How this score was computed
The VGC Score is a weighted blend on a press-comparable 0-100 quality scale. Steam approval rates are first calibrated (95% positive on Steam ≈ 89.5 quality, since Steam approval skews high). Press and tracked creator reviews each count ~2x a player review and share one cap against player evidence (creator buy/skip calls pool into an approval rate, calibrated like Steam approval); all-time sentiment is capped and halved (it's context, not verdict); reviews of the current build carry the most weight when a fresh patch anchors the window; and a 'typical game' prior keeps small samples from pegging the scale. Because press reviews and Metacritic user aggregates describe the launch build, their weight decays as the game ages (3-year half-life after a 1-year grace). That's how a game that launched rough can outgrow its old reception once updates win players over. Reviews under 2h playtime (the refund window), non-Steam activations, and free copies are downweighted.

“Command & Conquer Remastered Collection is a great gift for fans of the genre. Despite a number of problems, we support the initiative and hope that the publisher will decide to rerelease the remaining parts of the series.”

“There it is! A nearly perfect remaster that will please as the old school gamers either the newcomers to the C&C series.”

“Minor quibbles aside, such as the lack of an attack move option, Command & Conquer Remastered is not only an amazing remaster by its own merits, but also a great reminder that simplicity in strategy games can sometimes be paramount if we want the genre to grow. Tactical victories and complex mechanics have its space in the genre, but we do need a more direct route for a bigger audience. It’s ironic that a game from 1995 does it better than most newer releases.”

“Command & Conquer Remastered Collection really breathes new life into the series, even if it’s just wrapping up its two oldest games in modern clothing. It reminds players of exactly what they fell in love with about Command & Conquer, with fun, challenging missions, goofy FMV’s and awesome music.”

“Welcome back to the golden age of RTS with one of its best franchises. There is enough content for the whole lifetime but there are very little improvements in its core.”

“Westwood Studio had created a masterpiece 25 years ago, which evolves RTS game deeply.With some polishing, C&C is still full of fun but mainly enjoyable for series fans.”

“The Command & Conquer Remastered Collection does the job, but nothing more. If you are looking for a quick nostalgia-trip, you won't regret it. Because of the outdated gameplay and the hardly restorable cutscenes, people who never played the original games won't get the right experience out of this collection.”

“Command and Conquer Remastered Collection is an excellent effort and the definitive version of these games, but these games feel every second of their age.”

“In the end there is inherent value in a release like this, particularly from a preservation standpoint. And truth be told, playing through each campaign on the easier difficulty settings allows for the enjoyment of often cheesy but ultimately engaging b-movie stories being told to take centre-stage.”
