Age of Mythology: Extended Edition review | Eurogamer

This 2014 reissue of Age of Mythology includes some robust modding tools as well as a spot on the Steam Workshop, joining the ranks of Skyrim, Portal and dozens of others. The modern modding community and likely indefinite online multiplayer support are therefore the two biggest additions here. Last year, Microsoft Studios released Age of Empires 2 for Steam, and within days the game had over a hundred mods with everything from texture packs to gameplay tweaks to entire separate user-made campaigns. It's still a disappointment to see that, after so long, Age of Mythology doesn't quite hold up to modern RTS standards, but there's enough here - and likely enough coming - to warrant a look regardless.
