Crusader Kings III travels on a road traced by its ancestors, paving it with care and adding decorations to its eyelashes. The updates to the general game system are evident, as well as the purity of the historical and social soul that has always distinguished the dynastic strategy of Paradox.

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.

My time with Crusader Kings III has been a blast. Sure, it’s had its challenges, but on the whole, this game had me hooked very quickly. “Just one more move!” I kept telling myself. It was never just one more move because before I knew it, I was embroiled in a new conflict, plot, or scheme. Crusader Kings III is endless. It comes with a steep learning curve, but never overstays its welcome. A terrific example of how a strategy game can transcend the tropes of the genre and become its own beast entirely.

It should be noted that if you are a fan of the Crusader Kings series, this game is a must for you. It has seen some good progress compared to the previous games. However, if you are new to this franchise or the strategic genre as a whole, you should know that you have to spend a tremendous amount of time learning it. Now if you do not have a problem with this issue, put on the royal costume, and enter the endless world of this game.

Crusader Kings III is one of those special games, which have the power to captivate the player's attention to the point that makes you lose track of the time. Its mix of great strategy with RPG elements makes this an unmissable title for fans of history or lovers of good plots. By highlighting interpersonal relationships as much as other subsystems, Paradox Interactive offers a range of possibilities and events as complex and varied as the human mind itself.
