Strategy Game Remasters: Are They Worth It?
In this episode of Critical Moves, we dive into the world of strategy game remasters. We break down how these re-releases breathe new life into classic games and discuss whether they hold up against their original versions. Key topics include:
- What makes a good remaster and where some fall short.
- Examples like Command & Conquer Remastered and Age of Empires: Definitive Edition—whether they’re just nostalgia plays or genuinely modernized for today’s audience.
- Our thoughts on which strategy games we’d like to see remastered next and how developers are responding to fan demand.
We also cover how remasters can help introduce a new generation to the classics while still satisfying long-time fans of the genre. As usual, we throw in a few rants, differing perspectives, and some strong opinions on remasters versus original releases.
