This is a less boring version of Victoria 3, its less arcade-y and extremely micro-managed. It feels so un-fun to play at times. With every patch that tries to fix something 2-3 more things break. Beware YOU are the QA and tester, not the consumer. I would recommend buying this on a huge discount but even then you will probably need 2 quintillion DLC's to buy in a year or two. Also the performance is abysmal, 100 hours in the game can take 5-8 hours. 8 HOURS ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I have it at max speed and the game is crawling at a snail's pace.
EU5 is not an improvement upon EU4 it is a completely different game and they just share a name. It has none of the fun things that made EU4 fun to play alone or with friends.
