Should you buy Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition? Obviously I recommend Aoe2! But how does Aoe2 DE compare to previous versions? This Game Review is intended for who haven't played Age of Empires II in a while. In this Game Review of Aoe II DE, I go over the new features and a comparison to Aoe2 HD. I will post major patches on Twitter.

This is a review of major confirmed confirmed gameplay improvements, 4 new civilizations (Bulgarians, Cumans, Lithuanians, Tatars), new features, improved new AI, and my opinion of the entire game on release. AoE 2 DE is a complete remaster of the original Age of Empires 2. This video contains full match gameplay, showcases the new graphics, the multiplayer with dedicated servers, the remastered soundtrack, comparisons to the original and Aoe2 HD and an in-depth overview of the Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition features. This project took so much work to produce so I really appreciate the support. Thank you as always.

I really hope you all enjoyed this review. It was so much work with so little time which is why I focused on the writing and had less footage than I'd normally want. I am exhausted. I think it turned out well though. Next video is on something else, probably Pokemon Sword & Shield but I need a bit of time to relax and beat the game first. Expect me to stream it this weekend!

Thank you for letting me branch out in peace. It means a lot to me. Special thanks to T-West and all of my supporters.
