    If you're really craving a new global RTS and you're a big fan of the Victoria series, you can give Europa Universalis V a try right now. But it's better to wait: it won't reach its full potential for at least a few years.

    A heavy, slow, complex and truly grand strategy game that demands your full attention and continues to occupy your thoughts even when you’re not playing. Yes, it has some big problems but I’m sure it will reach perfection before long.

    Europa Universalis V is a monumental grand strategy evolution, thanks to its innovative, organic population simulation and immense strategic depth on a beautifully detailed map. Despite a baroque interface and steep learning curve presenting a significant barrier for newcomers, and potential late-game performance drops, it offers infinite replayability and emergent narratives, solidifying its place as Paradox's most ambitious title.
