Subnautica 2 Necrolei Cysts may not sound nice, but they’re kind of pretty and are essential in crafting, especially when you need a Rebreather. Breathing underwater doesn’t come naturally to humans, after all – a fact Subnautica 2 makes very clear by throwing up a soft black vignette every time you decide to get a little greedy. When passing out below 100m gets old, you’ll want to craft a Rebreather to negate the health-zapping hazards of deep sea exploration.To build the Rebreather, you’ll need to manufacture Strong Acid, which requires locating Necrolei Cysts and slotting them into the Processor crafting…
Image credit: Rock Paper Shotgun Steam Deck Academy brings together all our guides and explainers on getting the most out of your Steam Deck, no student loans or sweaty dormitories required. Forza Horizon 6 is already Steam Deck Verified, which I’m forced to concede makes much of this article surplus to requirements. Yes alright, big green checkmark, you can convey the meaning of “it works” without publishing an entire performance and settings guide, or indeed needing to spell out the words “it” or “works”. But then we’ve known that since March anyway, so I guess we’re both stating the obvious.…
Party Animals' $75,000 AI video contest is a slap in the face to its creative team, and I'm not surprised it's getting blasted on Steam
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…
The Retro Fighters Hunter is a fierce wireless OG Xbox controller, but I'm torn on whether its too much like Microsoft's modern gamepad
Why you can trust GamesRadar+ Our experts review games, movies and tech over countless hours, so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about our reviews policy. 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 is lightweight enough to perform on just about any PC – though its new ray tracing modes slam on the brakes
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,…
The MSI Raider 16 Max squeezes 300W power into a 16-inch chassis, but it's anything but compact
Why you can trust GamesRadar+ Our experts review games, movies and tech over countless hours, so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about our reviews policy. 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…
Subnautica 2 is just as beautiful and expansive as its predecessors, with no early access cobwebs to be seen
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…
