Should I buy Hearts of Iron 4?

[Maxpot]

Does the game have enough content and replayability without mods?
Or should i better buy civilization 6?

(all dlc of course)

My time in HOI IV 1400+ hours, in Civ VI < 200. So my view is HOI IV.

However, I'll make three suggestions
- in HOI IV consider how you play games and whether the subscription is better value than DLCs
- go for Old World instead of either (actually has a decent AI)
- whatever you do wait for sales

Neither, both are terrible.

Hoi4, civ is too simple and it gets repetitive plus they've finished with he updates for it. There's a lot more ways to play a hoi4 game

[Rubby]

very much hoi my friends, mods are a plus not a con

HOI4 is very specific for WW2 era, so if your into that and like complex games go for it. But if you like CIV i'd get CIV V before VI, V was very fun.

Thanks guys

The two are not really comparable, but yeah if you like games with this level of sophistication / micromanagement then it'll keep you busy for a long time guaranteed and no two playthroughs are ever the same.

it looks better than supreme ruler 1936 but for me HoI4 is less fun..

It´s the first Hoi-Game which is playable for Normal Gamers and Profis / Experts. And it´s the first Game of that Row which is Modable without being an fully Coder-Expert like in the Predecessors.

Belongs to you if you wanna buy it, I bought it with every DLC which is availible and love the Game.

The Troublemakers (mostly Veterans / Experts) say it´s bad.

The normal Gamers (Main-Gamers) / Modders say it´s OK to Good, belongs what Version and DLCs you have.

It still have Parts which need Upgrades, Reworks and Refits, but the Ballance between that 2 Groups give a very good ballance. I personaly as normal Gamer love it, because it´s playable and easy to understand, which the Predecessors (Hoi 1 to 3) were not.

Personally i would buy both. Both have great expansions. Although Civ is now put to bed its still a great game. Im slightly biased as Civ One is the very first game i bought for a PC after upgrading from an Amiga back in the day

The best 3 games i ever got was this , civ and war in the east

civ is a lot better. especially with climate change and all that in the dlcs. hoiv gets slow and ends up waiting for the 5x speed to do its thing. civ 6 is more active in gameplay.

hoi4 is a buggy mess that the devs just don't have enough time to test, I would highly avoid this game just another paradox dlc sheet hole tbh. Game was fun when i was learning but then you get sick and tired of the same bugs that happen randomly.

[Kegbelly]

Games ok if you like something that only has a loose relationship with world war two , otherwise its buggy trash , sorry but its true.i still play hoi 3 on GoG , its a far better game but again paradox bugs kinda spoil that too

HOI4 is a lot of fun and is way more in depth than civ 6.
