Resolution's Greg Giddens writes: Victoria 2 exudes intelligence in every aspect. It feels natural and realistic and it’s this quality of experience that truly sets it apart from other strategy titles. There’s no encapsulating narrative or indeed primary goal in Victoria 2. Like other grand strategy titles before it, the experience of leading a nation through an alternative history dictated by your actions, in addition to thoughtful integration of historical events, forms a personal journey full of interesting tales of politics, industrial growth and/or decline, and warfare.
