That would be the Joan of Arc campaign and particularly the mission that places you in the defence of Orleans. I've particularly loved going back to the one campaign that, twenty years after originally playing it, I still remember. A few hundred hours of gameplay for you right there, not to mention skirmish and multiplayer and, of course, the editor. The game also has sixteen historical battles for you to fight through.

To put a numerical value to that, it's twenty-one campaigns, each containing multiple missions. Why? Not only does the game feature brand new content with 'The Last Khans' campaigns, but it also features every single campaign in Age of Empires II history. Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is frankly too big to have even remotely scratched the surface in five days of me playing the game.

From a massive overhaul of the AI, making a genuinely challenging AI foe, that seems to learn on the fly, to quality of life improvements, a massive visual upgrade and even some brand new content for players to fight their way through. Halo Infinite “Winter Contingency” Begins, Cosmetics a Lot Easier to Earn than in Last Eventĭeveloped by three studios (Forgotten Empires, Tantalus Media, and Wicked Witch Software), this is a project where you can see a whole lot of hard work has gone into it. As a way to promote Age of Empires IV, it's certainly placed the franchise to the front of my mind.

As a standalone game, you couldn't ask for more. This is a game launching at an RRP of £14.99 and to say that it comes with more content than you could ever hope to find is understating things. Putting it simply though, this is exactly what a definitive edition should be. If that spoils my impressions, then so be it. So, with the fact that the game had already gotten an HD remake with new features, what exactly can Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition offer?Ī whole lot of everything, that's what.

Particularly that was with Age of Empires II: HD. I did chalk it up to a tentative yes but made a point that the remastering of an old Age of Empires game had already been done better. It was only a little over one and a half years ago that I was reviewing Age of Empires: Definitive Edition and I spoke a lot about how not enough was truly improved to truly make the game worth it.
