My Game Pass expired but apparently I own Rare Replay because I watched some E3 stream on Mixer once (RIP those rewards they used to give). There's 30 games here and I have very little experience with them. I played and really liked Banjo-Kazooie, tried Tooie for a bit but wasn't feeling it, and right now I'm having a surprising amount of fun with Viva Pinata. I know Perfect Dark is beloved but aside from that are any others worth it? It's a shame Diddy Kong Racing isn't on here.

Full list for reference:
Atic Atac
Banjo-Kazooie
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts
Banjo-Tooie
Battletoads
Battletoads Arcade
Blast Corps
Cobra Triangle
Conker's Bad Fur Day

Grabbed by the Ghoulies

Jetpac
Jetpac Refuelled
Kameo: Elements of Power

I liked Blast Corps a lot, but I can't speak to how well it may have aged.

I would say it's worth checking out Conker's Bad Fur Day, Kameo: Elements of Power, and Perfect Dark.

I haven't played them but I've heard good things about Blast Corps and Jet Force Gemini.

Blast Corps, Nuts & Bolts, and Viva Pinata are their best three games.

Special shout out to Sabre Wulf for having the worst new player experience Ive ever seen in a game

It actively destroys you for daring to even attempt to play it not already knowing how to

Conkers bad fur day still has the best multiplayer of any game to date, also the main game is worth finishing.

jet force gemini I recall being very good (I last played it like 20 years ago)

Blast Corps was kinda unplayable and outdated when it was released so you'll be having the same experience in 2020 as we did when it was released (it's a good game)

They remastered Perfect dark so technically that's the best one by default

I dislike tooie and conker

Battletoads arcade is great for some multiplayer beat em up action

Conker is great.

Jet Force is good but there is something really annoying about it that turned me off from ever finishing it.

I'd like to point out that, while Perfect Dark is indeed great, Perfect Dark Zero is awful.

Does RR make any improvements to JFG's controls? It could really benefit from a modern dual-analogue setup.
(I don't own an XB1, but keep being tempted to buy one mainly for Rare Replay).

Surprised at the many Nuts and Bolts suggestions, I thought Banjo fans hated that game. Will take looks into Conker, Jet Force, Blast Corps and Kameo. Thanks for the recs!

Banjo fans do, but many people have said it like this: You don't think of it as a Banjo-Kazooie game, it's good. If you think of it as what ruined the franchise, you hate it.

I love Snake Rattle N' Roll. That game is so old and dated now, and weird to play. But I had a blast playing that co-op on the nes back in the day.

I'm actually playing Perfect Dark now. It's a shame that people only talk about Goldeneye when they talk about N64 shooters when PD is better in pretty much every way. It's got so many neat things in it. I even think it looks good for a 2000s console game!

Just about everything N64 onward I'd say is worth playing. Perfect Dark Zero and Jetpac Refuelled being the exceptions.

As far as pre N64 goes. Battletoads is at least worth experiencing for its notorious difficulty alone. I also have a soft spot for Atic Atac, because it's honestly pretty impressive for the time.

Also so glad to see Viva Pinata getting some love, I feel like it's really underrated.

Grabbed by the Ghoulies is a bit repetitive, but fun! You should definitely try it. Its not long at all.
