In this gargantuan video, I break down everything about UFO 50, from reviewing every game in the collection, to talking cheat codes, the hidden metagame and lore, what I feel is still missing, and give the entire package a grade. This is no live stream or low-effort content but a massive project I've been spending the past month on, pretty much day in day out. I hope it's enjoyable and comprehensive (well, enough, anyway) and can get you excited for what I think is one of the wildest indie releases in a very long time.
