Critic Reviews
GameBlast
By Alan Murilo Pereira DuqueBy investing in both interpersonal relationships and the complexity of its elements, Old World and its expansion Heroes of the Aegean impress. Even the confusing interface by modern standards of the genre and the low amount of initial leaders are not enough to prevent a recommendation.

By Paula MoorePlaying Old World feels like you have an entire nation interacting deeply with other real civilizations covering a much smaller slice of history. It adds complexity and dimension to the 4X genre by taking the Civilization templet and adding to it to involve you in an epic story. I love it, as I enjoy the deep strategy it offers and the added relationship dynamics!

By Seyed Ali RooholaminiOld World is a 4X that unlike many titles of this genre doesn't try to just copy the biggest franchise of the genre and it is all the better for it that has made it a must play for the fans of this type of video games.

By Edward SwardtOld World: Heroes of the Aegean marks the game’s debut on Steam, and it rightfully earns a spot on many favourites lists. It is truly unlike most 4X games currently available, and adequately serves to raise an already high bar. While the game can do with a bit more tutorialisation, there are enough pop-ups and explanations for adventurers to being their journey. Immersion is a massive focal point and the inclusion of supremely detailed stories and scenarios truly levels up the experience beyond what even the developers may have intended. It truly is an exceptional title, one worthy of taking the title as the king of 4X games.
Worth Playing
By Jared HallOld World has its moments, but it's a very niche offering. I wouldn't recommend it to someone who isn't hardcore about 4X games because the learning curve is brutal. However, if you've played the rest and you're looking for something new, and especially if the overload of stats is something you find compelling, check out Old World. At the very least, you get to enjoy Christopher Tin's majestic soundtrack.
