The Lunar Remastered Collection is now available on Steam, priced at 49.99โ‚ฌ. As excitement builds among gamers, some users express concern over the cost of this remastered classic. The game reportedly functions well on the Steam Deck, but early adopters are sharing mixed feelings about its pricing.

Smooth Performance on Steam Deck

One user reported, "Itโ€™s working well with no problems on my Steam Deck." They noted all control inputs correctly matched the device's buttons, allowing for a smooth gaming experience. Players can set a refresh rate of 60 FPS and adjust the thermal design power (TDP) to 8W.

However, users pointed out a significant limitation: no support for a 16:10 aspect ratio at launch, restricted to 1280x720, which some see as a drawback. Despite this, the user continued, "Iโ€™m super thrilled to be able to play this on the go on the Deck."

Nostalgia vs. Pricing Controversy

As the release day progressed, nostalgia played a big role in users' decisions to purchase. One fan remarked, "I still have the original CD with oVP. Had tears in the eyes when it ended." This emotional connection is not lost on publishers, who seem aware of the allure of nostalgia, with another player commenting, "The price some (I?) pay for nostalgia ๐Ÿ˜ข and the publishers know it."

Nevertheless, not all feedback has been positive. A cost-conscious gamer voiced stronger feelings, saying, "50 euros for a remaster of 2 20 year old games is vile work."

As discussions unfold online, one question remains: Is the nostalgia trip worth its weight in euros? The communityโ€™s reactions highlight a blend of excitement and disappointment regarding the pricing of beloved classics.

"Some players are ready to part with cash for nostalgia; others are not convinced."

This developing story may evolve as more players share their experiences. What remains clear is that Lunar Remastered Collection is stirring up chatter in the gaming communityโ€”both for its gameplay and its price tag.
