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

Here are my two cents: I freaking love Stellaris, but Id probably wait a couple of months until the current version gets more patches and hotfixes.

Victoria 3, while not my favorite, is fun, but it’s getting a sizeable update in June, so it’s a wait and see situation for now.

Out of the modern Paradox games, I think CK3 is the easiest to get into and the one in the best state right now.

If you like the idea of playing as a character, there’s little reason not to recommend CK3. Mind you its best played as a rpg and not as a map painter.
