Age of Mythology. One of my favorite games of all time. My second favorite strategy game ever made, only trailing behind Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds. When I heard of Microsoft bringing it back with a brand new remake/ster/whatever, Age of Mythology: Retold, boy was I hyped… but also slightly skeptical. After all, I feared they would eventually “Age of Empires IV it”, making it a bit less customizable, a bit less interesting to play. I guess I shouldn’t have needed to worry, thou...

Unleash the might of the gods and crush your enemies before they c...

If I'm being honest, I can't remember much about the original Age of Mythology. I remember thinking it was a great game, but I've not played that twenty-two-year-old game in about five years, and even then, it was only a quick jump in. Playing Age of Mythology Retold has left me wondering a few things, such as "Was the campaign this long when it launched?", "why haven't they allowed for WASD movement of the camera?" "Will I ever play the online PVP mode?" and "What time is it?"

Age Of Mythology Retold is a solid RTS with tonnes of content and modes to satisfy different gaming tastes but its steep learning curve and time investment to master its controls may be too much for some.

Age of Mythology: Retold is still mostly a classic RTS, but the visual overhaul makes a big difference.
