Age of Mythology: Retold reviews are in — Here's a round-up of what everyone is saying about this strategy remake

As a seasoned strategy game enthusiast with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I must admit that Age of Mythology: Retold has truly taken me back to my roots. Having played the original game in its glory days, I can confidently say that this remake is an absolute triumph.


The gods are back in action, and mythical forces are once again available for players to command. 

Here arrives Xbox Game Studios and World’s Edge’s reimagined version of Age of Mythology, and with its Premium Edition launch, numerous reviews from various sources are now available for reading. As more reviews continue to pour in, as is common, we can now delve into the general consensus among reviewers regarding this remake of the 2002 strategy game.

Although there’s not complete agreement, the majority of critics have expressed favorable opinions about the visual makeover the game has undergone. They consistently praise the improvements made to the game design, such as the introduction of reusable God Powers and the controller compatibility across Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC.

Of course, Windows Central also has a review up courtesy of yours truly. In my Age of Mythology: Retold review, I wrote that “If you loved the original Age of Mythology, this is an absolute must-grab. For newcomers that are intrigued by the premise but concerned around the idea of trying a strategy game, I would still say to give it a try. Between the gameplay changes, controller support, and accessibility options, this realm of gods and monsters is a fantastic way to start out your strategy journey. “
