The performance was solid throughout my testing, I had no issues with gameplay improvements and the graphics looked great. There were some pathfinding issues and units did enjoy clashing with one another, which made battle rather hectic, but the clunky controls and movement were among the things I loved most about the original. Pros: - Nostalgia hit. - Excellent soundtrack scores. - Great improvements on the original. - Access to the classic game. Cons: - A little clunky at times. Is this game worth the asking price? Absolutely.

This Age of Empires: Definitive Edition is the perfect remaster effort to make a classic shine once more. The RTS genre has finally started to bounce back after so much neglect and to see one of the best franchises return so strong is fantastic.

Age of Empires: Definitive Edition is a must-play for series vets looking to recapture the nostalgia of their first RTS experience, and well worth a look for new players looking to understand the roots of the RTS genre.

Age of Empires: Definitive Edition succeeds in its goal — giving fans of the series a painstakingly remastered game that is faithful to the original. However, we feel that players would've been better served with improved storytelling.
