The snowdrops are out! This is still a sign of winter, but it's a sign of winter progressing, and the progress of winter inevitably leads towards spring. Then we'll have the crocus, and iris, and bluebell, and oh spring! I'm overwhelmingly excited by the realisation that come Thursday, sunset in Edinburgh will no longer fall during working hours. Ah, light! Life! But until then, what are you playing this weekend? Here's what we're clicking on!

chaos;head noah overhaul patch

The Committee of Zero uploaded an uncensored overhaul patch for Chaos;Head Noah, and you can find it on its website. The page also leads to a spoiler-free guide if you wish to follow it and get every ending. This patch is available in both English and Japanese, and you can get it for Steam, Steam Deck, GOG, and Nintendo Switch.

The Chaos;Head Noah overhaul patch is not only uncensored, but it also fixes bugs and is an entirely original translation of the story. There are over 150 translated CGs, as well as additional subtitles and songs. The censorship mostly deals with content that Mages had to cut to lower the age rating for the PSP release. This patch will restore all eleven scenes (which are vital for a full experience) and the Lingerie Conversion Patch DLC.

There is a note from the translators explaining why they chose to re-translate Chaos;Head Noah. They strongly state that they support the translators who worked on the official release but they likely had little time or funds to get the translation to the level they wanted. There were so many mistranslations and inconsistencies, as well as out-of-character writing, that that the Committee of Zero had to re-translate it.

Chaos;Head originally came out in 2008, with the enhanced Chaos;Head Noah coming out in 2009. The story follows Takumi Nishijou, who experiences paranoia and hallucinations, which are a key gameplay mechanic. There has been a series of murders in Shibuya, called the "New Generation Madness" case, and Takumi finds himself wrapped up in it.

Chaos;Head Noah is available for the PC and Nintendo Switch, with the overhaul patch being available for all platforms.

     Undisputed Worth It 1Boxing games used to come out all the time. EA pumped out new Fight Night iterations regularly and there was usually a steady flow of other titles. But the genre kind of dried up over the years. Undisputed entered Early Access the other day and I knew I had to give it a shot. It'd been far too long since I last jumped into a boxing game and I was eager to experience something new. The game has no estimate for when it will be completed but there's very clearly a long way to go for the title. But the question stands – is Undisputed worth it in Early Access? When I say Undisputed is Early Access, I mean that even more than what that usually entails. As soon as I entered the tutorial I was bombarded with placeholder text. For whatever reason, the tutorial appeared to be broken for me. The first couple of sections mostly required me to move, only moving didn't fulfill the criteria. After a few minutes of flailing and hoping the moves would register, I promptly ...
