Europa Universalis IV

axisandallies's Europa Universalis IV (PC) review

My favorite game of all time

I've been playing games for quite a while. More than 30 years. Most of the time, I play on the PC. I would say that my first real jaunt into the world of strategy gaming was probably the original Sid Meir's Civilization back in 1991. Up until EUIV's release last year, The Europa series was always second fiddle to CIV in my mind, but, thats changed. Paradox Development Studio's formula has finally clicked. The rubber met the road with Crusader Kings II, and it was perfected with EUIV. The game's deep strategy is daunting, but it is the most rewarding game I've ever played if you give it time to sink its claws in. If you love deep strategy, history from 1444-1821 or just a challenge, give it a whirl. I'd recommend watching a few videos on youtube rather than relying on the tutorial, though.

It starts in the year of our lord 1444, and ...

Europa Universalis IV is, oddly enough, the fourth iteration of the Europa Universalis series from Paradox Interactive. With EUIV, you will be able to live out your wildest fantasies of nationalistic domination and map painting tomfoolery, all the while securely nestled in your leather clad armchair. But, is it worth the colossal investment of time and cerebral real-estate?Things have changed, things have stayed the same –What major gameplay differences could Paradox Interactive have implemente...
