60 of 164 · most liked firstThe copious amounts of bugs, many of which still unfixed to this day, I can live with. But the censorship and historical revisionism cannot be excused. Which is a shame because beneath all that it’s still the best tactical game ever made. The upscaled graphics are really nice and the added controller support is much appreciated. And overall the game is playable and in much better state than when it launched. All of the bugs I’ve encountered were not particularly game breaking - mostly visual…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is such a waste of potential, the quality of this remaster is laughable, it feels amateurish asf. Updated interface is horrible, assets are upscaled very poorly and some are rather pixelated. Add to that the censorship, new bugs and basically zero additional quality of life features and you get this abomination. Its basically a low quality mod that you have to pay for and to be honest you are better off just buying original Commandos 2 and modding it using HD Project mod. Quality of this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Review after playing 2 tutorial missions, 2 bonus missions, and 2 normal missions. This game is filled with bugs — and unfortunately, there are far more bugs than in the original version. The remaster feels rushed and is also heavily censored, which hurts the overall experience. Pros: +Steam achievements (if you care about completing them), +Improved graphics. Cons: -Even more bugs than the original game, -Censored historical symbols, -Broken inventory system. Some objects can be placed on…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short version + Commandos 2 is a great game + What it says on the tin - HD remake - The style of the remade graphics - Censorship - BUGS Long version While the game of Commandos 2 is absolutely great and probably the single best entry in the Commandos franchise, this HD remake is a bit questionable in value to say the least. Starting off with the meat and potatoes - the "HD remake" side of things. The pre-rendered backgrounds are sharper than the originals, but honestly kind of seem…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's censored, filled with bugs and you can't even change keybindings... Waste of money and time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game has some bugs, But these two struck me as the most serious. - When you use headphones, there is a problem with the sound in the videos, you can hardly hear anything in the left. - The door cannot be opened because it cannot be marked. And some faces are ugly. Commandos is one of the few games of my childhood. So when the HD Remaster came out it was certain that I would play the game. If the developers had focused more on the game than the politics, the game would have been an excellent HD…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No matter how much you loved the original game, this remaster is too broken to be enjoyable. It’s just a glitchy pile of trash. Visually, the remaster is not too bad (despite some weird decisions, like giving the commando members goofy alien heads and removing Nazis from a WWII game). But everything else is a mess. The controls are utterly broken and don’t work as expected most of the time. Selecting your units is unreliable, and picking up an object or dropping it will likely block the game,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →major disappointment, full of bugs and glitches. I played the original back in the day but this HD version will kill your memories. just stay out of it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played it out of a massive nostalgia, however the censorship of it and the fact they have completely balked the game in the remake means I can't recommend it, sadly.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Commandos 2 - HD Remaster brings back the classic real-time tactics experience with improved visuals and modernized controls. The core gameplay remains as challenging and rewarding as ever, requiring strategic thinking, careful planning, and precise execution. Fans of the original will appreciate the nostalgia, while newcomers get a chance to experience one of the best tactical stealth games ever made. While the updated graphics and UI enhancements are a nice touch, the remaster has some rough…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Original is better in all ways...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Horrible, just horrible. This game is that bad i just not gonna use the usual template for my reviews that i use normally. I will be brief to describe the stupidity i had to deal with on this game. First, up till Das Boot, it was ok. But then after and during that mission, it was bug after bug after bug. I got a total of 23 different bugs during that mission it took me 4 or 5 hours to finish because i could not finish it and had to restart 3 times. But holly hell was the 3rd try close to bug…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has many bugs and the developer has not yet done anything to fix them
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As all remasters, I will split this review in what comes from the original game from 2001 and what they did with the remaster part. Commandos 2 is just brilliant, it was hard to follow up on the great success of the first game (and Beyond the call of duty), but they did. This game added so much new stuff that it feels like a completely different game. Missions will have huge houses and structures that you can traverse completely, sometimes making a map three times as large compared to the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Commando 2 Men of Courage is a good game & brings back fond memories. However, the re master gave more frustration than satisfaction. The re master is fill with bugs & glitches. There has not been any new updates to fix the game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is bugged and incomplete , suppose your character is inside the building or any house for that matter when u press 1 the camera angle should shift to Green Beret but it doesnt , it works only when you are outside of the building .
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can't recommend before you fix basic, annoying bugs... Natasha is almost unplayable. The uniform icon is wrong all the time, and she doesn't go back to military uniform when losing disguise very, very often (most of the times). When you select a commando by pressing his/her number twice, it doesn't move the camera to that commando like the original game did. This means that, once you are inside a building and want to select a commando outside, the camera remains inside... Which makes it…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →0 / 10 The controls don't work so you can't play. Click to move a commando does not move the unit on macOS. (macbookpro M1 max). Don't buy. Get the original on gog.com.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The buggiest piece of... you know what. How is it possible to do a remaster so f.. up things badly. Game is unplayable...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Commandos 2 is in my top 3 games of all times. I was looking forward to this remaster and really wanted to like it. The whole game feels like fan-remake within the Unity engine now. So many elements are popping out from the background, lots of bugs and it does not feel like the original did... In fact the original + the HD Mod is a way, way, way better game than this. Also the missing coop MP is a dealbreaker
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of my all time favorite games from my childhood, that being said this game is still really buggy. I loved the original and I have tried to look past the bugs of the remastered one, but sometimes you can't. I don't like censorship either because it lost a bit of the old touch. If you have not played the original and you are eager to play the remaster wait for a sale.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →please fix all the bugs and glitch on the game.. the game gets stuck, then characters are down but appear standing up, every time you get on a door. The character gets stuck standing up when u are crawling. the detection on finding boxes gets lost and you can not get into the box or the bodies of the enemy. also when you want to kill with a knife there is no command or bottom on the screen because goes away. I wish getting my money back.. but this is not allow from steam. don't waste your time
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has bugs, yet I can still manage to finish the mission. I remember the original version was smoother about 20 years ago.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought the mac version. Not sure why this is up for sale. The game crashes all the time. Slideshow instead of a game. Too bad because the game itself is wonderful.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →even after all the patches you will encounter major glitches even in the first real mission. For example, the graphics are horribly glitchy near roofs or walls. Fences, Guards and view cones will clip through them in a way that makes it sometimes hard to tell where things really are. and that is just the tip of the glitch-iceberg in summary: this remaster is a stain on the legacy of a beautiful game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →How do you screw up making a tutorial? Ask these devs.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The characters don't move. I encountered the same issue discussed in this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1100410/discussions/2/4298194004197819955/

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not able to play as the characters can't be moved on MacOS
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Commandos 2 is one of the greatest games made. The original of course, not this sloppy made bug ridden downgrade. Visual bugs are most common, but also in gameplay the game reacts unpredictable many times. Anyway, the original works fine on W11.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow, the controls suck. I want to enjoy this game so bad, but I just can't. Maybe it's just a skill issue, but the controls don't get explained. Also, the game crashes if you play it on a normal laptop. Don't buy this game; it has too many problems and not enough good things to make up for it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The anger at this remaster is both understandable, and overdone. I haven't encountered the slew of bugs everyone else has, at least no moreso than the base game had (And the base game did in fact, have bugs) Literally all of the graphical "upgrades" and spirte changes are bad and shouldn't of been done. They are ugly, the new commandos are ugly, there was no need for any of it. BUT This is still the best real time tactics game ever made, and this is how you can play it reliably if the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →About halfway through and so far the remaster has been good. A couple minor visual glitches, but otherwise nothing gamebreaking. Don't care much that the swastikas were removed, people having a meltdown over "historical accuracy" need to chill. The gameplay is still good, albeit with all the caveats it came with 20 years ago. A timeless classic that every fan of the genre should try
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved the first Commandos games, but I can't get beyond Training Camp 2 in this one. Too many things don't seem to work, & why does it take so long to load a saved game? Far too many bells and whistles for me. I've wasted hours trying to get the hang of it, but i'm going to uninstall now - waste of money. More bugs than a tramp's bed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Positives: -If you want to play Commandos 2 and the old Commandos 2 is too old for you, you can choose this version, but some bugs may make the game unplayable (negativity within positivity) -There is a detail that I like, when you make our soldiers wear enemy clothes as armor, if I remember correctly, this served as armor in the old game, the characters looked extremely ugly when you made them wear them in the old commandos 2, but in this version the characters look very good -Opportunity to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game holds a special place in my heart as one of my favorite nostalgic games. "Commandos 2" is a must-play for fans of strategy games looking for a challenging and rewarding experience. The game's challenging missions and diverse cast of characters provide hours of gameplay and replayability.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have played the game on Windows 11 and appreciate the effort made to improve the experience and revive it for nostalgia. However, there are still several glitches that affect gameplay, and I would strongly suggest that the developers test the game more thoroughly on Windows 11. One of the most annoying issues is that commandos cannot be selected using the number keys (1, 2, 3); instead, you have to click on them manually, which disrupts the gameplay flow. Additionally, I missed the promotion…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great remake of the original, can get boring after a while but thats just my attention span
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the more buggy games I've played. The worst part is that these are actually disturbing bugs e.g. it happened that the inventory menu would not hide after picking up clothes and you had to reload the game. It didn't fix any of the problems of the original and added many new ones. The only plus is HD graphics but honestly not worth it and much better to buy the original. Although the graphics will be typical of 2001 it will be much more playable than that.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game so much, but can't recommend this remaster. It has a lot of bugs like - menus not opening - clicks not being recognized (doors f.e.) I hope they fix it because I'd love to play it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The upscaled graphics look a lot worse than the originals, and performance is iffy at best. I'd rather play the original.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →🛡️ RETRO RAID VERDICT: COMMANDOS 2 HD REMASTER 🛡️ Most armies charge through the front gate. Commandos slip through the shadows, cut the telephone wire, poison the wine, steal an enemy uniform and leave the fortress burning before anyone understands what happened. Commandos 2 is not a game about having the fastest trigger finger. It is about patience, observation and transforming an impossible battlefield into a carefully executed plan. Every mission is a tactical puzzle filled with…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I grew up playing first Commandos.. while there's no remaster for first game (or the sequel that wasn't numbered) I went back to Commandos 2 remaster, game I played but never finished. Gameplay is almost exactly the same as you remember it from original, the only thing Calipso changed is they've added their stupid interface which half the time no longer plays cinematics when starting the game. They also remastered faces of Commandos during dialogues and they look terrible - I'd say worse…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This Games lags so much very dissapointed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As an MBA M2 user, this game is buggy, but I still rate it as 10 out of 10 because I appreciate the developer bringing this classic game to the OS X platform. This is the type of classic game I would play it every once a while.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is full of bugs. Gameplay is not liquid even with the lowest graphic settings. The mouse cursor is stuck und is not smooth when moving the cursor. The control has a hughg delay. I play on a MacBook Pro with i7 Core 2.8Ghz and 16GB RAM. When i played this game the last time as a child i used a AMD with 512MB of RAM and about 2GHZ and 32 Bit Core System and it was realy smoothi.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a very good version sadly :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I understand the graphics, but the gameplay or actually the game itself was just bad. Super hard to control.
