Age of Empires IV reviewed by AusGamers
Documentary-style campaigns are wonderful
Streamlined and intuitive without losing and complexity
Challenging in all the right ways
Faction variation is wonderful and draws on history to create fun mechanics
Deep and rewarding strategy that?s accessible
Art of War missions are great for learning the RTS ropes
Smooth and stable performance across a wide range of PC hardware
Feels every bit like a great and modern take on Age of Empires
So many great little touches
Nails the siege stuff
That first time you take down a stone wall with canon-fire? so satisfying
Some AI behaviour needs work, some troops stand there while nearby units are hit by artillery
Campaign lacks a bit of personality in the voiced-characters department
No naval or Sultanate in the launch campaigns
A few more Art of War missions would have been nice too

Age of Empires IV reviewed by Complete Xbox
Works exceptionally with an Xbox controller
The four campaigns are excellent with documentary-style cutscenes and narration throughout
Displays flawlessly on Xbox Series X at 4k 60FPS
A dream package for fans of RTS games
No Crossplay options as yet
Not as meaty in content in comparison to Age Of Empires 2 Definitive Edition
May be a steep learning curve for some especially when it comes to multiplayer

Age of Empires IV reviewed by wccftech
An excellent campaign offering a lot of variety, as well as being supported by very interesting documentary-style clips, as well as information given throughout the missions.
Strong AI for both the enemy and your units avoids many issues that tend to plague games of this type.
Factions feel more varied than ever before, with a wealth of unique units, buildings and features.
Added tactical elements, such as tall grass to hide and ambush, let the game stand out from previous iterations.
It looks and sounds great, with little details in audio and visuals helping to let the game stand out...
... However, unit models stand out for the wrong reason, looking poor compared to the rest of the game.
Limits itself to 200 population, which feels unnecessarily small, especially on larger maps.

Extremely welcoming to new players
A wealth of engaging tutorials and challenges
Translates extremely well to the Xbox console
The campaign often feels more like an extended tutorial rather than a compelling single-player mode all its own

Console Creatures
Hands on History is a nice touch for learning and entertaining
New drag to formation and elevation advantages add something brand new to the mix
Battle and movement is smooth
There's a lack of personality to heroes and the story here at times
Battle can be a tad boring and not up to this current generation
-
Fortress Of Solitude
Loads of historical campaign playthroughs
Sound effects are great
Back to basics of AoE II
Unique gameplay per civilisation
No great graphics enhancements
Campaigns can be tedious for some players
Very PG

GameStar
.. you love Age of Empires 2 and have been waiting for years for a game that comes closest to it.
... You enjoy classic real-time strategy, with fast-paced battles and complex base builds.
... you are excited about the Middle Ages and you feel like castle sieges and knight fights.
... You are hardly motivated by difficult multiplayer games.
... An emotional single-player campaign is very important to you.
