Hoi4 is a great game and after 500 hours i can recommend it to anybody that is interested in history. Base game is ok(i mean it is not fun to play base game for too long) but after u start to add steam workshop mods and buy dlcs game becomes even better. You can enjoy it with yoour friends or alone. Focus trees are really good but some nations have even better focus trees then others. If u are intersted in history or ww2 i recommend u this game.
- A lot of mods and unlimited options what to play
- very good optimised
- Very good dlc
- Too much dlcs and they are expensive
- Fun
- Best strategy game out there
- Tutorial isnt very good
- Funny game
- Community is very cool
- You learn history
- Very hard game
On the negative side, the AI is very annoying during peace conferences, which are very random and affect the quality of the game.
The DLC is very good, but a little expensive for my taste.
- Cool strategie
- Very realistic
- Tech trees and political game is successful
- Peace conference with the AI is broken
- Some mecanics that are very hard to master
