Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has just the right scale, detailed enough to allow the right mix of subtlety and replayability, while not being one of these mammoth games with a lot of tedium (and a cramp on the pause finger) that will never be finished in the end (HOI 4 I'm looking at you!).
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay outside of moving the frontline is quite shallow (economy, research & diplomacy), but the game makes up for it by actually having a fun combat system and being historically authentic.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The AI provides a reasonable challenge, especially at higher difficulty levels where it receives bonuses to resources and vision.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Haven't been this engrossed in a game in a long time and I am still learning to play against the AI, I can't wait to try PBEM multiplayer.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Overall though its a very nice game where you can play through the whole war in a few days, interesting decisions to be made, lovely graphics, nice sound, lovely large scope to play through, but no overcomplexity or micromanagement to take the fun out of the combat (HOI4 I am looking at you) and no expensive DLC to buy (Paradox I am looking at you!).
