Age of Mythology: Retold
Age of Mythology is perhaps the game I have the fondest memories of – growing up, it made a great impression on me (as did Age of Empires 2).
Thus, it was a pleasure to revisit the game. The updated graphics are great, a truly beautiful game (almost on par with Age of Empires 3).
Perhaps I will host an Age of Mythology tournament at some stage (and perhaps an Age of Empires IV one as well).
One thing made me chimpmaxx, however, and that is the rework of the God portraits – especially for Helios. The Helios artwork always served as an inspiration for my own hair, and now they changed it!
Freya and Skadi also had nicer portraits in the first edition. Some portraits are quite epic though (attached pictures of Apollo and Thor).
You must forgive my autism here, I am a Sensitive Artist, after all.
I have completed the Greek and Egyptian parts of the campaign, so far so good. Perhaps I will try a 1v1 at some stage.
Lastly, it is fun to show my elder daughter the various Gods, heroes, and monsters in the game that she has encountered elsewhere (i.e. in stories I read for her).
Good times!
