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]

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.
This new episode lives up to the bar set by the previous one, and becomes and must-have for fans of the genre.
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.
EU4 is an incredible strategy game from Paradox interactive. The most accurate description is probably "a sandbox of alternative history taking place in the Modern Age" (from the fall of Constantinople to the end of the Napoleonic Wars). You can choose any existing country from around the world and lead them in your preferred direction. Establish powerful alliances, conquer new territories, colonize unknown areas, trade with precious commodities, become a pirate state, play politics in HRE and many others. For me personally, this is an essential game that has had a strong impact on me, one of the best I've played in my life. That's why I rate it 10/10.

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.
