“Is pretty good! but it already has many DLC that are quite clearly stripped from the base game to then be sold off as dlc later on. so sad is the addiction to money that everything just meets the minimum requirement”
— a player, Steam review · 142 hrs played“Age of Mythology Retold returns the way a classic should polished, confident, and clearly built with respect for what made the original special in the first place. This feels less like a simple visual upgrade and more like a thoughtful reimagining that understands its roots…”
— a player, Steam review · 25 hrs played“*[sample]* : Please refer to EDIT(2026/04/28) Age of Mythology is for me a very nostalgic game, it never had the footprint of Empires, but it always had more character. The game is good, and from what I've played, retold does a good job of polishing it up for modern machines.…”
