    They’ve given up trying to make a better one and are doing a Skyrim now! 😂

    Seriously though, I’m glad to see Playstation users getting the chance to play what I think is the best game in the series. I wouldn’t be upset if they just continued upgrading AOE2 with DLC for another 25 years!

    Has anyone successfully used a mouse in a game like this on PS5? I got Anno 1800 on sale for super cheap, and tried using a regular BT mouse, and it was awful. Like they didn’t anticipate that anyone would have wanted to try that over a controller.

    Any person that says the best AoE is any game other than AoE2, they’re just objectively wrong. AoE2 is the best of the best.
