  1. So many hours in this game

    Really fun to play game for people that like history or ww2 in general, the game can be overwhelming at first but when you learn the core mechanics the game really because fun

  2. Worthy successor

    Hearts of iron 4 is Paradox most played strategy game with thousands of daily players. This is due to the large amount of DLCs that improves upon the game, and is still getting released each year.

    But the base game experience without any DLCs is feeling a bit empty due to minor nations not having any special focus trees and left out features.

    If you invest more into HOI 4 with all the paid DLCs you will have a great experience, but with only the base game, there is a limit to what you can do.

  3. Ups and Downs

    The faster pace - compared to other Paradox games - comes at the prize of a somewhat cranky AI and a somewhat Arcade-like gameplay. It's more flashy than similar titles - also it predecessor - but not necesarilly more fleshed out.
