honestly a great game, BUT, the DLC policy can be overbearing, and it is one of the games that are very hard to master. BEWARE that it will give you gender dysphoria and either make you a hardcore fascist or communist.

Mountainous learning curve.. I'm on 20 odd hours and still playing through the tutorial. The scope of the game even without DLC is remarkable. I'm 65 and unsure if I'll master the game before i go to the great gaming room in the sky, but hey this makes it fun. Get it on sale btw.

Astonishing game. HOI4 is already spectacular on its own, but the modding scene has made it billions upon billions upon times more replayable and fun. 1100 hours and still dont know how navy works I LOVE YOU HOI4 NEVER CHANGE..
