Crusader Kings III is a phenomenal game that is not for most. If you have the patience, reading ability, and time this is one of the best, funniest, and most varied sim games on the market. 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 III offers us an exciting vision of medieval strategy, with an RPG component and a multitude of parallel stories. But it's a game that requires dedication and has a sober style that can hold back less skilled players. The time spent will return it to us in spades for its depth and fun.

Crusader Kings III is one of the best Paradox Develpment Studio's games to date. Deep and compelling, this grand strategy can entertain you for dozens, if not hundreds of hours between its intrigues, holy wars, and dynasties in the making.

Raise your levies as Crusader Kings III is out now on PC! Plot, scheme, declare war, marry and seduce your way to power and help your dynasty become the most illustrious and influential in the world. But is the game an Emperor of entertainment or a baron of boring? Find out in our review!
Crusader Kings III is a worthy heir to its predecessor and a grand strategy game that everyone absolutely has to try. You may bounce off initially, but if you give it some time, I believe most people will get swept away in its complex mechanics and interesting take on Middle Ages dynasties and politics.
Crusader Kings III on consoles is, while cumbersome, a fun and dramatic journey through the world of medieval politics. Schemes and plots, wars, and diplomacy all coalesce to create a wonderful experience that is incomparable to other grand strategy games.
The stories that can be created or generated independently by Crusader Kings 3 are so varied and of such great quality, that Paradox's strategy could be called a masterpiece of emerging narrative.

Crusader Kings III has finally crossed the boundaries of our PCs to land in all its magnificence on the next-generation consoles. The dynastic grand strategy by Paradox Interactive and Lab42 gives a new audience of players the same, unforgettable, gaming experience proposed a couple of years ago (by the way, owners of the Game Pass subscription can download it for free, right on PC).

Crusader Kings III is a great and very complex game that won’t get boring anytime soon and has already become a staple of the genre. Despite that, Crusader Kings III requires more content (including the things cut out for future DLCs – not cool) and some fixes to be called a complete game.

If you want to lost in details when rewriting the history, Crusader Kings III is one the best you'll ever play.

Crusader Kings III’s role-playing elements take the center stage, with your choices leading to a plethora of possible outcomes. The wargame side of things is less engaging, however, as battles are largely a strength in numbers affair. Regardless, whether you play solo or online, there are many hours of gameplay hidden beneath the surface of what is effectively a Medieval Sims game.
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 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 III is a relatively accessible title and well adapted to consoles. If you give it a chance, you'll see how evenings pass in the blink of an eye as you try to build your empire.

Crusader Kings 3 is an intricate story-telling device weaving countless threads as long as you have the will to keep it spinning.
Get used to the slightly cumbersome controls, menu heavy play and perhaps choose for a slower pace, and Crusader Kings 3's innate charms can still shine through on console. This is still a game that's all about dynasty, family and roleplaying your way through the ages, and it's still just as compelling as ever.
Crusader Kings III is the new noble management's king. Every little piece matters on the board, impressive and huge, but merciless with the newbie.

It's easy to see why Crusader Kings III is so revered on PC. It's a brilliantly deep and dynamic strategy title that simply never stops giving — but you'll need to commit to learning its near countless intricacies before diving in proper. A dangerously addictive game once you're invested.
Obviously, the PS5 version of Crusader Kings 3 isn't the best way to experience Paradox's medieval grand strategy. However, despite its poor interface and the lack of support for mouse and keyboard, this is still one of the best games of its genre.
