Age of Mythology: Extended Edition Review (🐋 Depressed Horse * 🐴)
Age of Mythology in my opinion is one of the best games ever made. What SkyBox Labs did with it is infuriating. They could have just upscaled the textures and call it a day. And it would have been glorious.. But this is not what they did.
The extended edition manages to look worse while having performance problems the original never had. The multiplayer is completely unplayable because of desync, stuttering and crashing even in a LAN setting(Original multiplayer worked great). They added unnecessary and out-of-place units to every culture for some reason. They broke the skirmish map AI. The "new" chinese culture is literally nothing but a reskin. If it was any more low effort it wouldn't exist at all.
For what its worth the singleplayer campaigns are somewhat playable despite SkyBox Labs' best efforts. But make no mistake, what SkyBox Labs did here is nothing short of a scam. Shame on them.
