Command & Conquer Remastered Collection Reviews
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...
Command & Conquer Remastered Collection makes a classic nice and shiny.
EA's 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.
Welcome back to the golden age of RTS with one of its best franchises. There is enough content for the whole lifetime but there are very little improvements in its core.

Command and Conquer Remastered Collection is an excellent effort and the definitive version of these games, but these games feel every second of their age.
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.
“Command and Conquer is back in a big way in this lovingly remastered version that is bound to keep fans happy and hopefully fuel desire for new entries in the franchise”
In the end there is inherent value in a release like this, particularly from a preservation standpoint. And truth be told, playing through each campaign on the easier difficulty settings allows for the enjoyment of often cheesy but ultimately engaging b-movie stories being told to take centre-stage.
It’s as close to a perfect restoration as you’ll get, and the treatment these genre-defining games deserve.
The Command & Conquer Remastered Collection does the job, but nothing more. If you are looking for a quick nostalgia-trip, you won't regret it. Because of the outdated gameplay and the hardly restorable cutscenes, people who never played the original games won't get the right experience out of this collection.

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.
The Command & Conquer Remastered Collection is a love letter to Westwood’s classic titles, and it’s well worth the asking price, whether you are already a fan of the franchise or not.
An incredible experience, Command & Conquer Remastered Collection leverages on nostalgia and delivers on all fronts, especially if you are a big fan of the series in the first place.
Command and Conquer Remastered Collection offers hours of entertainment — I didn’t even get to multiplayer in this review process — for a very reasonable price
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.

This is a respectful but surprisingly full-featured dive back into the world of Command and Conquer, and I can only hope EA greenlights this sort of treatment for more of its games.
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.

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.
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.
