positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rather play something else instead of Paradox published games
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →7/10 Good game, they gave this away for free, I tried it, and honestly loved it, Turn based deep fantasy strategy, tactical battles, and satisfying empire building.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Age of Wonders 3 is from my humble opinion still the best Age of Wonder-game out there. Granted, the forth game is marvelous for a time when it comes to battle mechanics, graffics and so on. I loved it to be honest. But, the replayability is lackluster. One of the great things about nr 3 is when you have finished a run playing for example a magic oriented race, it was so so refreshing to play a melee based race with extra HP\DMG. Or when you finish a run playing a Good race then start a new…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ignore the salty Turkish review bombers, turns out historic people are complicated and not always loved by everyone (just like none historical people) and down voting a game because of some misplaced sense of national pride is just odd. it's a good game. If you're into 4X its a classic, even.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No longer compatible with linux, and paradox is also no longer interested in providing a fix.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honest review: Warning, this game will make time fly by. You will be like just one more round, 963 rounds later, 12 hours has passed!!!!! (0_0) First time thru the Elf Court, I really enjoyed it. It did take about 66 hours. Even has a chance for some replayability. Game is a turn based tactics game. Similar to the Civilization franchise. This one isn't as large though, or as many moving pieces. I like that there is an option for auto battle or manual. Of course most people are going to be…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I find Paradox Interactive's recent actions regarding Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, our founding father, to be a complete disgrace. Seeing the company slander him as a 'controversial figure' and ban users with his photos on Discord, all while hypocritically claiming they aren't anti-Turkish, shows a shocking level of historical ignorance. Because of this blatant disrespect, I will never buy or support another Paradox Interactive game again.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Requires a secondary account and the devs think it is okay to defend this by saying "you don't need it for single player". I shouldn't need a secondary account at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They gave this away for free, and it was sitting in my library for about a decade. I decided to give it a shot, and not only did it make me tolerate (and even kinda appreciate) turn-based games, it also became one of my favorite strategy games of all time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay, let's sort out the rubbish being said about this game. It runs perfectly in 4k maxed graphics on my 6 year old gaming pc. The launcher also works fine. It is similar to HOMM but has a lovely 3d battlefield. You need to learn that it requires flanking attacks to win battles, not just "my stack is much bigger than yours" tactics. Endless fun random map games with no Paradox Interactive DLC money generator added. 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just no. It needs yet another random account for yet another random company. When I played it when it first came out it was boring as sin. AOW 2 is vastly better than this garbage. It's soulless and i refuse to sign up to more data harvesting BS.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Aged like milk, in every aspect. Besides clunky interfaces and general lack of style, there are no trivial features like "undo a unit's move" or "save in battle". If you misclick - start the whole battle from the very beginning or prepare to lose a unit. Battles revolve around abusing strange mechanics like "force a unit to retaliate 3 times to make him skip his next turn", or "bait the enemy with a weaker unit to make him move out of position, because you know the exact decision table of the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Paradox has finally found a way to make Hearts of Iron IV historically accurate! They're rewriting history in real time! On their official HOI4 Discord a player was permanently banned for having Mustafa Kemal Atatürk as a profile picture. The moderators' explanation was that Atatürk is a "controversial and polarizing figure" just like Karl Marx. Let's make sure we understand this. This is a game where you can spend 400 hours bringing back the Kaiser, making Kaiserreich style fever dreams real…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Between the sluggish controls, persistent server errors, and an incompetent support desk, the game is practically unplayable.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of my biggest disappointments. The game looks better than the previous one, has nice music and lots of other features. But it’s worse in the very aspect I liked most about the previous instalments. The size of the battlefield. AO3 has changed to look more like the HOMM series. The battlefields are smaller; units reach each other in one, or at most two, rounds. There’s little room here for manoeuvres and tactics. It’s not unpleasant, but for me it’s disappointing. AO2 had large…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Historically inaccurate and I found this game offensive
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like the ability to customise the game to keep it new and play in different styles and levels of difficulty. I've played it way more than I should have and recommend playing it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A really fantastic, excellent 4X fantasy game, that is however completely overshadowed by its yet even more fantastic successor, Age of Wonders 4. So there is really no reason to play this one over AoW4 unless you have a bad computer or just really want to experience the story campaign.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I come back to play AOW3 after hundreds hours of AOW4, go figure why. 3 is just better in game play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a fun game. I wouldn't have bothered with recommending it since AOW4 is out and subjectively better. Since people want to review bomb this game over some idiotic sh*t, I had to do it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do believe I like AOW3 better than 4. I have this on GoG also, I have hundreds of hours on this game. Recommend if you like fantasy 4X games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →installed, I was asked for Triumph account., I don't have one. Uninstall
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another game that yet again needs another account. Will it ever end ? I thought steam was supposed to end this type of fiasco. I was mistaken, but its M$ fault not valves. Valve should require that no game on the steam platform requires yet another account.....
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got this game for free, which is ridiculous because I sunk almost 400 hours into it. IT is a very cool roleplaying, turn based, 4x game. However it's greatest strength is that it makes you really feel a part of the age of Wonders because the exploration element is 10/10 and I have never seen anything like it in a 4x game. You can spend hours on the map getting unique units from unique dungeons, all of which have witty flair text and unique uses. The city management is a real chore and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →+ age of wonder 3 - Paradox Interactive
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Age of Wonders III – Classic fantasy 4X with proper punchy battles Age of Wonders III is basically the sweet spot between a fantasy Civilization and a tactical RPG – and it leans just enough into both to feel great. On the strategic layer, you’re running a fantasy empire: Founding and upgrading cities Grabbing resources and magical sites Expanding your domain with forts and outposts Researching spells and empire upgrades Nothing wildly experimental, but it’s all smooth and satisfying,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is fantastic. I think it's better than Age of Wonders 4 in a lot of ways including hero progression, research tree, and story. The campaign is actually very long and quite good!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is "The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth" wannabe and I didn't have fun as much as I did in The Middle-earth. Also way too overpriced.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the most configurable RMG even created. For one of the BEST rated games of all time. You can buy it on sale for a kiss, and surely it is worth it when you get into how much QUALITY content you receive for what you pay. I highly recommend this title, I have been playing the whole series for ages. Looking forwards to buying the sequel or even better checking it out again first when/if they have another free weekend. Extremely well made release that has been patched to virtual…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When Civ 5 and Tactical Military Combat meets with High Fantasy. Dungeon exploration, magical loot protected by an Avatar of death. The variety and the depth of the various factions leads to very interesting builds. There are community balances if you want to play multiplayer. The play by email was pretty good as well. Solo experience is very solid, even as you go higher levels. I spent a great amount of time on this game and joined the multiplayer community. There was moments when the whole…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't care to go into details. Paradox game. Paradox shenanigans. Banning PAYING CUSTOMERS for frivolous reasons (Discord and Forum), selling overpriced DLCs, etc. It's a Paradox nightmare.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tillahınız gelse Atatürk gibi adam çıkaramaz soysuz barbarlar, gelmişler bize medeniyet öğretip, yüzyılın adamına soykırımcı iftirası atıyorlar. Ulan it sürüsü, siz afrikada americada hindistanda milyonlarca insanı soykırarken biz yönettiğimiz türlü coğrafyada hangi ulusa sizin ettiğiniz zulmü sizin yaptığınız soykırımı biz ne zaman yapmışız. Herkesi kendiniz bellemeyin. Paradox you are going to apologize
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a great 4X game. The combat is deep without being overwhelmingly complex. It has a huge variety in terms of units, races, classes, and spells. It’s always fun to revisit this game, start up a random map, and get exploring. The empire management and diplomacy is much simpler than other 4X games, but this allows you to focus more on the tactical battles.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have spent a lot of time on Paradox games, but I have decided to completely stop supporting this publisher. When you buy a game, you expect professional community management and a welcoming environment. Instead, their official Discord servers are run by moderators who exhibit clear bias and toxicity. Recently, Turkish players were unfairly banned simply for having Mustafa Kemal Atatürk as their profile pictures, accompanied by offensive comments from the staff. A developer's attitude towards…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boycott Paradox Games.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Irkçı Paradoxun oyunu alma aldırtma
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game feels like a downgrade from AoW2 and you have to sign into a third party platform.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Combat is so insanely unrewarding and unfun, units take so long to build compared to buildings that you need to not fall behind, losing a single unit is basically a reset. No real power scaling, every unit feels just as useless and prone to being instantly killed as every other if you make the most minute mistake. Just generally awful
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The second game was my childhood and the third game reignited that flame for hundreds of hours, thank you triumph studios.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →AI cheats on every difficulty. Combat is purely about stacking numbers. Outdated mechanics and terrible pathfinding make it a total disappointment for the price. Save your wallet and skip this outdated garbage.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Paradox, are you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ serious? I'm specifically addressing the moderator who labeled Mustafa Kemal Atatürk a “controversial figure”: You're a moderator, not a historian. You can't use the authority you're given on Discord to hand out ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ judgments about historical figures. If you really want to understand who Atatürk was, open a history book first. Look at the major reforms carried out in Turkey during Atatürk's period: **Political reforms:** 1922: The Sultanate was abolished.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game but I won't buy and play any Paradox game. Boycott Paradox !!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You shouldnt have insulted my father!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am reporting moderation abuse on the official HoI4 Discord by moderator @chakerathe (ID: 186828692054343680). Turkish players are being banned for using profile pictures of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk under the false claim of linking him to the 1915 events. This is historically false: in 1915, Atatürk was at the Gallipoli Front, hundreds of kilometers away, and had left the CUP in 1909. Banning his image while allowing other historical leaders is a double standard. We demand: 1-Lifting…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Paradox Interactive decision-makers need to take immediate action regarding their Official Hearts of Iron IV Discord server moderation team.The moderation team has systematically banned Turkish players simply for using the photo of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the internationally recognized founder of modern Türkiye, as their profile pictures. Even worse, moderators called Atatürk a "controversial figure," compared him to political extremists, and spread distorted, malicious historical claims. When…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Disappointing late-game and weak 4X strategy Age of Wonders 3 quickly becomes a tedious grind. The tactical battles feel incredibly repetitive, and auto-combat is too broken to rely on. On top of that, diplomacy is practically non-existent, empire management is overly shallow, and factions lack real identity beyond their hero classes. It focuses way too much on messy combat at the expense of deep strategy.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →2014 Nothing noteworthy from the games industry. 2015 Greatest games year in recent times: Witcher 3, Rimworld, Kerbal Space Program, et al. Unfortunately, this was part of 'nothing noteworthy' 2014.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You don't have to make a triumph account, i've got 75 hours and never signed up, you just click play at the bottom and start playing. I love this game, but it's very hard.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has wonderful mechanics and artwork. Always a joy to come back to.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Take the Age of Wonders formula and have it work well in modern times and that's this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Generally good game but weak because tier 4 units and some tier 3. If it can have option to turn all tier 3+4 off in production for players It would still be a great game today. But unfortunately, it's a bit broken and boring.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yeah, turn-based strategy games like this just aren't for me. Never had the patience nor resilience to spend hours learning interactions and ways to manage resources. But until it failed to grab me anymore, it was a fun and bearable experience, which I did not expect. Graphics also look good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tactical combat is engaging, but shallow empire management and repetitive diplomatic interactions make long-term campaign play feel monotonous.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game, don't know why it says I got it for free
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very nice, campaign has heaps of content. decently good depth. very old game so don't expect anything fancy in the graphics department.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It’s impossible to have a decent gaming experience without 30 or more DLCs. Plus, after the recent disrespectful incidents against Turks, and since they didn’t issue an official statement to address the absurdity of the situation, I don’t plan on playing any of their games from now on.
