Fun strategy game, a little time consuming but definitely competitive and fun! I suggest adding friends because the lobby times can be long but definitely worth it! I have played it for a long time and still find it fun and challenging. Great for multiplayer

1. Gameplay & Mechanics:
• Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition refines classic RTS gameplay with smooth mechanics, deep strategy, and well-balanced civilizations. The mix of economy management, base-building, and tactical battles remains engaging, with quality-of-life improvements like auto-scout, but sometimes problem comes with units pathfinding.

2. AI:
• The AI is much improved, offering a real challenge even for veterans. However, at times, it can feel predictable or overly aggressive in higher difficulties.

3. Multiplayer:
• Multiplayer is the heart of the game, featuring ranked matches, casual lobbies, and co-op campaigns. Matchmaking is solid but can sometimes suffer from lag or disconnects.

4. Graphics:
• The remastered visuals look stunning while keeping the nostalgic charm of the original. Units, buildings, and landscapes are beautifully detailed in 4K.

5. Sounds:
• The enhanced soundtrack and re-recorded unit voices add immersion while staying true to the original. Classic sound effects remain satisfying.

6. Performance:
• Generally stable, but large-scale battles can cause FPS drops, especially on lower-end systems. Occasional desync issues in multiplayer.

7. Replayability:
With 39 civilizations, diverse campaigns, skirmish mode, and custom scenarios, the game offers endless replay value. Regular updates and expansions keep it fresh.

8. Content:
Packed with content, multiplayer, mod support, and frequent DLC expansions. It’s the definitive way to experience AoE2, I love new updates and civilizations and waiting for more civilizations and content.

Pros & Cons:
✅ Classic RTS gameplay with modern improvements (excellent)
✅ Massive content with frequent updates (excellent)
✅ Stunning remastered visuals (good)
✅ Strong multiplayer (good)
❌ Poor unit pathfinding (bad)
❌ AI can feel predictable at times (bad somethings)
❌ Occasional multiplayer desync issues (bad somethings)

Final Verdict & Recommendation:
Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is the ultimate RTS experience, blending nostalgia with modern refinements. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer, it’s a must-play for any strategy lover. Highly recommended!

Pros:
Campaigns are great. Not fully historically accurate obviously, but they are very fun and nostalgic. There are tons of campaigns and custom games that you can download from mods sections as well. Combining official campaigns and mods together, there is easily hundreds of hours worth single player content in this game.
Multiplayer vice, have played 1v1 ranked and team games. Black forest games are an amazing experience.

Cons:
Too many paid DLCs at this point. However, I understand that it's required to keep the content coming though.
Civ balance is not where I want it to be, but that's personal.
Pathing is still an issue. Somehow the voobly dudes figured it out better back in the days, get their help!!

Awesome tribute to legend. For me this remake is very well made, nice graphics and gameplay remain true to original. I like that units are speaking their language (based on nation you choose). When you compare this to absolute trash what is AOE:DE you cant belive it was made by same people (maybe they got rid of those who made 1st AOE remake). This game is 10/10 for me. If you are thinking if you should by first AOE remake or this one, take this one.

Age of Empires 2 was my introduction to the world of PC games back in 1999. A quarter of a century later I am still in love with the timeless atmosphere and unique gameplay. The definitive edition has enhanced the base game in every aspect possible. Graphics, Bug Fixes, UI, balance, details, versatility... The constant amazing support, ongoing patches and multiple DLCs are more than a good reason to start over again every now and then. The devs continue to put out amazing additions and details, that players have been wishing for and debating about for years. It offers an enjoyable single player experience for relaxing as well as a very entertaining online community with a competitive ranking system and a lot of great streamers like T90, Dave and Spirit of the Law, who keep producing entertaining and informative content about news, updates and tournaments around the game. Whoever enjoys RTS games, should give this all time favourite a try. The game mechanics are comprehensive, organic and well structured. The ongoing development and support always open new ways for interesting strategies and builds to play around with. Paired with the inherent nostalgia it simply never gets boring.

Simply the GOAT. Inter-generational favourite RTS game. I grew up playing this game (since the days of the first AOE), and I am still not over it. My favourite aspect of this ever-green game is the perfect balance the developers have managed to strike in terms of accurate Historical narrative and the flexibility for the player, the great graphics (DE) without becoming overwhelming, the blended BGM, and the fact that I can spend hours and hours at a stretch on it without getting a headache or eye-burn (something other games in the similar genre have failed miserably to replicate). The campaigns are engaging, and the aspect where there is more than one ways to complete a scenario, is just cherry on top. I love the fact that the developers are constantly working on it, fixing bugs, expanding, adding new stuff, and engaging with the community. This game (from the original release to the DE) has been around for over a quarter of a century now, and still it is the best there is, and ever was in this genre, in my humble opinion.

Thank you AOE team. Strive on!

Age of Empires 2 (2013) on steam stopped working - save games would not load.

When seeking support I was told it was depreciated and to purchase Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition (this game).

Not sure why the devs can release a game on steam, introduce bugs into it via updates, abandon it, and tell people to buy a new version of the same game to be able to continue playing it. Awful, predatory practice.

I cannot recommend this game enough. After countless hours of playing the campaigns, beating the AI with friends, and playing the occasional MP battle, I still don't find myself getting bored with Age of Empires. I believe that what makes this RTS stand out in comparison to others is its diversity. Even when only playing skirmishes, no match is like the one before due to the various maps one can pick and the many civilizations with their different tech trees.
I will say though that the learning curve might seem very steep in the beginning. Do not let this discourage you though since it is worth it once you get the hang of it. My advice is to just take it easy, play a few campaigns to get to know different civilizations and go for some battles against the AI. If you can get some friends on board, it will only enhance your experience. There are even some coop-campaigns you can do together, which can be challenging for players new to the game.
Overall, I would recommend it wholeheartedly.

This is the only edition you’ll need, and if you can, grab it on sale. It's a bummer that the other versions are discontinued, but that’s just how it goes. Honestly, this version is a step up in many ways, especially with the graphics. Thanks to mods, the game is way more oversee-able from a bird's-eye view, and it has a less cartoony, more old-school aesthetic. The buildings snap into place smoothly, and hotkeys are essential—gotta love the auto-scout feature!

Overall, this version is much better than the original Age of Empires 2 and works really well, running optimally. If you're after some nostalgia or want to dive into something more competitive with a clearer overview compared to Age of Empires 4, this game is definitely worth checking out.

I owned the original, the HD version and now the Definitive Edition.
A game with the perfect balance of strategy, economy and warfare. No matter how often you play, it never gets old. Many unique cultures with there individual strengths and hence playstyles, especially with the expansions. Although, of course, some are more "useful" than others.
Now with a little graphical update to make it look more modern.
To make it complete, you have numerous historical campaigns from Europe to Africa to Asia to America.

tl,dr: Highly recommended. Simply a classic. Money well spent.

The satisfaction of building a kingdom, ruling it and profiting from its resources is intense!

More than that, there are wolves to remove, bandits to subdue and, worst of all, the four Bad Guys who plague your very existence. A player who can demolish a castle of the Rat, the Snake, the Pig or the Wolf is a formidable opponent indeed.

Learn what it's like to be ruler of your own demesne! Play Stronghold Kingdoms!

A poor "upgrade" to the original AOE2, and it is a tragedy that the renaissance of AOE2 (compatibility with modern computers, additional civilisations, quality-of-life improvements) culminated in such a bloated engine such as this one. The new modern graphics don't add much and are a departure from the clean style of the original. I paid for this but I prefer to play the old engine (with a few patches).

Not the first, but probably the best RTS of all time. Refreshed with better graphics and quality of life improvements. Just getting back into it after spending most of my AOE time playing AOEII Age of Kings expansion back in the day with the cousins. Picking it back up with the cousins again and enjoying watching the tournaments on various streaming platforms too.

After playing more than 2000 hours since the definite edition came out i might write a recommendation.
I knew the AOE-Franchise from my childhood but i didnt touch the game in 15 years.
THe new definitve edition and a friend of mine brought me back to the game and after a stresful learning curve i have to say its worth the time. im speaking mainly from a competitive player perspective in pvp. compared to other rts macro and strategy are more important than just microing the units. graphics are very nice, even better than aoe4 when you talk about visibility and clearnes for pvp-play. best thing is, the global community is really nice, nothing in comparison to LoL, cs or other big pvp-online-games.
also you can find lot of content on twitch and youtube. i recommend t90official and spiritofthelaw for a start.

one last note to the ranking-system: for beginners i highly recommend to play some pve first but then dont be afraid to start in the ranking-matches and skip the normal game-mod in pvp. yes you will lose the first 10-20 games, but the elo-system will give you fitting opponents after that. smurf-accounts may occur but should be a rarity in age.
when you play normal-pvp "quickplay" the difference between players skill can vary alot. so as a beginner: just dont do that.

if your not into competitive rts the game propably still is way worth the money. there is alot alot alot (!) of campaign-content when you buy the full game-package. with the difficulty on easy you can also enjoy the storylines and dont have to sweat to hard. :-) and just by the way you can play aoe1 within the aoe2-game.

we love this game

This game is extremely fun, but the controls and mechanics are difficult to learn IMO.

I really don’t like how long matches can get, and I dislike how you "lose" your progress when a game or campaign ends, as you can’t continue once it’s finished.

Some campaign missions are, in my opinion, very difficult to beat. I spent over six hours trying to complete The Rising - Joan of Arc.

If you're patient and don’t mind losing, this game is for you. If you don't want to sit down after a stressful day and add even more stress, this game is not for you.

Overall, I don’t like it because I suck at it, and I guess I’m just impatient.
