Age of Empires: Definitive Edition Is a mixed one for me. I can respect what this game is. It is a remastered version of a classic RTS, with updated visuals, a remastered soundtrack, modern quality-of-life features, and the original campaigns/content brought together in one package. The setting, campaigns, combat, and strategy gameplay are still the best parts. Building up a civilization, managing resources, training armies, and pushing through historical missions can still be fun. The problem is that the game still feels old in a lot of ways. Even with the Definitive Edition improvements, some parts feel slow, repetitive, and frustrating compared to newer strategy games. The graphics are improved, but they still carry that older-game feeling. The achievement hunt and full completion are also annoying and too long, which makes the grind stand out more than the fun after a while. I would only recommend this to certain players. If you are a fan of the Age of Empires series, classic RTS games, or historical strategy games, there is still something worth playing here. If you are new to strategy games or want something modern and smooth, this may not be the best place to start. Overall, I liked parts of it, especially the stories, combat, and strategy, but the grind and dated feeling held it back for me.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 22: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

Gostei por ser um jogo que conta histórias das civilizações antigas, com algumas partes fictícias, curto muito estes tipos de jogos

Had fun even though the path finding is atrocious.

No está mal. Pero las cientos de horas que he echado al 2 y al 3, es increíble. Nada que ver este juego con el 2 y 3, que son brutales
Date of Review: 13th May 2026 Product Review: 6 / 10 Recommended Retail Price: $10 USD (or lesser) [Definitive Edition, do not get the old school AoE game] Summary: A good entry to RTS games, with economy management, for beginners. The AoE (Age of Empires) franchise has ever been evolving with its famous AoE 2 currently holding a huge player base with expansions rolling out. All due to its predecessor, this! History and story telling are pretty much accurate in its campaign mode and immersive in its missions. However, this might be short lived. This definitive edition has liven up to its name with the graphic upgrade and improved AI patterns from the old game with good QoL updates. However, my RRP can be stingy as with the current demands of RTS games; and its successors, these upgrades does not stand out unless for the sake of nostalgia. Still, get it while it is on sale, and on an attractive one. Pros: 💚 Simple User Interface 💚 Very forgiving gameplay to clear your missions 💚 Achievements are not hard to achieve 💚 Graphics upgrade is done well 💚 Soundtrack sounds great 💚 A GOOOD, but not great yet, scenario editor to create your own scenarios with storytelling. (There might still be a community on this game, hopefully.) Cons: ❌ Controls can be clunky still (Mitigated as this is a remastered version of a 30 year old game, from writing) ❌ Sadly, there are not many missions that requires the Hero to do except for conquest mission ❌ While the graphics and audio upgrades are signficant, there are still room of improvements. If only the soundtracks can be catered to the civilisation that you are playing, (Mitigated as this is a remastered version of a 30 year old game, from writing) ❌ There are still movement and pathfinding issues in the game. Although it has been improved in the definitive edition, this cannot be mitigated as these can be annoying at times during gameplay. Tips/Recommendation for full achievements: 💡If you do it well, there are some unit combinations that can be META in the most difficult ending missions. 💡Towers can be your best friend at times. 💡It is a RTS game with resource management included. Strike a balance with both. 💡On missions that requires transporting over huge water bodies, i would recomment to do the doing in priority: Cripple naval capabilities -> cripple shore capabilities -> Push in. (Destroy/Delete own units when necessary due to population cap. Achieving balance is key.) 💡97.73% of the achievement can be achieved via offline modes (Campaign, Custom games, Scenarios) What has not been experienced: - Online community Have Fun!!!
