Age of Mythology: Retold review — A wonderful remake that lays the foundation for years of expansions
Over 20 years after it launched, Age of Mythology: Retold is born again in the splendor it deserves.

World's Edge and its partners successfully revive the most underrated Age of Empires game with the launch of Age of Mythology: Retold. More than a pure definitive edition, this classic strategy game gets a full-blown remake with smart gameplay changes and a bevy of options to make it approachable. Aside from a few bugs and glitches that should be addressed, it's a phenomenal game for RTS fans to sink their teeth into.

Age of Mythology: Retold Review - Still Classic
Age of Mythology: Retold is a significant visual and game play update for the 2002 real time strategy classic.

While I think it's overdue for a complete remake, Age of Mythology: Retold is an excellent way to reacquaint players with a genuine classic, and a perfect introduction for gamers new to the title.

Age of Mythology: Retold review — Skipan? Já.
Age of Mythology: Retold is more than just an update to a nostalgic classic; it’s a reimagining of the heyday of RTS games when civilizations could rise and fall in an evening and LAN parties were a tangle of chords, pizza, and Mountain Dew. A graphics update likely would have been enough to...

Age of Mythology: Retold doesn't redefine the genre but returning fans will not be disappointed and new ones may discover why RTS games were king of the hill in the not-so-distant past. Retold is mechanically solid, beautifully remade, and a blast to play with friends.

Age of Mythology: Retold | Review
In Age of Mythology: Retold, we dive into the world of gods, semi-historical figures, mythical beasts, and myths. We turn up the fantasy dial and delve

The developers have once again done a wonderful job of bringing one of the classic and legendary games from history to the present day. Are you interested in a strategy game with a twist? Are you tired of the human/historical conflicts exhibited in Age of Empires and the like? Then take a look at the mythical world of Age of Mythology: Retold.I think you won't be disappointed. If they can fix some of the AI problems and balance issues in future patches, Age of Mythology can truly stand among its peers. It might even become the true fan favorite it was always destined to be. Maybe we should ask the gods for their favor and start praying. Prostagma!

Age of Mythology: Retold - Review
A classic brought back to life with new visuals, but sadly without new campaign content.

In conclusion, I've been thoroughly enjoying the skirmishes and I'm looking forward to playing more when the multiplayer servers open. For those who loved the original, Age of Mythology: Retold is a must-play, offering upgraded graphics, the innovative reuse of god powers, and subtle gameplay tweaks that enhance the overall experience. And even for entirely new players, this will be one of the most fun and well-crafted strategy games you can play right now. Unfortunately, the 'Retold' bit in the title doesn't mean a novel take on the game's campaigns, as these are exactly the same ones as in 2002 and 2014.

Age of Mythology Retold review: I've heard this story before
Our Age of Mythology Retold review breaks down what makes this revamped RTS different from its siblings and where the remake should've gone further.

Age of Mythology Retold is fun, don't get me wrong. The visual overhaul alone is enough to make playing this 22-year-old game easier, and the quality-of-life improvements sand down some of the older versions' more annoying edges. However, with more substantial structural improvements in later Age of Empires games, plus with the likes of Ara: History Untold just around the corner, I'm just not sure Retold needed to exist.

Review: Age Of Mythology: Retold | Console Creatures
Like the gods themselves, Age of Mythology: Retold has never been more likely to endure.

With a new engine, meta and new lighting and motion, Age of Mythology: Retold does a lot to reintroduce one of the real-time strategy genre's darlings.
