Right im gonna get down to the nitty gritty instantly. This collection is a HOT MESS of a collection and I have no idea why anyone thought this presentation was in any way, shape or form acceptable. The intro movie lags, the selection meanus creak and actually getting into any game takes WAY too long. I get the idea behind it, the whole virtual game library and bedroom setup is cute but if its coded like shit and runs like shit, then maybe just scale that the hell back maybe?

Also on the bad side is the games list itself. Like most of the other collections you'll find some ones that havent seen the collection before and some removed that was there previously. This isnt the problem. The problem is having such a big disparity between versions. Oh? You wanna play the Monster Boy series? Hope you didnt buy it on switch. Oh you want Eternal Champions? Better get the pack on PC. Its a mess.

Sure if you somehow havent picked up one of the hundred of other MegaDrive collections, this isnt a bad place to go and theres still plenty of fun to have... But theres so much jank in the way. It hurts.

Also come on SEGA. Start putting 'The Ooze' into a few more collections. Or do a Master System collection. Just give us something a bit less like reheated chinese takeout.
