Today, I’m traveling back in time and rekindling my love for a real time strategy classic- Age of Empire II. As a teenager, I was obsessed with the original Age of Empires II. I spent hundreds of hours playing the game back on an old PC that my grandad built for me, and would experiment with every aspect of the game from the story campaigns to building my own maps. I even remember buying the PS2 port of the game and thinking what a waste of money it was because the mouse and keyboard controls had not translated well to the dualsense.

Since then I've always wished that a good version of the game was available on console and now I can finally say that is the case. Find out why Age of the Empires II: Definitive Edition is the best version of this game and how Forgotten Empires translated the magic of this classic PC game to the Xbox.
