LUNAR Remastered Collection is a must-play for RPG fans and I am having an amazing time playing it.

That being said, these are two remarkable, classic games that have held up as well as any other retro JRPG, and one of them hasn’t actually been released in the West in a very long time (Lunar 2’s last release outside of Japan was on the PlayStation! You owe it to yourself to pick this up, because, in every way, these are truly vintage JRPG classics.

The Lunar games are delightful, classic RPGs, and the Lunar Remastered Collection makes them easier to play than ever. It doesn’t bring together all versions of each game for a truly comprehensive look at the series’ history, but it is a faithful update to the PS1 remakes.

LUNAR Remastered Collection is a fantastic trip down memory lane, delivering two classic RPGs with subtle modern enhancements. Whether you're a returning fan or a newcomer, it's an experience worth exploring.

The opening cutscene of Lunar Silver Star Story might be the most ‘90s introduction to any game I’ve ever played… and I was alive in the 90s. Presented here in glorious 4:3, and accompanied by Noriyuki Iwadare and Victor Ireland’s track ‘Wings’, it captures a moment in gaming and culture where anime was making inroads into the West, and Japanese developers could push the latest hardware to newfound heights, making this a golden age for JRPGs.

Lunar Remastered Collection respects the original translation, delivering an improved experience for both charming games with a few missteps, making this collection one any JRPG fan should enjoy.

As a collection of two incredible games, the Lunar Remastered Collection is a faithful remaster. Don't let the retro look fool you; Lunar Remastered Collection is a relevant and excellent package.

This is a great compilation of two breezy and iconic representations of anime-styled fantasy JRPGs in the 1990s.

What I love most about RPGs is how they make you feel—the wonder, the whimsy and magic, but also the weight of the world. Having tackled a lot of the space in this space, I rarely feel like I’m seeing something new. Visiting LUNAR Remastered Collection, a pair of games I’ve admittedly missed, I’m left wondering why it took me so damn long to get to them. And why don’t people make games like this anymore?

There are many instances in life in which charm and charisma can make the most mundane people, movies, songs and games stand out, saving them from being simply (and justifiably so) labeled as mediocre. A great example will be talked about today, as I’ve had the opportunity of playing remastered versions of the seminal Lunar games. For many, the announcement of this collection was a first opportunity to finally play these cult hits, the typical games like one of your friends in middle school...

If you’ve been looking for a way to play these games on modern consoles, then Lunar Remastered Collection is a godsend. The visuals are mostly preserved, the item management is better, and the voice acting is brand new. New players might be thrown by the simple plot and the retro combat, but the high-speed autobattles offer a convenient off-ramp. While they aren’t my favorite retro RPGs by any means, this collection is a great way to get ahold of them. If nothing else, the 90s anime vibes are downright immaculate.
