Victoria 3 Review

Victoria 3 reviewed on PC by Leana Hafer. Victoria 3 is the kind of game that sucks me in and doesn t let me go, whether I m trying to turn Hawaii into an anarchocommunist utopia or make Afghanistan the centerpiece of the global economy by monopolizing the opium trade. The scope and depth of its simulation is remarkable. I would need to double the length of this review just to explain the enormity of it in full. And that s only outdone by the fact that it actually runs well. I wish there was a fair bit less overall jank and weird AI behavior taking me out of the illusion, and the warfare system feels very workinprogress. But that hasn t stopped me from playing it until the sun comes up more than a couple times in the last few weeks. It s a great first step, with an even more promising tomorrow.
