DO NOT BUY Age of Empires 4 - Very Disappointing Game

Longtime Age of Empires fan, he finds the fourth game’s oversaturated, generic aesthetics childish and unlike the originals’ gritty style. He calls the unchanged gameplay shallow, preferring Total War and Civilization for deeper tactics, larger armies, and more immersive combat. Poor camera controls and echoing audio reinforce his conclusion; he recommends it only to casual players and rates it 2.9/10.

This continues his pattern of abandoning games when novelty, immersion, and strategic depth disappoint.
