Age of Empires 4 Review | Is AOE4 Worth it?

Age of Empires IV released on October 28 2021 to Steam, Gamepass for PC, and Windows (Microsoft) some 15 years after the last main edition to the Age of Empires lineup with Age of Empires 3. The full release of age of empires 4 today gives real time strategy, city building, conquest and broader fort/ empire builders something to be excited about - we haven't had considerable new content for a very long time, and even with extra dlc and expansions for Age of Empires 2 and 3, including the anthology and their definitive editions, we haven't truly had a new age of empires game in a while.

Age 4 delivers some lack luster, yet 4K, graphics and reasonable AI and unit pathing (although still quite flawed) to the franchise. It launches with 8 playable factions, a multiplayer mode, sandbox mode, and over 40 missions within the historical campaigns. AoE4 mods and map makers will have to wait - the game isn't launching with that support, even through Steam.

Overall is Age of Empires 4 worth it? Is AoE4 fun? And why buy age 4 when the definitive edition of AoE4 has already come out? In this video review I will answer those questions and provide some feedback and overall verdicts on age of empires 4. I hope that Age of Empires IV will have the staying power previous iterations had, but with a high launch price it seems the barrier to entry is fairly high. Thankfully, the addition of age of empires 4 to the xbox gamepass for pc helps make it, at least temporarily, an easier sell for most.
