omg, you guys, i just read the most relatable article about europa universalis 5 and i'm still reeling from it. basically, the author has sunk a whopping 1,700 hours into europa universalis 4 and was super hyped for the new installment, but after playing eu5 for 93 hours, they're feeling kinda meh about the whole series now.



i can kinda understand where they're coming from - eu5 has been plagued by some hilarious glitches since its release, but apparently, there are some deeper issues with the game that are causing fans to lose interest. the author mentions that they loved eu5 at first, but by the time they finished their campaign, they didn't feel like playing it again. and the worst part is, going back to eu4 just didn't feel the same after playing eu5.

it's kinda sad to hear that the author's eu5 campaign was so underwhelming - they ended up with a tiny empire that barely extended beyond iberia, which is apparently a pretty sad conclusion. i can imagine how disappointing that must be, especially after sinking so many hours into the series. the author also mentions that eu5 has ruined eu4 for them, which is a pretty bold statement.



anyway, i thought this article was really interesting andRead more: Full article on www.pcgamer.com
