The updated Cyberpunk 2077 (2.0) has Ray Reconstruction for Path Tracing mode that runs better and has almost no visual glitches (no flickering, etc).

The problem is: that NPCs are still dumb, police now can chase you on cars and bikes (still broken mess), and all common glitches are not gone anywhere.

Works acceptable on RTX 3060 Ti + Ryzen 5600X with DLSS Performance, Path Tracing, and High-Medium settings.

Mass Effect (remastered, from Legendary Edition Trilogy) is very impressive in terms of visuals and art choices. The only thing that makes it questionable is the lack of markers + awkward level design.

It's also interesting how similar the landing works to Starfield: loading, cutscene, and limited map with points of interest.

New iPhones can run Resident Evil Village and Death Stranding, but struggle to keep up with Genshin Impact and some other modern mobile games in ultra settings. Keep it in mind before buying!

Currently SoC A17 tries to run too fast, overheat, and then fall into cooling mode with very low frequency. They will fix it in drivers and it only happens in a few games, but there are reports of similar lags in general apps too.

What's good, however: in future, we may see more Raytraced mobile games – all major SoC manufacturers are supporting it now and apple joined the club. The first one was War Thunder Mobile on Android earlier this year.

The flagship iPhone 15 model is also pretty fragile and can't handle even small bending force applied. Surprisingly, all other models in the lineup are pretty durable.
