  1. Great game

    This game is so good if you like grand strategy games but dont feel like playing for 2 weeks

  2. A renewal of the formula

    Though I miss the hexes from the previous games, HOI IV offer new features more focused on the strategic level. The planification of the production of material and supplies is as capital to the war effort than the fighting on the fronts.

  3. For me, it's good

    As a history buff and a fan of emergent narratives, I am capable of enjoying Hearts of Iron IV despite its flaws. The player takes control of a nation in the late 1930's, with the goal of either staying or changing the course of World War II. It usually does an excellent job simulating the war, and has great replay value.

    However, I cannot overstate how poorly the game simulates peace deals after large wars. The AI is unforgivably bad at making peace, to the point that a plausible peace deal can only be achieved by the player cheating (with mods or console commands; I have used both) to create one manually. This breaks my immersion, wastes my time, and almost ruins the game for me.

    The game is still good overall. I like it. But I simply cannot give it a glowing recommendation.
