Bottom Line
A strange selection of games and muddy upscaling keep the PlayStation Classic mini retro game system from doing Sony's first console justice
Most of the original PlayStation games have a difficult time holding up in 2018. The list of included titles feels a bit lacking and we wish Sony included a DualShock controller instead of the analog-less originals. At $100
Great hardware, Restore points, Fantastic Controller
Odd selection of games, No power block included, Limited display options
The PlayStation Classic had the potential to be something truly incredible; given the vast library of amazing titles on Sony's first console, it was fair to expect a stunning product - and while the PlayStation Classic still manages to impress in many reg...

A box literally filled with nostalgia, Console is absolutely amazing to look at
Games won't look at good as you remember, Controller cables could be longer
A strange mix of joy and disappointment, all wrapped up in a little package that's looks every bit as good as you'd hope...
Well built, Many classic games included, Two controllers, Brings back great memories
Some very notable game absentees, Controller cables are too short, Bare bones options
So the overall games list is where the PlayStation Classic falters a touch. We could even live with the short leads on controllers and sit closer the TV if we were careening around corners in Gran Turismo or spelling out horse in Tony Hawk's two-player co...

The PlayStation Classic is a serviceable retro console with 20 mid-90s games, but many of them don't hold up as well as you might have hoped, while other, better ones are conspicuously absent...

This tiny PSX is ultra-adorable, Revives some legendary games, Controllers are sturdy and responsive
Some baffling picks in the lineup, Missing many key 32-bit classics, Very short controller cables
If you've lived and breathed PlayStation since the very first console helped revolutionise gaming, then rejoice: Sony's PlayStation Classic nails all of the aesthetic details while reviving some of the most legendary games of all time. On the other hand...

Two controllers in every box, Some interesting game choices, Built-in memory cards
Some games didn't age well, Limitations on resume points, Limited nostalgia factor
Because it doesn't rely on the best-remembered games from the '90s, the PlayStation Classic isn't quite everything we hoped it'd be. That said, what we feel it lacks in software is made up, in part, by its lovingly crafted hardware...
The PlayStation Classic is a wasted opportunity. What should have been a pint-sized nod to an incredible legacy has instead ended up as a crushing disappointment. It's a middling section of poorly emulated games wrapped tiny plastic shell. Sony messed thi...
Abstract: Modern video games are amazing. With lifelike graphics, realistic physics, extensive artificial intelligence, and online multiplayer options, today's video games are so much more sophisticated than older games. That doesn't change the fact that some of th...
