Great soundtrack, silly and nonsensical story, puzzle based game play. Helltaker offers this and more.
The game is free so I won't complain about it being too short, because free... oh and small in size. I found it fun and enjoyable.

Before starting I want to clarify at the time of review, I have only cleared a single primary arc and all it's branches pre-DLC in Red Alert and only started in Tiberian Dawn. I have not played any skirmishes, multi-player, or used any mods.

Simply put, this is a well made nostalgia ride through and through. Great for anyone who wants to have a (mostly) bug free return to the original C&C Real-Time Strategy system, with some extra polish updates to the User Interface, graphics, and game engine.

Pros
- Updated to run on modern PCs
- Classic interface
- Nostalgic feeling from Installing the game to the last mission
- Behind the scenes extras as mission rewards, beyond progressing the story
- Easy to get into for new to Command and Conquer players, or those who never had a chance to play the originals
- Remastered Visuals and Iconic Soundtrack while still having access to the original assets that you can switch between in game

Cons
- Nostalgic issues with the interface, pathing, general AI difficulty
- The fact you easily switch between the enhance and original graphics by accident (spacebar)
- There are some issues when using the modern style interface option making the whole affair feel a bit clunky

Personal thoughts that can be both Pros and Cons (in other words take these with a grain of salt/sand):
- This remaster points out how extremely simple older RTS games where to the newer version we have out today, in size of maps, scope of abilities, how many different ways there are to solve a mission, complexity of missions, etc. etc.
- There are bugs(?) or issues, most of the ones I have come across are small and easily over looked or ignored and all have to do with the User Interface and the AI in general, that being said the this is a remaster so having the same issues/limitations that were there originally would make some sense.
-The mission intro/outros being only 'brushed up' (I realize that this is likely an understatement of the monumental task it was to make these videos clean enough for 1080 to 4k) is a bit of a bummer, but I understand it isn't like they can just go out and ask the actors to comeback and re-shoot all of the story scenes at the drop of the hat and sell this game at the $20 USD price point we have at release.

tl;dr
DID NOT TRY SKIRMISHES, MULTIPLAYER, or MODS (yet)
Great game for the nostalgia feels
Has its issues, some old some new
Initial price of $20.00 US Dollars while worth it for me, you wouldn't suffer if you decided to wait and get it on a sale either.

Fun

Shell Shock Live, is a entertaining game for using a variety of weapons from simple to insane to destroy enemy tanks. coming with the basic "Free For All" and "Team Death Match" to the more outlandish "Juggernaught" and "Rebound" game modes. There is a little bit of somthing in here for everyone. Wether you play solo or group with friends you can have some fun, and maybe with a bit of luck and/or math win some gears.
