Undoubtedly one of the best if not THE BEST modern video game remaster out there. I will summarize the pros and cons of this remaster into the following:

The Good:

- Totally seamless transition into the new modern 4K visual from the old classic Win95 at a push of a key
- Extremely faithful to the original titles (some might say that it is perhaps TOO faithful)
- Game "installation" screen when you first boot up for both Tiberium Dawn and Red Alert is filled with God tier nostalgia
- New UI with a complete revamp of the sidebar complete with higher quality artwork that totally feels in place
- Plethora of never-before-seen bonus contents including exclusive missions and cinematic cutscenes for Tiberium Dawn and Red Alert that was only available on certain console platforms
- You can queue multiple units while in production now
- New multiplayer features and service is great. Finally you can now play 1v1 ranked and spectate any previous matches that was played including spectating ongoing games in the lobby
- You can add, remove and create your very own custom music tracks in-game for both Tiberium Dawn and Red Alert however you want
- All of Frank Klepacki's overly iconic classical and remixed tracks are here including various modern remixed that was composed solely for this remastered collection!!!

The Bad:

- Minor bugs (though not a real dealbreaker)
- The gameplay meta among factions/units remains as unbalanced as ever. Kinda of a tradeoff for being too faithful to the original titles
- Multiplayer is still officially limited to a maximum of 4 players total per map in Tiberium Dawn, while in Red Alert the limit is a maximum of 8 players total
- FMV cutscenes are all still heavily compressed in SD resolution extracted from the Playstation home console version and further artificially enhanced via AI upscaling due to the fact that the original master footage tapes for both Tiberium Dawn and Red Alert are still yet to be found

The Kinda Ugly:

- Certain mission on hard difficulty are completely unbalanced. This is already another insult to injury as the AI blatantly cheats when it comes to resource procurement and unit build time. The fault of a clear lack of playtesting

SimCity meets Tropico ( or pretty much any colony/metropolis/city/town/village builder).

One of the best, if not THE BEST title that Telltale have worked on thus far.

Drama, horror, action, comedy, thriller, mystery and of course ZOMBIES. This game just tick all the right checkboxes when it comes to an excellent post-apocalyptic/survival zombie flick.
