I don’t know what some of my age friends here in this forum are saying. Live audience liked it, the twitter went crazy, critics praised it, youtubers went nuts, pro Age of Empires (who frankly live Age of empires 365 days) said they love how it looks…you can all google this. I didn’t make this up. Majority liked it.
Plus here is one of my early posts comparing games people say “Oh AgeIV looks like that game!!!”
Gameplay is where whole franchise hangs, if they mess that up, then oh boy!
