Entrancing - It's like magic, guys. Time disappears when this game and I are together, and I never want it to end. I'm not sure if this is a love that will last forever, but if it is, you'll get no complaints from me.
Game Informer - 8,75
I have little reason not to recommend Rare Replay, even to those who don’t have nostalgia for the studio. The breadth of content is impressive, and each game has been faithfully ported and upgraded in ways that don’t interfere the original experience. It serves as an exciting reminder of Rare’s best years and makes seeing the developer’s iconic blue and gold logo exciting all over again.

Much of Rare Replay is old material, but that's OK when so many of Rare's games easily stand the test of time. Getting the chance to play its classics in an easily accessible package is worth celebrating, whether you've played them before or always wished you could. And you should, if you haven't had the chance. Rare's games have a way of speaking to you with respect. They embrace video game conventions and rarely take themselves too seriously. Expressive characters warm your heart and catchy and complex soundtracks stick with you long after you turn off your console. Rare Replay is a great way to experience some of the best games from the studio's past, and the new videos that document Rare's storied history are the icing on the cake; it's just a shame that you can't access them from the start.
The Jimquisition - 9,5
Rare Replay is a fantastic compendium from start to finish. Even discounting the games you might never want to play, the price point is intensely difficult to refuse in exchange for the amount of fun it will provide. From Battletoads Arcade to Snake, Rattle & Roll, Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradiseand Banjo-Tooie, there’s so much there, both replayable silliness and extensive, hours-long adventures.
Ars Technica - Buy it if you're an Xbox One owner who could use a deep dive into classic, super-hard games.
The good
The Bad
- 30 games, 30 bucks—and enough are classics to make this a slam-dunk purchase
- Newly emulated games mostly run in original or superior condition, especially once-chuggy N64 games
- "Snapshot" mode adds fun challenges to classic games
- Documentary footage includes genuinely surprising stories and reveals
The Ugly
- No instruction manuals or quality how-to-play instructional materials
- Too much achievement-locked behind-the-scenes content
- Weirdly chuggy moments in some of the collection's Spectrum games
- No Stamper brother appearances in the documentaries—what the #*&#, Rare

Rare Replay is a lovely collection that I can't help but feel could have been even lovelier. It seems a bit petty to be moaning when what's here is such incredible value, but we have some titles at their very peak and others simply emulated. The 360 games not being tied in with the same milestones and launching via backwards compatibility seem slightly disconnected from the rest, too, even if a handful of them show Rare at its best. But had every game been given the same treatment as Grabbed by the Ghoulies, we'd be having to pay a lot more than £20. For what it is, Rare Replay is absolutely worth adding to your Xbox One collection, even if it leaves you wanting just a little more.

RARE REPLAY IS AN ESSENTIAL PIECE OF GAMING HISTORY
Performance concerns aside, Rare Replay demonstrates how a single developer has carried certain elements across a whole span of genres and platforms. There's a sense of ambition to Rare's catalog, of joy and whimsy, a brightness that comes through even in the more self-serious games.Rare Replay paints a picture of a studio always excited and eager to try something new, even if that new thing turned out imperfect. Whatever Rare's future, there's a history here that's worth remembering and celebrating.

Awkward installs and blocked extras aside, Rare Replay is a phenomenal collection, with an attention to detail that can't be faulted. While the sad realities of contractual rights keeps Rare's (arguably) most famous release --GoldenEye 007 -- out of the package, you'll be so swept up in everything else on offer that you'll scarcely notice.
