Age of Empires has been an institution and this definitive version comes to give it a new facelift, not only improving the audiovisual quality but also increasing the content to the point of madness in a title that was already replayable in its different modes and lasted hours. and hours of fun. Its inclusion in Game Pass, cross play and the option to use keyboard and reason round off this version. If you have not yet had the pleasure of enjoying the game in its previous versions, now you have no excuse.

Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition is the update of a classic. It wasn't easy, but Forgotten Empires Studio has hit the nail on the head with lots of playable changes and lots of new content. The AI fails sometimes and the new voices won't please anyone, but overall it's a fantastic real-time strategy game.
