VGChartz’s Miles Gregory: “Though the collection certainly allows one to take a trip down memory lane, it does so with antiquated force that is often forgotten by those with rose-colored glasses. Since I didn’t have the experience of playing these games in my youth, I felt every bump and outdated mechanic much harder than someone who may hold nostalgia for these games, and the developer did very little to cushion the impact. For this reason, I find it hard to really recommend this experience to a general audience. Instead, it’s best served to those who are choosing to relive their gaming past or who have frequent experience with older game mechanics and don’t mind spending a significant portion of time either experimenting in the game or utilizing walkthroughs & guides.”
