Opinions? I've tried getting started a few times but it almost feels too "topical" and makes me depressed. but i'll still probably do a leftist radical revolt U.S. run.

for anyone that's tried: I see the PSL tree being pretty "lol tankie" with glory to the party and other tropes. the DSA on steroids seems like the only decent leftist path (lol no patsoc i'm glad that's the 'evil' path). maybe anarchist.

The soundtrack rocks, and I like anything synth/vapor wave in aesthetic. So give me your opinions

You aren't doing the ingame tutorial are you? Because it sucks.

I typically go through the tutorial once in Paradox grand strategy games, even if they suck just to fulfill the completionist in me. I usually watch a lot of playthroughs and read the wiki to get an idea of how to play the game. So far I've played Vic3, Stellaris, and CK3 (still finishing my tutorial run in CK3). Only played the tutorial of EU4 and I believe I finished the tutorial of HOI4.
