Critic Reviews for Age of Mythology: Retold
Age of Mythology: Retold brings the beloved original RTS back with a whole new look and feel, and so far, it has delivered everything fans could want.
Old school strategy, sensibly modernised. Creaky cutscenes and character art aside, the visual overhaul works wonders.
Age of Mythology: Retold is a far better update to the classic than Extended Edition ever was, and this is self-evident through even a few hours with it. The effort put into making this the best Age of Mythology that has ever been oozes throughout, and it’s a resounding success. This remake easily becomes the platonic ideal for Age of Mythology and makes it the true successor to the original.
The gods are immortal and so is this game: it's still as fun as it was 20 years ago and has received just the right facelift to remain attractive.

Age of Mythology Retold is fun, don’t get me wrong. The visual overhaul alone is enough to make playing this 22-year-old game easier, and the quality-of-life improvements sand down some of the older versions’ more annoying edges. However, with more substantial structural improvements in later Age of Empires games, plus with the likes of Ara: History Untold just around the corner, I’m just not sure Retold needed to exist.
A finely re-made classic that is still as engaging and fun as it was back in 2002.

Age of Mythology Retold is a reimagining of the original that adds more than just aesthetics and brings it closer to more modern RTS games without losing sight of its idiosyncrasies. With a major graphical overhaul and many quality-of-life improvements in resource management and optimization, it remains a fun experience for everyone, veterans and newbies alike.

Age of Mythology: Retold eliminates the need to play the original titles as it takes everything from both of those games, modernizes it and brings the experience to 2024. While it lacks the polish of Age of Empires IV, the game remains extremely fun thanks to the mythological units and God Powers that can be recharged and used multiple times. This aspect adds more depth that may have not been there for some players for AOE4. The gameplay aspect does still feel like a RTS from 2002, but the campaign, skirmish and the option of PVE multiplayer will supply a ton of hours to dive into Retold.
