Never played a Mana game, but a game should be 90 or higher on metacritic to be critically acclaimed. A score in the 80s is good but not not seen as a game that's among the best.
The collection contains Secret of Mana which alone is critically acclaimed. The other two games in the collection are not so much, so they bring down the overall rating because they're being judged as a package. Not that those other games are bad, just that they're not as good.

Bought it when it was $19.99. Didn't expect it to go down before they sold out its inventory but $10.99 is an incredible deal if you can find it.

I called Best Buy. They are sold out all around me but had the game in store for $13.99. They said I can order it in store from Bestbuy.com and have them match the price to the instore price. I believe this is a YMMV situation.

I loved this game decades ago but does it still hold up? My rose-tinted goggles may be foggy

As someone else posted, you can go in store and have them order it for 13.99 for you if it isn't in stock at your local store.

It's subjective, but if you like classic RPGs then it's great.

Secret of Mana, as part of this collection, is a masterpiece. But I can see how nostalgia would be making up for the gameplay at this point, it's an old game. Those that grew up with the game still see this as amazing to play and replay. For a brand new player...maybe less of an experience. Trials of Mana was equally great, just not to the same level as Secret of Mana because it came at the tail end of the SNES and the N64 had been announced and released the next year so fewer people experienced it.

They used to. I don't get why they stopped.

If you like Square RPG's from the 16 bit era, Secret of Mana is a MUST PLAY.

Trials of Mana seems better. I haven't managed to play all the way through it yet (I played a ROM with an unofficial English language translation 20ish years ago and have the Switch Remastered Version that I am about halfway through). It takes the engine and gameplay of Secret of Mana and adds a lot- like different prologue plots depending on which characters you chose, an epilogue with a new character, new game +, etc.

For a LONG time Trials of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 3) was a fabled game, the best of the Square RPGs that never saw a release outside of Japan.

I don't know much about the first game on Gameboy.

Also worth pointing out that both Secret of Mana and Trials of Mana have 3d remaster versions out. These versions are similar to the Nintendo Switch release of Link's Awakening in that they are using the 2d tile maps of the original game and converting them into 3D, so in both versions items are in the exact same place and you navigate the game world in the same way. You may prefer those versions if you aren't into sprite graphics.

I personally enjoy the Trials of Mana version, but the Secret of Mana remaster got not-great reviews- poor voice acting seems a big part of that.

Nobody outside of Japan really experienced Trials of Mana in the SNES era. It was never released and didn't have an English translation. A fan translation rom hack was made in 1999, and somehow I heard about it and played it around that time by emulation (and gave up on it due to a subpar controller setup).

Secret of Mana is like Link to the Past for me- a game that I find myself replaying every 2-3 years annd one of my fondest experiences from the SNES era. Great SNES pixel art, even better music, an engaging plot, more fun to play than the turn based Final Fantasy games.

But you are right, if you didn't grow up with it and are going back in time, you may certainly find both Secret and Trials less engaging.
