    Overall, Although it is a remaster version, the game is too old to enjoy in 2021.

    - Remastered game, but no Rally point? Really? - Ai pathfinding is just a mess. Units move around and die easily each time. This is a very annoying experience. - Game missions are too easy or hard; did you enjoy mission of Nod 8? I gave it up, these challenges give someone fun but not me. - Story has

    - Remastered game, but no Rally point? Really?
    - Ai pathfinding is just a mess. Units move around and die easily each time. This is a very annoying experience.
    - Game missions are too easy or hard; did you enjoy mission of Nod 8? I gave it up, these challenges give someone fun but not me.
    - Story has nothing interesting. Follow orders. Kill someone. Someone dies... blah blah... provides no knowledge of the background of the game. I would have played hard as a member of Nod's brother if they provided the story, at least in text.
    - The speed at which resources are depleted on the map is too fast. Give me time to think about strategy, In this remastered version, resources have become very slow to regenerate. WTF?
    - It's very hard to build a multi-base like StarCraft. However, Harvester, the only hope, is a slow and expensive stupid unit.
    - AI cheats a lot even in Normal difficulty; I've never seen AI cheat in an AOE series or StarCraft, WarCraft series. At least I never felt that way at a difficulty similar to Normal.

    In my opinion this is only for old c&c fans, for the people, that can handle the "dumb" A.I. I never had bugs or frame drops (Gtx 970). The cut scenes and the game looks nice, the switch for "original" and "remaster" view s also a nice gimmick. The bonus gallery is a nice behind the scenes, it shows the actors and some deleted scenes.

    Great remastering of classic 90s RTS. Works great and there's still people playing online!

    This is a prime example of what a remaster has to be like. Every aspect of the old games has been improved (without changing the original flair of the game). And even on release it had a fair price tag.

    While adding remastered graphics and a modern UI, Remastered Collection avoided dealing with 20-year old shortcomings of the original game, like poor pathfinding for infantry and harvesters, for instance. On the other hand, these flaws will definitely make your missions much more exciting on higher difficulty settings.

    Command & Conquer Remastered Collection is a great gift for fans of the genre. Despite a number of problems, we support the initiative and hope that the publisher will decide to re-release the remaining parts of the series.

    C&C was difficult not because of good AI or interesting tactical puzzles, but due to poor usability. With modernized interface, it’s a walk in the park, and will be enjoyable only as long as nostalgia lasts. [Issue#247, p.44]
