Age Of Empires 2 Restores The Old Version For Players On PS5 And Adds New Content!

A very classic real-time strategy game Age of Empires 2 was officially released on PS5 on May 6. It was originally only available on PC and was popular all over the world, so this update to the game platform caused a great response.

If you are considering adding this game, it is worth reading our analysis. I will analyze the game performance, the current problems in the game, and whether it is worth our investment.

Game Introduction

Whether you are an early PC player or a passerby who has never touched this game, this current version basically meets everyone’s needs. It has a series of updates and new content. Next, I will briefly introduce it to players who are not familiar with this game.

Age of Empires 2 was first released in 1999. In this version, players can control many civilizations in history and build an empire. Players need to collect resources, build buildings, manage economic, cultural and technological development, and train powerful armies to fight against enemies.

Updates

In 2019, the game released a remastered version, including the previous version and the new content in the expansion pack. The current Ultimate Edition has made a major upgrade to the original version, and this historic game is now fully adapted to modern hardware.

It is equipped with 4K ultra-clear picture quality, and the buildings, terrain and other pictures you can see in the game are more exquisite and detailed than in the past, providing players with a more realistic gaming experience.

In addition, there are some improvements to the soundtrack in the game, and the music has become clearer and more delicate, allowing players to have some new feelings while nostalgic.

Ultimate Edition of the game also includes all the content of the previous versions, as well as all the expansion packs and updates since its release.

Now in the game, you can explore Lords of the West and create your own empire in Dynasties of India. In addition, there are more new campaigns and new civilizations waiting for you to explore.

Game Price

Next, let’s talk about the price of each version.

First of all, the standard version of the game, which includes the main game and the expansion version, is priced at $39.99. This version is recommended for some players who are new to the game and just want to try it out for nostalgia. For most people, this price is quite cost-effective for such rich content.

In addition, the game also has a premium version priced at $59.99. This version has additional rewards and priority experience privileges for future expansion packs compared to the standard version. If you want to explore the game in depth, this version is very suitable.

Adjustments In PS5

Because the game was originally run on a computer, it was operated with a mouse and keyboard. So it takes a lot of effort for the developers to run smoothly on PS5.

Maintaining a high level of frame rate at all times is the key to making such a fast-paced large-scale game run smoothly. The developer has improved the Dual Sense controller, and coupled with the powerful hardware of PS5, you can play the game smoothly even when hundreds of Units are online at the same time.

Existing Problems

Like other large-scale games that have more or fewer problems, this game also has some bugs that need to be fixed. Some players reported that in the early access and beta versions, the game sometimes crashes when using mods. In addition, there are some minor UI glitches, that is, some buttons and options in the game cannot be used normally. Sometimes, frame drops occur.

These problems need to be fixed by the developers, and players need to wait patiently for subsequent updates.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of PS5 Version

Advantages

The game screen on PS5 looks very beautiful. Whether it is zooming in to see the entire tribe or zooming out to see the details in the empire, the picture is impeccable and brings a brand new visual effect.

Secondly, the excellent soundtrack also adds color to the game. Rich music can set off the atmosphere of the game, add some magnificent momentum to the game, and allow you to truly immerse yourself in the game.

In addition, the new content in the expansion pack adds a strong touch to the already colorful game.

Finally, the game has multiple modes. Whether you want to play alone or want to play with friends, this game has corresponding modes to satisfy you. Especially in multiplayer mode, you can play against players from all over the world.

Disadvantages

The first thing to mention about the disadvantages is the game’s bugs. UI glitches and frequent game crashes make players feel frustrated and very unimpressive to our gaming experience. In addition, this game is a large game that requires a lot of content to be managed. For novices who are new to this game, it is difficult to get started and requires a lot of time to learn.

The rich game content, such as collecting resources, participating in large-scale battles, etc., has a heavy workload, which is very time-consuming for every player. You may spend a lot of time on this game without realizing it.

In general, this game is still worth investing in. It can be said to be its best version so far. If you are still hesitating whether to join, my suggestion is to join!
