What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Command & Conquer™ Generals is praised by players for its engaging campaign, timeless visual style, and enduring fun factor even after two decades, with solid Linux compatibility. The main complaint centers on the online PvP meta becoming repetitive and dominated by exploitative tactics like edge-of-map jeep circling. Players acknowledge it's not the most competitively balanced RTS available today, but many still find it genuinely enjoyable and worth playing for the campaign experience and nostalgic value.

Not recommended Oct 3, 2026

Generals is an okay game with a very mediocre campaign. Its main merit is being a necessary stepping stone to the absolutely incredible Zero Hour expansion which should be directly played instead.

super fun and diverse

Not recommended Oct 5, 2026

It runs on linux smoothly out of the box, but there are issues with cursor positioning and graphical glitches.

zero hour is better than this in ever way

Recommended Oct 4, 2026

I love this game, it brings back all the nostalgia. Such a fun time, playing LAN party games with friends.

Not recommended Oct 3, 2026

Does not start on modern system. There is a work around if you google it, but if you sell old games ensure they are compatible with modern hardware.
