A well made remake that often feels like a loving tribute to the originals. There’s tons of care put into the presentation. I love the COs animations; WayForward accomplished a lot with a little in that respect.

After finishing the first ending of AW1, and getting two thirds through the second campaign, I’m finding myself unexcited to keep playing. The missions of Black Hole Rising are generally improvements over the original, they just get too long and can feel like a grind.

I may return and either persevere or tweak the difficulty but I currently feel like I had my fun with the game.
