Age of Empires: Definitive Edition

Everything

Age of Empires: Definitive Edition is a faithful remaster of a classic in the Real-Time-Strategy genre, but time has not been kind to it, unfortunately. The remaster has better graphics, and adds some quality of life improvements (Unit Queueing, Farms can be passed through) that fixes the issues that plagued the 1997 original. The game’s biggest problem, however, is that its sequel exists. Age of Empires II plays pretty much like the first, but it improves in every single way imaginable: - Houses can store 5 units instead of 4 - Farms are automatically rebuilt - More military unit variations - Unit formation options - Improved AI pathfinding - Maps feels bigger - More single-player content (AoE 1 has 10, while AoE 2 has over 40) The only thing where I think the first one is better at is cheats. Deep down, AoE 1 is a good game, but it has some flaws that the sequels remedies and ends up being the better game. If you want a game in the series, get [b]Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition[/b]. You’re not missing out on much by skipping the first one. 3 / 5
