Hearts of Iron IV Reviews

Whether you want to recreate history or create a completly new world, this game is near perfect... with dlc. Without mods or dlc this game has slowly decayed into a bit of a mess, it's still playable and fun but at times feels empty and as you play you will see many quirks and bugs in the vanilla experience. However most of the time they make the game more fun as it fills it with weird and stupid scenarios, with dlc this game makes you feel like a strategic mastermind and if you mod the game then the world becomes your oyster.

Bruh i spent too much time on this shit. If u like chess or roblox Rise of Nations, ull like this game. (I'm a previous roblox rise of nations player)

-buy game -load up game -choose germany -get flashbanged by a gust of "What the fuck is this?" -try to act like you know what youre doing -try to invade your ally like a retard -play and overtime understand a few things -still very confusing -fumble poland and get absolutely fucked in the ass by france because you forgot to defend the border -4000 hours later -still dont understand navy -still cant naval invade britain -shoot yourself because berlin got surrounded -discover mods 10/10

For only 50 bucks, you have the priviledge of playing an absolutely incomplete game and then spending more money on dlcs to "fix" the utterly complete lack of content. The only reason this game is somewhat playable is because of the community. I regret every second I have spent on this abomination of a time wasting simulator.

Ok, I've played the crap out of this game. I've learned the (somewhat obtuse) mechanics, played most of the nations, and had a lot of fun. Why not recommend it then? Because of the ever expanding price. The game, with all the DLC, is $234. And if you do not buy the expansions, parts of the game will not work. For example, the No Step Back DLC added mechanics to Russia that appear in their National Focus tree in the base game, but do not work unless you bought the DLC. The nation became unplayable because of that, and it was very frustrating at the time, but hey, I can just play other nations I suppose. Then another DLC came out, and another, and all of them cost what I normally pay for entire games. You can probably wait for a sale and get just the DLCs that effect gameplay, but there is no guarantee that a new DLC won't come along and break it again.

its just ok ...or at least that's what I would say if the game didn't have such a brilliant modding community. I COULD NOT play this game without mods, and you shouldn't either.

Love the game, Just hate paradox's strategy of releasing all content as DLC; massively bloating the cost of the complete experience

This game is great, up until about the 1865th hour, then it SUCKS! i recommend playing this game for about 1800 hours to see if you like it before committing any real time to it

you have a wonderfull time, especially when you finally learn it. 500 hours just for base game. at 1.5k hours now, still dont know navy. what do u get in return on may ask. absolutely nothing but pain, no life, social damage and becoming a history geek, 10/10
