Classic. Challenging. Not too complex. Historical. This game puts my brain in a theta wave state.
One of the greatest games of all time and it still runs perfectly on modern hardware! You can't ask for more. I remember playing this game as a teenager and loving it. It might be the only game I played when I was young that I still enjoy playing just as much now in my 40s. Definitely worth it, whether you played back then or not!
Really enjoy the gameplay and hard difficulty level is exactly that. Years of playing has led to me being very good at the original game, but the expansions can be a bit different. Most are easy, but theres one or two that are still a struggle.
You don't play a game for more than 3000 hours for no reason, its a classic that keeps me coming back. Castle Blood Arena is where its at if you like custom scenarios!
I've been playing this game for many years and still enjoy the graphics, challenges and familiarity.

Age of Empires II: HD Edition is a faithful remaster of one of the most beloved strategy games of all time. Released in 2013, it updates the classic gameplay with improved visuals, Steam integration, and expanded modding support, while retaining the core mechanics that made the original a masterpiece. For longtime fans, this edition is a deeply nostalgic experience, evoking fond memories of building empires and battling friends in LAN parties.
The gameplay mechanics are timeless, offering a perfect balance between base-building, resource management, and tactical combat. The variety of civilizations, each with unique units and bonuses, ensures a rich strategic experience. The core mechanics remain as addictive and rewarding as ever, earning a perfect 10/10 for gameplay.
The narrative is presented through a series of historical campaigns that take players through epic stories like the rise of Genghis Khan and the exploits of Joan of Arc. While not groundbreaking in storytelling, the campaigns are engaging and offer historical context that enhances the experience. Narrative scores a solid 8/10.
Graphically, the HD Edition updates the visuals with higher resolution textures and improved lighting. While these enhancements are welcome, they don’t drastically overhaul the game’s dated appearance. Graphics earn a respectable 7/10 for the functional improvements.
The sound and music remain iconic, with the original soundtrack beautifully remastered. The stirring score and immersive sound effects perfectly capture the atmosphere of medieval battles, enhancing the nostalgic charm of the game. Sound and music earn a 9/10.
Replayability is unmatched. The sheer number of civilizations, custom scenarios, multiplayer modes, and modding tools ensure countless hours of engaging gameplay. Whether reliving campaigns or competing online, players will find endless reasons to return. Replayability earns a perfect 10/10.
Innovation in the HD Edition lies primarily in its quality-of-life updates, mod support, and seamless online play through Steam. While these improvements are valuable, they don’t fundamentally change the game, earning innovation a 7/10.
In summary, Age of Empires II: HD Edition is a nostalgic yet fresh experience that celebrates one of the greatest strategy games ever made. It successfully modernizes a classic without compromising what made it great. For both veterans and newcomers, it remains an essential title for fans of real-time strategy games.
Let's face it, this is the classic. It's not just the atmosphere of it, it's also either comfortable or exciting, according to how you change the game parameters. You can have a quick game, or a heroic struggle, at your whim. I also like playing with an AI ally ... except when they keep on pestering me with "Wood, please ..."
This game is super fun and allows you to learn concepts about economics through an interactive play
Nostalgia at its finest. First RTS I ever played and still great to this day. I enjoy this version more then the newer. Great title for the beginning of a serious RTS addiction!
They killed the game in order to make you buy a new version that is worse and more expensive than this one. If you can get your hands on this game somewhere, don't hesitate and you will never regret it. I still keep the CD of the original edition, which work without problems. And I've been coming back to this game every year, for decades. The highest recommendation.
Must have for RTS fans. it is a classic for a reason. great game play with many factions, stories and mods available.
One of the first games I got, and it's still holds up even after these years.
One of my favorite games of all time. Just as fun playing at 36 as it was playing at 12.
Apparently, this game is "retired"(not available anymore on Steam?). I guess we are the lucky ones who got it in our steam libary. Poor souls who missed out.
first computer game i played in my life prob around yr 1998. games just as good now as i remember it being then, kinds slow paced compared to modern games but altogether still worth the money and def worth playing.
I've played this game with my family since I was a child and I still love this game. I love getting immersed in the societies and civ building is always a blast. Loads of maps, settings, civilisations, and then campaigns and custom maps to satisfy you.
I love to be able to command troops and artillery into battle, and strategize plans of attack build, through trial and error lol Thank you
A very warm and beautiful game involving the basics of war in the medieval times.
Its a great strategy game. Simulates real places. I really like the map editor. You can create your own map from scratch and play it. And can team up or play against or with other people that have the game. The campaign section is pretty neat as well. There are cheat codes in the game that can help you quite a bit. However, if you use them your achievements wont be recognized IE trophies. I've played this game for many, many hours and I never get bored. There's always a way to alter the game play to make it more interesting or challenging. It can be easy enough for a younger child or a novice. And challenging enough for a gamer.
Old classic but to HD and multiplayer works!
the reson my faviort game star wars battlegrounds exiest is cus of this game so yes i love this game too
One of, If not the best Real Time Strategy Game ever developed. This game has eaten years of my life from how good it is.
While yes, the Definitive edition is clearly the superior version in terms of quality and content, The HD edition is still a great purchace if your computer can't run DE, or you can't afford it. Though keep in mind servers are usually emptier now
It allows you to be creative. It encourages you to learn about the history of the world. It makes to think.
It allows you to let off steam when you are tired and need to "get away from all your worries. I would recommend it to anyone of any age or generation. It teaches you that you can't have everything you want
when and where you want it. You have to consider others. It teaches you that you an only have things if you work for them and plan ahead. I never tire of Age of Empires.
This is the best Age of Empires incarnation if you crawled out from a rock and have never heard of this franchise before. It is a city builder with a very heavy focus on technology advancement, resource gathering, and most importantly combat and military. It is very easy to lose hours of your day on this game. There are quite a few different civilizations each with their own perks and a few extra military unit types.
There are several campaigns you can play or you can skirmish against AI, real players, or a combination of them both. You can team up against players or AI as well.
Every time I try to play this game I get some kind of error. Total waste of money and time.
this will always be my favorite game. this is the one that stated it all and is wonderfully simple and complex at the same time. straight forward game play and clear cut goals and senerios.
Unplayable even if you have a high end pc, the unit pathfinding calculation will ruin your fps, its a single thread engine, you will get lag spikes every other second, and if your pop reaches 200+ total in game fps will be constantly under 20
The best AoE and it never gets old, with friends or without to play with
It really doesn't get any better than this for RTS games. my whole childhood was this game and I still play it now. If you've never heard of it or played it, it's an absolute must play.
I have played this game for many more hours than recorded here. Creative world-building and kingdom conquering at its finest. I've learned a lot about staying on tasks from my villagers. They rock!
Age of Empires II HD Edition is without a doubt one of the best games in the franchise. It brings back that huge nostalgia of the classic 1, Rise of Rome and especially 2!
The game works very well, pure high definition, VERY fun, VERY ENJOYABLE... And very strategic by the way!
Not to mention the online mode which is incredible (as long as you have an acceptable ping to play with other players, if not... They kick you out of the lobby) I recommend it, but if the price is too high for you... I suggest you wait for a possible sale!
I play almost exclusively with the tech x256 mod on. Very fun. Base game is pretty fun, but if you play with the x256 tech mod, you can get up to some pretty crazy shenanigans. I like to play as Vikings and research the hell out of Berserkergang so my Berserks heal at a ridiculous rate and become nigh on invincible. Also any solid cavalry civ that can research bloodlines for 3k HP cav units. Or Mayans with the unique tech to add +40 hp to eagle warriors...x256, of course. You get the idea. It gets pretty silly. Try it out.
I've been playing this game for 25 years. It's never gotten old.
I played this growing up and still to this day I love everything about this game.
IM eating at cheese steak jimmy's while robin hood and the lumberjack rock on.
Great game. I used to play the original low def version, so really like the HD graphics and new campaigns. Good simple RTS.
Great game been playing it years now and still not bored with it
easy to learn, addictive and very simple gameplay
It's been decades since I first played this game, and I still revisit it at least once a year. For me, it's perfection.
its a modern day classic, It stands out as the best top down franchise in my opinion
Great game, lots to learn in terms of the different races and their strengths etc. Good for strategy and building civilisations
The greatest RTS of all time, still holds up after all this time
Works well, the only thing is that when entering text into any text field it is not visible until confirming.
very good in all regards, a timeless classic
Grew up playing this game and I love coming back to it periodically for a hit of nostalgia.
an All time classic.. this game is perfect. 60 hours is just steam I have Thousands of hours going back to disc play,.,,
One of the classic Key-Stone RTS games. Everything from the controls, UI, music, and graphics of this game are exceptional. And for anyone 30+yo; this will take you back to your childhood! <3
This game has been ruined. It seems that every update makes the game slower to load and less responsive in game play. It is time that such updates were reviewed and removed.
This game was my childhood. I played against the Viper in the old multiplayer and he beat me so bad I have never forgotten it. I remember I would ask other players if they knew Viper because I wanted a rematch. That guy is literally the world champion now. He is one of my heroes.
Знаком с игрой три месяца. Было тяжело учиться играть после варкрафта 3. Очень интересные кампании.
