Squad-based co-op shooters are back in force, and C.A.S.T. is the new poster child. Nearly 9 out of 10 players still back the game months after launch, with veterans of over 25 hours glowing the most. Yet behind the celebrations, glitches lurk in the shadows—bugs are the sole aspect to draw unanimous scorn.
