Age of Mythology: Retold
Age of Mythology: Retold is a remastered version of the 2002 real-time strategy classic Age of Mythology. Players manage civilizations inspired by Greek, Norse, and Egyptian mythologies, commanding human armies and legendary monsters while invoking the powers of gods to shape the battlefield. Built on the Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition engine, the remake features overhauled visuals, updated animations, and a symphonic reimagining of the original soundtrack. With modern design enhancements and expanded options, it offers a refreshed experience for both returning fans and new players.

Review coverage
Critic signal strength
Numeric critic scoring uses full scored reviews once available. Review-in-progress scores act as temporary early signal only until full review scores exist. Unscored reviews still count as coverage, but they are not included in the critic average.
