Like most real-time strategy games, Age of Empires 4 turns out to be quite heavy on the CPU, which is why it turned out to be a bit annoying that the game supposedly fails to fully utilize modern processors with many cores. In said video review, Age of Empires 4 receives much praise for its gameplay, even though a few technical shortcomings slightly diminish the otherwise good gaming experience on PC. While our Notebookcheck benchmark of Age of Empires 4 is still pending, Digital Foundry has already put the game developed by Relic Entertainment through its paces and posted a thorough tech review video on YouTube. The game is set in the Middle Ages and is available for download in the Windows Store, on Steam and through Microsoft's gaming subscription "Game Pass for PC". After sixteen years of waiting, the venerable real-time strategy series Age of Empires has today officially received a new entry with Age of Empires 4 ( from US$59 on Amazon).
