Microsoft's 40th Birthday Celebrations for Rare: A Mixed Bag
Microsoft's tribute to Rare's 40th anniversary is a blend of nostalgia and missed opportunities. While the Evercade cartridge collection and vinyl soundtrack offer unique collectibles, the overall presentation seems a bit lackluster. The highlight, however, is the revamped content for Sea of Thieves, showcasing Rare's continued relevance in gaming. - The announcement of special in-game rewards is a great touch, but raises questions about accessibility for all players. - Additionally, the new controller design has received mixed reviews, with many deeming it unattractive. Overall, while the celebration has its merits, it feels somewhat disjointed and could have benefited from a more cohesive vision. For further details, check out Eurogamer.
