Vandal \ - 85 Age of Empires 4 IS A Great Strategy Game That Modernizes The Formula of the Series And That Is Tremendously Fun, Although It Does Not Manage To Shine AS Much AS Its Predecessors.
COGconnected - 84 Despite the fact that it s looking in the rearview mirror at least as much as it s looking forward, there s no denying that Age of Empires IV captures the addictive gameplay and mechanical accessibility of the earlier games in the franchise. It looks great, if not entirely new, and the flow of building, combat, research, and resource management is enjoyable as always. The documentary-style campaigns are engaging and immersive. What holds Age of Empires IV at arm s length from masterpiece status is its determination not to rock the boat, its slightly underwhelming feature set at launch, and some very minor annoyances from previous titles that really should be a thing of the past. Will I be digging deep into Age of Empires IV? Absolutely.
Stevior - 80 The strategic polish of two decades is on display in Age of Empires 4, both in the history of this series and the pedigree of the developer. Relic has wrapped an interesting if slightly flawed single player experience around what is a superb strategy game. You ll probably know if you want to play this one, but if you just think medieval warfare is pretty cool and you really like the centuries where England and France just kept invading each other, I recommend you put aside any fears of fast clicking and micromanagement and just jumping in, just avoid that multiplayer menu until you are absolutely ready.
VGC - 80 Newcomers may find it overwhelming, or slightly slow going in the early stages, but the campaign offers a great introduction to the genre, and the building blocks of Age of Empires. Don t be surprised if you sit down to play a quick game, and then suddenly look at the clock to find that 3 hours have passed, your tea has gone cold, and the army that you ve been meticulously building has been wiped by a garrison of archers you completely missed.
VG247 - 80 Age of Empires 4 is as multifaceted as the events it depicts. It s more ambitious than other AoE games in handling its content and inspirations, but also far more reserved in changing the fundamentals. There s no need to change what works already, though a few additional gameplay flourishes could have helped AoE 4 feel more fresh and exciting. The campaigns are robust, but the missing content stands out in its absence. That s especially true considering Age of Empires 4 is a full-priced release, though being on Game Pass makes it a more appealing prospect. What s here is still more than enough to be getting on with, but lIke any good strategist, World s Edge is planning ahead for the long game.
Worth Playing - 79 It s that safety in embracing the past that represents Age of Empires 4 s most obvious flaw. In many ways, it plays and feels like the game is simply Age of Empires 2 with a very well applied fresh coat of paint. Love letter or no, between the rough issues with the campaign and the reuse of the multiplayer, it feels more like a remaster of an older game than of a new entry into the series. It is not easy to please fans of the long-running franchise while also attempting to attract new ones to it, and Age of Empires 4 finds itself in a strange no-man s land between those two goals.
PC Gamer - 77 A worthy new entry in the legendary series that s equal parts progressive and dated.
Screen Rant - 60 While there is nothing especially groundbreaking about Age of Empires 4 s formula, it should manage to scratch a very particular nostalgic itch for fans and offer a starting point for beginners to begin their own journey through history.
