Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire
 – 

Good and will get better

As a late convert to the PoE I game, I was excited about PoE II. The game is improved upon in almost every way. Is a quest or two still bugged? Yes, but I have no doubt they will be fixed. The question isn't if the game is worth getting, it's a question of if you want to wait for a sale, a few more patches, and/or DLC-or just get it now.

Crusader Kings II
 – 

Favorite Paradox Interactive game

I own almost the entire Paradox Interactive franchise, and I repeatedly find myself coming back to this one. Perhaps it's the titles (counts, dukes, kings, etc.) or perhaps it's the personal attachment with individual characters that you marry, betray, or befriend. After all, who wouldn't want to restore the Roman Empire after dethroning the Karling family?

Good base game, will improve with DLC

Paradox Interactive has typically been good about incorporating feedback into future patches and DLC, and this game is no exception. The initial release was not without flaws—and even then, I sunk in about a 100 hours—and it just keeps getting better with future planned DLC and patches. The game includes numerous homages to many sci-fi authors, books, movies, etc., and this is very appreciated.

Europa Universalis IV
 – 

Great intro to Paradox Interactive games

This was my second Paradox Interactive game (after Victoria 2), and I still think it has the easiest (and often most forgiving) learning curve. The game, in my view, ultimately relies on steering trade and manipulating the New World and the East Indies to your advantage. In this sense, it's a little one-sided, but internal events like the Reformation and the upcoming DLC/patch with Ages fill-out the game even more.

SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition
 – 

Still difficult

Although my all-time favorite SimCity game is SimCity 3000, this is definitely second place. Improved graphics, and plenty of micromanagement of taxes (among many), this game definitely is an exemplar in its genre. I have to say that it seems more difficult to have a cash-positive city in this game than previous titles, but perhaps it's just me.
