The ultimate strategic simulator of an early modern history state with wide options for both success and failure. Do you want to unite Britain under Scotland, thwart the Spanish Reconquista or maintain the Inca empire? Suit yourself. [Issue#234]

Somehow retains the series' trademark braininess and complexity while being clearer, simpler and far more fun. [Nov 2013, p.92]

En iyi strateji oyunlarindan biri sadece müzikleri bile oyunun güzel bir puan almasima yeterli, bu oyun kendi içinde bir sürü oyun barindiriyor gibi. Bir oyun sitesine girersiniz ve karsinizde araba oyunu vardir, fps oyunu vardir, ates ve su vardir; Eu4'te ayni bu sekilde ister amerikada oynayin kolonicilerle savasin ister siz koloni yapin ya da bir göçebe olarak toprak fethedin ve yagmalayin ya da herkesi haraca baglayin. Yani amac Hoi4'teki gibi asker basip toprak fethetmek degil. Şimdi bazilarida "iyide Hoi4'ün amaci sadece asker basip toprak fethetmek degil ki üretim de yapiyorsun hammadde aliyorsun en basitinden" diyebilir ama Hoi4'te Eu4'te ki gibi teknoloji alabileceginiz, güzel ürün üreten topraklarinizi gelistirip ticaret gelirinizi arttırabileceginiz 3 farkli puan türü yok ayrica bu puanlar her ay geliyor, kraliniza ve kabinenize göre her ay gelen puan sayisi degisiyor, ticaret yollarini fethedip ticareti kendi ana ticaret dügümünüze akitabileceginiz mekanikler yok. Yani Eu4 Hoi4'e göre biraz daha yönetim ve ticaret odakli sadece askeri degil. Hangisi daha iyi ne istediginize göre degisir ikisinide oynamisligim var.

Making it impossible for colonists and their war of independence, or hoop rolling in the Schönbrunn Garden? The new Europa Universalis has the answer for everything. It has shown a new dimension of strategic gameplay.

So, Paradox have done it again – learning from the design of Crusader Kings II, Europa Universalis is an excellent starting foundation.

Europa Universalis IV is a well-constructed simulation of what it's like to bring through the colonial era. For history buffs and strategy grognards, EU4 delivers an excellent update to a storied franchise, but it may be hard for new players to penetrate its esoteric systems.

Europa Universalis IV is the game you graduate to when you’re tired of Civilization. That’s ultimately also why all those numbers are there, beneath the surface: because you never graduate away from Europa Universalis IV. It drops you in the deep end before you’re ready, but if you can swim back towards the shallows during those first five hours, you’ll unlock a game so rich, it’ll be helping you tell stories for years.

Nothing to add here. Can be your life to explore nations and times. Music is legendary, by the way.

Score: 7/10 Europa Univeralis IV is an awesome game for people who enjoy playing history/strategy games. While I don't really play strategy games this game still managed to have me invested for couple hours. It has a huge variety of playing styles which can easily entertain you for many hours.

It´s fine, you need most if not all dlcs to have fun with it. But it is a good game, even if some mechanics are bad.

The game itself is actually quite good, I just can't recommend this game because the poor excuses of devs have locked a cr*p load of essential features behind several paywalls which makes around half the factions and thus game unplayable. if your willing to invest triple the amound of the base game on dlc's go ahead. Otherwise don't bother.

Probably the worst of the main Paradox games. This is basically a map painter. As a game it does have some tactical considerations and is more complex than risk, but not nearly as much as a game like HOI4. As a simulator it is total nonsense.
