In this article, I’ll take a look at every Age of Empires game (Age of Mythology included), ranking them from worst to best, and exploring how each one contributed to the evolution of the series.

The list, according to the article:

  1. Age of Empires: Mobile
  2. Age of Empires: The Age of Kings (Nintendo DS)
  3. Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition
  4. Age of Empires: Definitive Edition
  5. Age of Empires IV
  6. Age of Mythology: Retold
  7. Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition

    Not quite the same series, but also Microsoft. Rise of Nations. Would be nice to see that one have a remake.

    Anyway, Age of Empires 1. (Original edition) will always be my favorite, even though it’s not what people now should be playing.

    That is definitely 2 Definitive. (With the Rome expansion bringing 1 DE into that game 😄)

      I never played Rise of Nations or Empire Earth back in the day. But I’ve seen enough about them that I would love for either (or both!) of them to receive a good definitive edition.

        Empire Earth was also nice indeed. But for current repeatability RoN definitely holds up much better. I think that one is still fun.
