Remastered....

In my ongoing installed games clear-out two more long-term titles are staying. Time to mention some remasters.

Remasters rarely hit the marks of both being as good as the game they 'rework' and still add to those games in meaningful ways; To enhance and not take away from the old. A troubled modern reworked 'remastered' game I had interest in was of the classic Blade Runner game "Blade Runner - Enhanced Edition".... From all I've read and heard it's much better to stay with the original( it 'may' take more than one patch to make it right). Time will tell on that one, but for now it's best to avoid or get the original....

Of the best remasters done in recent years; Two come to mind straight away:

Total War ROME - REMASTERED....

I've gushed previously on posts for the original and remaster(here and here). So it's not surprise I'd list it here as a recommendation. If you were into the original or into other Total war games then the remaster is the best version of Rome to get. As always each to their own, not all Total War games are for everyone.

Command & Conquer Remastered Collection....

As with Rome Total War I've gushed in many posts about Command & Conquer over the years. The remaster of the original C&C and Red Alert is a similar jaw dropping iteration. If you've played them previously then the remasters are the way to go now.(my previous waffle here and here). While not a remaster I play as much as Rome it's one I'll be pottering away with long, long-term.
