I’ll try not to get too carried away about it… but as a bit of a history buff, seeing the documentary segments I was quite blown away by the production values… they would not look out of place as a stand alone Blu-ray release and are full of fascinating information (the contemporary recreation of a castle looks like it would be brilliant to see in person). Every now and then you also unlock video segments that go over the battles but also technologies of the time and other historical pieces of information to help bring these time periods to life. As you progress and clear levels, you are told (via a narrator with a lovely voice and presence) of the historic events related to your battles. Age Of Empires IV takes that concept and makes it even more of a brilliant choice for history buffs because not only do you get to take part in these epic battles but you also get a high quality documentary accompanying the campaigns. So I was keen to see what the series had developed into and I was well and truly impressed with what I found.įor those who aren’t familiar with the series, essentially it’s an RTS game with an emphasis on historic battles. I can’t remember the last time I played an Age Of Empires game but it may have been a copy that came with a box of cereal (we could be talking a couple of decades ago).
