Problem with this remaster is that it stays extremely faithful to the original. While the graphics has been modernized, the underlying gameplay remains mostly untouched. Unfortunately, the original game aged badly, so a straightforward remaster was doomed. The flaws it had in 1997 were frustrating, but still tolerable. In 2019, however, these same issues feel downright bizarre. Strange game design choices, abysmal pathfinding, dull campaign - all makes this game very hard, if not impossible, to recommend. Needless to say, there is no reason to play multiplayer either. Nostalgia is the only selling point, but even that only goes so far. You can play the original game in DOSBox, or you can play Age of Empires II if you want to enjoy a "timeless classic rts".1 found this helpful
Incredible game. Played as a kid and for each hour I play it I am a 10 years old once more only with more knowledge and new strategies to beat the enemy and of course to have some fun. Great graphics, awesome logic for it's time is quite an advanced game.
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
