Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of accessibility and depth, with some players finding the game too easy once they grasp the mechanics, while others appreciate the variety of options for difficulty. Although there are notable improvements in mechanics and visuals, issues such as glitches and AI performance have led some to deem the game unplayable. Overall, players familiar with previous titles may find the new mechanics engaging, despite some concerns about the initial lack of strong countries and reduced playtime.
“At the same time, though, there is a lot to explore in the game mechanics, and there are a lot of different options to pursue with regards to difficulty, mainly by choosing weaker countries to start.”
“In short, I think most people would be happy with the difficulty and complexity of the mechanics.”
“If you've played EU III, the new mechanics will take a little while to get used to, but in the end, I prefer them with just a few exceptions; fewer strong/playable countries at the beginning, loss of ~50 years of play time improved: obnoxious ship boarding times, coring, manufacturing of CBs, and no problems with playability of large nations because of stability or lack of magistrates.”
“I've found this game to be incredibly glitchy and buggy, even for a Paradox game. Combined with the changes to gameplay and the AI, I've found this game unplayable.”
“Before I bought it, I read some reviews that talked about how it was too easy, and once you figure out the game mechanics, there is no real depth.”
