So is Sword of the Stars 2 worth playing? Its only $4.99. I have a need for a 4x space game and from what I hear GlaCiv3 isn't going to cut it.

Which one's better, men? EU 3 or 4?

We're talking about it over in the Indie Bundle thread.

is Europa 4 a good tutorial for Crusader Kings 2?

It'll get you familiar with the engine, but the mechanics aren't that similar.

Neither game is that hard to pick up and learn, btw. I think I just watched like 30mins or an hour of tutorial on YouTube and was set. From there, you just gradually pick more stuff up.

Victoria and Hearts of Iron are the toughest Paradox games to jump into; HoI especially.

picked it up. You're right, I need a to watch a tutorial. I was so overwhelmed when I first booted CK2.

There's a CKII let's play over at lparchive.org that has a nice explanation of its main features.

I think Quill18 on YouTube has the best stuff for the Paradox games. At least from those that I know of. Don't play your first games with the intention of actually being successful, either. Just dick around and learn while you go. That's what I told my lady friend because her initial impressions of CK2 was that there was too much info/too hard. But once you relax and don't go into it with a 'must win' mindset, you'll have fun, and when you run into roadblocks you just go online and look for an answer. She now texts me stories of CK2's hilarity from time to time. Steam is also FULL of guides now, so you can often just look something up right in the middle of playing.

I'd say it is.

Balance is pretty whacked once you get used to the mechanics and figure out what works in both the strategy and tactical layer, but it has some unique concepts and is worth a game or two.

I have a plan to beat all the games bought during the summer sale before winter sale comes.

Already finished 3/4 games. Only Technobabylon left.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAnd DONE!!!

Good on Telltale for making story-focused games out of franchises like these. Tales from the Borderlands is fantastic. I don't know if this Minecraft game will be as good, but they deserve credit for trying at least.
