Age of Mythology: Retold Builds a Strong Blueprint For The Next God of War Saga

VGChartz’s Mark Nielsen: “All in all, Age of Mythology: Retold is both a solid RTS and reimagining, but a bit of an odd one as well. It brings enough changes to the table to offer a new experience, but at the same time one that is in other ways bound in the past. Both this and its less than optimal visuals make it feel a bit stuck between old and new. For those simply looking for a nostalgia fix, the added features and changes don’t necessarily outweigh the more classical feel of the Extended Edition, which has been out for many years. For completely new players on the other hand, Retold would make for a perfectly good entry point into the RTS genre, if not quite a definitive one. In the end, those likely to find the most enjoyment in Retold might be existing fans of Empires or Mythology who are looking for a shake up, or any players that simply find themselves starved for a good RTS. Ultimately, even if it might not win over everyone, it can’t be denied that Mythology was indeed a tale worth retelling.”
