Being a part of Game Pass makes it easy to recommend and if you always wanted to marry your cousin, stab your uncle king in the back, or tax the people into open revolt then this is the game for you.

Crusader Kings 3 on Xbox Series X confirms itself as one of the best management games on consoles, since it has all the peculiar characteristics of the original edition, with the addition of some features and with a revised interface to be fully palatable to an audience with joypad in hand. Too bad for the artificial intelligence implemented, which is not a real ally for real players of this genre, but a good expedient for those who are not accustomed to baste in first person the offensive advance on the battlefield.

Crusader Kings III is a massive step up in all regards featuring many QoL changes and improvements. While some features, such as the character designer, are sorely missed, the major improvements, refinements, and the like, ensure that fans of the series will almost certainly enjoy the new title. While it is more welcoming to newcomers than prior entries, it may still be too dense for those not interested in the heavy political focus of the franchise.

Crusader Kings 3 is one of the best strategy titles in recent years, hands down. The gameplay is extremely deep and the relationship between the characters and some neat RPG elements really help the game shine. The game is not flawless though, as the game's UI may be too complicated for some players and there is a slight lack of content, but nevertheless it's a solid strategy experience that can entertain you for many, many hours.
