I picked up the Definitive Edition of Age of Empires 2 on sale last week after they released a new dlc update. It was still a bit overpriced for a 25 year old game at like $(US)10, but I’ve definitely gotten my money’s worth so far.
I’m definitely not an RTS gamer and I’m not really interested in the multiplayer but the campaigns have been a lot of fun. I really wasn’t expecting there to hundreds of hours of just campaigns content so it’s been a pleasant surprise.
The new campaign missions seem a lot longer than what I remembered of the original campaigns. I like that they tutorials now give you some strategy, too.
I only purchased the base DE so I don’t have access to the DLC campaigns. I figured I’d pick them up down the line if I liked the game. Apparently I picked some harder campaigns first though because I just started with the African ones on the first page.
Im down to playing that game against the comp, with liberal use of the pause button. Not the pvp of my younger days. But considering I borrowed and cracked it back then, and only paid for it the first time on steam some years ago, man that game has given me some great returns.
