ll need to craft is the basic battery, and here’s how. Exploration and discovery are key if you want to last in survival games, with Subnautica 2 being especially hostile: the environment is mostly water, so controlling our surroundings is difficult, and we must instead adapt to this inhospitable place. However, forging ahead is…
Strong Acid is one a few Subnautica 2 resources that isn’t made in your basic fabricator. While the survival game sequel gives you a little more help than its predecessor ever did, there’s also a lot more to Subnautica 2, and you’ll find yourself building a base and new machinery far earlier.One such machine is the Processor, which is required to make strong acid. Mild acid is an early recipe, found in your fabricator, while strong acid is needed to make fiber mesh, an ingredient in the Rebreather blueprint. So once you unlock the Rebreather recipe – or even before…
You’re only as good as your equipment in Subnautica 2; with the environment being so hostile, it takes specialized gear to be able to survive in the ambient conditions, and that’s before you throw in some very aggressive fish. Unlocking new crafting blueprints can give you what you need to forge ahead. Expanding your repertoire of craftable equipment is key in survival games like Subnautica 2, but finding new blueprints works slightly differently here. It isn’t always the case that finding a new type of resource unlocks a particular tree of craftable parts. If you want to build new equipment,…

For a long time the trick to making one of the best gaming laptops was simply to pump more power into it. Then we hit the ceiling. There’s only so many watts a portable rig can take, and only so much backpack space for power adapters.The MSI Raider 16 Max made waves on announcement, promising a massive 300W experience in a 16-inch form factor. In my testing, that full 300W…
The opening of Subnautica 2 gave me a real feeling of dread. In a good way, I think. An alien planet that’s mostly water is one of the most inhospitable places I could think of, and that’s before I consider the possibility that other things out there already call this place home. Also, I couldn’t see the bottom when I peered over the edge of my lifepod. Subnautica 2 is a first-person survival game with a heavy dose of crafting – the human form isn’t enough to venture more than a few meters from my base at the beginning, so…
The studio behind Party Animals has found itself in hot water after announcing an AI-generated video contest that promised $75,000 worth of prizes for participants, a plan that prompted heated backlash on Steam and an apology from the developers.As you might remember, Party Animals is the co-op brawler that came out almost three years ago. What began as a physics-based hoot reheating Human Fall Flat’s nachos has since turned into a more generally pleasant party game that includes a chill fishing minigame, what looks like a kart-racing mode, and other activities to enjoy with friends.Things went sideways for the normally…
Gold, on Earth, is a highly sought-after metal. You likely already know that. Prized for its aesthetic and rarity, it’s been used in jewelry and for making valuable coins for centuries. Gold also has many uses outside of fashion and wealth, however, and that’s what we’re after here. While gold is used in spacesuits as a radiant heat shield, we want it for a slightly different exploratory purpose in this survival game. It’s used for electronic equipment in Subnautica 2 – like advanced wiring kits – and early on, knowing where to find gold can be devilishly difficult, especially if…
