Age of Mythology: Retold is a successful attempt at reviving a classic title with a modern look and better accessibility. With three fascinating campaigns and a smooth multiplayer experience, it can be the perfect game for fans of old school RTS games who are yearning for a fresh experience.
"Age of Mythology: Retold" not only makes an already highly fun game shine in a largely contemporary look, but also adds many useful improvements, first and foremost the reusable god powers, the villager priority system, significantly more accessibility options and a really well thought-out controller control.

Age of Mythology: Retold is an absolutely successful project with an highly affordable price tag, capable of keeping an RTS enthusiast glued to the controller for days on end, but that can also win over those who are not experts in the genre.

With a new engine, meta and new lighting and motion, Age of Mythology: Retold does a lot to reintroduce one of the real-time strategy genre's darlings.
The nostalgic feeling kept and at the same time enough new elements is the balance act that remakes have to manage. Age of Mythology Retold did it with new modernised graphics and a campaign that stays true to the original. There is still room for improvement in the wayfinding or formation systems and also a questionable DLC premium package is in the mix but we still had a lot of fun with this timeless classic.

Age of Mythology: Retold does everything you'd expect from a high-level remaster (which is almost a remake, given the significant changes) of a high-level game. There are some flaws, and perhaps more effort could have been put into the gameplay to find even more innovative solutions, especially since the decision was made not to recreate it on a 1:1 scale.

I think you won’t be disappointed. If they can fix some of the AI problems and balance issues in future patches, Age of Mythology can truly stand among its peers. It might even become the true fan favorite it was always destined to be. Maybe we should ask the gods for their favor and start praying.
Age of Mythology: Retold blends nostalgia with modern appeal, offering a well-polished experience with expansive content. Despite minor flaws, the game’s mythological elements and orchestral soundtrack steal the show.

New editions of old games are a balancing act: they have to feel like they used to and at the same time they have to meet the demands of modern audiences. Age of Mythology: Retold manages this balancing act spectacularly well. This is exactly what a remaster should feel like.
