Crusader Kings 3

Management might love The King, but they do have suspicious minds and feel caught in a trap hearing Fraser Brown’s plans to get them all shook up.

There never feels like a good time to step away from Paradox’s grand strategy RPG. You can’t just go for a nice walk when your ruler is on death’s door or the Byzantine Empire has just declared a holy war. There’s always someone, somewhere, setting a fire that you’re going to have to deal with. It’s One More Crisis Syndrome and you’ll get it bad.

You’re the head of an early medieval dynasty, and you’ll try to keep it trucking for as long as you can by click, click, clicking its elaborate map and stacks of menus. Your tools are diplomacy, intrigue, warfare and luck, and your goals are whatever whims your mind conjures up.

Like all grand strategy games, it’s cursed to look imposing, but this is the friendliest of the bunch. It’s shed none of its complexity, but it’s much better at showing how everything is connected. On top of a serviceable tutorial that gets you started in Ireland, there’s a tutorial menu that’s accessible at any time, as well as a seemingly infinite supply of tooltips. Even the tooltips have tooltips.
