However, I do feel the improved visuals are nice, especially the environments. You, of course, have to consider that this is a 20 year old game so there is only so much they can do. Age of Empires: Definitive Edition has been covered with a coat of 4K paint and it looks pretty good. The most notable things are first of all, of course, the visuals. Of course, if you played the original Age of Empires back in the day, you will want to know if there is more here than just tugs on your nostalgia strings. It was certainly the first one that I remember catching mainstream attention. I know that there are a million games like this out there these days, but Age of Empires was one of the first to do it well. This is a game that let you create an empire from scratch and go through the ages and do what needed to be done to make sure your empire thrived. You have to go back to 1997 in order to talk about the impact that Age of Empires had. Well to celebrate that, Microsoft Studios have released a Definitive Edition of Age of Empires. It is crazy to think that at this point the Age of Empire series is now over 20 years old. I was not really into these types of games back then, but as my dad was so excited about it I actually got into it. Back in 1997 when Age of Empires was first released it was a game that my dad was super into.
