If you like real time strategy, you can't have missed this game.
If you like medieval stuff, you can't have missed this game.

Even after all these years, this game is still fantastic. I think no other real time strategy game has achieved what AOE2 has.

The graphic is still fine, the mechanics are ok, the fatcions diversity is there and the game overall is kinda balanced.
Also the AI has enough difficulty levels to be challenging for almost everyone.

This game is overall positive.

The environment graphic is fine, the voice acting (of the main character) is great, the atmosphere is great.
It spooks at times, then when you get what's the mechanic of every "scene" it gets a little less spooky and quite..boring at times (i guess it's my problem tho, the game isn't really long but i easily get bored when a game uses similar mechanics on various sections).

If you want to live some immersive experience with a good story and great environmental music, that's your game.

Overall i'd say from 7 to 8.

Worth the Summer Sale price (9.49 euros) not worth the full prize (just due to his lenght).

Non ha niente di Tomb Raider.

Se vi piace un gioco di avventura monopercorso e senza scervellamenti, allora fa per voi, se vi piace Tomb Raider o un gioco di ruolo in cui abbiate un minimo di libertà, non è questo.
