Command & Conquer Remastered Collection

9/10

At its core, the game just feels great to play, and that's a small detail that a lot of nearly great games miss out on. The remaster polishes almost every system, while somehow leaving the soul of the game perfectly intact. Both longtime fans and first-time commanders would do well to give this one a shot.

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.

My first introduction to Real Time Strategy (RTS) games was 1992s – Dune II. Any limitations of PC technology at the time were overcome by my imagination fueled by Frank Herbert’s novels. Having cut their teeth with RTS, developer Westwood Studios then turned their attention to creating a wholly new RTS property and in 1995, they launched the Command and Conquer (C&C) series. The C&C series used gameplay elements from Dune II and expanded on terrain elements, no longer restricted to the deserts of Dune and included the use of Full Motion Video (FMV) segments, albeit ones severely limited in th...

Command & Conquer Remastered Collection is a real-time strategy game developed by Petroglyph Games and Lemon Sky Studios, published by EA.

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…

25 years later, does the first modern RTS still hold up?

I didn’t have a PC growing up, so I was a frequent visitor to my friend Ryan’s house. He and I would spend hours in front of his Pentium II, playing games. It wasn’t my PC of course, so I ended up playing what games he had. While that worked in my favour in many ways, especially in the case of Star Trek The Next Generation: A Final Unity, the arrangement also meant I was trying out things I likely wouldn’t have otherwise. That’s precisely how I was introduced to Command & Conquer an...

It has been 25 years since the release of Command and Conquer, one of the most influential strategy series in gaming history. Today we look at an HD remaster of the two games that started it all for this franchise. The wait is finally over, Welcome Back Commander.

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.

The Command & Conquer Remastered Collection is here and it is better than ever!

It’s as close to a perfect restoration of two genre-defining real-time strategy games as you’ll get - but the soporific effects of nostalgia do eventually begin to wear thin.
