I BEARly have time for reviews, because my life is PANDAmonium.
It is so unBEARable, from BEARing it all; that I went BEARzerk.

However, I am not emBEARassed to give BEARsona a PAWsitive mark!

BEAR!

This seems to me a low-effort attempt to generate revenue that they thought would knock it out of the park. Unfortunately, this is how most remasters go now-a-days.

Which sucks because anything related to producing any kind of game requires grueling amount of work and effort by many people involved, which compounds the disappointed us fans feel in receiving a bad product and having to put out a negative review.

Instead of producing either an inspired updated game with lots of love for the original or at least a 1-for-1 update to a modern systems; we get an ugly, uninspired, foggy remembrance of RTW. Resulting in just a cheap knock-off that makes you wanting more.

The new look(s) of the game are (at least to my eyes) abysmal and tonally clashing. The U.I. is objectively worse at communicating vital information which the original did better. The game runs smoothly but is hard to look at and seems blurry; It actually feels a little like the Warscape engine which the rest of the games from ETW and on run on. The audio cues seem off and out of sync, and I am not sure but the speeches seem rerecorded producing a less effective impact then they used to. In general I would say the visuals are streamlined, simple, and simplified from the original.
