    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 console adaptation (PS5 and Xbox Series only) of Crusader Kings III is a stunning success. Even though the gameplay experience is inferior to the maximum settings on a PC, it doesn’t need to be ashamed of the comparison and comes much closer than anyone dared to hope thanks to a clever use of the controller. Those fond of large strategy games or medieval history should definitely give this game a try, especially since it has been available in the Xbox Game Pass since its release. Crusader Kings III is a must-have in its category and offers a wealth of roleplay. Nevertheless, the title remains such a demanding niche game that it will discourage most players, despite the developers’ efforts to make it more accessible. On the other hand, if you fully adhere to the concept, Crusader Kings III is the Holy Grail.

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 !    … Full Review »

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.… Full Review »
