I can't believe a group of people thought to make a wonderful game like this. I've never had so many "Aha!" moments in one collection of games.

I can't believe a group of people thought to make a wonderful game like this. I've never had so many "Aha!" moments in one collection of games. The beauty of this collection is that you get to figure out each game yourself if you want. It's truly magnificent each time you find out for yourself what to do, especially when it comes to understanding the core mechanics of each game and what it actually offers.

UFO 50 is a miracle. I've never felt so impressed by a game. The amount of work it must've taken to make just one of the fifty games was not just the six years this game was in development, it was these developers' whole lives. There is considerate game design, vibrant yet focused style, intentionality within the limitations of the made-up system, the made-up lore, and the music is just absolutely killer. Everything just sings with nostalgia while also scratching those modern sensibilities. Plus the presentation lampshades any possible complaints I could have. Games were just occasionally kinda jank back then.

I don't know if I like every game. But I do respect every game.

I don't know if I dislike any of the fifty games. Saying that after playing for over fifty hours feels like a miracle. Tons available and everything is delicious. Jesus feeds the five thousand.

Masterpiece

My first console was the N64. I have no nostalgia for NES, SNES, or any retro game before the late 90s. I don't care for old games with bad controls and unnecessary difficulty spikes, and I was absolutely uninterested in UF0 50 because I assumed it would be a poorly thrown together collection of nostalgia bait. WRONG as could be!! …

My first console was the N64. I have no nostalgia for NES, SNES, or any retro game before the late 90s. I don't care for old games with bad controls and unnecessary difficulty spikes, and I was absolutely uninterested in UF0 50 because I assumed it would be a poorly thrown together collection of nostalgia bait. WRONG as could be!! It's a lovingly crafted, brilliantly executed collection of nostalgia bait with something for practically every type of gamer. It even has a fun overarching narrative about the pretend studio that made these games, and a little chao garden mechanic. My personal top 5 games are Grimstone, Night Manor, Mini & Max, Lords of Diskonia, and Party House. There are also games I knew weren't for me after 5 minutes, and thats okay because everyone has different favs and that's what's so cool about UFO 50!
