An exclusive bundle of thirty, more or less classic, games created by Rare studio (for some time also known as Rareware) between 1983 and 2008. Those include titles like Sabre Wulf, Knight Lore, Killer Instinct Gold, Banjo-Kazooie, Perfect Dark, Kameo: Elements of Power or Viva Pinata. Sadly, some of their iconic productions, like Donkey Kong, are still owned by Nintendo, and thus they are not included in Rare Replay.

VideoGamer: 8 / 10 by Tom Orry

Rare Replay is a lovely collection that I can't help but feel could have been even lovelier.

Hardcore Gamer: 4 / 5 by Matt Whittaker

Rare Replay isn't without its minor hiccups, understandable in such a vast collection, but it's something that should be in every Xbox One owner's collection. Even though Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts and Blast Corps have their share of technical issues and the ZX Spectrum titles included have aged roughly, it's going to be almost impossible not to enjoy yourself here.

God is a Geek: 9 / 10 by Mick Fraser

A collection of pure gold. Even the few less-famous titles are worth a look, and the inclusion of a handful of last-gen diamonds makes it unbelievable value.
