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!
