Lords Of The West is good fun, and Age Of Empires 2 Definitive Edition remains the king of my PC castle. But as Jurassic Park showed us, bringing any great beast back to life is a risky business, and that applies just as well to electric knights as to velociraptors. A moderate approach is vital. To continue the metaphor, this all feels a bit like the situation in Jurassic World, where the money men get the science men to build a devil dinosaur, because normal dinosaurs weren’t exciting enough. It’s not too much like that situation, I confess, as I’m not particularly worried that Edward Longshanks will climb out of my telly and devour a helicopter. I’m just saying that, much like dinosaurs, AoE2 was impressive enough as nature, or Doctor Microsoft, made it.

Lords of the West adds further civs and campaings on the same level as its previous extensions. It adds more variety to the game and new gameplay content is always welcome to enjoy AoE 2.

Again good DLC for AoE2: DE. Only couple hours of gameplay (single player/story mode), two new civs and three campaigns. But the price is also cheap, so it's fine.
