Great game, although it requires a good bit of dlc to reach its full potential. Keep an eye out for sales or the odd humble bundle and you can get the full experience for a discounted price.

Also worth noting this is a wonderful gateway into paradox’s other offerings. This was my first paradox game, and I immediately loved it. These days Europa Universalis 4 and Victoria 3 get more of my playtime, but Stellaris also earned several hundred hours before falling into the backlog. Each of these games is sublime in their own ways. If you like HoI4 but feel something is missing, be it economy, politics, time period, or enjoy it and want to try something similar, check out Paradox’s other offerings.
