The "generally favorable reviews" so far.Here's what some of the critics had to say:
The original Command & Conquer might be almost 25 years old by now, but its signature fast-paced strategic gameplay hasn’t aged a day. Remastered does exactly what modern-era collections should, offering old-school action with modern-day fidelity and loads of extras. This is a perfect example of remasters done right: The original gameplay remains intact, the upgraded presentation is flawless, and the added bonuses are tremendous. Put simply, your favorite Command & Conquer games are back and better than ever.

One can argue about the dusty gameplay and some lack of comfort, but these are concessions to the community that wished for "their" old C&C.
