Remasters and remakes have a reputation for being lazy cash grabs. While this may be true of many of them, there have been more good ones than you might think.
Demon’s Souls Remastered, the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Destroy All Humans Remastered, Mafia: Definitive Edition (which is technically a remake), and others do exactly what remasters are supposed to do–make old games playable for new audiences and update them to modern standards while retaining the magic of the originals.
So here’s a question: if you could name old games you’d like to see remastered, and you could somehow know they’d be done well, which one would you name? I’m talking about games made over ten years ago, not games like Skyrim, GTA V, or The Last of Us, which are too recent to receive any notable benefit from remastering.
I asked myself this question and dashed out my top 5 below. Have a look and see what you think.
