This game is currently in the Humble Choice for April 2024, and this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before May 7th, 2024, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
Yet another Paradox game.
Victoria 3 is what Paradox is known for, games that have a large multiple-nation world where you can choose to rule any nation and try to do… anything you want. There are no set victory conditions so it’s just a chance to simulate running a country and building it up like you want. You set the production queue, try to get bills passed, and try to avoid civil war or upsetting too many groups in your country.
Or as someone suggested in my chat, just let the game run at top speed and get about the same result rather than pausing and trying to figure out what I wanted to do. And I think he was right. I’m sure there’s a way to micromanage this stuff, but also a lot of things took minutes of just waiting for actions to be taken or laws to be put in place.
Pick this up if you like Paradox games. Their games tend to need players to watch hours of tutorials or play the game for twenty to forty hours to decide if they like the title. However, I also have heard from people who love these games say that Victoria 3 was pretty weak for Paradox, whereas Victoria 2 was better. Overall though I don’t think this delivers anything I’d want to play again or spend tens of hours learning to realize I don’t want to play it again.
