Age of Empires IV: Anniversary Edition Reviews

Amazing game and relaxing...So refreshing to combine history with pleasure

Liked that it was better graphics and different civilizations than the 3rd and that it has an indepth history aspect that I like.

Absolutely love this game. I enjoyed all the previous ones as a kid and it was awesome to relive the memories. Highly recommend this game for rts lovers

Very fun game, bringing back the OG style of age of empires in a new coat. The history is fantastic, and the little real life documentary style cutscenes are amazing. Very fun game to play.

YES!! Get the DLCs on sale! Great game, really active community and great support from the devs. New DLCs were announced too.

I still need a lot more to play. But I like a lot the combination of game plus historical facts. So far, so good.

I like this game, especially when playing campaign mode, it's like witnessing the battle for yourself at that time. The sound design is very good, especially when the horses are galloping, and the combat equipment effects are also very good when shooting, we can see the trebuchet when it swings.

an excellent, deep game with almost non-stop opportunities to learn and improve. Highly recommend to any who are interested in the RTS genre.

I really wanted to love Age of Empires IV, but it just didn’t feel right. The game is much more fast-paced than older titles, leaving no room for slow, strategic building. Instead of clear, familiar icons, everything is replaced with confusing symbols, making simple tasks frustrating. Worse, there’s no option to save multiplayer games, forcing matches to be rushed instead of carefully planned. It feels like the game is designed for quick, action-heavy play rather than deep strategy. Like many modern games, it’s also been simplified too much, losing the charm and depth that made Age of Empires great for me.

This game is so exceptional. It has stunning graphics. Cool single-player missions with historical battles and beautiful videos with the 4k HDR update. Learning a little bit of world history through a lovely guiding voice. Carefully crafted map with different presets that you can enjoy playing against AIs. Even with slightly randomized geography, LOL. For instance, the mountains have some narrow paths creating additional threats to the defense. However, the AI still needs polishing. After several encounters, you will find their attack pattern and weaknesses. Also still have some bugs. Overall, 10/10 great game.
