Just like the older titles of this series, this game is a mix of roleplaying and grand strategy: you play the member of a medieval dynasty (you can even create your own character and your own dynasty) who has to survive and expand his domains. You can start as a mighty emperor with lots of duties and enemies, but you can also start as a modest count and try to gain power and prestige. It's quite easy to learn how to play, and if you like the medieval setting you'll play for hundreds of hours.
Interesting and funny focus trees for the nations of the Commonwealth. The dlc also improves the vassalage system, so it's quite useful you like to play as the British or the Japanese.
Indispensable if you like to play as a balcanic nation: the new focus trees are all very well made and enjoyable. The best one, in my opinion, is the Hungarian one, that gives you an easy path to reform the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
This dlcs adds improvements to naval warfare (one of the hardest features to master) and new focus trees for the USA and the UK: these are some of the funniest focus trees of the entire game, so if you love HOI 4 you MUST buy this dlc.
Some people say that this is a useless dlc, but I do not agree: this dlcs adds to the game a new espionage system that is quite easy to learn but hard to master, and that adds a lot of depth to the base game. I never play without this dlc activated.
I'm not exactly a great fan of science fiction, but I find this game very enjoyable. Space battles are exiting and pleasant to see, and the grand strategy bit is very good. It seems like a more complex (and deeper) version of "Star Wars: Empire at War", that is one of my favourite games.
This dlc offers a good overhaul of Holy Roman Empire, of Italian States (Kingdom of Naples, Papal State, ecc) and of Revolution. I've enjoyed it a lot.
This is probably the best grand strategy game about WW2. You can play with any country and do anything you want. The base game is perfectly fine, but you can always buy some dlcs for a deeper gameplay. If you are a history buff, you really have to play it.
This dlc will give you a new ingame start date (750 a.D.), so you will have the chanche to play with a lot of new dinasties and monarchs (i.e. Charlemagne, his brother, Desiderius of the Lombards).
This is one of my favourite dlcs. Listening to the great speech of Churchill after the fall or France ("We shall fight on the beaches"), or to the famous "Day of Infamy" speech of Roosevelt after Pearl Harbor really gives you a deeper experience, specially if you are playing with the Allies.
With this dlc you will have the chance to enjoy new paths not only for China and Japan (i.e. Communist Japan), but also for Germany: destroying the Nazis and reinstating the Kaiser is an amazing experience.
