A Complete Beginner's Guide To Refill My Wallet in 2022 next please

I will never forget the first time I played stellaris. Having no idea what was out there as I first sent ships beyond the solar system made for a truly magical experience.
-
Always love when a creator gives some time to judge games based off how they currently play and not off their rocky releases (particularly because I love Imperator)
-
I love Stellaris so much for many reasons but the main is reason is how you aren't set to specific empire from real history, you can create your own from the ground up with their own motives, lore, species, origin etc etc.
-
For HOI4 I think another key piece of it is that it is the shortest of the paradox games, one can expect a HOI4 campaign to go from like 5-15 hours depending on what you're going for, where as a single campaign in any of the games likely means over a day a play time if you play till the end
-
Me who’s been playing HOI4 since release: “Hoi4 shouldn’t be a 5/5 it’s so easy” The part of me that forgot naval exists: “come again?”
-
Crusader kings is my favorite . A key marriage alliance, a bad death can make huge changes in power and the game to a degree you won’t see in some other games
-
Man I just have such a huge crush on Stellaris, the mysteries of space, advancing science to crazy new heights, building megastrucures that capture entire stars, genetically ascend your species, and most importantly genociding xenos on a galactic scale, this game just makes me dream
-
I never realised that Paradox franchises were like sequels to each other. Even though I’ve played EU4 and CK3, I thought they took place during roughly the same time period. It’s honestly pretty cool that each game takes place in a different era so regardless of what time period you like, there’s a game for you.
-
Paradox games taught me geopolitics/ geography from an early age. Its weird how a "map game" can be so compelling
-
Crusader kings and Stellaris are some of the games that always have fun playing, with Stellaris being the most fun even if you discover the rest of the galaxy a little too quickly and it turns into HOI4 with all the boundaries
-
EU4, Stellaris and HOI4 are the ones for me. All 3 are easy to learn...the basics;after you get into micro management,you can get lost. And soundtrecks,amazing,helps to relax and to dive into the game.

-
I really wanted to get into it paradox games, the learning curve is just a bit much for me, considering the limited amount of time I have to game between work and my marriage. I’m gonna keep periodically giving CK3 and HOI4 a go, but the total war series is what I always end up falling back on.
-
I appreciate how Andy spoke positively about imperator. That game at its peak was one of the best paradox games I've ever played, but then the community just killed it by complaining about every little aspect.
-
As you know I’m a complete newbie with Paradox so I really appreciated this video! Great work
-
I love this overview! Really puts things in perspective!
-
Fantastic video. Love the way you blended the soundtracks from the different games!
-
What I really love about Imperator Rome is the Missions. Its very rewarding and it always gives you a goal to work towards.
