3DNews	Иван Бышонкoв	9 / 10	07-01-2017	Wipeout: Omega Collection is a great reminder that Wipeout series is still strong and unbelievably fun to play. Even after two decades.	Read review
Areajugones	Pablo Espinosa	7.5 / 10	06-05-2017	WipEout Omega Collection is a great return for the arcade racing videogames. Thanks to its colorful circuits, variety of vehicles and amazing soundtrack, this game delivers a unique experience.	Read review
Atomix	Emilio Reyes	90 / 100	06-08-2017	Wipeout Omega Collection is an excelent remaster, the best way to play the most recent games of the franchise. It offer us great graphics, terrific soundtrack and a gameplay that remind us why Wipeout is the king of futuristic racing games and deserve to continue with more entries to the series in the near future.	Read review
Cerealkillerz	Daniel Schwab	7.7 / 10	06-27-2017	Weiterführend muss jedoch gesagt werden, dass sich die kleinen technischen Schwierigkeiten komplett auf den Online-Modus beschränken und das Spiel sonst einwandfrei läuft. Jedoch vermisste ich einen gewissen Charakter während meiner Zeit in den Kampagnen, denn obwohl die Events großteils kurzweiligen Spaß bieten und im Verlauf auch fordern, fehlte mir persönlich die Langzeitmotivation. Zwar erwarte ich bei so einem Spiel nicht unbedingt einen Story-Modus, aber ein wenig Hintergrund hätte auf jeden Fall geholfen. So fühlte sich das ganze etwas zu mechanisch und gefühlslos an. Generell ist die Omega Collection jedoch ein gelungenes Comeback von Wipeout. An dieser Stelle darf auch gehofft werden, dass das Spiel Sonys erwartete Verkaufszahlen erfüllt und wir womöglich in absehbarer Zukunft einen “echten” neuen Ableger der Wipeout-Serie bekommen.

CGMagazine	Brendan Quinn	8.5 / 10	07-31-2017	WipEout Omega Collection is a fantastic update that runs as smooth as a supersonic hovercraft.	Read review
COGconnected	Alexander Thomas	84 / 100	06-19-2017	Once you taste that first sweet gold medal, it’s hard to put down the controller knowing the next one is right around the corner.	Read review
Critical Hit	Darryn Bonthuys	8.5 / 10	06-05-2017	WipeOut at its best has always been gorgeous on the eyes and smooth on the ears with a soundtrack that matches the beat of the game. WipEout: Omega Collection is that sensation wrapped up in striking 4K visuals that helps define it as the definitive WipEout experience.	Read review
Destructoid	Jordan Devore	8.5 / 10	06-07-2017	All told, this is a content-rich collection, one that is especially worth investing in for WipEout newcomers. Longtime players might feel fatigue from tracks that have seen repeated use over the years, but even then, I’d argue the audio and visual polish present in Omega Collection makes it worthwhile — with or without a 4K-ready setup. The dream of the ’90s is alive at PlayStation.	Read review
Digital Chumps	Eric Layman	8 / 10	03-26-2017	Wipeout persists as a utopian phantom consumed with aesthetic elegance and driven to exhibit a vivid sensation of speed. The nature of this package’s identity—Wipeout Omega Collection is three different but very similar experiences—may nudge against a wall of homogeneity, but it’s easy to overlook when you’re going too fast to focus on anything in the periphery.	Read review
Digitally Downloaded	Matt Sainsbury	4 / 5 stars	06-06-2017	Could you argue that not enough of this game is new for fans of the series	Read review
DualShockers	Logan Moore	7.5 / 10	06-05-2017	The WipEout Omega Collection is a great bundle of racing games that still hold up quite well today. Returning fans of the franchise will find that the racing is as good as it ever was, but may be disappointed with the lack of extras included. Newcomers who are interested in giving the series a shot will find WipEout to be unlike any other racing game currently on the market, which is oddly refreshing for a collection of old games. All in all, the WipEout Omega Collection does its job as a remaster bundle even if it does feel sparse with bonus content.	Read review

FingerGuns	Sean Davies	8 / 10	06-21-2017	WipEout Omega Collection is a turbo boost down memory lane for long time fans in which we get to play 3 of the best games in the series in their best possible light.	Read review
Gameblog	Gianni Molinaro	8 / 10	06-05-2017	You can regret that this is not a new WipEout for PS4. But you can’t blame this compilation fr being what it is. Because it is indeed a great way to meet again with the series and its beautiful and intoxicating races, with a lot of challenges and fun offered offline and online.	Read review
GameMAG	Azzy	8 / 10	07-16-2017	Wipeout Omega Collection is a requiem for the cult classic of PlayStation, familiar product, processed under the modern TVs and technology. The collection is meant to entertain bored fans of racing genre, and may be very relevant before big holiday blockbusters hit the market. And if you are an old fan of the series, you need to buy this game anyway.	Read review
Gameplanet	Chris Brown	9 / 10	06-27-2017	Wipeout Omega Collection is the triumphant return of an icon. Its blistering speed, slick visuals, and thumping soundtrack are everything you’d ever want from a Wipeout game, even if – upgrades aside – it is everything you’ve already had in a Wipeout game.	Read review
GamePro	Tobias Veltin	85 / 100	06-08-2017	Successful remaster collection with timeless gameplay and a great extent.	Read review
GameSpot	Miguel Concepcion	9 / 10	06-06-2017	This remastered trio splendidly captures Studio Liverpool’s turn-of-the-decade hover racing renaissance.	Read review
GamesRadar+	David Meikleham	4.5 / 5 stars	06-05-2017	With breakneck racing thrills and impeccable presentation, this ranks up there with The Last Of Us Remastered as the best redux on PS4.	Read review
GamingBolt	Alex Jackson	9 / 10	06-15-2017	There are a couple of nitpicks too many against Wipeout Omega Collection from being a flawless package, but the sheer hours of racing that you’ll get from the game, how gorgeous it looks and how well the mechanics hold up earn it an easy and complete recommendation anyways.	Read review
Geeks Under Grace	Maurice Pogue	8 / 10	06-06-2018	wipEout remains the most renowned of futuristic racers, delivering AAA-tier visuals and similar gameplay. Yet time will tell how much pedigree alone will suffice in the stead of innovation.	Read review
God is a Geek	Chris White	9 / 10	06-05-2017	It’s great to see this series on the PlayStation 4, and you’d be daft not to give it a go. Fantastic track design, a stunning soundtrack, and plenty of game modes makes this one of the best racers out there.	Read review
Hobby Consolas	Álvaro Alonso	80 / 100	06-05-2017	Wipeout is back with all it’s extreme speed and catchy electronic tunes. The Omega Collection is a great reminder of what makes this franchise so good… But also leaves us desperately wanting a proper new game.	Read review
IGN Italy	Mattia Ravanelli	8 / 10	06-05-2017	WipEout Omega Collections is full of tracks, veichles and style. But there’s nothing really new and the game isn’t as fresh as it used to be.	Read review
IGN Spain	Juan García	8 / 10	06-05-2017	A nice remake that only makes what’s strictly necessary to accomplish its goals. A missed opportunity and a great game eitherways.	Read review
Impulsegamer	James Coles	4.5 / 5 stars	06-07-2017	The thing that sets Wipeout apart from racing games of today is that it doesn’t take itself seriously during a time where some racing games are beginning to do so more regularly. Wipeout is silly, it always has been, but that’s the beauty of this gravity-defying joyride. Every time Sony releases their latest console, I eagerly anticipate the release of a new Wipeout game to accompany it. Although this time it’s taken a while for this iconic racer to get an update to next gen, WipEout: Omega Collection has been worth the wait.	Read review
M3	P-A Knutsson	9 / 10	06-05-2017	Wipeout Omega Collection is one of the best racing games this year, and probably the best collection of a Playstation classic we have seen.	Read review
Metro GameCentral	GameCentral	8 / 10	06-05-2017	A very welcome return for Sony’s classic future racer, and while it doesn’t represent anything new it does show the WipEout series at its very best.	Read review
Nexus	Garth Kaestner	9 / 10	06-06-2017	The Omega Collection, for the most part, focuses on what the series had to offer in the generation prior to the PlayStation 4, and shows us just how much these titles hold up on new hardware.	Read review
NZGamer	Angus Deacon	8.5 / 10	06-26-2017	Shiny and in 4K glory, this is the best WipEout has ever looked.	Read review
Player2.net.au	Jenn Christodoulou	Recommended	06-18-2017	Whether you want to play this game with mates, or just pump up the jams and solo the campaign at your own pace, Wipeout is beyond fun for both fans of the franchise and newcomers alike. If you pick up one racing game over the next few months make it this one, there will be no regrets I can assure you.	Read review
PlayStation LifeStyle	Paulmichael Contreras	9 / 10	06-05-2017	The WipEout Omega Collection is all the WipEout goodness a fan could want. You’ve basically got the most modern rendition of a PlayStation classic in UHD and HDR, at a blistering frame rate and with an accompanying booming soundtrack. Yet for those of us who played these three games to death, this collection will serve as a painful reminder that we haven’t seen new WipEout material on a home console in a long time. Regardless, given all the content on offer for a sub-$40 asking price, the WipEout Omega Collection is a no-brainer purchase for gamers of all kinds.	Read review
PlayStation Universe	Timothy Nunes	8.5 / 10	07-31-2019	It’s brilliant to see WipEout back. It looked great back in the day, but thanks to the power of PS4 it now looks incredible, and captures with style the adrenaline-pumping action that we so fondly remember.	Read review
PowerUp!	Leo Stevenson	8 / 10	06-05-2017	PlayStation fans will love it, racing fans will love it, gamers will love it	Read review
Press Start	Adam Mathew	9 / 10	06-06-2017	It’s brutally old school and will push your hand-eye to the limit, but Wipeout Omega Collection represents style, substance and value for money in equal measure. This is a glorious homecoming of a flagship PlayStation title, an unmissable synaesthetic treat for your ear and eye holes that earns its light-seizure warnings. Your Star Wars prequel memes are mistaken. THIS is pod racing.	Read review
pressakey.com	Kevin Henschen	Recommended	07-17-2017	Was für eine Rückkehr! Das zeitlose Konzept sowie die äußerst gute Arbeit katapultieren WipEout zurück in die Spielerherzen. Wer auf schnelle und erbarmungslose Action steht, ist hier bestens bedient.	Read review
PSX Brasil	Luis Guilherme Machado Camargo	95 / 100	06-30-2017	Omega Collection is the definitive version of three games within a genre that, unfortunately, doesn’t get a lot of new games. Wipeout is about controlling your ship in unbelievable speeds and, today, there are few games that can give you that thrill for speed which such excellency.	Read review
Pure Playstation	Chris Harding	7 / 10	08-24-2017	If you’re a veteran airship racer then you’ll have no qualms with this collection. It’s decently priced, it looks bloody amazing, and it plays like a dream. If you’re a newbie coming in fresh as a daisy, take the time to learn WipEout’s intricacies and style before you resign it to the bin.	Read review
Push Square	Sammy Barker	7 / 10	06-05-2017	WipEout Omega Collection is an impressive remaster that shines at high speeds, though elements of this compilation are starting to show their age. Despite being boosted all the way up to 4K on the PS4 Pro, some of the tracks are returning for the fourth time, and while WipEout 2048’s contemporary layouts look luxurious on the big screen, it can be hard to shake the feeling of familiarity on occasion. That said, if anti-grav is your bag, then there’s nothing quite like the original – even with the number of inferior pretenders on the racing scene these days.	Read review
Rocket Chainsaw	Adam Ghiggino	4.5 / 5 stars	06-05-2017	WipEout Omega Collection is a must-buy if you have any love or nostalgia at all for the series, as it looks fantastic, plays extremely smoothly and has enough content to keep you busy for months.	Read review
Saudi Gamer	عصام الشهوان	8 / 10	06-06-2017	A fast and exciting racer with a style of its own, and a great release even if the content isn’t new.	Read review
Sirus Gaming	Hansoy Jurado	8 / 10	06-16-2017	This isn’t a game everybody would appreciate, especially those who aren’t racing game fans, even I myself, wasn’t really a fan of the franchise before but after spending hours of playing the game, I got to see the game’s imperfections but I was just happy that I got to play the franchise again and seeing all the slick visual and gameplay improvisions, with or without the 4k setup, it sure made my experience worthwhile.	Read review
SpazioGames	Gianluca Arena	8.5 / 10	06-06-2017	Wipeout Omega Collection takes three forgotten titles to the attention of the vast PS4 public, adding 4K resolution, HDR support and steady 60 fps. Maybe this won’t be enough for players that have already played Pure, Pulse and 2048, but all the rest of the racing game lovers out there should consider buying it.	Read review
Stevivor	Steve Wright	8.5 / 10	06-06-2017	WipEout Omega Collection won’t hold your hand	Read review
The Games Machine	Davide Mancini	9 / 10	06-04-2017	WipEout is a religion, the air brakes are its ministers, and speed is its only temple. Omega Collection is the celebration of its creed, the three chapters of the saga gathered in one, thrilling experience. If you love speed, you can’t possibly want to miss it.	Read review
TheSixthAxis	Dominic Leighton	9 / 10	06-05-2017	Wipeout Omega Collection pulls together some of the series’ most recent highlights and uses the power of the PlayStation 4 Pro to keep the franchise on the technological bleeding edge – and it does so in spectacular fashion. This feels like far more than a tentative step towards a fully-fledged new entry, proving that as long as there’s PlayStation, there should be Wipeout.	Read review
Video Chums	Mary Billington	8.8 / 10	06-05-2017	The WipEout series is a shining example of how to keep racing exciting with many variations and an awesome visual style.	Read review
Wccftech	Rosh Kelly	9 / 10	06-16-2017	Wipeout Omega Collection offers that rare blend of arcade fun and serious racer. Fans of both can enjoy this game and there’s plenty of options to make sure no one feels left out.	Read review
WellPlayed	Zach Jackson	9 / 10	06-05-2017	Thanks to its stunning visuals, electrifying soundtrack and exhilarating and addictive gameplay, the Wipeout Omega Collection is one of the best racing titles this generation	Read review
