“UFO 50 is unbelievable. You're not necessarily going to play every game for hours on end but they're all good video games without caveats and there are 50 of them. It really is as simple as that.”
“Brought me back to when I got the NES and SNES classic and absolutely fell in love for almost every game in the collection (not you hot foot & fist hell). There is a game for everyone on this collection and I truly wish…”
“Wow it was worth the wait. 50 games that go from good to great. I have yet to try them all. Buy this game collection if you like any kind of 2D or retro game. You will surely find something good here.”

“I've spent 12 hours on this game and so far I've only played and beaten two games. (Barbuta & Bug Hunter) Can't believe I still have 48 games to play. Definitely getting my money's worth. If you grew up play retro…”
“You won't like every game in the collection, but each game is of such high quality and polish that even if you only find a few that you like it's still worth it.”

“This game really makes you *feel* like you're a kid growing up in the 80's, not that i would know i wasn't even born yet 10/10”
“Really makes you feel like you are playing old ROM files on your dad's computer while he is at work.”
“Absolutely the best value in gaming. An unbelievably broad range of fully fleshed-out games in different genres. There's a subtle and intriguing meta-narrative of the company behind this fictional console that doesn't…”

“If you are patient enough to test the games to find the ones you like, it is basically impossible for this package to not be worth the money. Beyond that, the meta narrative and progression and homage to 80s and early…”

“A massive accomplishment with a commentary on game preservation and the dire state it's in. What a unique idea for a game.”

“Ugh, how do you even review a hodgepodge of games like this? Some are good, some are mediocre, a few are garbage, a few are delightful. Compared to modern games they're relatively short, a nice bunch of experiences that…”

“Disappointed. Purchased because it reviewed so well, I guess on nostalgia... I grew up through the 80s and 90s playing games of that era. I tried every game here, all 50... and while there's a few that I threw a couple…”
“If you want to give every game in the bundle a fair chance, two hours isn’t enough. I gave it a try and at least launched every game. About half of them were an immediate “No!”; I played the next 20 for a few minutes,…”
“I definitely had fun playing the many games of UFO 50, but it's one of those games I clearly should have watched reviews before buying. Out of the 50 games, there were maybe only 5 that I liked, and only 2 that I liked…”

“Exceeded my expectations but I HATE COMBATANTS I wanted a fun battle sim but it's all about cheesing the AI. Other games are great though, like Velgress, Vainger, Night Manor, Party House, Hot Foot, Ninpek and more. I…”

“49 of the 50 games being good or even great is a pretty solid acheivment, but im not gonna spoil witch one is trash, finding out is part of the fun”
— a player, Steam review · 121 hrs played“This is one of the best purchases I have ever made in my entire life. Bar NONE. If you are looking at this and don't want to read the rest, that's the take away. Buy this game. This is not only a collection of 50 full games. It's a game about history. About stories. First, it's…”
— a player, Steam review · 35 hrs played“Why are they charging so little for this!? I've only played half the games here, and haven't even finished most of those. There's a few that aren't really my thing but every game feels very purposefully crafted with modern design direction fused with old school in a way that…”
