Very dynamic play style - one of the best RTS games I ever played.
on the downside - matching sometimes takes a long time and it is upsetting when you wait for long time and then players drop out - would be great if Players who drop out could be replaced with AI or something
but overall great game

Great strategy game featuring accurate depictiuons on ciivilizations! Enjoy campaign and skirmish! You can also make your own map

i love midevil times

I grew up playing AOE2 like many. This was a fresh way to get back into AOE at an older age. It's easy to learn, hard to master.. But very rewarding. I've had more fun playing this and learning every aspect of it than any other game in years. The landmark choices per age is the most creative part. Genius, and glad they did it! Hats off to the team. And thank you for continuing to revise and fix based off the community feedback. It now feels really solid.

I have been playing Age of Empires since the late 90s as a little kid. To see a fourth game finally release with modern graphics is so awesome. Now, I can type a lot, in great detail. To avoid this, I'm simply doing a short list of praise and rant of the things I like the most, and the worst things about the game in Dec of 2024.

Praise: Nostalgia is real and it feels great. I love these games and playing a modern one has been a real treat. There is plenty to do with PvE if you're not really a PvP type of gamer. There's a lot of single-player campaigns and tons of custom game options. Graphics are pretty and the mechanics feel smooth. There's a lot of uniqueness to each civilization.

Rant: I'm typing this review immediately after having been kicked from a 3v3 PvP game with two of my friends VS. three other players. It is absolutely infuriating when one of your friends gets automatically kicked if they disconnect for a few seconds, and now they have to wait around for the others to finish (and probably lose) their game. But it is 100% even more aggravating to be the one that somehow loses connection to the game, gets kicked, and now has to watch as your friends have to play 2v3. It happens too often, and it sucks so much. It's not even anyone's fault that they get kicked, but you still feel bad and you're left with this awful feeling of letting your teammates down. It has been over 2 years, Relic Entertainment, please do SOMETHING about this! Rant over.

Do I recommend this game?
Yes, if you're a casual PvPer and enjoy PvE real-time strategy games.
No, if you're a competitive PvPer and you don't want to get kicked from a game for accidental disconnections or a sudden spike of drawn-out latency.

noting strategic in this game only blob i rather play total war or real time games like company of heros as a strategic game
