It only looks a little bit better than the original game, but it’s far from what you’d expect from a game released in 2021.
Then again, this is a remaster and not a remake. They look bad from afar, and it’s blatantly worse if you zoom in and look at everything up close. The colors and textures are stale, and the same can be said for the terrain. The game’s graphics overhaul also isn’t very impressive. It’s different, perhaps even better than the old UI, but it’s still not inherently good. Thankfully, its saving grace is that it is able to convey the proper information needed for new and old players alike. The UI looks dirty, messy, and unpleasant. Total War: Rome Remastered looks very overbearing. So, that’s a handful of additions, but not all of them are for the better. There’s also the addition of Merchants, a new agent that will allow players to establish trade opportunities. The UI design is also expanded upon, which gives the players more information about everything they need to know. The remaster now allows the players more freedom to pan out, rotate, basically completely control the camera in both the campaign map and battle mode. Total War: Rome Remastered is almost everything the classic game was, except for a few added features and a minor-and let me reiterate, a very minor overhaul in terms of graphics.
How does that game fair under modern standards? How does Total War: Rome Remastered stack up to the original? And is a remaster of this old, critically acclaimed classic justifiable?

Total War: Rome is one of the games early in the series that a lot of people look back with the fondest of memories. They pushed the strategy game genre forward and elevated it to greater heights. The earliest games of the Total War series are widely considered to be ahead of their time. It’s also a great opportunity for new players to experience the games of old. Sure, it’s incredible that players and fans of classic games are given the chance to relive fond memories, replay some of their favorite games, and experience nostalgia. They’ve come and gone, and they are a hit or miss.
