UPDATE: What can I say? This game is still a masterpiece and continues to be worked on and improved. The latest DLC "Holy Fury" revamps and reenergizes this game. Ultimately, Crusader Kings II is truly one of the greatest games I've ever had the pleasure of playing and I cannot recommend it enough to people. Still a 10/10


What an amazing game, Crusader Kings II is a stunning masterpiece of a strategy game with stong RPG elements that draw you into this beautiful medieval world. One of the only downsides about getting into the game at this point is the mountain of DLC that is out there; while the dlc isn't entirely necessary it is very beneficial to your experience to buy the major DLC's like Old Gods, Sword of Islam and Legacy of Rome to name a few. Overall this game is amazing and pulls you in as you lead your dynasty as a Count, Duke, King or Emperor. A quick word of warning is that this game has quite the learning curve but patience and a few hours sunk into it will get you going and you won't ever stop. Two years later and the game is still supported and I still play it whenever I can.

Happy Crusading!
