excited to watch you play through on twitch because i want to see what choices you make and how different they act like it actually changes some of the the little tiny things so that's cool uh next news story moving on more reviews are in this time for age of empires four uh it has an NUMBER_TOKEN on metacritic metacritic ign's lena heifer gave it an NUMBER_TOKEN age of empires NUMBER_TOKEN plays it safe a bit too often but really excels when it wanders outside of its very traditional comfort zone the expansive campaigns and offbeat factions like the mongols and the rules are major highlights even when it loses some of its sharpness to a small unit cap frustrating pathfinding and relatively unimpressive graphics for a NUMBER_TOKEN game and then wccf tech's chris wray gave it a NUMBER_TOKEN saying age of empires NUMBER_TOKEN is in almost every way a true sequel to age of empires NUMBER_TOKEN. it plays great and has a few new features that add more tactical elements to combat and how you develop your faction on factions it truly allows them to differentiate themselves from each other there are slight issues such as the population cap that feels very restrictive and the lower quality of unit models but these are minor in what is an otherwise outstanding game and one where an undeniable amount of effort and work has gone into which includes hours of documentary style clips to support the campaign so anybody that wants more trebuchet stuff it's going to deliver for sure uh jokes aside jokes aside mike bro mike you you've been playing age of empires yeah one of the reasons you're popping on the show is to give your thoughts yeah i'm really happy i was able to jump on you know this is one of the big microsoft first party releases and i've got about five hours into it now playing pre or pre-release over here and i've had a ton of fun i'm happy to see the community really celebrating this i'm happy to see the positive reviews and you know so far my first off impressions are really positive it is more age of empire so don't go in thinking that we've changed the wheel here it is age of empires but it's a ton of fun to be back in this franchise that you know and love from the early NUMBER_TOKENs right that's how long this has been around and it's awesome to be in the rock paper scissors unit choice battling system once again and i love everything that age does but i do want to reiterate just like these reviews have said you can go more in depth on all these other people's reviews but what they've done with the campaign and what relic has done to elevate that presentation value really goes a long way it actually is exciting to play it's fun to go into the next campaign level and get this cool documentary style video with NUMBER_TOKENd assets over it and have an awesome history lesson i was really impressed i know we were down on the trebuchet during the presentation but funny enough i can't stop clicking on the traffic videos now the unlockable content so every time you beat uh level in the campaign you will unlock another extra video every time you start a campaign level you have a cool video and it's really really informative fun educational stuff and the way they weave it all together through the campaign missions and keep you like listening engaged really really well
