Age of Empires III is an absolutely classic game. Lots of mileage for your money! Still runs perfect despite being an older game! Highly recommend. Still holds up as a great RTS. Also lets you feel some sense of progress as you upgrade your city between fights.

I've been playing Age of Empires II for a few years now and I have to say that it is one of my favorite strategy games. The game mechanics are incredibly well-executed and the graphics are incredibly impressive for a game of this type. The game is also incredibly expansive and allows for very strategic warfare and resource management. The game also has great AI opponents to play against and a very active online community.
That being said, there are a few cons to the game. It can be a bit too complicated for some players and the online matchmaking system can be a bit inconsistent. Additionally, the single-player campaign can feel a bit too easy and repetitive at times.
Overall, though, Age of Empires II is an incredibly well-crafted game that offers a great experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great strategy game.

In short, if you play through only the campaigns it is about 200 hours of content. The well-done game has a thriving community.
If you liked AOE 2 as a kid, or just like RTS games where you need macro and micro.
It is a good game.
VERY high hours per dollar spent for this game.
The game still receives updates and is played by more players than AOE 3 and 4..........
GFX looks nice and preserved the art style.
Games run a 2+decade engine so the only single core is used, in big battles having PC with strong single core performance is advised.
Yeah AOE 2 from 1999, DE is the second remaster.

- The game and the price
- Has many sponsored trounies for the pros
- Extreme amount of content to price ratio..
- Many player have high skill ceiling,hard to start if you want to play MP in serious competitive manner
