Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition

un clasico que nunca muere

I first played this game when I was around 15–17. We used to play LAN matches with friends, team vs team or free-for-all, while I spent countless hours playing through the campaigns on my own. This is probably the game that first sparked my love for history. I still remember the Saladin and Frederick Barbarossa campaigns almost by heart. And after playing the Genghis Khan campaign, I became genuinely fascinated by him and the history of the Mongols. People often call Alexander the Great the greatest conqueror in history, but after that campaign, Genghis Khan became number one for me — and honestly, I still see him that way today. Years later, Definitive Edition gave this game a new life. Better graphics, an active playerbase, new content, and it's still being supported after all these years. Some of the recent updates and DLCs feel a bit strange to me, but that's a small complaint. For me, it's an easy 9/10. One of those games I can think about years later and immediately get good memories and that warm nostalgic feeling
