Age of Mythology: Retold review

Age of Mythology: Retold places third by adding mythology to the Age formula at a lower price than either Age of Empires game. The Steam page describes campaigns spanning 50 missions, from Troy to Midgard and Egypt, and four pantheons to choose from: Greek, Norse, Egyptian and Atlantean. Gods give you powers such as lightning storms and earthquakes, and your army mixes humans with myth units such as Centaurs, Trolls and Mummies. Multiplayer is co-op or competitive with cross-platform play, and the Arena of the Gods mode is new to this version. It costs $29.99, and 90% of 10,545 English Steam reviews are positive. The minimum spec needs 8 GB of RAM, 25 GB of storage and an AVX-capable CPU, and the Chinese pantheon from the Immortal Pillars expansion costs extra.
