Hearts of Iron IV
2016 · Grand Strategy · PC / Steam
Hearts of Iron IV is one of the deepest WW2 strategy games ever made, offering a sandbox of historical and alternate-history scenarios that can absorb hundreds of hours without exhausting its possibilities. The learning curve is punishing and the DLC costs are genuinely excessive, but the core experience, especially when combined with mods, is hard to find elsewhere. Players willing to push through the early confusion will find a game that rewards them for a long time.
