Personally I enjoy it, although it's definitely one of those standard modern Paradox games where it's needing work to feel "complete". In part it's because it's missing some features from Vicky 2 (Such as spheres, which are coming... in a Q1 DLC for next year. We'll see if it's part of the free update or not later). It's an issue with following up on a sequel, if you're missing something from the previous one it feels far more egregious than if it was a new game or series that was missing them.

The game does have some replayability issues too, and I think the AI is a bit too pacifistic. Hopefully with the free updates some of that will be worked on.

This game still has mixed reviews on Steam after all this time? Damn.

As of this post, SteamCharts reports that there are 9,140 people currently playing Victoria 3 and the average over the past 30 days is 4,396.  For comparison, Victoria 2 reports 660 and 598.  Make of that what you will.

Also of note is that Victoria 2 is slightly outperforming Imperator: Rome.

Fucking hell, passing State Atheism while having a powerful Intelligentsia gives you the Euphoric achievement.

In this moment I am euphoric, not because of some phony dev's blessing. But because I am, enlightened by my laws.

It seems the first DLC for VIC3 has completely bombed reviews-wise.

It's pretty impressive that they managed to encapsulate the whole situation with France's leaders at the beginning of the game as "pick a side, tell someone to support them, and wait for a meter to fill up before you get the conclusion you wanted with no consequences whatsoever."
