The game really goes out of it's way to make it more accessible to newer players, from the aforementioned in-depth tutorial, and what should be highly commended, the game can run on just about any laptop or PC.
The addition of mods, coming early in 2022, will also add endless replayability for fans going forward.Īn in-depth hour-long tutorial is smartly framed as the retelling of an old civilisation and how they grew, and is a great way to introduce fans old and new to the mechanics on display. In other words, the game is a tremendous timesink and represents extraordinary value for money. In playing this game for the review, an intended hour-long session that began at 7 o'clock in the evening turned into an accidental odyssey that ended at half 1 in the morning. 'Age Of Empires 4' threads the needle beautifully.Īny good RTS game is one you could boot up for a quick spin and end up playing a 6-hour session almost by mistake.
The very best RTS games hit that elusive sweet spot of being easy enough to attract novices, but having enough deep and satisfying gameplay mechanics to keep hardcore fans coming back. In a word, it's a brilliantly crafted, welcome return for the series.
The franchise has been relatively quiet over the last decade following 2011's ill-fated 'Age Of Empires Online' but the franchise is back with a new update for the modern age. Now, next time you see either Batman Begins or The Dark Knight, you’ll think of the Forgotten One whenever Commissioner Loeb speaks.The 'Age of Empires' series has achieved the success that many real-time history strategy games could only dream of massive commerical success and critical acclaim. You can check out his complete filmography by clicking here. He also played roles in many other films and even other video games like LittleBigPlanet 2 in which he voiced Avalon Centrifuge. He played Commissioner Loeb in both of those films. The Forgotten One’s voice actor is actually someone you may recognize:Ĭolin McFarlane voiced the Forgotten One in “Resurrection” and you may remember him from both of Christopher Nolan’s Batman films: Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Initially, I thought the voice actor for the Forgotten One was the same one that voiced Cornell in the main game. So, you may be wondering just who the voice of the demon is.
In “Resurrection” the Forgotten One was given quite an, for lack of a better word, epic voice. As of this time you all most likely already got a chance to go through Castlevania: Lords of Shadow’s final DLC, “Resurrection.” The DLC featured a fierce, multi-staged battle with the Forgotten One who was also featured as a boss in Castlevania: Lament of Innocence for the Playstation 2.
