EDIT: with the 4.0 update, Paradox managed to completely destroyed every working component of the game, delivering an unplayable experience. I'd highly recommend to not touch this game until you hear any news of them having fixed it.

I highly recommend launching the game with the 3.14 version instead. To do so, right-click the game -> Properties -> Beta -> 3.14 Version Rollback.

You feel like you merely spent a few hours in the game and suddenly you realize that 24 hours have passed.

You feel like you just somewhat started to get into the game while you also realize that you've got like 500 hours in it. You haven't read through all the event texts in detail yet and haven't even seen all of them, nor have you ever started to play the wildly varying playstyles the game supports.

This game is something else, and always will be something else.

Big recommendation is to somewhat RP your empire, as well as playing it with friends. It's probably the best game ever, while seeming like a small little time-waster.
