Command & Conquer Remastered Collection Reviews
If you missed out on the original Command & Conquer or just miss playing these old classics, I would completely recommend picking up the Remastered Collection.
The granddaddy of the real-time strategy genre returns with the original two games straight from the ‘90s. Armed with cheesy FMV sequences and a doggedly faithful recreation of every nook, cranny and wart, all wrapped up nicely with a textural coat of military-grade paint (up to 4K resolution), classic Command & Conquer is back.
Command and Conquer Remastered Collection is a strong return to form for the franchise even if it doesn't meet all the criteria that gamers have to come expect from remastered games.
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 Because of the outdated gameplay and the hardly restorable cutscenes, people who never played the original games won't get the right experience out of this collection.

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

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 applies updates that make its content feel fresh, but the same can't be said for all its mechanics.
Despite its issues though, Command & Conquer Remastered Collection provides an excellent trip down memory lane – even if it is one that reminds us of how far videogames have come in the last 25 years. The real-time strategy might have moved on, but the Command & Conquer games still have a unique charm all of their own. Command & Conquer Remastered Collection certainly won’t win over any newcomers, but it makes for a commendable slice of nostalgia for those of us who grew up playing the games.
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.

“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”
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.
If you're a fan of the core dated gameplay within C&C:TD or Red Alert, the QoL content spread across C&C:RC is for you: the vocal, 25-years-later contingent of Westwood's RTS roots, who arguably favor the military stylings and '90s-rock bombast of the series' first two games over the insane balance and actions-per-minute madness of StarCraft or WarCraft III: The Frozen Throne.
It’s as close to a perfect restoration as you’ll get, and the treatment these genre-defining games deserve.
