    I would have given this game a 10 despite a few recurring glitches because of how fun it is if it were not for the fact that the game has a really narrow, weak, and aggravating concept of political systems and ideologies. The bottom line is that the game is really very fun, but only if you ignore all the stupidly biased moral decisions, go full tyrant, to conquer the world.

The bottom line is that the game is really very fun, but only if you ignore all the stupidly biased moral decisions, go full tyrant, to conquer the world. Otherwise, essentially, the game shoves pure socialism down your throat and lots of it, if you expect to have a country with an even remotely "happy population." The line between Authoritarianism and Democracy is ridiculously razor thin. If you are even remotely conservative, you will hate how libtarded the game is, as all events in the game are built around ONLY liberal choices being the best for your country. There are parts of the game that make no sense at all considering it is a foreign affairs/relations simulator. The game FORCES you to do EVERYTHING the UN demands which is ridiculous. Real Countries IGNORE the UN all the time. Some countries seem to be villains and cannot be befriended no matter what. Many countries act in ways that have no bearing on how they act in real life with established character and pre-existing international relations. This includes the middle east, but especially North Korea, Iran, Turkey and Israel. The list likely includes most of the world. They only seemed to have maybe concentrated on getting the US and Russia right national character-wise. Expand

    The game is a hard to get use to but has very original ideas and is the only modern day Grand Strategy title I know of that is set in the Modern Day, but if you want a modern experience with Grand Strategy, I recommend the Millennium Dawn mod for HOIV instead.

    Short reviews!
    The good:
    - Idea
    - You can play with every country in the world
    - Loadingscreens
    The bad:
    - Too simple
    - One proper tactic (be dictator!)
    - Some bugs
    - Could be better simulator
    - Audio

    Summary: The idea is astonishing and I really wanted to play politic, but the game is shallow and mechanics are sometimes too easy.

    The major problem with Realpolitiks is that the game has little to do with reality or with politics or ultimately with the funny design of other grand strategies.

    Decent strategy, which is not able to simulate the complexity of the modern world and rather depends on hasty nuclear bombing. [Issue#273]
