VR-Zone's own Gaming Editor Derek Strickland delivers the verdict on Paradox's newest entry in their flagship grand strategy series, Europa Universalis IV:
"From the start Europa Universalis IV pulls you in with its alluring psiren’s song and appeals to the inner monarch in all of us. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this grand strategy masterpiece is the notion that players can create their own alternate historical timeline, all of which offer near-infinite possibilities.
Paradox’s newest release once again marries the complex machinations of grand strategy with man’s deep fascination of world history, all while incorporating a distinct epic feel that truly unlocks the majesty of the past. Seeing the world’s most illustrious nations form and thrive before your own eyes is a unique experience in itself, and is an incredibly engrossing experience that speaks to man’s fascination of the ever-flowing tide of time."
