Age of Empires: Definitive Edition Review

The real-time strategy game from the 90’s which changed the RTS genre forever is back in 2018. This remastered game is developed by Forgotten Empires and published by Microsoft Studios.

Reborngamers Review :

From the looks of the Definite Edition, it's so clear that Microsoft studios are pitching this game not to the 90’s Veteran’s alone but to the Modern gamers as well. The game which literally changed the RTS genre in the 90’s. The game which many veteran gamers remember playing. The players will definitely remember the sounds hssh-whoa when a unit is recruited and the iconic wololo from the priest all the good things are in this game too. The developer's aim was to improve the AI ‘s pathfinding, but that issue still persists in the game. The models which have been created as 3d models have been rendered back to 2d images because this game still runs in a 2d Engine with a 2d map. The models look better and the animations are much more stylish. The soundtrack is exceptional in this game. But the UI is still outdated and can't find any development done to it.

For the veteran gamers, all the knowledge will flow through automatically once they start playing. A true Skirmish based RTS, where you have to fight for the finite resources are still lively in this game, but it feels more organic in this series. Whether its gathering foo or building and defending a wonder still can be felt Unique and magical from the old days. The enhancements to the series are Control Groups, Multiple building order and population limit increased which are the main ones to watch.

The civilizations are totally 16 in numbers, each one having it's few certain units but most units are common. You may still find the amazing gameplay hold up to the modern era. The main campaign has 10 single player campaigns where some of us veterans have come to love history, this game has its unique feature and it is still very engaging because of some of the historical accuracies in the campaign. The technical upgrades are just amazing, particularly the expanded zoom feature is wonderful.

If you are into Multiplayer welcome back. Remember the 90’s where they had ping issues and crashes, all those good things and still present in this definitive edition. Apart from the good single player campaigns, you will not find any real enjoyment in multiplayer.It's tedious to progress through the Microsoft Store app.

Verdict :

A game which suits best for the AOE Fans. If you are a New gamer who wants to try the old RTS, this game can be much more interesting to you. All reviews aside we have to praise the developers for trying to bring back the game which changed many gamers life and the hard work put into the game not to remaster its roots but to tweak it that its relevant in 2018.

A truly classic RTS

Good 4k Upgrade

Soundtrack as awesome from the old days

New features are satisfying

Multiplayer Issues Persist

Building and unit diversity still lacks

Total War: Warhammer 2 Review

Total War: Warhammer is a real-time tactic and turn-based strategy game by the creative assembly and was published by Sega.This game is the sequel to the Total war: Warhammer Series.

Reborngamers Review :

A game which is considered to be a sequel doesn’t look like one instead, it's like an Expansion pack for us. There are New Factions, new features, improvements and enhancements which all attribute to an expansion, not a Sequel. Having said that this game has a big and long map, with an excellent campaign to play through. Even though the available factions are limited, they are just awesome to play with. The issue with Total war: Warhammer was the introduction of game mechanics, but this one is friendly to its beginners. It will give you all the details about how to get started.

There are 4 main factions to choose from The High Elves, Dark elves, Lizardman and Skaven faction, every faction is so unique and fun to play. It was heartbreaking to not see a fully playable Human faction in the game, but the main factions just let you forget about it. There are non-playable factions such as dwarfs, vampires but doesn't have an impact on this game. Even the minor details in this game have been thought out in an excellent manner.For Ex: When you start a battle you will have three options to execute, Fight battle auto-resolve and Retreat, the game just gives you the factions speech when you hover over the option.

We have to praise the campaign of the game, amazingly executed strategic depth with great graphics and a very big, good looking map. Its campaign is just great. The storyline is so powerful where there is a vortex in the center of everything and every faction must try to reach it by performing rituals, this upgrade is new to the series where you compete with your enemies for a contested endgame goal. Waypoints are how you can progress through these rituals, earn it by capturing cities or doing issued quests.When a race has enough waypoints they can perform the ritual.

There are total five rituals you have to perform to get to the endgame.Every time you perform a ritual you will be attacked my chaos forces to stop the rituals when an enemy tries to perform a ritual you can send an AI army to stop it, they are called the intervention army(Pay gold For the army) or you can go ahead and fight them with your army. Decision making will be important in this part of the game, make your moves correctly. This system is new and its a thrill ride.

In this game, you can pass rites and commandments to an entire province you have control over to receive powerful upgrades. Each and every time your Lord or Hero obtain level up in battles they earn traits and skills you can choose the upgrade for them, you will find it exciting developing their skills. But the units level up needs a lot of work in this game.

The battle system has large-scale armies as it did with the previous installments, but this sequel lets the players use surgical strikes type of attacks on the enemy.The battles are fantastic, whether you are fighting an enemy in open fields or hilltops or a settlement. The strategic depth and visuals are stunning in this game. We just found the siege battles much more fun. when you siege the enemy fortress you have to follow the rules of engagement like building siege towers, battering rams getting your units to the control point or ultimately eliminating your enemies.The AI will be competitive.

Diplomacy has always lacked in the War hammer series but in this game it is balanced. The economy will determine how fast you advance through the game, you must build or upgrade your buildings to even afford an army, creating a new army with a lord is much harder in this game. The main issue in this game is the loading time it takes between tactical and strategy maps, we had to wait for a good amount of time in between battles which is excruciating.

Verdict :

We thought this game would be the hated game in the franchise which turned out to be a fantastic game in the series. It is fresh, Big and daring, and it has gained its spotlight with its own might.

Fresh, Big and daring game

New factions are just amazing

Got a new huge world to explore

Unit types are excellent

Depth and details of monsters

Minimum Factions

So hard to support 3 or 4 armies

Lacks in diplomacy

Huge loading times

Stellaris Review

Stellaris is a 4X grand strategy video game published and developed by Paradox Interactive. Stellaris's gameplay as with all 4x games is managing your empire, space exploration, warfare and diplomacy with other spacefaring civilizations.

Reborngamers Review :

As stellaris starts it gives you a good feeling about the game, its earlier gameplay is amazing, the visuals of the game are good, with space exploration and finding other civilizations and getting into the technology advancements, its all great in the start, but as the games go into the middle playtime, you find the pace of the game decreases and the game gets dull and boring you just want to quit the game and do something else, its like repeating the same steps again and again.

The combat in the game is real-time and units production and variety in units are satisfying, detecting anomalies with your scientific heroes is good, you can spend hours in exploration and other things still the game drags you down to a halt. A 4x game which promises great stuff and looks amazing but falls too short of its mark, but with updates this game can turn into a classic, it has the potential to become one.

Verdict:

Not a 4x strategy game to remember.

The Grand scale of strategy

Amazing early gameplay

Real-time space battles

Visually the game looks good

Exploration has been implemented properly

Mid game is dull

Unresponsive AI

Dawn of War 3 Review

The Long awaited gaming sensation is back, War has once again begun in the planet of Acheron with 3 rival factions, the mighty space marines, the greedy orks and the ambitious Elder, tip the balance of battles by taking control of towering war machines.

Reborngamers Review :

Don't get us wrong the game is good, but when compared to its predecessors it's not fulfilling the expectations. We are die-hard fans of Dawn Of War series, it's not up to our expectations. The storyline is not heavy enough, and its faction heroes are Over dominant in single player as well as multiplayer.

The campaign in this game is long but it lacks inspiration and thrilling experience which the previous dawn of the war games gave us.No option is available for you in the campaign for choosing your own faction which you want to play. Instead, the game dictates in which faction you should play, we just want to play in our terms, not the developer's terms.

The factions strength's are pretty equal in this game. The resource management of the game is by capturing controlled points and holding on to it which is good. As Previously said the heroes are Op but you cant win the campaign with that unit alone, you will need other units to get the real dawn of war experience, we felt the game has delivered in that aspect. The usual units like Assault Marines, predator tanks are available and its fun. The new Behemoth units bring Awe to the game which is awesome.The main flaw of this game is that it doesn't let you make tactical and strategic decisions. It just forces you to attack, attack, and keep attacking in the campaign while consistently switching between factions. This system has failed miserably.

But still, it's enjoyable and satisfying of killing the orcs with your space marines., the game looks good both in graphics and in gameplay measures, and it has good large scale battles. They have tried a new approach to the game with the usual aspects. It's a shame that it didn't work out well.

Verdict:

For us its a disappointment to the series which had the potential of a very good game. Not worth the praise for a dawn of war game.

The power Of Mass Battles

Combat Experience is great

Sound Design is good

Technical hiccups are minimum

Good strategic and tactical plays

Hughely lacks storyline

Dull Campaign

No choice in faction selection
