I have, in general, nothing but praise* for Paradox games, for example, Europa Universalis (EU) III and Victoria (Vicky) II have absorbed far more of my life than I would care to admit, with Sword of the Stars (SotS) acting as an occasional distraction. Therefore, Hearts of Iron (HOI) III seemed like another dose of the same sweet, sweet, hyper-detailed, poorly documented, overwhelming, quasi-historical empire building. However, I've found HOI to be.... less than fully engaging. This isn't to say that I'm not going to try to take USSR to victory** in the Great Patriotic War***, but I doubt that I'll lose many weekends to it. So, is it Nazi fatigue, or is there something more at work?
About Me
- The Lizard of Guilt
- The horrible manifestation of a diseased mind, symptomatic of years of overexposure to strategy games, comics (YOU MEAN GRAPHIC NOVELS), and internet joviality. Symptoms occur irregularly and are treatable with sunshine and fresh air.
