Tempest Rising is the spiritual successor to old school Command & Conquer games that even the franchise itself couldn't recreate. It looks and sounds absolutely fantastic and, with two memorable story campaigns and deep and challenging strategy gameplay, it's the perfect example of what a modern RTS should look like.
Tempest Rising is exactly what it promised to be: a love letter to the real-time strategy games of the 1990s, and in particular to the Command & Conquer series. Everything, from gameplay to mission design, from the soundtrack to the units, takes us back to the glory of the Westwood Studios series. Of course, some elements can still be improved, and we are waiting for the third playable faction, but the premises for a series that can relaunch the genre are all there!

Tempest Rising might as well be one of the best strategy games of the year, where the release calendar does look to have a lot of strategy games on the horizon. This is definitely a game that’s worth a buy for anyone who wanted a Zero Hour 2 to be made by Electronic Arts for the Command and Conquer franchise. This is also worth a buy for casuals wanting to check out a new RTS game on their slightly new PC/laptop.
While Tempest Rising may not reinvent the genre, it provides a strong foundation that helps shape it for future iterations.
A loving homage to classic Command & Conquer, Tempest Rising's single-player campaign brings back the fast-paced RTS gameplay but can't quite recapture the campy vibe
Unashamedly retro in spirit yet modern where it counts, Tempest Rising is a riveting flashback to the halcyon days of the RTS.
Developer Slipgate Ironworks provided an experience that nobody knew they actually wanted and this is perfectly modernizing an old formula
Tempest Rising comes at a great time, with few classic-type RTS games making an appearance. Tempest Rising easily recreates the fun of those early games and their addictive mechanics. At the same time, it looks and runs like a current title. Two impressive campaigns and the potential for endless enjoyment via skirmishes equals an impressive and exciting return to a regretfully absent genre.
Let's party like it's 1998! Tempest Rising brings us back all the right memories of Command & Conquer, and it's a lot of fun at an adrenaline-filled pace.

Tempest Rising is a classic RTS with a campaign, a spiritual successor to Command & Conquer that painstakingly remakes all things we know from the past. It won’t make the publishers want to give us more games like this, but it is like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy sky above RTS land. One that will make fans of C&C smile.

Tempest Rising is finally an RTS that will appeal to both veterans and younger players. It offers a very pleasant compromise between classic gameplay and modern processing. Don't expect a lot of originality, but there's no shortage of fun.

Tempest Rising is clearly inspired by the good old RTS days of the 90s and early 2000s, but it has so many unique features and high-quality additions that makes this game feel original and innovative.
This game is a great homage to the RTS of the 90s. Therefore, it is not a cheap copy or anything like that, having its own personality and, most importantly, the charm of an excellent strategy game.

Tempest Rising is definitely the heir to the vacant RTS throne left by Command & Conquer. While a bit more boldness would have been welcome, the game perfectly captures the nostalgic feeling.
