O mais refinado age of empires, e certamente o que mais tiveram carinho na hora de diversificar jogabilidade e torna-lo menos "hardcore". No entanto, poucas civilizações e abdicação de certos recursos como muros pontuais e esquivar de projeteis foi ir um pouco longe na "casualidade"
A great return for the series, after so many years. Clearly heavily inspired by how Age II operated rather than III, but still with a strong overall production value. The game is quite solid overall; the cutscenes are all very well done with excellent visual clarity and many aesthetically pleasing moments.
The Mongol campaign is clearly the highlight here, where you are incredibly powerful and leave an incredible trail of devastation. One of the best and most enjoyable moments in the entire Age of Empires history is the mission to create a super-trebuchet to destroy the walls of Xiangjiang.
Another incredibly fun mission is defending against the Mongols on the Ugra River.
That said, the pathfinding isn't as good, and the UI options aren't as robust as in previous games, making you struggle quite a bit with the keyboard and mouse. Just for that reason, it possibly ranks as the least enjoyable among the three good games in the series (the first one is easily ignorable), but still something entirely worth playing.

Still fun, but not as good as 2.
Well age of empires 4 is not bad. It has all the greatest hits, it is a decent revival of the genre defining series. I still prefer it over the modern day alternatives.
I still dont quite bring myself to like it. The story is not told the same mesmerizing way the previous editions were. The gameplay is more nuanced maybe, but it just doesnt click like age of empires used to for me. Maybe I just grew up, dont have the time for the slow paced RTS gameplay. So I jumped back into Age of empires 2 and I was hooked like the old days. It just doesnt have the charm style and storytelling of its predecessors, swapping them out for polish.
I guess its a matter of preference. Still it is a decent game. I cannot say that it is not worth trying, especially if you are an RTS aficionado. Give it a try!

I've said many times in the past I would love for something to be a sequel to two things at the same time. It's why I'm still mad they cancelled the 21 Jump Street movie that was also a Men in Black movie. This game, which is both Age of Empires 4 and The History Channel 2, is as close as I've ever gotten to seeing my dream, and buddy, it's pretty damn good. The Rus campaign is my favorite thing I've ever done in an RTS, full stop.
Age of Empires IV is a welcome return to the formula of Age II, with notable improvements and variations in gameplay. However, it does fall short in terms of the number of civilizations available to play. Despite this, it’s a great game that successfully revives the spirit of its predecessor while introducing fresh elements to keep players engaged.
