Is it a collection of games or more of a mashup? Ie, do you get a menu where you pick one of many games that are independent of each other, or is there an overall narrative (or something) that ties them all together like the NES remix packs?
It's a collection of games you pick from a menu. The premise is that they're all from the same studio back then, but they're mostly standalone.
I've only tried a couple so far (the first couple) and they feel pretty basic. I guess if the theory is that they're progression in their development over time the more compelling stuff would be later? Regardless, I wasn't expecting 50 masterpieces, and they've made a point of communicating that they won't all be huge and heavily featured.
I'd definitely be interested in suggestions of ones that stand out though.
Edit: Mortol is the first one I can really see spending some time trying to master. It's a platformer where you have finite lives and need to kill yourself one of three ways to make a path forward for the next guy. I'm going on to new ones for now, but I like it.
