Age of Empires dropped the same year I was born. I grew up commanding armies instead of action figures, building empires instead of Lego castles. This game didn’t just entertain me, it shaped my love for history, strategy, and the rise and fall of civilizations.

So don't expect to find anything technical in this review. This is a wonderful game that served as my re-introduction to the traditional RTS genre. This is also my first time playing anything from the AoE franchise, and I enjoy it quite a lot. My wife and I wanted something to play together and she made this recommendation. I'm grateful she did. The game is fun, engaging, educational, and well worth the money. For what it is worth, I am a novice player at best. On top of that I don't get much time to play games. So, having the opportunity to share this with my wife is a wonderful use of my time. Enjoy.

This game is hella fun on campaign. Online is a whole nother thing tho. It’s not for you everyday player and will require all of your time to not get absolutely obliterated every game. The player base for online are extreme try hards. Naturally you’ll look up videos on how to get better but every video teaching you how to get better is on average an hour long. Like jeez… it’s not that serious…. If you want to play campaign and work your way up to playing on harder difficulties it’s a lot of fun but online.. you will face basement dwellers.
