Tons of mechanics behind a DLC paywall

basically hoi4 but more complex and with a ton of dlc

Para quem tem QI 180+, esse jogo irá render trilhoes de horas de jogabilidade de planilha

this game made me love history, geography, geopolitics, strategy. this game even made me choose Intenational Relations as my major in college. this game is awesome.

300 hours of my life that I probably won't get back but at the same time I never got into this as much as the others...


Es un juego genuinamente bueno, y que rebosa de contenido(Siempre y cuando tengas comprados varios DLC). El elefante en la habitación como ya escribí es que necesitas varios de los DLC para tener la experiencia completa. Eso si, hay varios mods de la comunidad que son juegos completos de por si, y sin la necesidad de los DLC para poder disfrutarlos. De igual manera, lo odio, pero, me encanta esta mierda.

best and most content filled grand strategy... hoi or victoria feels lacking in comparison

EU4 is one of those games where there's so much shit you can do it feels nearly impossible to understand everything. I had a phase where I got heavily invested in it and spent like a hundred hours on one save trying to unify Europe. Eventually I got myself into this unwinnable war and was subsequently destroyed. I still remember feeling genuine anguish at the loss, I think I stared at the wall in my room for a really long time afterwards

This game has so much feature bloat that despite my 1000+ hours there are so many buttons to click that I still don’t really understand the purpose of, and they keep adding more

i spent so much time on this game but modern paradox is a horrible company and i hope they go under tbh

A great game! I suck at it though, lol. I need to pick it up again and git gud.

11 years worth of updates and dlcs have turned this into a behemoth of a game. But as my 1000+ hours show I can’t get enough. Almost limitless options and possibilities, cannot wait for a potential EUV

One game I’m determined to master!

Very deep with lots of interlocking parts, but the absurd amount of overpriced DLC that adds a mix of necessary features and weird bloat drags it down.

Hundreds of dollars worth of paid DLC...

Too much for my small brain to sit down and learn

One of the best strategy game ever. But everything dlc this is a little bit scam.

Easily the most comprehensive strategy game of all time, even after 2000 hours I'm still no expert at this game and there is still so many countries to play, challenges to attempt, achievements to unlock. This game has some awful monetisation methods with its unending pipeline of dlcs which in alot of cases contain crucial mechanics that should be part of the base game, however I understand that they need to keep people coming back and it is understandable in a way to have some incentive to put so much of their workforce behind improving the game. That being said it is inexcusable how some basic features are locked behind a paywall even after spending £35 on the game already.
In terms of mechanics the diplomacy, wars and religion are fleshed out but easy enough to understand. Trade is a bit of a mixed bag being very confusing but being very complex and is very satisfying to min-max. Colonisation is a bit messy but works fine enough and the navy mechanics underwhelming as expected from a Paradox game. Managing your countries economy is fun and the split between playing tall and playing wide can lead to entirely different playstyles which adds even more replayability to the game.
Overall, the game is great and has the most noticeable natural skill progression in any game I've ever played but it has 1 too many issues for me to award it a perfect score

Not my favorite but a well made game nonetheless.


No clue what i'm doing to this very day

Felt impossible to learn and I gave up; game is deep but I lack motivation to explore it

An amazing game!
Needs better AI mechanics.
A bit expensive.

TOO HARD ROCKET SCIENCE i literally remember watching about 4 hours of tutorials and i still didn't understand
