As many have said before me - It is indeed a vastly underrated game (only played it with the Invictus mod tho, can´t talk about vanilla). If you like paradox grand strategy games & the time period you should give it a shot for sure!

The game is good. It is definitely a good game but I have been playing EU4 lately and the immersion on EU4 is just so much better and the interface features are better on EU4. There are some annoying interface choices on I:R like not being able to search for characters. Also the gameplay gets quite repetitive and I was also really hoping the game would go on to the later Imperial period but it stops.

Its actually a great strategy game. The modding scene is still alive, I recommend playing the game with Invictus. Its basically a mod that has been maintaining the game in general. Adds tons of free content and gives it that oompf. The game itself is a hybrid of eu4 and ck3 if you want to put names to it. In reality it does a bit of character development because your leaders and family members are the ones filling up your government positions. But its not like you controll just one character or one family. You still are the spirit of a nation (like in eu4). For people who love antiquity this is honestly a great game. There is plenty of unique nations to play, and multiple governtment forms to try out. Each plays a bit different from the last. You can play tall and wide. Warfare is deeper than ck3 but you wont really notice it since there are simply optimal choices to make instead of actual choices for formations and troops compositions. All in all worth it, if not for vanilla then for the mods.

better than EU4, stellaris and vic 3

Stuff just happens without explanation, the UI is atrocious, and the game just feels incredibly annoying to play. Actions and other menus are hidden behind tiny icons that make no sense and give barely any information on what they do.
