Do note, I wasn’t able to test out these changes as the servers weren’t online.

There’s also integrated leaderboards, spectator modes, cross-play, new maps, and improved game balance. Multiplayer now has server-based matchmaking, and is said to be similar to AOE 2: DE’s matchmaking system. And that doesn’t even touch on all the multiplayer, singleplayer, campaign, and UI improvements.

AOE 3: DE comes with the main game as well as its previous two expansions, two new civilizations, 4K textures, new “The Art of War” challenge missions, three types of UI styles, extended zoom levels, improved graphical effects, an enhanced soundtrack, pre-made starter decks, mod support, and game modes. Phew. Microsoft has determined four major areas requiring improvements, as well as a bunch of stuff that will provide an overall improved experience. So, I’ll instil a question at the start of this review has AOE 3: DE seen worthwhile improvements to make it worthy of your digital library? Or is it merely a facelift without any major quality of life changes?īut first, let’s start at the beginning what are these changes? Well, there’s a lot. Yet now, players have finally been graced with its presence. The Age of Empires series has seen HD remakes and Definitive Editions in the past, but never for Age of Empires 3. A whopping 15 years later and publisher Xbox Game Studios, alongside developers Tantalus Media and Forgotten Empires, has released Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition. It’s a cherished title and has seen a devoted player base since its release. It’s since received a score of 81 on Metacritic.

Six years after that game’s release, Age of Empires 3 was then released to PC in October of 2005. As a result, strategy games have held a special place in my heart, and it’s a genre that I’ll always find time for. Yes, the amazing AOE 2 was basically a free game. The first real-time strategy game I played was Age of Empires 2, and that was because it came as a free game in a cereal box.
