I cannot recommend this nor any paradox game for one simple reason: The game requires DLC to get the full experience. I have spent money on many of the DLCs, and I can tell you, I like the game, but you have to play specific ways, and it just gets too expensive.

We will not forget the disrespect you showed to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. If you were to gather all your Swedish ancestors together, they wouldn't amount to a single Atatürk...

When i bought this game it's an mild strategy game i love to play but it got progressively worse after "No One Step Back" dlc. Its just simulation slop, UI madness and worst of all content is vague. This game is just an overpriced garbage, I wouldn't bought it at this time with that price. We really shouldn't feed Corporates like this. Even making an tank origami with your money rather than buting this game will give you more fun.

Lowk this game is a trap, you enjoy playing until 1942 and then you realise you wasted 8 hours min maxing on a map simulator when you could be playing something actually enjoyable.
