Europa Universalis V

Johans vision for this game forgot one critical element: Making it actually fun to play, and somehow it gets worse with every patch, most recently the pop growth/disease balancing nightmare but many other extremely questionable decisions that in the end just make the game less fun, maybe in a few years with masive overhauls to many of this games core systems it can surpass eu4, but for now Id avoid this game, who knows if they'll pull another imperator or not.

The game is bugged since the release date. Paradox is more interested in adding content than fixing bugs. I played nearly 650h now. Every campaign reached a point (usually quite early) where it becomes unplayable because of some broken mechanics. The game was unplayable and still is now. Launching a game in this state is a disgrace and shows how bad paradox really cares for their client.

Каждый патч, должен был бы чинить игру, и добавлять новые функции, но по факту он только ломает, то что работало

Too much micromanagement it simply takes all the fun out of the game, and personally, I think they should add the mission tree like in EU4, it makes the game more fun and meaningful. If in the future they managed to reduce the aumount of micromanagement, the game will be more playable and fun.

Save your money until the game gets more developed. At the moment, every campaign I start, I find myself getting bored after 100 years, as there's just nothing to build up to. I know some people disliked EU4's mission trees for being too railroaded, but they at least gave each nation unique goals and a sense of progression. Currently, they do have some historical events, but it's not clear how you get them to fire, leading you to either find a guide to assist you or just miss 80 to 90% of them because the trigger conditions are so specific that it's basically impossible to stumble into them. At the moment, all nations just feel the same after 100 years. Even nations like Castille and France, which historically had a lot going on, just feel interchangeable.

worst game of all time i wish i could get a refund

Stop releasing half-baked games at ridiculous prices before you get a reputation like EA or Ubisoft's

欧陆风云，我有四不玩。 第一，大明我不玩，因为我仁。 大明三百年，设厂卫罗织构陷，宠阉党朝纲败坏；横征暴敛，苛捐杂税，百姓苦不堪言。 天下动荡，兴亡无常，君主沉迷修道求仙，此为不仁，故大明我不玩。大元更不仁，我也不玩。 第二，奥斯曼我不玩，因为我智。 奥斯曼国祚昌隆，西征欧罗巴，东略亚细亚；下君堡而需东西之脉，通商路以济陆海之利。 兵精粮足，天时地利人和，三战其三，可谓简单至极，玩多了会流出口水来，对智力开发极为不易。 此为不智也，故奥斯曼我不玩。 第三，英格兰我不玩，因为我理。 带英驰海为暴，劫掠商旅；开拓殖民，残虐土著；垄断贸易，横征远邦，恃强凌弱，唯利是图，无理之甚。 此为无理也，故英格兰我不玩。 第四，法兰西我不玩，因为我义。 法兰西兴教祸屠异己，诛杀新教血染巴黎；恃兵威而背盟约，屡侵邻邦，夺地掠财。 名为天主孝子，实为上帝逆儿；前拘教皇于阿维尼翁，后协异教以亵哈布斯堡。 此为不忠、不信、不孝、不义，故法兰西我不玩。
