If you don't already have a soft spot in your heart for this game because you played it back in the 90s, chances are you won't enjoy it. They did a great job with the whole remaster process but the game itself is clunky and frustrating by today's standards.

Many RTS actions were streamlined and made more intuitive in later C&C games, Starcraft, AoE, etc, but here they are extremely annoying and discouraging. Things such as wonky pathfinding, units not auto-attacking when you might expect them to, infantry loading into the carrier vehicles slowly one-by-one, Orca air units not being able to move into un-revealed sections of the map, and mandatory micromanagement that requires you to understand the quirks of the gameplay have led me to give up on many occasions.

The new "casual" difficulty turns the game into a non-challenge, which is suitable for those who just want to enjoy the goofy cutscenes and overall aesthetic/gameplay without any fear of losing. There's also a lot of strategy/balance stuff, such as which units to use in a given situation, that are not explained in cutscenes or in-game, requiring an outside guide to learn.

If you have the patience to work around these struggles for the sake of playing a historically significant game, pick up this collection, but if you're expecting a top-notch RTS experience, look elsewhere and pray for an RA2 remaster.

basically like taking a college class you dont understand. gas

Works great! Classic Quake 3 experience in a modern package. The multiplayer is active, but not booming since the release of quake champions. There's a few video settings that will completely screw up your graphics if you change them so watch out.

It's Sonic Kart. Great budget title. Runs just fine on my aging rig, xbox 360 controller supported out of the box.
