Jan 25, 2020Comandos is back with a solid remaster that allows us to enjoy this fantastic classic. There are some questionable choices, but the experience remains almost intact.
-
Feb 25, 2020If you’re a fan of the series, you want to support the HD Remaster, but at the same time it’s had a rough go out of the gates that might give you pause. I’d recommend keeping an eye on this one and seeing what develops, but RTS fans should definitely make it a point to play this series if they haven’t yet.

Jan 27, 2020Commandos 2: HD Remaster graphically upgrades a beloved tactical classic and gives a fresh coat of paint to a fairly obtuse set of controls. While it is shipping with a few bugs, all of the pieces that made this game a classic are present and accounted for. With just a little more polish we’ll be able to “Consider it done, boss”.
-
Jan 24, 2020The mechanics are still compelling and seem undestructable. There are only slight technical improvements to the remaster, controls are still a nuisance.
-
Feb 20, 2020Despite the successful attempt at reimaging a classic, Commandos 2: HD has been delivered with a considerable number of bugs and performance issues. We also find the decision to remove all references to Nazism and Nationalist symbols an insult to the game's heritage and the WWII victims' memory. Quite honestly what does the game justice is its timeless gameplay.
-
Feb 2, 2020Although the game is still fun, the updates in the remaster, when compared to the original, are just not enough. This is especially evident when looking at the controls, which have only been marginally optimized. It is also quite hard to keep an overview when there’s a lot going on and the original’s multiplayer mode is missing. If the developers are willing to upgrade the game via patches, we might be willing to give it a second chance.

Jan 24, 2020Commandos 2 HD Remaster is a good nostalgic operation that gives a masterpiece a new coat of paint, but still retains the horrible interface that we used to forgive back in the days.
-
Jan 24, 2020In terms of content and challenge level Commandos 2 still is a great experience. But as a remaster it would have benefited from a more coherent modernization.
-
Feb 18, 2020Commandos 2 – HD Remaster is still very much the same game from nineteen years ago but sadly, it has not aged well. The release of this HD remaster is clearly premature and only time will tell if it can be saved. However, I do admit that the game isn’t unplayable and if you’re willing to look past some of the issues, Commandos 2 is still a fun and challenging game.

Apr 2, 2020Commandos 2 HD has had a fresh lick of paint and a nice polish but that's about it. It would have been nice to bring something new to the table in terms additional missions or new commandos. In today's world of video games, It just does not hold up against its peers. I do look forward to the planned 3rd installment they have mentioned. This is also due out on consoles in spring 2020 and hopefully, this title will have more modern bells and whistles attached to make it more appealing.

CD-ActionFeb 18, 2020It should have been a remaster but it actually is just polishing an old junk. Ineptly. [03/2020, p.76]

LEVEL (Czech Republic)Feb 28, 2020The remaster of the famous game didn´t meet expectations, despite having a few bright spots. This is a very bad remake of a very good game. [Issue#301]
-
Feb 28, 2020Less content. Censorship. Broken promises. Achtung! Do not touch this heresy.
-
Feb 4, 2020Aside from the graphics that give a quality-of-life boon on modern rigs, there's little else about this remaster that excites or even excels.
-
Jan 30, 2020Commandos 2 HD is a poor remaster of a great game, falling short in almost every way. Graphic inconsistencies and inaccurate controls ruin the experience of playing it for hours.

Jan 31, 2020Kalypso and Yippee seem determined to banish memories of the ropey release build (As I type this, my install is being modified by a fresh 1GB patch – 1.08) as quickly as they can. If they stay the course and keep delivering fixes at the current rate, by March, Commandos 2 HD Remaster could be entirely error free. I’m reasonably confident the repairs will be completed satisfactorily. Whether Pyro’s masterpiece will ever get back the minuscule black crosses and red circles, it wore, without controversy, for nigh-on twenty years, remains to be seen.
-
Feb 12, 2020A bad remaster of a good game that recreates old mistakes while adding loads of new glitches.
