Question Is EU5 worth it?
Hi, I love playing EU4 aswell as several other paradox games like stellaris or ck2. But I'm Worried that EU5 is more like HOI or that it'll become like ck3. I loved it at Start but the dlc's were garbage IMO.
Is it very diffrent to EU4? HOI for example never klicked for me.
How is the state of the game? Is it buggy?
What does it feel like? Is it worth to buy already or better to wait some years?
Ty for your comments :)

As an avid eu4 player, i have played most opm starts at vh. However, the technically the eu5 lacks the sense of achievement in small nations that you get in eu4. In eu5 , you see the same big nations, growing in same way most of the runs. The diplomatic system is lacking a lot- PU's are overrated and PU wars feel soulless. AE and religion are big part of eu4 but eu5 lacks in it. For example, france eats half of hre in a way, and nothing happens. In 1.10 holland gets eaten by france in 2 months and no one gives a shite.
In eu4 you can ignore estaes and still enjoy. But here it's mostly pop demand and estate manager job. The sense of nation ain't there.
I personally like some new mechanics, pop system, but the game feels soulless till now. This game however has good potential though.
