Age of Mythology is one of the historical games. Many gaming fans have entertained themselves for long evenings with Age of ...Age of Mythology was released 22 years ago on November 1, 2002.

I hadn't played it much before those 20, years ago. I knew about it, but I was more likely to play more famous games. Age of Empires focuses on the myths and legends of Greek , Egyptian and Norse civilizations. Its remaster is in Age of Mythology: Retold came back again in the second half of this year.
Whether it's right to play this game only online in matches or play as an individual against the PC, or in campaign, is up to you. While the basic mechanics have remained the same as the game twenty years ago, the new version brings a tweak to the mechanics to give the player even more fun on their PC s.

While the old game already supported the computers of its time, the new version fits the modern era where monitors already have 4K resolution and s adapted to that. The new reincarnation of the classic game supports all kinds of resolutions and i in high resolution to the quality is very good.

We played a few matches against PC and the computer thinking (AI) is good. If I don't choose aggressive opponents, I make do with building new buildings and new soldiers. And once I've built enough of them, soldiers and I can attack. It's fun and when you collect enough gold, wood and food, you can in peace gradually build up military units, even better, as needed to defeat opponents.
When it comes to graphics, I must say that it is very good. Each character is very well done, watching the details as he fights his opponent is very entertaining.


Positive Points:

  1. Graphical Enhancements: The new version of the game is optimized for modern devices and resolutions, including 4K monitors, enhancing the gaming experience.
  2. Fun gameplay: The game offers the ability to strategically build military units and manage resources, which is still fun and satisfying for players.
  3. Quality AI: The computer thinking (AI) is rated positively, with the game allowing for adjustable difficulty levels, adding to the variability.

Negative Points:

  1. The game was less popular in the past: The author mentions that he played other, more famous games in his time, suggesting that Age of Mythology did not have as much impact as some other titles.
  2. Still the same basic mechanics: The basic mechanics of the game have remained the same as they were 20 years ago, which may seem too old-fashioned for some players.
  3. Ease of play without an aggressive opponent: If an aggressive opponent is not chosen, the game can become too easy and less dynamic.
