Age of Empires has been a part of my life since the original launch, and when you count of the hours played across all the titles, it's easily my most played franchise on PC, by a long shot. In the build up to Age of Empires 4, the development team has been churning out Definitive Edition versions of the past numbered games in the series - Age of Empires, Age of Empires 2, and now Age of Empires 3.
