Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone, creator of Stardew Valley, one of the most impactful indie games of the last decade and dev behind the upcoming highly anticipated Haunted Chocolatier, knows a thing or two about being creative. And like many other creatives he’s recently been touting the importance of human-made art and listening to your gut instead…

If you’re looking for Creature Enamel in Subnautica 2, it likely means you’ve arrived at the Alien Ruins, having crossed that spooky stretch of ocean between the Tadpole Pens and the Research Base. And yes, if you heard a groaning sound coming from the depths below you but didn’t encounter any trouble, consider yourself lucky….

Naoki Yoshida’s opening keynote at April’s North American Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival made one thing clear: the team is serious about change. Or at least, it appears to be. Especially, for a studio that’s dug its heels in the sand about any sort of drastic change in the past half-decade or so. For upcoming…

The Fabricator is your lifeline in Subnautica 2, allowing you to craft all kinds of helpful equipment and supplies. However, you’ll quickly reach a point where you’re unable to make certain items because it requires a ‘fully functional Fabricator‘. It’s much less confusing than it makes it out to sound, but this Fabricator upgrade will…

It seems like the Steam Controller is a hit. After selling out immediately, Valve implemented a reservation system to get your hands on it without having to fight so many scalpers. If you recently purchased one, and your package has been sent to the wrong country by mistake, there’s a chance Valve will reimburse you…

We got our first look at Alienware’s first budget gaming laptop at CES earlier this year, and now, nearly half a year later, the Alienware 15 is here, and you can go buy it over at Dell.com right now. But before you go rushing off to throw your money at one, there are some things…

Getting Titanium Ingots in Subnautica 2 threw me through a hoop when I first needed to find them to craft the Sonic Resonator. Why? Because unlike the basic materials you’ll have been searching for so far, you actually have to make Titanium Ingots using a machine, adding an extra step to the process. The good…

Battlestar Galactica’s resurgence in 2003 was a landmark moment in science fiction, taking a weirdly Mormon ’70s sci-fi romp and turning it into a gloomy space thriller full of political and military drama. “Yes,” it said, “sci-fi will have its prestige drama moment as well.” We’d had DS9 and Babylon 5 years before, but Battlestar…

It’s rare, especially in this day and age, to see a genuine comeuppance play out in real time—which is why I’m savouring this particular piece of glee as I’m informed that Subnautica 2 has hit a 2 million copy milestone in just 12 hours, after selling a million copies in one. Per a press release…

Subnautica 2 is here, and its sales figures are already impressive. However, it’s important to bear in mind that it’s an early access game (albeit a very good one) and that bugs are definitely present. For example, the game can refuse to provide a 4K resolution option, even if it’s running on a machine with…
