Victoria 3

Honestly, I adore this game. I love the political system and the pretty chill economics. But I can't get behind how infuriating the bugs can be. My armies and generals get stuck in the middle of ocean provinces, annexing my subject with 0 liberty desire results in a war, and broken events. Add on to the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ DLC practices and I'm done. I'll still play this game as I got gifted it for free, but don't buy this if you care about your money.

Love everything in the game besides the war and naval systems. They are truly awful. Before that system is totally revamped to play like other paradox titles like Vic2 or Eu4 it will never be a finished product. Every time I play the terrible war systems cause a rage quit, 100k vs 20k with the same stats doesn't provide the expected outcome. Naval fleets jump around and never engage even when set correctly. The economic and peoples part of the game is great, just is unfinished in any sort of conquest.

luv me line going up luv me political turmoil luv me tea & no spice simple as

It has a great and indepth economic system

How often do you think about the German Empire?

Victoria 3 is a quite unique and immersive experience for everyone who loves paradox games in general and the 19th and early 20th century in particular. It shows that the team behind it gen loves it and does its very best to update and take upon the feedback they receive from the community. There may be a little bit of a learning curve when starting out for some people but the end result is totally worth it. The mechanics are pretty well thought out and you pretty much control the course of things, you may choose to go down a very historical route or go wild and do something completely different. As for how the game runs, it runs very smoothly in my PC with only some minor delays by the late game. The art and music are stunning and I never cease to be amazed by how much research and thought came into making this game and its DLCs.
