Gaming publications have released reviews for Age of Mythology: Retold, which is set to be released on September 4. The strategy game has an average score of 82 out of 100 on Metacritic, based on 22 reviews.

Journalists think this game is an excellent remake, crafted with great attention to detail and respect for the original strategy. The game impresses with its beautiful graphics, stunning visual effects, and great soundtrack. The official support for mods and a scenario editor opens up vast creative possibilities.
