What players say
Players are split on Victoria II. Some call it a complex and rewarding strategy game with a steep learning curve, while others complain about heavy RNG and frustrating early battles. Many love the modding scene and say it still holds up better than Victoria 3, but it demands patience and a taste for staring at maps.
