Command & Conquer Remastered Collection Reviews
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 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.
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.
The Command & Conquer Remastered Collection is a surprisingly great game that, with the added benefit of getting two for the price of one, also includes a bevvy of improvements, new support, and multiplayer options.
Command & Conquer Remastered Collection really breathes new life into the series, even if it’s just wrapping up its two oldest games in modern clothing. It reminds players of exactly what they fell in love with about Command & Conquer, with fun, challenging missions, goofy FMV’s and awesome music.
Minor quibbles aside — such as the lack of an attack move option — Command & Conquer Remastered is not only an amazing remaster by its own merits, but also a great reminder that simplicity in strategy games can sometimes be paramount if we want the genre to grow. Tactical victories and complex mechanics have its space in the genre, but we do need a more direct route for a bigger audience. It’s ironic that a game from 1995 does it better than most newer releases.

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.
Command & Conquer Remastered Collection shows the whole industry how to do these things. It 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.
“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”
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 Because of the outdated gameplay and the hardly restorable cutscenes, people who never played the original games won't get the right experience out of this collection.

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.
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.
