The verdict
A faithful, polished remaster of two 90s RTS classics with great music and switchable graphics, but the dated unit AI and pathfinding remain. Skip it if you lack nostalgia.
Great for
Nostalgic C&C fans and RTS history buffs who accept 90s mechanics, especially on sale
Main risk
Dated unit AI, pathfinding and controls frustrate anyone without nostalgia for the originals
