Imo not a great release, but not nearly as bad as the screechers say. The UX was surprisingly bad, which I wasn’t able to deduce from the screenshots during the dev diaries.
It has a similar problem as Ck3 in that, the devs really don’t want to focus on warfare, but anything other than warfare is either tedious or just not engaging. Also, completely not important, but I feel the large state sizes will make grand campaigns even worse than Vic2.
FWIW, like CK3, I think it has the foundations to be an amazing game, but will require EU4 years worth of DLC and mods to get there.
