The campaign feels like a history documentary, currently I have played 2.5 of 4 campaigns and already 18 hours in the game so I expect 30-40h playtime through the campaigns alone. That means you would only have to spend about 20h in multiplayer to reach the 1€/h mark.

The game is fun and has good graphics, the mechanics are mostly similar to AoE 2 and 3, even if some options from AoE 3 and 2 are missing (maybe they will come, who knows). But the races are more different than in the previous parts and walls can now actually be manned.

So the rating is 10xwarcrimeout of 10xnostalgia
