Early on, you’re unlikely to run into many issues finding what you need in Dune: Awakening. Copper, fuel cells, and scrap metal are surprisingly abundant in the wastes of Arrakis. Soon enough, you’ll need to get flour sand, a much more complicated and risky material to gather. You’re most likely to begin scratching your head…
Finding and crafting new materials gets exponentially more complicated in Dune: Awakening as you take already rare resources and refine them in an ever-expanding array of machines. Silicone blocks are no exception and are needed in a variety of useful recipes. Below, I’ll go over all the steps involved in getting silicone blocks, so you…
While most materials in Dune: Awakening are easy to find while you’re exploring, especially since the map tells you what you’ll get from specific activities, erythrite crystals are an exception. These gems are hard to come by unless you know exactly where to look. Below I’ll go over where you’ll find erythrite crystals and the…
Once you reach Griffon’s Reach tradepost in Dune: Awakening, you’ll be prompted to pick up a bunch of contracts—side quests that reward you with some XP and solari—including Scrap Mettle: Wrecking Crew. To complete this contract, you need to find a Holtzman Amplifier, and while you’re told you need to search the wreck of the…
Like a 10,000 year old super soldier, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine has aged surprisingly well. The new Master Crafted Edition is a light touch of a remaster, and I think that was the right approach—the things that earned the game a permanent place in the nostalgic hearts of Warhammer fans nearly 14 years ago are…
So, we can well and truly state that turn-based RPGs are back in fashion, right? Baldur’s Gate 3 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 are some of the industry’s most successful entries in the genre—the argument has well and truly been won. Whether a game’s turn-based or not matters less than whether the game itself is…
The Nothing Ear (a) earbuds are great for listening to music or movies but they’re not the best for gaming. As a pair of earbuds for the average user—especially for those who care about style—they’re great, but for a PC gamer I unfortunately can’t give them a resounding recommendation. Style points are valid points, though,…
GPU overclocking and tweaking tool Afterburner has been the app of choice for countless PC gamers around the world since it first launched way back in the late 2000s. Since then, it’s supported almost every graphics card to appear on the market, but as things currently stand, it doesn’t fully support AMD’s Radeon RX 9070…
One of the games industry’s many badly kept secrets broke cover yesterday when Atlus finally came out and admitted that, yup, it sure is remaking Persona 4. In a trailer operating at the very limits of ‘telling us nothing at all,’ we got a glimpse of good ol’ Inaba in scintillating ultra-HD. Hey, I’ll play…
I have some very mixed feelings about the trailer for Resident Evil 9. Don’t get me wrong, I’m incredibly happy to see it in the flesh, and the idea of returning to some iconic places fills me with nervous joy, but I’m also left wondering if we’ll ever see some of my favourite characters again….
