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.

Return to Moria PS5 - Disc Build Analysis
Welcome to our very first single game review. The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria is a fun experience tainted by a clear lack of optimization. If you can look past the hiccups, it's still worth checking out. You can find it at the following stores (ref links):

Sadly, we can confirm that the game-breaking bug discovered in the Xbox release is also present here. If you teleport out of the area before the final boss fight, you won't be able to re-enter it.

Woke up to good news. People in the Nintendo Revised community have discovered a revision for the Mario Galaxy bundle. After Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and an alleged revision for Mario Wonder, this could be the third card previously blocked on SW2 to receive a now working revision.

Definitely could use more optimization on the performance and graphical side of things. Sadly comes with a bit of GenAI content as well. Still, you can beat the game.
