Command & Conquer Remastered

[MasterCrane]

EA decided to remake and remaster Command and Conquer. It was announced in 2018 and released in 2020. I was pretty excited to play this because way back in the 90s, I had a lot of fun with this game. The graphical improvements are terrific and the gameplay is very much the same with some decent gameplay improvements. My number one gripe about this game is that the pathfinding abilities of your units are still pretty lacking and they make bizarre choices and easily get lost or become stuck. Other than that, I have enjoyed the heck out of the game and have already completed the GDI and NOD missions on Medium and most of the GDI missions on HARD. Definitely worth trying if you were a fan of the original game or 2D RTS games in general. I've played some Red Alert but haven't gotten through all the missions yet.

Presentation 8/10 When you start the game, you're presented with this neat upgrade video that pretends to upgrade the game with better graphics and sound. Pretty cool idea. The menus and everything are largely unchanged design-wise and just look more clear. Everything is mostly the same idea but you know, really really pretty. This is not a bad thing.

Graphics 8/10 For what it is, it's really a 10/10 but if we're unfairly comparing it to todays graphics, I would still give it an 8/10 for very pretty sprite graphics.

Music 10/10 Love it, so iconic and the remastered versions of the songs really take me back.

Gameplay 7/10 Decent play controls but some finicky bits and weird pathfinding quirks prevent this score from being higher.

Replay Value 8.5/10 I'm still playing it now. Not really getting bored of it. Highly addictive gameplay.

Overall, I give this game a solid 8.5/10 Not an average, bwa-haha.
