I cannot recommend this nor any paradox game for one simple reason: The game requires DLC to get the full experience. MOST if not ALL game content is locked behind a DLC. If you want any up to date mechanics, you need to pay $275 on the DLC AFTER paying $50 for just the base game. This is not a game I can recommend without DLC. I bought this game near the time of release, when they had no DLCs released, and now I cannot play the "full" game without paying $300. I will NOT spend that much money on a game where they will eventually release more DLCs for $20 to $30 each. I cannot trust that these games will get cheaper nor can I trust that the devs will release good DLCs. If you have money to burn, find a different game. These devs aren't people you should support when they just take the money, and then invest it into a different thing to sell again. You don't support the game, you support their wallets.
cool strategy game with immersive roleplay, and there is Game of thrones mod if you get bored.
Started from a humble duchy in Southern Italy with the Hauteville dynasty, ended up conquering the whole of Europe with my Empire of Italy. Managing wars, alliances, religion, and culture alongside shaping the map, managing the succession, and forging our own history made this campaign an absolute masterpiece of a strategy game. Overall rating: 8/10.
