i learn a lot about myself on the battlefield

boolin'

This was my first strategy game. When I first started, it was all so confusing. I stared at menus blankly, watched youtube tutorials, played through in-game tutorials. Could this really be the most accessible strategy game Paradox has to offer? Yes; and it's also one of the best expreinces I have ever had in my gaming life. I've spent entire days playing, watching the years go by. How am I going to deal with France? Should I ally Austria? THERE IS NO WAY I'M GETTING INVOLVED IN THAT WAR SCREW YOU AUSTRIA *declines call to arms*. These are some the burning questions I've asked and loud statements I've shouted during my time playing EU4. I played my first game as France. Easiest country in the game bar none. I got better. I played as Venice. Got better. Soon it wasn't about "winning" or even doing well, it was about proving to myself that it could be done. Can I form the Netherlands as little Friseland. Yes, I can. Can I beat back the Ottomans as Byzantium? NO, NOT THAT. But through each failure I learned. Through each success I learned. I learned about the time period, I learned how to strategize, I learned how to accept defeat, I learned the joys of winning an impossible war, and I learned that I loved strategy games. Thank you Paradox, and thank you Europa, for teaching me.

The best shooter on Steam, bar none. Play some deathmatch or arms race for a fast-paced feel, or do competitive 5v5 for the ultimate e-sports experience.

Victoria 2 is a prime exampe of a complex and challenging strategy game. It has a steep learning curve but it is very rewarding if you put in the time. In no other game can you form fascist Israel or Communist USA. It is truly a unique game and a textbook example of what Paradox Interactive is capable of. Victoria 2 is simply a must-play for any lover of the strategy genre.
tl;dr can become Nazi Jewish nation 10/10

Not as good as cod ghosts, but still pretty good

It's a classic puzzle game. Odds are you've heard of it; but if you haven't played it you're missing out
