This "No*" is a borderline case. And not in the good way. Many missing sound effects, flickering graphics, missing music and other issues. Definitely a lack of QA.

Today ends one of the craziest stories in gaming. Troubled development, completely made-up marketing promises, and a lot of wasted potential. Anthem, Bioware's failed multiplayer blockbuster, shuts its servers today. #StopKillingGames came to late for this piece of history.

The wait continues. The recently discovered revision for the Mario Galaxy Bundle does NOT contain the required update to play the card natively on Switch 2. Only 1.1.0 included. The Switch 2 block can only be bypassed by updating to at least 1.2.0.

Took a brief first look at the PS5 releases for Yakuza 0. Disc from the 20th Anniversary bundle is the same as in the Director's Cut stand-alone release, as expected. We installed with the Collection disc, but started the game with the stand-alone release disc (both GSA region).

Several visual issues on top of a few performance/crashing hiccups. Certainly a flawed build, but there is still enjoyment to be found in this game. Checked out the ESRB release this time.

A few crashes, a few minor bugs like characters getting stuck in a few places. Not the best build we've tested, but nothing too bad either.

Yes, we've seen the announcement about Atomic Heart getting an Ultimate Edition.
Since it doesn't even have a release date, it is way too early to tell if it will come with an updated build. Sure as hell needs one, though.
We'll let you know once we hear more.
