But for GameByte, there’s not a lot of reason to purchase Age of Empires IV for £50 ($70) if you can just buy Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition for £15 ($20), which are, according to GameByte, almost identical, with Age of Empires II in some aspects even being better. At this point, after two decades of Age of Empires, one would expect a lot of evolution from the franchise. Moving towards the more lukewarm but still positive reviews, most complaints still talk about how Age of Empires IV does not add a lot to the formula. Yet it still seems to stand shoulders above many of its contemporaries… Those expecting a revolution may be disappointed, but Age of Empires IV is still a confident, deep, and hugely compelling return.” There’s not much evidence of Relic even attempting to innovate or take risks.
God is a Geek, who gave Age of Empires 4 a review score of 9.0/10, says: “ Age of Empires IV, then, feels like something of an effortless masterclass in planning and waging war.
However, even for the highest-scored articles, critics are disappointed that Relic Entertainment may have played it too carefully when it comes to the game’s mechanics. Universally, Age of Empires IV is praised for its gameplay, its campaigns, diversity in the available civilizations, and the game’s impressive visuals. History, carnage, and teeny weeny elephants, Age of Empires 4 has it all.”Īge of Empires 4 review scores also remain high for a majority of other review sites. And finally, GamesRadar+ says: “There’s so much depth in the gameplay, so many tactics to experiment with, so many weird scenarios I can build for myself in Skirmish mode, that it’s hard to imagine ever getting bored of it. “ Age of Empires IV is a bold and ambitious evolution of the series, and quite likely one of the best RTS games ever made,” concludes CGMagazine.
