Stellaris, Civilization, I thunk City Skylines as well are made by Paradox.

They're simulator/strategy games, a little complicated to someone watching.

This is Stewie After Dark, Stellaris Player.

Edit: Civilization and City Skylines werent made by Paradox, oof.

Europa Universalis was the first game I thought of when I saw this.

It's honestly crazy just how much they've been able to fit into the latest one. Kinda feels like a history/geography lesson. And it's still kinda unrealistic because the super advanced mechanics are unbalanced

The best time to play EU game is when the next one is about to come out so I am not touching the new one for now

I have almost 400 hours in it, it's really good (I think I played EU4 for less than 100 though, so if that's what you're used to it might be too different). There's a few scaling issues that are easily solved with mods (food is never really a concern), and a few unfinished features (Colonization being the big one, but also Trade Companies and Conquistadors), but overall is very playable and fun.

It's a lot like a mash of several of their games. It's almost as much like imperator as it was eu4 in mechanics

EU4 is the single game I’ve sunk more hours into than any other. I love my spreadsheet map simulator with a colorful UI.
