    Artistically superb, beautifully designed and overall well adapted to controller pads, Crusader Kings III delivers the PC experience to consoles in a very unique way. These kind of games on PC are relatively common from time to time, but on consoles this exotic genre is like a gem you can enjoy one time every decade -or even more-. These kind of games are not for everyone. Despite its magnificent possibilities and eternal endgame, it's very complex to learn how to play from start and you will spend several hours reading and playing tutorials or getting unlimited hints in order to actually get some small improvements on your walkthrough. Surprisingly no option for keyboard and mouse, despite the fact that many games are already including this compatibility option without any issues.

    Crusader Kings III is a must-have, and whilst newcomers may initially be overwhelmed, it’s most certainly one to try. Maybe, just maybe, this will pave the way for a console version of Age of Empires.

    Crusader Kings III is a phenomenal game that is not for most. If you have the patience, reading ability, and time this is one of the best, funniest, and most varied sim games on the market.

    Crusader Kings III has finally pushed the boundaries of our PCs to land in all its glory on the next generation consoles.

    If you don't feel threatened by huge amounts of text and menu-based systems, then Crusader Kings 3 can turn into huge and epic journey, with hundreds of hours of gameplay, and a full world of unique medieval intrigues.

    Get used to the slightly cumbersome controls, menu heavy play and perhaps choose for a slower pace, and Crusader Kings 3's innate charms can still shine through on console. This is still a game that's all about dynasty, family and roleplaying your way through the ages, and it's still just as compelling as ever.

    It was very difficult to translate all of the systems of Crusader Kings 3 for console play and Paradox has done its best, but many UX choices are inexplicable and this port will not help newcomers to approach this great strategy game.

The storyline and the new possibilities are a joy to play and make it hard to put the controller down. Of course, you'll have to get used to the new controls, but if you're willing, you'll get a great game for your console. We can only recommend the game "Crusader Kings III" and wish you a lot of fun with it.… Expand

There are quite a few things missing from core game but it's not a big deal for me. What is are the major bugs and the AI itself is so random that it renders most of the game either so frustrating you don't want to play or so stupid that you refuse to call allies because they will just get you killed. 3 different holy wars where my army is left high and dry by the other half of the army that just sits a county away while I get destroyed. Reputation/Like system is so broken that you will have a -2500 penalty to vassalize a de jure lord when you have 3 times the soldiers, heirs will change religions and you can't convert them even after you take control of them. I guess they spent the entire time working on this UI that they thought no one would notice the game breaking bugs and glitches.… Expand

Heureusement, ce étron est tombéIl s’agit d’un jeu sorti sur PC en 2020 et qui vient d’être adapté sur les consoles actuelles fin mars 2022. Heureusement, ce étron est tombé directum dans le Game Pass que d’aucuns surnomment parfois le Daube Pass, au vu de la quantité de daubes qui tombent dedans plus ou moins régulièrement (mais cela varie souvent comme on s’en doute, selon les arrivages).

    En tous les cas, adapter pour la manette un tel jeu conçu pour le clavier et la souris tient de la gageure et ça s’est (forcément) mal passé : c’est la merde totale à gérer !

    Mais cela étant, ce n’est pas uniquement dû au dispositif de contrôle mais surtout dû au jeu lui-même : on dirait en effet un simulateur de feuilles Excel en couleurs, de menus et de sous-menus, d’écrans et de sous-écrans, aussi passionnant à suivre qu’une déclaration d’impôts.

    Non, ce truc n’est certainement pas un ‘Civilization’ ou quoi que ce soit d’approchant, c’est simplement une usine à migraine et à ennui ! Rien que le didacticiel réussit à nous assommer en cinq minutes chrono… si l’on tient jusque là, bien sûr. Ce qui n’est pas gagné.

    On somnole déjà à dire vrai, impossible dans ces conditions de tenter… de continuer. Un jeu ne devrait pas vous faire dormir : c’est contraire à la déontologie vidéo-ludique la plus élémentaire ! de ce fait, nous désinstallons cette daube aussi sec. Aux oubliettes, le jeu Excel !    … Expand
