"Players can now hide system apps, pin favorites to the list, and reduce the number of tiles displayed. This update is part of our ongoing effort to make Home more personal, flexible, and responsive to feedback."
This is welcomed, i like a less cluttered home screen.
CCG writes - "Overall, while this is not my sort of game, it's still got a cute aesthetic and is safe for all ages. Technically, some obtuse puzzle solutions aside, it's solid. Morally, there is nothing objectionable. If you want a cute chill-out game or something for a young child, then this title is recommended."
Borderlands 4 receives Mature and M18 ratings for intense violence, gore, sexual themes, and strong language.
