    StarCraft Remastered is a fun blast from the past, but it’s hard not to notice how much games have evolved since 1998. [12/2017, p.53]

    StarCraft: Remastered admittedly targets to esport. While for professional players it is almost perfect, for ordinary people it is a half-baked remaster of once great game, which is not so good to play today.

    Starcraft: Remastered is a great but somewhat superfluous upgrade with the original game still being supported and free to play at that. Still it´s hard to fault anyone for wanting to enjoy this versions upgraded sound and graphics since the price point is so low. Starcraft is still fantastic but the remaster it´s more of a thing for pros and nostalgia than for a new set of players.

    Buy it if you're still on the Brood War bandwagon. Try the free, old-school version if you're just curious how deep your nostalgia is for the game.

Blizzard deserve anWhat a time to be alive, Starcraft Remastered brings me back to late 90's where whe had goods RTS like we dont have today. Blizzard deserve an "A", kept the same gameplay, same environment, but starcraft 2 graphics for just 15 Euros, thats really cheap for a game with this fame (some DLCs are more expensive than that) and if you are not a English speakers (my case) you have a classic game in your mother language, awesome!!! 10/10
