The Rare games were cutting edge and the commercial meteor of the 16-bit generation; they were the 16-bit equivalent of GTA.
The Retro games were throwbacks at best.

It’s like trying to compare New Super Mario Bros 2 and U to Super Mario Bros 3 and World. No comparison.

I don't feel like the Retro game were throwbacks at all, rather they looked forward and pursued a new direction based on more interactive environments and setpieces instead of trying to copy the style of Rare's games.
