This remaster is a winner. It’s a stellar package, and hopefully a template for what is to come. The minor shortcomings are all due to the age of this title – but this is an old game. You have to take it for what it is – a glorious little piece of history. In presenting that, this is a practically flawless release – but the old-fashioned, less friendly design in places will mean this one isn’t quite for everyone.

Minor AI and control gripes aside, all of which are simply a testament to the times and absolutely manageable to work with, this Remaster is a gem and I really hope it’s just a sign of things to come as more C&C games get remastered with this level of passion, community involvement, skill, and heart.

Remastered Collection is a great example of how I would like all remastered version to be made.

Command & Conquer Remastered isn't just the best way to replay these classic RTS', it's one of the best and most consumer-friendly remasters ever made. Welcome back, Commander.

A wonderful remaster of two masterpieces. This remastered collection of Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert is a love letter to the classics that you need to play whether you are a veteran or a new gamer that wants to try a rejuvenated classic.

These games often feel their age, but their genius shines through, especially in this polished package. This is one of the best remasters around, and an easy recommendation for the nostalgic or the curious.

C&C Remastered Collection combines two milestone games of the history of the RTS genre in a very elegant package. Graphical updates, lots of Easter eggs and extra content that is first time available (console missions) to the PC platform. This is how remastered editions should be done.

Command & Conquer Remastered Collection is an example of how to do things right. In addition to improved graphics and audio, Petroglyph Games has introduced a new control system, many extras, collectibles and game modes.

Command & Conquer Remastered Collection is the gold standard for what a blast from the past should and can be, as Petroglyph’s efforts have resulted in a handsome and hefty package of classic strategy, passion and modern-day improvements.

There’s a lot to love in this remaster. Eclipsing the 2012’s “Ultimate” edition, this version may not contain all of the sequels, but damn if it doesn’t make the originals truly fantastic. It might be too much to hope for a complete remaster of all of the sequels, but Command & Conquer Remastered is pure fan service. Welcome back, Commander.

This is a fantastic remaster that captures the spirit of the original and clothes it in wonderfully remade graphics. It also adds new features and other bonuses. This is a way to do it.

To say EA went above and beyond the call of duty in bringing the C&C series up to today’s standards and extending the accessibility and playability of the game while keeping the original character of the game intact, is an understatement. Their reverent approach to this remaster is not only visible on the screen but behind the scenes too. Involving the community and involving creative talents behind the scenes show the care and commitment taken here.

Command & Conquer Remastered Collection is, simply put, an amazing value for money at only $19.99. Containing two legendary strategy games that have been masterfully touched up, looking great and also including the ability to see the old view for comparison, the games have also been touched up with new modern features as and when required, without sacrificing what made the games the iconic titles that they are. There are ever so slight issues with pathfinding at times and the difficulty can ramp up at an insane level, with the AI almost seeming like it's cheating, but overall this is the best remaster I've ever had the pleasure of playing and one that I can't help but recommend to anybody and everybody, even those brand new to the series.

Command & Conquer: The Remastered Collection gathers up every conceivable ounce of content from the first two games in the series and gives it a full makeover, resulting in a collection that feels holistic, modern, and true to its roots. It has some wrinkles that add an asterisk, but only just that much. This is Command & Conquer, not just how you remember it back then, but how you'll want to remember it years from now.

The original Command & Conquer might be almost 25 years old by now, but its signature fast-paced strategic gameplay hasn’t aged a day. Remastered does exactly what modern-era collections should, offering old-school action with modern-day fidelity and loads of extras. This is a perfect example of remasters done right: The original gameplay remains intact, the upgraded presentation is flawless, and the added bonuses are tremendous. Put simply, your favorite Command & Conquer games are back and better than ever.

Most people thought this series' best days were behind it. But the Command & Conquer Remastered Collection is a well-crafted ode to a titan of the RTS genre and the community that's loved it for the better part of 25 years.

Command & Conquer Remastered Collection pays homage to every aspect of the old titles while bringing them into the 21st century. A must-have for anyone remotely interested in the series.

The Command & Conquer saga was crying out for a remastering and is finally in our hands. A reissue of the classic RTS where the possibilities and hours of fun seem endless under a careful interface and a perfect regression to a saga that already has twenty-five years behind it.

EA and Petroglyph Games have created something truly incredible for fans of the series and the RTS genre.

This is hands-down one of the best remasters we have seen to date. With an incredible attention to detail on all levels and a general design vibe that is oozing respect to the original material, EA has delivered the most honest and well crafted game they have released in more than a decade.

The same games, 25 years later. You have grown old, they have too.

As a remaster, this is as good as they can possibly get. As a game to be played in 2020, it still stands up pretty well, and its raw gameplay is so distant from today’s standards that it feels like a breath of fresh air.

Command And Conquer Remastered is a release for the fans with lots of community input that helped piece together this fantastic collection. There’s lots of content to dive into and lots of bonuses included. It's a remaster done right for a game and series-long forgotten. Welcome back, commander.

Command & Conquer Remastered Collection manages and compensates to the millimeter each of the euros that its acquisition costs. And wins a glorious battle with weapons of all kinds. It is the most comfortable, complete, accessible and colorful way to approach a cult saga whose first games represent some of the best RTS in history. And the war will be long. With mods, maps, multiplayer, extras ...

Over a hundred hours of gameplay that actually passed the test of time perfectly. That is what you will get in Command & Conquer Remastered. The cutscenes aren't amazing, but the bonus material is. Welcome back to the glorious times of real-time strategy.

Enormous content, great fanservice and a lot of attention to detail: The Command & Conquer Remastered Collection is a prime example for what a remaster should offer.

Pay attention, Blizzard: the Command & Conquer Remastered Collection is how you bring a classic RTS to the present! Full of improvements, fan service and respect for the source material. Of course, the games themselves feel a bit simple in 2020, but the CGI videos are just as brilliant as before. And that for less than 20 euros.

What all of this boils down to is that Command and Conquer and Red Alert were both great games upon their original release and that holds true to this day. Sure there could have been a few quality of life improvements made but there is no denying that EA has done a great job of breathing life into the classic property and reminding old fans why they fell in love with the franchise in the first place.

Two of the best remasters ever made, as after years of neglect the Command & Conquer franchise finally gets the tender loving care it deserves.

Command and Conquer Remastered raises the bar for remasters. This is the definitive way to play these RTS classics, and they still hold up decades later.

For oldies like me, this is a brilliant hit of nostalgia that doesn’t ruin my original, warm feelings about the games it brings to today. For younger fans of the RTS genre who haven’t delved this far back in time, now’s your chance — just be prepared for some (good) bad CGI and FMV.

This remaster collection turns out to be a lovingly restored new edition, with which strategy fans of the old school in particular should be happy. One can argue about the dusty gameplay and some lack of comfort, but these are concessions to the community that wished for "their" old C&C.

Even if some technical aspects of the game stop it from being really great, the C&C remastered collection has a lot to offer, especially if you're fans of the original games.

A true Multimedia Age pioneer the Command & Conquer Remastered Collection might feature a dated and creaky core, but the package is ultimately triumphant. And that’s the truth. From God, to Kane, to Seth, to you.

Command and Conquer Remastered Collection is not a remake or reboot, but instead makes the original games — two of the all time classic RTS titles — accessible to gamers that might be turned away by 25-year-old graphics and clunky controls. The Remastered Collection looks and sounds as great now as you probably thought it did then, when your unjaded imagination allowed you to render a stack of blurry sprites into a fully animated super soldier. Command and Conquer was fun in 1995 and thanks to this new edition, what made it great still shines through.

I cherish the memory of playing Command & Conquer 25 years ago, and yet was surprised to find myself getting frustrated at the slog of completing some of the missions in the first game's campaign. But, given the choice, I still wouldn't change a thing about this remaster.

Command & Conquer Remastered Collection is a masterclass in how to re-energise a classic title. There's no denying that the 25-year-old gameplay doesn't quite hold up to its modern contemporaries, but with over 100 missions, progressive options, revamped multiplayer, and full mod support, C&C Remastered is both a solid package and a proud testament to Westwood Studios' genre-defining work. Now, about Red Alert 2...

For those looking for something that symbolizes how far the industry has come, Command & Conquer Remaster Collection can serve as that reminder. Retro graphics and audio components don’t detract from the experience. Indeed, they enhance it, highlighting the artistic choice of its developers in a time when 3D titles were still in their infancy. The game is worth experiencing for everyone.

A great way to experience two of the games that defined real-time strategy in the 90s.

A long-deserved remaster of two very classic games, but there’s still some bugs to work out.

Command & Conquer Remastered Collection is a great gift for fans of the genre. Despite a number of problems, we support the initiative and hope that the publisher will decide to re-release the remaining parts of the series.

By modern standards, the Command & Conquer Remastered Collection is far from perfect, but without these games, modern standards wouldn't exist

Westwood Studio had created a masterpiece 25 years ago, which evolves the RTS game deeply. With some polishing, C&C is still full of fun but mainly enjoyable for series fans.

I have to admit, this is amazing value for money. I'm slightly dismayed by the bugs that are present, and I feel they should have updated some of the mechanics of the original games, but ultimately, Command and Conquer Remastered sets the bar against which future remaster projects will be measured. If you need one line to sum up this entire article, here it is. Mission Accomplished.

The Remaster is a joy for C&C Veterans, but delivers less than it could in almost every respect.

Command & Conquer Remastered Collection is a great makeover of 2 cult games by fans, for fans. You can feel the love of the developers, old and new, as they offer all the vintage experience to modern gamers, with serious comfort gains and many options to adapt it to different player profiles. All this without compromising the vintage gameplay or its difficulty, and with better music than ever before. On the other hand, however, it might discourage many players with its outdated graphics, its peculiar old TV movie humor, its pixelated cinematics and its punishing gameplay.

Command & Conquer Remastered Collection is a splendid coat of paint on two old masterpieces. You will have fun remembering the old times and watching the absurd videos, but the gameplay is stale and its age clearly shows itself.

Despite its issues, Command & Conquer Remastered Collection provides an excellent trip down memory lane.

Petroglyph Games and Lemon Sky Studios did a more than acceptable work in both the graphic and sound aspects of this remastered, polishing even the smallest detail and giving users the possibility to add content freely, where we will find an enormous amount of fresh stuff to try. We will, once again, put on our commander's uniform to solve international conflicts in the best warlike manner.

While adding remastered graphics and a modern UI, Remastered Collection avoided dealing with 20-year old shortcomings of the original game, like poor pathfinding for infantry and harvesters, for instance. On the other hand, these flaws will definitely make your missions much more exciting on higher difficulty settings.

Quotation forthcoming.

The Command and Conquer Remastered Collection looks great, it sounds great, and there's so much polished content to enjoy, including never-before-seen bonuses. But the dated core mechanics turn an otherwise intriguing strategy game into a sometimes unfair slog against a computer that will inherently have an easier time working around its own limitations. It's worth a play for fans of the franchise or RTS games in general, but newcomers might find there are a few too many cobwebs to overcome compared to contemporary offerings.

Command & Conquer Remastered Collection goes back to memory, with two of the most iconic games from the '90, but this operation only shows the evolution made by the RTS.

C&C was difficult not because of good AI or interesting tactical puzzles, but due to poor usability. With modernized interface, it’s a walk in the park, and will be enjoyable only as long as nostalgia lasts. [Issue#247, p.44]
