I've mostly played EU4 but recently have discovered the dlc is much cheaper than expected^[For legal porpoises I will not specify how much cheaper] and it's been like 3 years since I last played^[this footnote is ornamental].

Viccy 3 and crusader kings 3 weren't out last time.

So which is the best atm to lose time in?

edit: thanks for the recs. Ck3 seems to slap now

CK3 is pretty good for losing time. It’s definitely the easiest to just go with the flow. Most losses don’t feel game ending and can give you something to go after. I got a friend really into it even though he doesn’t seem to have any interest in the other games.

Vic 3 is alright once you figure out how to keep things stable enough while still ignoring the more complex systems.

HoI4 is a horrible broken mess. I’ve been playing it a lot recently.

I’ve never played EU4 so idk there.

Is it praxis to pick Germany in HoI4 and lose as fast as possible?

If it is then I’m a damn activist

I think they added a communist path for Germany recently, but I haven’t played it yet.

I saw there was a kill Hitler path but I thought the man himself already had that covered.

The earlier the better.
