hello and greetings from Eastern Europe my name is Colby RHD and this is my very
short review of Age of Empires 2 definitive edition last time I played
Age of Empires was probably more than 10 years ago I was still a beautiful young
man without a beard and all that fat much like you my friend I think many of
you who are watching this review right now are thinking the same thing is this
game any good is that game as good as I remember it to be or this is just
another money grab with no additional value at all I will try to answer this
question really quick this is slightly better version of Age of Empires 2 but
it's the same old game if you play the Age of Empires long time ago you'll
probably notice nothing new except the graphics and those are really nice you
can even zoom a little but if you play the game recently keep in mind that in
definitive edition some stuff is updated like forms receding automatically more
aggressive a high slightly better path fighting and a bit rebalance
technologies and units also for new civilizations are included Bulgarians
humans taters and finally Lithuanians who were one of the most powerful
nations in Europe in Middle Ages what was somehow forgotten in-game all those
years so best way to experience the game is to play a skirmish match I chose to
play against computer moderate AI because my skills are very rusty I chose
new civilization of Lithuanians and fought the mighty Aztecs uh hui hui hui
salat 'old was my enemy and though I have built a lot of buildings and
trained a lot of warriors eh I did everything way better and I shamefully
lost then I did a rematch used my old skills from Starcraft to build a castle
and won against all the odds so basically if you know one strategy game
you know them all not professionally of course but you might be good enough to
win against that ah-hoo moderate AI so what else does
this game feel like a modern game no not at all but it tries hard everything
feels smoother even unit control is better than before but it's still a
garbage units will freeze meters from the enemy will fall back without any
reason or take months sickle roots while pursuing enemy and
die in the process because of the heavy arrow fall from the enemy archers also
when you zoom out you can't notice your idle workers just because they are so
small now and if you make a game with four other computers with 200 population
you better borrow that supercomputer from NASA because otherwise you will
learn what a world of lag means so the verdict is definitive edition only ghost
skin-deep nothing really innovative is implemented here basically it's a bit
better game than a classic Age of Empires 2 with 4 new civilizations and a
bit boring campaign the last cans but no more than that so if you want to play
classic grab this instead it's better but if you want to play in New Age of
Empires game like totally new think you have to wait for the part 4 thank you
for watching and now I'm leaving you with a recently released gameplay from
Age of Empires four enjoy and press that like button if you do all the vodka in
the world will become a bit stronger have a nice day bye
