Atari 50: The Wider World of Atari DLC Reviews
All in all, while the new timeline jumps around and doesn’t boast the same natural sense of progression as the main game, what you’re getting here is still well worth perusing if you’re interested in discovering more about this formative company and its games. We suspect that once the second DLC pack launches in November, the overall Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration Expanded Edition package will stand as the final word on interactive documentaries in the video game space.
Atari 50 – The Wider World of Atari from developer Digital Eclipse adds to the overall Atari 50 historical package but doesn’t bring the strongest line-up of history or games seen in the original release.
Digital Eclipse’s debut in the interactive videogame documentary genre gets even bigger, showing more of one of the most important companies in the business.
Atari 50: The Wider World of Atari DLC is a fantastic addition to the Atari 50 collection. It delivers more of what made the original game such a standout: fascinating historical insights, a beautifully curated museum-like presentation, and, of course, more classic games. If you enjoyed your first trip through the digital halls of Atari history, this DLC offers a great excuse to jump back in. And for those discovering Atari 50 for the first time, The Wider World of Atari provides yet another reason to pick up the base game and experience one of the most comprehensive presentations of retro gaming ever made. While not everyone will find themselves captivated by the classic games on offer, after all, these titles are often simplistic by today’s standards, the historical value of the collection is undeniable. For retro gaming fans, this is an experience that shouldn’t be missed.
