More about Yu-Gi-Oh! EARLY DAYS COLLECTION
Steam's global achievement data puts about 3 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 2.6-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 400 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 23 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written February 2025 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,866 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 14 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. Inside the two-hour refund window, 53 percent of the 142 reviews written there were positive, against 76 percent overall, and those are 33 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 2.6 hours; clearing it takes 42, which is 16 times the campaign.
At 2.6 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say
Omg, I just really love YGO. I bought the collection during a sale, which was such a steal when you consider that you'll receive an entire collection of games. Many of these titles never even received a release in my region, so it was even better. ♡

Buy it on sale but other wise it's of course same graphics as it was in the past. Wish they could at least up the graphics on the games enough to see the images a little more clear. Then there is no option to lower the volume of the games.
Stop me if you've heard this one before. "No dueling against friends allowed! You can only duel the computer!" I guess this collection was produced by Abridged Kaiba Corp, because they went out of their way to actually disable the local multiplayer on most of the games, and offer online multiplayer on only a fraction of them. People make the argument that local multiplayer NEEDS to be disabled because you can't hide...
