I have only played it for an hour and a half in both MP and SP. Thus far:

* Zero crashes
* Great performance @ 1440p
* No major bugs noticed
* Graphics are vastly superior to the original; people complaining it doesn't have the same graphics fidelity as the new games are brain dead. This game came out in 2004, and have you seen the original? Surprised they even got it to this level.
* Overall, the game is faithful to the original. The toggles for the features are excellent - it allows people to avoid the new features if they so wish. That should be the standard across remakes; this sets the bar high.
* Battle AI is still bad, but the AI is bad in every TW. Further, anyone expecting major improvement here was just fooling themselves. Again, this engine is ancient - there is only so much you can do!
* UI is a little odd, but I am getting used to it. It is overall better than the original's UI on an objective level.
* Faction cap increased to 31 (original was 21). This makes the modding potential huge.

In the end, this is a remaster, NOT a remake. All of the wrinkles of the old game will remain present... but also all of the gems. RTW remains the standard to which I compare all TW games, and the remaster does exactly what it set out to do: improve the game in small ways, especially in the graphics dept (and make it much more optimized for modern PCs compared to the original), and STAY FAITHFUL to the original product. It accomplished that. 9/10

Don’t play as Macedon, you’ll turn out as Haphaestion...
