Comfortably the best 'whole of' Second World War grand strategy game yet released. While the inherent complexities off a game modelling World War Two (WW2) at a division/ship/aircraft level mean that there are still elements of the game that could benefit from further polish, the game in its current state is a lot of fun and a genuine strategic challenge as long as one is either playing multiplayer or not taking advantage of exploits that the AI can't match (and, of course, playing a nation like France or Italy will be more of a challenge than playing one like the US, USSR or Germany - but that should expected (and desired) in a WW2 grand strategy game.

As with all 'core' Paradox Development Studio games, there is a team continually working to both improve the base game and develop DLC, which promises great things for the future. The game is also well supported by modders, with both active WW1 and Modern Day mods in development, as well as alt-history favourites like KaisserReich.
