I recently tried Aoe II definitive edition. they managed to massacre the UI so much it hurts my eyes... that alone made me issue a refund also £15 for a 25 year old game. you'd expect it to be better in every aspect at the very least

I'm simping for them but they are hamstrung a bit by the ancient code. They haven't rewritten it.

Fair criticism though, maybe they should have rebuilt the engine by now.

You could try AoE4 instead. Basically a reboot of AoE2 in a modern engine.
