From graphical improvements throughout the game to the additions in gameplay and systems, Crusader Kings 3 feels like it was built with love, and has additions in place to bring new players into the fold without alienating ones that know and love the games up to this point. All the systems are in place that players know and love, but there is a coat of polish that makes the full experience feel fresh, new and exciting. Thankfully Crusader Kings 3 makes all play styles possible, and while it feels familiar to fans of the series, there is enough new here to make it an exciting instalment in an already fantastic series.Ĭrusader Kings 3 – Preview Image Provided by Paradox InteractiveĬrusader Kings 3 feels like an evolution of where Crusader Kings 2 and all its expansions left off. To undermine my enemies as I slowly rise through the ranks, making deals to seat myself as the most powerful ruler in the land.

Instead, I enjoy diving into the covert methods of control. You can be a chivalrous and pious ruler but that is simply not my style.

Much like previous instalments in the series, you don’t necessarily need to rule Europe with an iron fist, cutting down anyone who opposes you. Now that I have spent some time with the game, I can safely say that the developers know what players enjoy about the series, and have streamlined most aspects that used to get in the way of living your Medieval despotic dreams. So when Crusader Kings 3 was announced I was very excited and eager to hope into the next instalment. There is something oddly satisfying about building your monarch up, sorting out the politics of the time, and slowly building your seat of power though dealings, marriages, and good old fashioned warfare. As a fan of history, and the backstabbing ways of Medieval Europe, Crusader Kings 2 is a game that has been installed on every system by default.
