This game has some improvements over CK2 in some areas, but overall is a vastly more simple game with much less content than the previous. I think eventually CK3 will be a good game and a better modding platform than CK2, but only after $150 of DLC over the next 3 years.

If you have CK2 and most of the DLC, stick to that, if you don't have CK2 and wanna get into this kind of game CK3 is great for you.
