I actually would much prefer an honest review from someone who has not played the prequels. In grand strategy the biggest hurdle is how accessible the game is to new players.
I never gave the base game a fair shot, I got it for AGOT and mostly played that. Going to start a real world play through this time but can’t wait for the mod!
cosgrove360 It’s a very hard series to get into imo, but this game feels MUCH easier so far. It feels like a game, not a spread sheet with pictures. Even Hearts of Iron 4 from 2016 by Paradox feels so overwhelming and complicated. I’m glad CK3 seems to be much easier to look at without having an anxiety attck
This game is the sims 3 for historical strategy games. It reinvents old ideas and also introduces new ones, it will probably re-release old expansion but with the new systems of the core game and that's what excites me the most about this game!
@@lynxerax7011 Well, there is always the classic Byzantine DLC (with a new governing system), the Republics Expansion (hopefully with some proper new Trade mechanics added in), the Nomads Expansion, the Far East Expansion (with a map extension), the Charlamagne DLC, the Dark Ages DLC, a Religious Expansion (more and deeper interactions with religious figures with some added councils and schisms), and of course the inevitable Aztec Invasion DLC.
Gotta say, I tried to play CK2 and put it right down - it was far too inaccessible for a grand strategy noob like myself. This successor, however, has been so simple to pick up and roll with. The tutorial is finally competent enough to get you on your way before detaching the leash. I'm very impressed, and I haven't been able to put it down in the 30 hours I've played.
Woah... I’ve never seen IGN give a 10/10 before!? Of all the games they’ve reviewed I would have never of thought a game like this would get a masterpiece rating! It goes to show there’s more than one way to make a great game.
@@Pietro-Smusi CK2 might have been borderline strategy/RPG but I think CK3 can hardly be called anything but a RPG game first and 4X/strategy game second at best.

Characters developing their own personal stories through traits and retinue. This is something the Total War games have lost since the Medieval 2, and I sure hope they'll bring it back for the Medieval 3 one day.
To all of you newbies to this sort of strategy - paradox games are absolutely phenomenal. Not for everyone, but they’re incredible if you put the time into them.
Let me explain: You control a ruler of a piece of land in the medieval ages (you pick a start year of either 867 and 1066). The goal of the game is to keep your lands and your family strong in various ways. You can rule counties, duchies, kingdoms, and even empires (each next one is bigger than the previous). You can go to war with other territories, or use trickery to get land through marriages and secret schemes (this is more complicated but that’s the basic idea). It’s not just about controlling your land though. Another big part of the game (which they have expanded on for this next game even more) is all about the characters and your family/dynasty. You need to keep your family alive, because if you die and you don’t have an heir for your title/territory that is from your family (if you don’t have any children for example) then it’s a game over. You use arranged marriages to grow your family and make sure you and your children can have their own offspring. Another big part of the game is religion, and you can spread your character’s religion, or change to another one, or even create your own religion by breaking away from the original faith (or even playing as a tribal ruler and reforming your tribal faith into a new proper religion of its own). You play how you want. Want to be a powerful warmonger who conquers all the lands around you? Want to be a peaceful ruler who focuses on their family and makes it huge? Want to be a faithful ruler who fights for their faith and spreads it, becoming known as a devoted King/Queen? Want to be incestuous and have children with your sisters/brothers? Want to assassinate your enemies and have no one know it was you who did it? It’s all possible.
@@drsoe08 The Witcher is not a mainstream RPG, its a mainstream ARPG (Action-RPG), which is different from an RPG. Its as much an RPG as it is an Action game. CK is not an action game.
@Maher Fauzi i hope it does. why not make the best games better. I had no problem with ck2's dlc. the game was a full game at launch and they only made it so much better. they also put so much more to start in ck3. can play more areas right away and that build own religion thing im stunned wasn't a dlc.
We are living in the gamer heaven. There are so many great games have released recently. Mortal Shell, Desperados III, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Wasteland 3, and now this. It's amazing. :D And I probably even forgot about some.
@OmgLookAtTheYuckerMan Waaiong I am actually surprised to see how paradox have a strong marketing to begin with. I severely underestimated this company lol
CK2 was probably the best unknown RPG of the last decade and now PDX really upping their game with implementing deepr RPG mechanics within the sequel. Considering all that, its ironic that the CK games have become better RPGs compared to the mainstream RPGs like the Witcher 3 or Chrono Trigger lmao
After EU4 I have refused to buy Paradox games at launch. They should be better labeled "early access" considering hundreds of dollars of DLCs are needed to make them "whole".
I’ve never played this games but as a fan it historical turn based strategy games I’m intrigued. I love the total war franchise and was wondering how the two compare?
Its difficult to compare the two because even if they're both strategy games they have very complex differences, for example you can play the CK games as a straight up RPG game even its billed as a strategy game.
Total War is mainly about the awesome battles, and the politics and strategy is their to make the battles meaningful. In CK spying, diplomacy, combat, and management are all about equal in importance. If you love Total War for the great combat it can be a hard transition as there is no player skill in combat only character skill. Its all in rigging the deck beforehand.
So I tried CK2 and honestly found it a little too overwhelming in the tutorial and never got into it. I also couldn't read the font despite trying to turn it up. I'd give this is a shot, but I dunno, maybe on sale?
Same story for me. Games like these aren't for everyone, you gotta commit to understanding the mechanics and getting yourself into the natural stories that begin to emerge.
10 nice I want try this game it's great it's on gamepass pc I am going to give it a shot since this type of game have been very few that I like cant wait.
And just like with any Paradox game, you need to give this quite a bit of time before you make up your mind about it. It takes hours just to understand the basics. Don't give up though.
I have not played any crusader king game before and I am new to the strategy games mainly play fps. Should I give it a go? Or it would be hard for me to understand?
CK3 is the exact opposite of FPSs. You'll be mostly looking at numbers and words on a static screen. There's no flashy action here. It's more like a tabletop instead of a 3D AAA game.
I'm going to try this game I've never played strategy games but age of mythology retold changed my thoughts on that genre now I'm looking into difeerant strategy games to get into
doesn't it feel like with these 10/10 scores they are trying to normalize the tlou2 f*up? never in any possible scenario is CK3 a 10/10 "everyone must play this" game. paradox game are very much niche.
Hey guys, I really want to get into CK, but do you think I have to play the 2nd or the 3rd first ? ( I started playing the 2th but the UI IS a little bit old... )
The game uses stats and random number rolls to simulate combat. If you want strategy game with real time battles, the Total War series is probably best.
Hey isnt that the voice actor in the beginning that did the phenomenal job narrating those King Arthur games that was sort of Total War meets heroes of might and magic years ago. I remember they released 2 games and they had these narrated text adventures built in and it was really a clever way to immerse the player for all the faults of the games. And you got to pick options on what to do. Might not be the same voice but they sound a bit alike.
How do you get cutscenes to work? Oo there is like nothing that guides you through a "campaign" im kind of confused, the tutorial left me pretty clueless aswell on how to actually play the game lol
Either he moves those pop-up windows to the left out of habit, or those pop-up's need to be patched to open in the free space so they're not in the way.
I have never played a CK game, I dont enjoy mass micro managment...do I stand a chance at liking the game? And if so how long until I understand the game mechanics?
i want to play this game! but the learning curve looks intense......... does it ease you into all the systems well? or will i just feel completely lost for hours and hours
You will take some time to learn and you will feel frustrated at times. But in the end it will be worth it. The more you put into the game, the more it will give back to you. You just have to adjust your expectations.
If you want a let's play focused more on the roleplaying aspect and not min-maxing then I'd recommend One Proud Bavarian, hands down. Spiffing Brit is for viewers who are already familiar with the game and his videos are focused on breaking the game/not playing like it's supposed to be played. If you're going for a more comedic feel I recommend Koifish. Finally if you're looking for beginner guides and instructive videos, watch Quill18 (idk if he'll do that series though). All of these guys are pros at the game, btw. They make stupidly difficult stuff look like a piece of cake.
I don't think it was their fault this time. Paradox forgot to send it in for a classification in time. Also, you can play it through game pass in Aus still (if you didn't know already).

Going to wait a bit for a patch. Will definitely sunk 100+ hours into it.
I really need some DLC's till now I'm not impressed and I'm thinking of switching back to CKII
i want to play this game! but the learning curve looks intense......... does it ease you into all the systems well? or will i just feel completely lost for hours and hours
You will take some time to learn and you will feel frustrated at times. But in the end it will be worth it. The more you put into the game, the more it will give back to you. You just have to adjust your expectations.
Nice review, I feel it is more a 9/10 on release, but still great. :)
How does it compare to having CK2 with all the dlc does it have enough features
I just hope for next version they find a way to hide the numbers completely. It still seem to have that whiff of excel
This game is already out?
Yeah and within hours it got cracked and released.
it's 2020 and they still make 1080p videos
Can anyone recommend any upcoming let’s plays of this? I’d rather see someone who knows what they’re doing play...
The Spiffing Brit is always entertaining to watch and he knows what he's doing
I would watch either Many a True Nerd or Quill18 my dude. Both are great
One proud Bavarian
If you want a let's play focused more on the roleplaying aspect and not min-maxing then I'd recommend One Proud Bavarian, hands down.
Spiffing Brit is for viewers who are already familiar with the game and his videos are focused on breaking the game/not playing like it's supposed to be played.
If you're going for a more comedic feel I recommend Koifish.
Finally if you're looking for beginner guides and instructive videos, watch Quill18 (idk if he'll do that series though).
All of these guys are pros at the game, btw. They make stupidly difficult stuff look like a piece of cake.
Spiffing Brit, Arumba, Quill18 & One Proud Bavarian.
I can not WAIT for the avatar mod
Can’t buy this in Australia, gotta love our classification board.
I don't think it was their fault this time. Paradox forgot to send it in for a classification in time. Also, you can play it through game pass in Aus still (if you didn't know already).
Iam looking for a game that's like age of empires but for the ps4. Any recommendations?
Watching this till we get a real review since ign just says everything is amazing 😆
Yeah but with this they may actually be 100 percent right. CK2 was amazing so I can’t wait for CK3
