At first, i did not like this game, looked super confusing and complex, summer came started playing, in a week already have 92 hours, i definitely recommend this game,
Pros:
Fun with Friends or alone (although friends are friends in the end)
You can make the Holy Roman Empire in Iberia if you want :P
Alt-History
Bunch of Good Content that will get you at minimum 1000hours :)
Not hard to learn, just need some dedication!
You can do Mega Campaign CK2-EU4-VIC2-HOI4-stellaris (disclaimer, the mega campaign requires non official mods except CK2-EU4.)
And you have Steam Workshop with amazing stuff from amazing modders.

Cons:
Paradox is a greedy company, a lot of content should be base game, but i do understand why they do it so personnaly i dont realy care about their DLC policy.
Some aspects of the game like quality of life content and fun stuff locked behind DLC.
Suffers from some bugs that after all this time should not exist, partialy fault because of the old engine.

Overall if you like strategy games this is definitely one of the must have :)
8/10 for me.
