Stellaris and Vic3 through the free weekend. I'm in the end game of my Stellaris Communist empire I detailed in the previous Sunday Gaming thread. The war I talked about in the end took a huge toll on my empire, it was basically a genocide given I'm now down to 4.4k pops and I'm having to grow quick so I can start liberating the galaxy from capitalism. The 2 Awakened Empires are gonna be hard tho. Good thing the main species of my empire is now Psionic and the Composer of Strands let's me add 100 pops to all systems with her aura every now and then.

For Vic3 I started with Colombia in the tutorial and let me tell you, what a useless tutorial lol, it tells you to do something then doesn't tell you anything else you can do and how until it finishes, so either you take initiative and start messing around which will fuck up things fast or you just stare at the screen waiting for it to finish the building the tutorial wanted you to build, which is just extremely boring. It got so bad I completely fucked my economy with not way of getting it back on track because the game simply did not tell me how to fix it, just told me I had to. So I started over with a bit more knowledge I got from exploring the menus, and now I have a much better understanding and for some reason now the game tells me about how to properly check my economy and how to fix it.

Also I just found out you can't simply reform the government separating religion and the state in Colombia, because now the church wants to do a revolution, which I had to search to understand since the game yet again does not tell me how to properly deal with that. I thought Stellaris tutorial was bad, but this one takes the cake, it's almost useless lmao.

Im probably biased since I started with Stellaris first but I found Vicky 3 to be a harder game to get into. (I still suck at playing it) Where as Stellaris feels pretty chill to me.

Honestly I feel the same so far. I only played Vic3 for maybe 10 hours I think, but it feels much harder and slower than Stellaris for me.
