Press Quotes

“A loving tribute to a genre milestone. The Command and Conquer Remastered package does exactly what it needs to do for fans of the classic real-time strategy game, which is exactly what a classic of this stature deserves.” Polygon “One of the most definitive remaster packages to date” VG247 “Command and Conquer Remastered is one of the best modernisation efforts I have ever seen. A stone-cold classic that now holds its own against modern strategy games.” Eurogamer
