They all laughed, except for the king; choking on his food, he had lost his voice

Crusader Kings 3 is a compelling strategy game that deserves to be played. Paradox Development Studios outdid themselves on this one.
Crusader Kings 3 is the best looking and most accessible the series has ever been.
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.
An excellent start for a beginner, and a great delve into the medieval period for history fanatics to boot.
Crusader Kings III has good mechanics and production but what sets it apart is the way it connects to the era it depicts. The experience leans into role-playing and personalities in a way that feels true to the image that most players have about the period between 867 to 1453. Without striving to be educational, the Paradox title also manages to be an excellent jumping-off point to learn more about the period, its main characters, its social dynamics.
Crusader Kings III is a unique proposal for consoles, a political strategy video game set in the Middle Ages where the possibilities are endless to live dynasties for hundreds of years in a game that has no end. Situations are unpredictable and some events are very well thought out.

Crusader Kings 3 is the first installment of the esteemed series, which debuts on consoles and the title does not disappoint. It is a production overloaded with systems and mechanics, which is discovered with great pleasure, in order to better understand the game world with each passing hour and be able to lead your people to triumph.

Crusader Kings III remains as inscrutable as its ancestor. But it is a whole new brand of fun, folly, and misery.
Crusader Kings III is not a revolution compared to the second installment. But it is a good evolution. Crusader Kings III is Paradox's masterpiece. It still has some flaws that already had the second part, and is possibly less complete, in content, than the second part with all the DLCs. But it can be said that CK3 vanilla is much more than CK2 vanilla. And the additions such as the house system, the new way of managing the baronies or the perks in the lifestyles are very good additions, in addition to a total visual redesign, with a friendly interface for the new player. Highly recommended. And more knowing that, even without the need to buy paid expansions, Paradox will maintain the game with regular updates.

A great medieval strategy game with endless possibilities that marks the path for the rest of strategy games to follow.

There was no possible way that Crusader Kings III could live up to eight years of DLC and updates done to Crusader Kings II. But, in its own way, creates a new — more tightly focused entry — and a framework to what can possibly be the next best strategy RPG hybrid for years to come.

After Final Fantasy VII REMAKE went from a game I had no interest in to one of my favorite games in years, I didn’t think anything else could surprise me this year. But 2020 is proving itself to be one long surprise, and this is definitely one of it’s better ones. Nothing what I expected, it delivers in every way it needed too.
Crusader Kings III offers one of the most fun and deep experiences in the strategy and rpg genres. It may be a little confuse for beginners, but once you learn how to play is extremely interesting.

This may be Paradox’s best game and it’s about…family.
Crusader Kings 3 put a huge burden on your shoulders in a very different and enjoyable ways. If you like this genre, it is definitely one of the games you shouldn't miss.

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.

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.
