Hearts of Iron IV is a great war game, there are few things as enjoyable as crafting the perfect battleplan, executing it, and watching your troops march across Europe, or Africa, or any location you want.

Brilliant! I hear you cry, I'll buy it right away! A few pointers for those who have played Crusader Kings 2 or Stellaris - there isn't as much focus on diplomatic dealings, and internal politics are fairly limited. Keep that in mind, this isn't the same game as Paradox's recent hits.

It is still damn good fun.
