Wild, aoe3 was my first experience with a non-blizzard rts like 15 years ago. Got peer pressured out of checking it out again over the years because 'game old'

Yeah, if you weren't already aware, all 4 of the main Age games got remasters, starting with Age of Empires: Definitive Edition in 2018, and most recently ending with Age of Mythology: Retold last year. And they have all (with the partial exception of the first one) been extremely well-done. In many ways they feel like completely new, modern RTSes, while retaining the spirit that made them great back in the late '90s/early '00s.
