Or, just don’t use it. Childhood nostalgia preserved
Yeah I find the kind of messaging in the headline here really eye-rolling. No, a new (bad) instalment in a franchise doesn’t make me stop enjoying the older entries. The Star Wars sequels don’t take away from the original hexalogy & Clone Wars.
The review itself here though is really good. The game is really, really bad, and the author of this review absolutely nails the reasons why.
It is genuinely hard to describe just how bad this is. I did the best job I could of my own review over on the official Age of Empires forums. Its worst sin is probably the simple fact that it barely even feels like a game where you make choices. You just click what it tells you to do.
It’s telling that they don’t have an official subforum for this game, although there is one for AoE1, 2, 3, and 4, and Age of Mythology. They do have a Discord, and I recently noticed on there the official devs are desperately calling for people to give more positive reviews.
