Amazing Game. Awful Monetization scheme. I buy the Expansion Pass (note it is not called a 'Season' Pass) to get all the DLC a few months ago, then they drop Victoria 3: Pivot of Empire, and its not included. Feels like a scam, scummy business practice borderline false advertising.

The game is one of the best economic simulators out there and deserves a better score and more effort from Paradox.

I am a Paradox veteran with >2000h combined in Imperator Rome, CK, EU, HoI and Stellaris. In my opinion, Victoria 3 is way deeper than all these titles regarding economics and society simulation. Supply/demand curve, market competitiiveness, literacy, discrimination, life standard expectancy - it's just a small portion of factors you have to deal with here.

There is a number of issues with this game:
- The launch in 2022 has been faulty and pushed players away. The game has improved a lot since then.
- War may feel too simple in contrast to other Paradox games. However, it is not a big issue. The primary focus of all Paradox games is to colorize the map. All except Vic3: developing tall and growing soft power is possible and sometimes even more profitable than mindless expansion here, just like in real life.
- Learning curve is a bit sharp. Sometimes strange things will happen that can be thought of as bugs. E. g. a profitable building reduces its workforce. However, most often it is not bugs, but tooltips not being descriptive or accurate enough. A new player has to read a couple of wiki pages to comprehend all mechanics.

By writing this review I hope to improve it's reputation a bit so that Paradox may put more effort into this game, as its economics simulation foundation has huge potential no other modern Paradox game can offer.

This game is a classic example of Paradox being a company that doesn't give a crap about updating someone out of being able to enjoy the game. I liked it when it started, but they've made it so damn complex for obtuse and stupid reasons. It presents a lot of fun ideas, but pushes so much bull-crap on your plate that you can't help but think that it could have been designed much more elegantly and still given you access to those ideas. In a land of grand strategy games this one is the worst I've played. And maybe it's because I'm stupid, and I'll freaking live with that, but it doesn't mean I don't want my money back and I feel like got scammed by Paradox. I'll never touch anything but Stellaris. I think that game set me up for failure. The updates and DLC for that are so good overall but Victoria 3 is the average modern Cities Skylines 2 modern Paradox experience.

You know the more and more I play it the more I enjoy this game. Its considerably less war-oriented than Paradox's other games. But its a satisfying game play loop and time period for all that.

Its a sandbox. Lacks content. And has many broken system. Notoriously its battle/warefare systems. Quite often the frontlines dissapear for no good reasons.

Do not let the negative reviews of this game sway you. 80% of them fall into two categories and both are illegitimate. Unfortunately, these negative reviews kept me from buying the game until I got to try it for myself on a free weekend.

1. I'm mad because this game isn't an exact copy of Vic 2 with updated graphics.
2. Economy/Pops/Wars/Laws/Diplomacy insert game system here, doesn't work/is bad.

I played plenty of Vic 2. Vic 3 is better or at least different, but not in a bad way. None of the game systems are broken or poorly thought out (not to say they are perfect), people just don't know how to play this game. Which leads me to what you need to know about this game when determining whether or not you will have fun playing it.

1. I'm no stranger to paradox strategy games and it took me a solid 50 hours of game play before I got a decent handle on all the game systems. The tutorials, if you want to call them that, will teach you the basics, but you are intended to experiment and learn by doing. At about 200 hours I now feel in complete control of about 90% of the game. You might catch on a bit quicker than me, but the point is that game is deep. Learn the systems, then learn how to manipulate the system.
2. This game is not about direct control and certainly not about immediate action/reaction. You truly are an invisible hand guiding the economy and government.
3. This game is NOT about micromanagement. You are playing the game wrong if you find your self micromanaging unless you are going for a very specific experience and play style.
4. The strategies and play styles are endless. Don't want wait 80 years to transform your landed aristocracy/peasant based economy? Do it in 10 years by fomenting an industrialist revolution and then switching to the industrialist side when the actual fighting takes place.

The game is a slow burn with lots of depth. You don't directly control anything and if waiting decades to get your preferred government/economy in place by making subtle tweaks here and there sounds like your nightmare as opposed your idea of a good time, then dont buy the game. Otherwise have fun!

It's somewhat baffling that Paradox made a sequel to Victoria 2 and didn't even attempt to simulate a global market - instead, the player is saddled with micromanaging every single balance of trade between their own country and every other state in the world,,,for every individual good. As if the trade simulation wasn't enough of a step backward, warfare has gone from janky but functional to opaque at best and lobotomized at worst.

The developers barely put effort in any step of production, from planning out its foundations to delivering content post release (i.e. dlcs)

The Pop System is inherently wasteful, the computer is forced to calculate the state of every fragment of population, no matter how small, for the same amount of cost. Only State of the Art computers can keep up with increasing number of population fragments which are separated by religions/cultures/states/buildings/occupations.
Market and supply chain system is laughable for a game labeled as "economic".
Diplomacy is barebone.
Other complaints I have are well elaborated by other reviews.
This is just a brick sprinkled with icing that is extravagant graphics nobody asked for, posing as a cake.

This game *is* fun, but only if you already bought it. I'd rather not buy this game if I could go back in time, despite the fact I'm still playing it over with my friends every Tuesday. So actually the game is only fun and meaningful if you play multiplayer (which the devs don't care about obviously since you don't even have in-game chat). Singleplayer vanilla playing with impotent AI is empty, unless you benefits from mods which are basically Paradox exploiting free labor from devoted gamers.

We should really fund a legitimate competition to beat up this company.

So much good in this game, but so much bad too. The interface is completely miserable, you get a lot of information you don't need, while what you do need you have to search through complicated menus for. The game provides a lot of information, but is bad at explaining what it actually informs about. This game could have been absolutely brilliant, but it has simply become a "mess". I hope some other developers see this game and think "we can do better like that" and make a game like that, I would love it. But for Victoria 3, BLAH! Steer away

victoria 3 is a hard game to recommend.
its a good game, its a fun game, but its only fun when you play with the countries they want to. and thats coherent and strange.
its in the middle ground between an economy and a role playing game, but i can't after 200 hours understand what i'm role playing?
as an economy game, its linear, there is only a good way of playing it and 30 bad ones.
as a strategy game its really hard to understand why you are winning or losing, the interface its muddy at best.
as a roleplaying game, you don't roleplay. you are the holy embodiment of a nation, taking shadow decisions about what will a government look like, but it has 0 simulation of a congress, passing laws is at the mercy of the random event generator. so as a political game it gets stale really fast.
it's, maybe, the best "paint the map simulator" that paradox had produced. but is that enough?
idk, for a war game, hearts of iron is better, for a role playing game, crusader kings is better, and for an economy game, its so linear that it gets boring.
maybe if you could role play as a political figure, maybe it would be a better game, but you role play as the nation itself, which has no sense in a political simulator way.
after so many patches, everything i had learned changed at least 2 times, and after all this time, the only emotion i get from victoria 3 is boredom.
and the worst part is that cheating is always the better way to enjoy the game.
so, this is a lukewarm review. yes i got the 200 hours from my product, but would i recommend it? nah. imperator rome was more fun. this would be a "meh" review if steam allowed them

I am a huge fan of vic 2 and at the time of posting this have 500+ hours in vic 3, and can say that unfortunately I wouldnt recommend this game at this moment.

I come back every big update to look at the new features and changes but still are left frustrated by the huge issues that plague the foundation of the game. Culture/assimilation and warfare both are issues that on every run at some point cause me to quit, as they make it impossible to complete your goals without gaming the system or save scumming. Culture is being worked on, so hopefully in the near future it improves, but warfare and the associated diplomacy has not improved since launch.

The single biggest issue is supply ( or complete lack thereof ) that leads to global conflicts in remote areas that become deathwars. Russia and GB will send 100k+ combined troops to fight in indonesia over a single provence without batting an eye. No physical route is needed to move and supply troops, no navy needed to support invasions beyond the initial landing, and attrition is basically ignorable. Troops will move over counties neutral or even hostile to them without any issue. War is in essence a game of simply having more troops on the front line, regardless of logic of the actuality of 300k troops fighting over Oman or Dahomey or how they got there in the first place. In a perfect game this should be heavily discouraged to both player and ai, as is done in other Paradox titles.

Vic 2 is one of my favorite games of all time, and with the other Paradox games, has launched me to learn the history of many people and cultures and travel abroad, so my hope that this game will someday be that "perfect" game is still there. But for now I say wait and see how things develop in the future.

Follows the classic paradox trend recently of every mechanic existing entirely to frustrate the player or impede them from reaching their goals.

What's the point in having a popup at the beginning of the game saying "there's no way to win, you set your own goals!" When the mechanics will consistently try to push a single playstyle.

I dedicated a lot of time to Paradox games. Thousands of hours across multiple campaigns in multiple titles. The true near infinite sandbox replay value. Some are better than others, of course. Victoria 3 fells like the worst, least interesting and most half-baked of the bunch.

Average people think that all Paradox games are "boring map games", an opinion I strongly disagree with. Victoria 3, however, is incredibly boring, even for a long time fan of the genre. Then again, Victoria 3 is the disgrace of Paradox games.

The early game consists of waiting for a building queue to finish, meanwhile your economy slowly falls apart due to AI countries sucking up whatever useful ressources your market had in positive supplies, causing your economic buildings to all bleed away money due to the previously correctly priced ressources now being incredibly expensive, due to the ressources magically vanishing into foreign markets, to the point where you have virtually nothing left to supply your own country, within the first few weeks of the game. Time to fix this...

Oh no, you don't have workers available for your buildings, because hundreds of thousands are essentially serfs wasting away their time in unimportant fields for the nobles, creating nothing of value for the economy. Only farmers working in official food producing buildings, count as producing food or grain. The land owners only exist to watch their serfs doing nothing in their empty plots of land. Time to reform the government and start fixing this mess...

Oh no, the law passing system is a frustrating RNG nightmare, devoid of logic. Simple reforms over basic laws require years of in-game time to get passed and are full of RNG events that can either advance the law passing, delay it or give your entire country negative buffs that last for years. These events can happen in a loop, depending on nothing but dumb luck.

Exemple of illogical gameplay nonsense: You want your country to have "interior affairs" and a national guard, granting certain positive buffs in exchange for a cost in admisistrative points (that you pay for with administrative buildings, paper and wood, basically). Normal government procedure, right? Any other game would have this normal state upgrade available by spending ressources, or researching a technology. But not in Victoria 3, because the 8% of "intellectuals" in the country, who strongly oppose any kind of "interior affairs", become radically angry as soon as you try to pass the reform law to unlock it. Does it lead to events involving player choices and negociations? No. Instead, as Prussia, 8% of pencil pushers, being unhappy about the proposed institution of "interior affairs", trigger a massive civil war, where they start with Berlin and most of the country already under their control, including 77 out of Prussia's 128 regiments.
Absolute, immersion breaking, nonsense.

Going into the topic of wars, in this game where world powers can regularly fight each others across continents, with their full armies, either over who gets to control a trade port, or over less than 10% of the population being angry with a mild government reform, there barely is any "gameplay" involved, really. Sure, you can influence warfare with technology and supplies of extra ressources like booze and candies for your armies, but you don't actually get to control what they do. You get automatic frontlines, automatic battles, dice rolls, military ships sitting on important trade nodes to sink the trade ships of their enemies into negative numbers, random advances across frontlines, braindead AI, useless allies and that's about it. At least in other Paradox games, you can move your armies around, properly decide when to engage individual battles and capitalize on the enemy making a mistake, but here, you just wait for the damn thing to end, with barely any input beyond selecting an army stance and choosing to what frontline you send what army (if there's even a choice).

Fun fact: In the event of a war between Russia and the Ottomans, both sides of the Black Sea, meaning Bulgaria and Georgia, somehow count as the same "frontline". In a full priced game that is essentially meant for history buffs and geography nerds who spend hours looking at colored maps as a hobby, what even is this?

In a game by the same publisher that gave us Europa Universalis, Crusader Kings, Hearts of Iron and Stellaris, this warfare system with barely any player interaction is such a sad, pathetic joke.

The UI is stale and uninspired and the gameplay loop does not offer much in terms of random events to make the world feel alive, but somehow the game takes FOREVER to load when starting it. Paradox games usually take a good moment to load into the main menu, but Vic 3 takes the cake, in a category of its own.

Years of patching cannot fix the glaring issues with the core game design choices at work here. The DLC certainly can't fix this either. What a waste of time. I cannot recommend this game, even to hardcore fans of other Paradox titles.

Honestly, this game is impossible to play.

Not because of the 4X qualities or any of the in game systems.

Because it take FOREVER to load. I just sat for 10 minutes reading online on my phone while I waited for it to load... looked up... and it still wasn't even starting on the shaders or w/e. So, I exited out, restarted the loading, got up and made tea and a snack and came back and it still hasn't started loading. I'm just sitting on the opening screen with the little clock and the thing in the top corner spinning uselessly.

Game shouldn't take as long to load as it does to play. Fuck right off. Don't get this game for a few years at least. Then maybe you'll be able to load it.

(p.s. I have an amazing top end computer. Everything is up to date. I only have one save file, I started earlier today, because Reddit says more than one save file can cause the game to load *even slower*. This is purely the game being absolute bullshit.)

Paradox keep writing games like this now.

I assume they're great for people who knew the previous version inside-out but they're almost totally impossible for a new player to learn.

There might be a good game in here: I really don't know. Without a proper tutorial that takes a player through the game mechanics in a reasonably easy-to-understand way, it's impossible to start.

Don't buy unless you're looking to spend hundreds of hours before you even start to learn how to play.

I initially played this game when it first came out.
It had its problems and struggled to stay interesting, but it seems like since then military has a bit more nuance, just not HOI4 level (which is probably a good thing).
To really get the base experience you need Spheres of Influence DLC.

I would say its worth it when its on sale

Truly one of the best paradox games I have played, offers a wide variety of nations to play with different playstyles. Victoria 3 has both war and economic balancing with policy management too. Has a ton of interesting achievements to achieve and is the type of game where you lose track of time playing. The devs have been working hard on this game, and at first it was very rocky but now at this point it is becoming one of the best economic and policy management games that you can find. If you enjoy making a strong economy to result into taking over other markets either through force or diplomacy this game is for you

The game has come a long way since lunch drastically improving the gameplay. I see a lot of reviews complaining about the devs however if you follow the games history it is clear that the developers are responsive and listen to feedback. Many people also compare victoria 3 to victoria 2 saying how much more complex victoria 2 is, after having around 500+ hours in both games i can say that victoria 3 is the much
superior experiance overall, there are certain things that victoria 2 feel better however i cannot think of a single feature that victoria 2 has that actually works better and i wish was part of victoria 3 as of now. Sphere of Influence DLC added the much needed SoIs to the game and the current state of the game in 1.8 is great, with political movements implemented politics feel a bit less random, still goofy, just less random and the new famine system makes you think twice about never having to build a single farm.
Overall I highly recommend this game and to anyone reading negative reviews they are mostly outdated since at lunch game was a mess, but right now, its easily one of the best strategy games available on the market.

To date I have played the following Paradox Games:

Stellaris - Paid for all content TWICE due to losing my original Steam account.

EU3 - Went so far as to do a modded game, with the only mod being removing the time limit. Played as the Byzantine Empire -without cheating or save scumming- for a back to back world-wide paint the map with effectively all cultures, religion etc changed, had the Byzantine join the HRE via a marriage, and then BECOME the Holy Roman Empire.

EU4 - Played it enough to not need to play anymore.

Victoria 2 - Loved the game, and even the antiquated mechanics.

Crusaders 3 - No I didn't like it.

Rome - Played to the limit of the engine, it isn't great, but I got far enought to do what could be done. It had nothing to offer than the other Paradox games didn't already do better. The game lacked a unique mechanic, and honestly it should have been a feature that had colonies, and it should have been a Proto-Greek/Egypt/Sumerian/Hittite game. It was just a paint the map game with nothing else.

---------------------------
Victoria 3:
I have tried to play this game.

- The UI/Gameplay controls are needlessly different from other Paradox games making you learn a new setup for no reason.
- The game is boring.
- I just can't bring myself to be nice to this game, I paid a LOT for it. I have long since stopped leaving negative reviews for nearly all games with a TINY list of exceptions. This game is just not worth writing home about to the point that it is worth warning people about.

This should be a game about managing an economy since they omitted wars, especially since Hearts of Iron focuses so much on war. Instead the economy is apparently even more simplified than EU4.

Honestly this could have been an MAJOR expansion to EU4 and it would have been passable for the same price, at least then it would feel like it all means something. Instead it is a boring game, with boring everything.

I feel like Paradox games are taking HUGE steps backwards, and have lost their appeal. Nothing major has been done since ~2016-2019. I am sad because Creative Assembly and Bethesda also seem to have lost any new innovation and their gameplay has become aged as well.

Lastly, the pop-up style of "events" has reached the point that it just feels like I am being spammed. They are repetitive and each game basically has the same type of event. After playing these games for over 10 years it just isn't working for me anymore.

Paradox PLEASE trying something new like you did with Stellaris, and PLEASE don't just milk this game with DLC until you have to abandon it like your Rome game.

Two years in and the game is still a mess. Every update somehow makes it buggier and more tedious to play. Core mechanics remain clunky, unintuitive, and outright painful to use. Basic gameplay features are either poorly explained or completely ignored, leaving us to guess our way through - prime example being the war system along with it's broken, clunky, almost whiplash inducing peace deal subsystem. The constant push for overpriced flavor DLC only adds insult to injury, turning what should be an enjoyable experience into a chore. I find myself falling asleep mid-game without any interest to pursue any save further.

Boring, frustrating, and not worth your time or money. Go play Victoria 2 or HOI4.

Tired of how this game is still “mixed” so I want to help change that. This is a good game, despite what some reviews may say, and it’s only going to get better if the last FREE update means anything.

First, does it have problems? Yes. I will agree, the military system is abysmal and the frontline system can have you using console commands. Alongside this, the naval system needs more work so that it feels more impactful.

HOWEVER, this is an economic and diplomatic game, not a war game. Alongside this, the continued support and free updates that feel practically like their own dlc have elevated this game to be one of the best paradox games, and it’s only going to get better. Even paradox knows about the military and navy, and is planning to revamp it. Look at their roadmap, the future updates they’re planning are insane.

When I first started a year ago, there were no companies, no artillery or soldier types, barely any flavor, and before this update, no deep discrimination systems or political movements. So much has been added, and most of it for free. For the many qualms I have with Paradox’s pricing and business decisions, they have put so much passion and dedication in this game, and it really does show.

If you’re worried about military bugs or problems, don’t worry. This game is not a map painter, it is a game about economic dominance. Yes, you could have a world conquest, but it would be a massive problem for your economy. Instead, make protectorates, get war reps, take a state or two - choose war goals that will be good for your economy once the war is over. Though that doesn’t fix the frontline system, it makes warfare less of a focus for you as a player.

So despite its issues, especially its military system, yes, I would recommend. The freedom to choose what you want to do with your country, and the several systems that work together to affect your economy are incredible. It has been my no. 1 paradox game this year, and I really hope that more people take the chance to play this game.

Anyways, to end this review, here are some game challenges I’ve made for myself over the time I’ve played it:

- A capitalist, militaristic US that invades countries to install new regimes and take treaty ports to house soldiers. All for DEMOCRACY.
- A Madagascar that becomes a third island empire like Japan or Great Britain, having colonies on Africa. (Still working on this)
- A militaristic Sweden working to revive the Swedish empire and keep Russia out of the Baltics
- A Quebec that regains independence and takes back French North America.

New update has destroyed game. Don't bother until the next update if they fix things. So many bugs that are extremely annoying. They changed the revolution system which makes the game unplayable. Its just revolt simulator. Economy crashes because everyone is revolting.

The game doesn't teach you how to play on its own. The tutorial suggests you just play, but without reading the wiki and searching on Google, you won't make any progress. So far, the best start is watching "How to Play" series on youtube for at least a few hours.
Despite this, once you understand how the basic mechanics work, playing becomes a pleasure. The simulation is really deep and varied. However, it has a lot of places that can be improved in DLCs.

Paradox can't release a finished game to save their life. It's full of bugs and rather than fix them they paste over them with more updates that cause more bugs. In the latest update they torpedoed companies because they can't be bothered to test stuff before shipping it out.

Buy a finished game instead.

I liked this game at the beginning. War system was absolute dogshit but otherwise it was great.
Since then they made many updates, mostly for the better.

HOWEVER, for me they completely ruined the game.

They forced private construction queue in the game. If you play strong and powerful country this is fine, pretty much just a flavor .But I like to play for small, weak countries with limited resources and infrastructure. Gradually building them up. Where you have to optimize every decision. Private sector however builds buildings that ruin my country ... and when there is no more infrastructure to build anything? AI keeps building and collapsing the country.

Uninstalled, wish i could refund ... but hey, here, at least have a downvote from me

A worthy successor of Victoria 2.
This is a great game if you want a simulation of the Industrial Age. Each country, each province, each group of population is represented. Watch your population transform from an antiquated agrarian society into a modern society.
As a player, you can choose which technology to research first, you can influence the economic development more or less (depending on whether you chose a laissez-faire economy or a statist one).
This third iteration of the VIctoria franchise has a more developed political system. You interact with Interest Groups, political parties, agitators etc in order to pass laws (or avoid change). The socio-economical changes will have important implications in the political power of the various groups.
The military aspect is less interactive.

I mean its fun to play if you are interested in history. But it took me weeks to learn all the mechanics and strategies and i dont even know them all. I have mixed feelings about this game. Its a very fun concept, but its not very well made. The game has crashed 6 times today and there are so many stupid mechanics like the warfare and surrender system. Also your idiotic pops starting a civil war about introducing consumtion based taxation.

This game is not worth the money. If you really want it please wait for a discount and dont be stupid like me and buy it full price. Then you have to buy all the dlc because Paradox makes simple game mechanics cost 30 dollars.

It's a shame that I can't give positive feedback yet, this game has the best socioeconomic simulation engine I've ever seen and an amazing soundtrack that creates an unique experience, but certain flaws make the gameplay experience horrible, specialy in the middle and late game:

- The performance has been improved after the years, but it's still extremely painful to play at the end of the game, so painful that I don't recommend it to anyone, simple give it up in the middle what is frustrating;
- The war system is full of bugs, basic bugs that shouldn't have been present even at the game's launch, but incredibly are still present even two years after that;
- Bugs aren't the only problem with the war system, the war mechanics itselve is so simplistic that can almost be considered non-existent;
- The end of the game is historically inaccurate, as communism tends to appear very early and dominate large parts of the world even before 1900. This is not only inaccurate but also very annoying because at that time the game tends to be extremely polluted by countless attempts of revolutions everywhere, which, added to the poor performance and optimization of the game, makes its final stages a giant headache, very different from the beginning of the game;

It's a shame for such a promising game. Paradox should have been less greedy and spent more time developing and testing the game before releasing it, instead they released an unfinished product, and look, I say this now, two years after its release. I would dare to say that they released the game at least 3 years too early.

If they had more patience, they would have a fabulous product on their hands. But because of these problems, the game is a poor experience and was abandoned by the fan base right from the start. I sincerely hope they can fix this in time, but Paradox is becoming a company where only is safe to buy a game past from three to five years after its release, because, before that, what they sell are just unfinished products, but past that time, are great products.

It is getting better by every update and approaching the best grand strategy award imo. Good economy mechanics with immense detail. Still I believe a few more commodities are needed (like lime or cement that changed the world in the Victorian era). The battling is a lot more realistic compared to the vanilla version. Still its strength is diplomacy and how balance of power is exercised with enough details in foreign relations. Good dlc so far. I am a big fan of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk (like millions of other Turks and world citizens). I believe such an important character and the era of Ottoman fall and Turkish independence is worth a new dlc. Behold Paradox, your sales may triple with that dlc. Good job so far.

I've spent a lot of time thinking about Victoria 3. I've found myself frustrated by it at times, but only occasionally in a way that is caused by janky game design (9/10 times being frustrations with how military frontlines work). The majority of the time it is an exciting sort of frustration, as in 'damn I'm being stupid, what can I do to solve this problem', which I find brings me back to the game endlessly and inspires me to think of fun and interesting ways to solve problems.

There is so so so much going on under the hood in this game and it is in my opinion VERY over-hated. I would rather have an ambitious game like this that has some teething issues than a boring simple game that barely attempts to break any ground or refine the style set by its prequels.

Highly recommended if you like a game you can slowly learn and pour hundreds (even thousands) of hours into.

Best Paradox game for me and I've played them all. (Though all are super good even Imperator for me)

If you love economics, spreadsheets, and building tall, this is the game for you.

I get the concerns others have on warfare and trade but the core game loop on building up your nation and simulating the growth of pops is fun. It's so fun seeing GDP and Standard of Living Going Up.

It's gotten better ever since 1.0 and at 1.8, I'm super excited of where this game will end up.

This game rules. All other Paradox games should be folded into Victoria 3. Give me this economic simulation in Hearts of Iron IV. Give it to me in Europa Universalis IV and Stellaris. Hell, give it to me in Crusader Kings III. I liked it when it launched and it's only gotten better. If your simulation game doesn't have a pop-based economic simulation, what the fuck are you doing with your life?
