Rare Replay is a collection that will definitely remind you why this studio is so beloved these days. Great games (even though we still miss a few), great price and tons of extras that a Rare fan shouldn't miss.- Vandal

Streets of Rage is back with a new game that nails the feeling of the classics. It looks great, has a fair amount of unlockable content, and adds small changes to the combat to make it even better. We’ve experienced some issues playing online that, according to the devs, will be fixed soon, but that aside, the experience was fantastic and it definitely deserves that 4.- Vandal

This stunningly beautiful puzzle game stands out for its artistic design, immersive atmosphere, and simple but enjoyable mechanics, though its low difficulty might not challenge experienced players. Its brevity limits its potential to fully develop new ideas but, since it will receive new content, maybe we’ll see that evolution there.- Vandal

A horror adventure with classic flavour, something we miss in current times. Its story is really interesting and its combat system is great. It also has a great atmosphere, and the game knows how to mantain the player in tension and fear. Although its controls are quite archaic and it has much to improve technically, this is a very recommended game.- Vandal

Clearly inspired by the collectible games of the early 2000s, Revenge of the Savage Planet also celebrates Metroid 3D in a way that few dare to pay homage to. This is one of the most honest experiences without Samus Aran as the protagonist, even though it overdoes the amount of tasteless jokes in the story.- Vandal

It is a pleasure to play again the first game and to recover the excellent third entry in the series, which is still one of the best hack and slash games around, and even the second installment is good, if only to show how not to make a sequel. A great HD adaptation which keeps the gameplay intact and takes the game to current displays, and also includes some interesting extras. If you haven't played the originals, it is a great chance to do it.- Vandal
