I was afraid that the overhauled graphics would have that distinctly bland “mobile game” quality to them, but this is absolutely not the case. The graphics have been overhauled and brought up to high definition without losing the details or charm of the original. On the remaster front, just about every improvement possible has been incorporated. There’s even more maps to use in skirmish or multiplayer modes, and a map editor if that still isn’t enough. All told, there are about a hundred single-player missions across the two games to take part in. Everything’s collected in a convenient Mission Select option, so you can jump in at any point you’ve reached to try out branching paths.

All the campaigns, expansions, secret missions, and console port exclusive content is present and correct. Included in the collection is every bit of official content created for every version of Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert.

Thankfully, this is not Warcraft 3 Reforged the teams at Petroglyph, Lemon Sky, and EA have gone above and beyond to make this the definitive version of these classic games. If nothing else, Command and Conquer Remastered could have simply provided a new coat of paint with official multiplayer servers and called it a day. Both games featured in this collection have been freeware for a long time, and multiplayer matches are still played via open source ports such as OpenRA.
