Critic Reviews for Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition
Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition preserves for posterity the core of this weirdest 00s RTS experiments while making some much-needed changes. Love it or hate it, the definitive edition is Age of Empires 3 amplified.
A modest remaster of a fun but flawed RTS that's stuck in the ever-lengthening shadow of its predecessor.
All in all, Age Of Empires 3: Definitive Edition is still a solid game. Its single-player content will last you over a dozen hours, and its multiplayer matches will last you several dozen more. While there is no longer that drive to farm XP for updates your Home City, the game itself is good enough that you'll be coming back for rematches time after time.
If you didn't like the original, you probably won't like this one either, but it is a spectacular RTS that improves in graphics and details such as the balance between the factions and the historical representation. And it's included in Game Pass.

Age of Empires III Definitive Edition is a lovingly reworked classic of the RTS genre that modernises in all the right ways. It also serves as the perfect way to prepare for next year's long awaited Age of Empires IV.
Xbox Games Studios is back in charge with a great adaptation of one of the world's most iconic installments of strategy loaded with new features in one of the best remasters remembered in today's landscape

Not the best in the series but still fun and engaging, that comes with a few new gameplay modes, two civilizations and restored graphics.

Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition is a fantastic job of remastering and enhancing the original. Graphics, historical representation, gameplay ... Only some problems in the AI take us back to ancient times.
