Roman-era based game with a time-twist. Despite that this game seem very small and limited, it is packed with many options, different endings and alternative paths to choose from. 10/10.

The Forest is basically 10% of this game, with the map being that of a quarter of the entire Sons of The Forest map. The content here is extensive, with updates happening every single month. It's more challenging than The Forest, and simultanously more fun, with building being more custom than the previous game. Definitely a 10/10.

Real great game. If only I could "remove" some NPCs with my spells...

This game is a major upgrade from the 12 year old prequel that was Victoria 2. Victoria 3 has most of the things Victoria 2 have, but with a few exclusions and major additions. A simple pro-con list will be made here

Pros:
-Immersive economy system, the main challenge of the game
-Kept the piecharts for pops, awesome!
-Graphics that are slightly-ish better than CK3
-Music during pop up windows sounds nice
-Micromanaging of production type, method and systems for each single building makes a good content.

Cons:
-The immersive economy system is tedious and difficult to manage, difficult to make profit without waiting for ages
-The warfare is dissapointing. The frontlines make little sense and the inability of moving your own troops and navy (that unlike all other Paradox games, including vic2) makes the warfare mechanic feel AI-controlled or automatic with the frontline system, sortof a low budget HOI4 combat mechanic.
-Too easy to colonize wherever the nation have a declared interest in, makes for easy historical inaccuracies such as America colonizing large parts of Africa. Still better than Vic2's semi-major and great power-restricted colonizations though.
-Poor description of government types and lack of symbols makes it hard to differentiate government types. Can't tell the difference between Military Dictatorship and Junta, Monarchy and Constitutional Monarchy, etc. Should have added different symbols for different types of government (Republic, Monarchy, Theocracy, etc) and define each sub-type (such as Dictatorship and Republic) better, and perhaps add more unique government types for some countries (US, Prussia, etc)
-News?? What happened to the Victoria 2's "Global News" pop ups that allow us to be notified regarding historical events that give prestige, migration, crisis/turmoil, wars (and in this case diplomatic incidents) and especially country formations (like Italy, North German Confederation, etc). Suddenly I just see Italy being united and Prussia forming NGC without any notifications or pop ups.

I could probably mention more cons, but I'll leave it at that. Currently this game is both enjoyable and slightly dissapointing on many aspects that are missing. Personally I wish the battle system were more like Hoi4, with the introduction of the frontline parts. Moving around your units is what makes paradox games enjoyable. Having the AI control battles and frontlines for you, isn't fun at all and ruins the whole warfare feature this game has.

Add the Global News event notification feature and fix the UI, as well as rework the warfare mechanic and this game would be by far one of the more enjoyable Paradox games i've ever played since EU4. Right now I suggest waiting for a major update before paying the full price.

CK2 experience now with ethnicity and DNA-purity. Sculpture your character and take over the world. 10/10

Literally one of the worst Russian-made MMO games out there. Terrible map making, terrible balancing, and for every update (and premium vehicle) they release, they screw the game over.

If only Gaijin developers removed their head from their rear, would this game actually have potential. Not surprised it is so unpopular.

The variation in gameplay, from following quests and completing the game, to enable a sickly amount of mods to get the best experience is what I love about this game. 10/10, 250 active mods and counting.

Deadside is like a scuffed DayZ without zombies. The game feels empty and lacks a goal.

Killing and looting bodies is extremly rewarding. Killed Deutsch from the tutorial in Skalitz and got a fine boost at the beginning.

10/10 may the carnation begin.

TL;DR*- The developers are slow to progress this game, as you can tell by how many years this game continues to be in "Early Access". Even with all the time spent, they still somehow manage to break crucial parts of the game that degrades it rather than upgrading it; namely the Performance. This game used to run like Minecraft on full graphical settings, smooth and flawless. However the latest patch have degraded its performance down to bits and playing on multiplayer servers is far from easy; Immense FPS drops causes gameplay overall to be challenging, especially when FPS drops occurs near zombies (which it often have done). I have to run the game on bare minimum in settings, since otherwise the game will end up crashing whenever I play on multiplayer servers. What is even more of a back pain, is the texture glitch that seemingly only appears in multiplayer servers you aren't hosting. This patch have upsides too ofcourse. The mass amount of various blocks, tools and equipment added allowed further variation in gameplay, which became more enjoyable overall.

*TL;DR
- The developers spent a long time patching the game, where they did a good job adding more stuff to increase variation, only to create new issues and worsening the performance.
- Pros: More prefabs, more tools and weapons, more blocks, more challenges - more variation and extended gameplay.
- Developers are too slow to progress the development of this game - lack of dedication?
- Cons: Even worse performance for A18 than in A17 (the developers must fix this ASAP), texture bugs causing extended difficulty and forces you to play with the lowest setting - not very enjoyable.

Note: I still like this game and I would very much like the devs to be more dedicated and spend less than a year to release a couple of patches. Do I reccomend this game? If you consider yourself patient enough to wait a year for an update, sure. If you want to play a game that runs smoothly and only have minor issues, then no. Overall, I would say no to this current situation.
