It is stunningly immersive as you feel like a tactical war general enacting your battle plans. The only way I can describe it is that Age Of Empires 2 on Xbox looks the way I thought it did when I was a kid. While also updating the art style in a very clean and respectful way. Somehow the developers managed to check both of these boxes, offering the almost standard 4K UHD graphical fidelity. While still maintaining the classic appeal of what fans like me who have nostalgia for the series are looking for.

The biggest challenge a lot of remasters/remakes face is how do you update the graphics and gameplay mechanics for new fans looking for a modern experience. Does Age Of Empires 2 still have that “WOW” factor if you didn’t play it back in the late 90s as I did? I think it absolutely does. Now fast forward to 2023 where plenty of RTS has combined even crazier ideas such as the battles to be found in franchises like Warhammer.

To be able to experience it and pit all these different factions against each other felt otherworldly at the time. In what other world could you make the Britons fight the Persians? It was such a chaotic mixture of history. As an avid history enjoyer, seeing so many different factions combined into one world was incredible. Falling In Love With The PastĪge of Empires 2 was one of my first RTS games as a kid, and I can remember being blown away at first. Despite these challenges, Forgotten Empires and Tantalus Studios smashed my expectations with a fantastic port of a legendary franchise. With so much action happening all over the map translating such an intensive game like Age Of Empires 2 to a console is a tall task.

There are many challenges in bringing an RTS to console, due to the wide variety of movement and keybinding allotted by the mouse and keyboard peripherals. Now in 2023, Age Of Empires 2 has made its way to an Xbox console for the first time ever.

The release of the definitive edition on PC back in 2019 saw a whole new generation of fans fall in love with the franchise. From its massive epic battles, thematic soundtrack, and highly competitive multiplayer, it has been a staple on PC for decades. Age Of Empires 2 has often been considered to be one of the greatest RTS games of all time.
