Age of Mythology: Retold Reviews
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.
