Age of Empires: Definitive Edition

Simply one of the best RTS title out there. This was the first game I ever played as a child in the mid 2000s and still get nostalgic thoughts every time I load up this game. Being mostly an FPS player nowadays, I can still confidently say that all of the 400+ hours iv'e spent on this game were truly unforgettable! Thank you Microsoft!

Age of Empires is still a good game After a relatively straightforward time guiding the Egyptians to supremacy, the campaign mode tasks you with building a Greek state, starting with a small agricultural hub. Yet you've barely erected your town centre when those red-skirted sods come to smash it with their clubs. Guys, take your war mongering antics somewhere else and piss off im trying to lay the foundations here for a great empire Don't worry you will not be forgotten in the purge. Age of Empires has always been a challenging game its a Classic game but you can still see and face the problems bugging the game. Graphiclly its ok dated but still ok IANS37 RATING 5/10 COMPLETED:- 1 Time

Fun game, not too challenging to start with, but gets tougher as you go on. Suitable for kids and adults, harmless fun that you can get lost in for hours

Its easy to understand, and fun to play against others.

Despite having some poor unit pathing and outdated menu appearance, this is a great version of AOE1. The game holds up quite well in the modern era.

It looks WAY better than the old one but the missions are similar for campaign.

Ai is trash in this game

I see no point in playing this over Age of Empires II now that most of it got included in that game

tl;dr: Good game, but not as good as AoE2. Buy it to play against friends or complete your collection. The good: The game feels way more modern that the last time I played the original version. The graphics improvements are nice and the QoL improvements are very welcomed. The bad: The game, even when upgraded, still feels kind of slow. I wouldn't say it doesn't have its charm, but it certainly isn't as good as AoE2. I would recommend purchasing this game only if you plan on playing with friends or for completing your collection on Steam.

A CLASSIC! I grew up with this game as a child, enjoying many of the missions and strategy and building ruling empires. This game NEVER gets old!
