Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition does everything you could want in a full-scale remaster. The graphical/audio upgrades are absolutely impressive and make the game feel fresh, while the gameplay enhancements move it almost seamlessly into the modern age. Throw in a brand new campaign and the ability to toggle between the classic gameplay along with the new, and there’s a ridiculous amount of depth built into the game.
And somehow, we’re getting ALL of that for only $20. Even if you own the previously released HD version, there’s a lot of reason to make another purchase with the Definitive Edition. It’s going to easily occupy my time until Age of Empires IV finally arrives.
