With Hearts of Iron 4 Paradox really tries to update this classic game and mostly succeeds. Some of the changes are a bit controversial for some players while the game (like all paradox games) will keep evolving with the DLC's however it seems like this will be a far better effort than the mediocre Hearts of Iron 3. Of course some of the usual problems persist like A.I naval invasions which are as usual problematic and although theoretically you can play as any country in the world the fact that only a dozen countries have their own national focus trees(as of now at least) makes playing the other ones a bland and generic experiance.
The plot of this game might be interesting at first (playing as the top villains agent and handling out justice) but after a while it begins to get quite boring. The people you meet are not that interesting and likable and in the end you don't really care about what happens to any of them. As for gameplay the game plays quite similarly to Age of Decadence although i have to admit that Tyranny's battles are a bit better.
Although this DLC does add some elements to the main game ( golden eras ) which are quite useful its main strength is the attention it pays to the areas of the far east especially Ming China and Japan. If you're interested in playing a country in that part of the world then this DLC is certainly a must buy , however if you're not then you can certainly wait for a major sale to buy it at a steep discount.
This DLC is the first "real" DLC for the excellent Stellaris. It adds a lot of useful additions in the main game like megastructures and habitats. While some of the game's DLC were cosmetic(Plantoids, Humanoid ships) this one is necessary if you wish to enjoy the game at its full potential.
Although this DLC is certainly more useful than the Plantoids one or the latest one about the Humanoid ships it still only adds stuff concerning robotic-cyborg empires. If you' re not interested in playing as one of those things then you really shouldn't buy this one unless its on a big sale.
An interesting and crucial DLC for the best city buiding game out there right now. Although the series has released some useless DLC this one really adds things to the main game and should be bought if you've enjoyed playing the base game.
This game may look a bit like the famous Railroad Tycoon but it certainly isn't a copy. You do transfer trade goods and passengers from station to station but you don't build the train tracks yourself( would have been nice if you could do such a thing). Also , you can hire bodyguards to guard your train from attacks during the journey. All in all an interesting little game but if you're hoping for a modern Railroad Tycoon you'll have to look elsewhere.
I know that this game has a controversial reputation (some people love it others hate it) but at least for me it's the only game that captures the true feeling of being a police detective in the post WW2 US. I know that the game has its flaws (the biggest one being that although the city looks alive it feels dead with very few things to do in it except look) but for better or worse no other game has managed to capture the atmosphere of that era.
Although this DLC adds some interesting elements to an otherwise very good game you just can't help feeling that the stuff this DLC adds should have been included in the main game and not sold separetely.
Although the premise of the game seems quite interesting at first( running a police department while dealing with police corruption) unfortunately it fails to live up to its promise and has very limited replaybility after you finish it.
This game is trying to be the spiritual successor to the old classic Alpha Centauri. However even though it tries to be different from the Civilization games you always have the feeling that you're playing Civilization 5 in space with just a few cosmetic differences.
Historically speaking epidemics and diseases were indeed a big thing in the Middle Ages so adding them in Crusader Kings is not unreasonable. However the elements this DLC adds are not that crucial and paying full price for it is not advisable. Wait for a sale.
Bought this little game for 0.26 Euros so i can't really complain about its price to value ratio. However the game was quite fun -especially for the pennies i paid for it- so i can heartily recommend it.
Unfortunately this is one of the weakest if not the weakest of all the DLC's for EU 4. Buy it only if you want to play the full game and only when it's on a sale so as not to pay full price for it.
Even though i am a huge fan of the Sherlock Holmes games and enjoyed every previous game in the series this one seemed to be a little repetetive and the main case was completely uninteresting. The fact that Sherlock seems to get older or younger depending on the game is starting to become really annoying.
