Victoria gives players a glimpse of the changing world of the nineteenth century. The player forms nations, oversees ethnic groups, colonizes a world untouched by Western civilization, and most importantly, manages trade and industry. The game itself has shortcomings that disappoint. Prussia doesn't always succeed in unifying Germany, and in 20 hours of play I have yet to see a war between the US and Mexico, or even an attempted civil war in the US. [Issue#323]

Overall, Victoria 3 offers a lot of play for those interested in grand strategy, with a number of detailed and complex systems to learn over time. It’s also a solid entry point for people newer to the famously complicated genre, but experienced vets looking for engaging wars or more historically-focused titles should either keep an eye on future updates or look elsewhere.

Be patient, work through your failures. If you do, you’ll get to enjoy a truly fascinating simulation of the 19th century world with all its diplomacy, trade and social developments. War is secondary. And it’s for the best.

Incrível, o jogo base entrega mais o que se propõe em ser um jogo em foco principal em estratégia econômica e social, também entrega um ótimo sistema militar e logístico, e as DlC's apenas complementam o jogo deixando melhor ainda

While the base game looks very affordable, the game is not fun without the dlcs which seem to include features and fun game mechanics that were supposed to be included in the base game to unlock everything the game was supposed to offer, it costs an exorbitant $130 usd at least, not including future dlcs which are set to continue to release for a few years, not to mention the possibility of the game becoming completely unplayable after a **** update which is what happened recently after "the great wave" that made the game run like a ppt. As of writing, the state of the game is completely ridiculous, i like the game but it doesnt matter if i litterally cant physically play it, as of now all my money is just wasted bc of a stupid update that made the game unplayable, bro i want a refund

Para mim, Victoria 3 é um dos melhores jogos de simulação e estratégia da Paradox possuindo uma simulação econômica e social extremamente realista onde cada decisão tomada pelo jogador impacta de forma profunda no mundo do jogo, infelizmente, para ter uma experiência completa do jogo é necessário comprar diversos pacotes de expansão que custam o preço de um jogo inteiro. Apesar disso, Victoria 3 é um jogo muito bem feito, recomendo.

Victoria 3 is a video game that existed as a hope and a meme for so long that it’s hard for any real-world product to satisfy every fan. But the game as it stands on launch, with its focus on pops, its economic model, and its diplomatic plays concept, should satisfy most newcomers and long-term fans. Some mechanics feel a little undercooked but will surely be built upon via expansions. I really want to see more depth for internal politics and diplomacy. The launch version of Victoria 3 still delivers a great grand strategy experience that allows players to engage with an exciting historical period, as long as they invest time and energy.

Victoria 3 is an incredibly detailed strategy game that’s as laborious as it is rewarding. You’ll need to put in the work and be prepared to spend a lot of time busying yourself while waiting for things to complete.

Amazing game, this is the most detailed political and society simulator of all time. The game combines population, economy, and politics perfectly. Unlike other paradox games, this game has the realistic structure of a state that is based on an economy and a society. No other game comes close to delivering such an amazing geopolitical and society simulator.

If you’d like a chance to lead millions and create a nation to rival all others, then this is the game for you. Just be careful what you wish for. The role of a leader can be fickle and overwhelming at times.

Victoria 3 is a complex and deep global strategy game that can pull you in for hundreds of hours. But attempt to make it accessible to beginners isn't successful.

Victoria 3 is a political and economic simulation of unparalleled depth, complexity and indifference to you. Stumble upon a narrative hook and it can reel you in, even if it struggles to maintain a human connection.

Victoria 3 es undigno susedor de Victoria 2.
Si ignoramos su lanzamiento que fue un desastre, el juego estaba muy bugeado pero con las actualizaciones que tuvo ya esta a la par de Victoria 2. Esperemos que paradox arregle el sistema de combate pero el juego es totalmente disfustable. Para mi, ahora mismo es el mejor juego de gran estrategia hoy en día.

Horribly overloaded, over baked, underwhelming game. Tedious and boring, countries have barely any uniqueness, the systems that are in-depth, you wish weren't, and the war mechanics are just line vs line. Almost an insult to fun, worsened only by how much love and effort was put into this overall mismanaged game by the art team. Now wait for 10 dlc's to come out and I'm sure it'll be a little better... Oh, and you can't rename anything, what's the point of alternate history if you can't change anything?? Very little meaningful choice, and tons of restrictions.

The community was opposed to radical changes made to economy and especially warfare system even before game made it to it's release day, but the real problem is that Victoria 3 is really shallow in terms of content, and, unlike it's predecessor (Victoria II), can't offer enough replayability for you to come back to the game. It may be wide as the ocean - but the truth is that it's deep as a puddle. Also, Vicky 3 is very unoptimized in late game (close to 1900's) because the game has to render each individual PNG for every building in construction queue, and a construction progress bar for each one - this slows down the game dramatically, no matter how powerful your PC is. And AI is a complete joke, offering absolutely no challenge, because they're programmed in such a horrible way that they bankrupt themselves by building too many ports. As of now, Paradox has yet to fix all issues, not even talking about the problems at the core of game itself, so I do not recommend this game right now.
SummaryParadox Development Studio invites you to build your ideal society in the tumult of the exciting and transformative 19th century. Balance the competing interests in your society and earn your place in the sun in Victoria 3, one of the most anticipated games in Paradox’s history.
