crazy good

class

Maximum micro, number, strat autism. Information overload. Makes time stop existing as an experience of the consciousness.

I really like how the mechanics were changed since EU4, no admin/diplo/military mana, way more in depth and interconnected economy and trade, culture, religion and making locations cores, control is now the grand struggle...
It's definitely an upgrade, 100%, and by a lot.

As the flavour of different factions gets more fleshed out through DLCs, the game will become truly great, but even now it's a pleasure.

extremely mixed feelings
way undercooked
you may have tons of ideas how to make this class fun and effective but when you figure out all the bugs, conflicts, stupid mechanics and oversights baked into it you quickly realise there's actually not that much you can do with it
it feels like half of the features weren't even tested, the "playtesters" they're using might as well be monkeys pressing random buttons for a likely better outcome in data
it literally needs an immediate rework

If you like poker and deck builders, stay away or it will consume you.

Very fun, decently challenging.
Timing parrying and dodging vital.
Sometimes you just get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ by surprise.
Campaign needs to get matchmaking, playing with bots is ass, friends necessary.
Operations are lovely and the main selling point for me, only need more content. Maybe up to / around 10 hours to finish all of them on one difficulty, if you can. Very re-playable, with different class, weapon, perk combinations and progression. New maps are apparently being added periodically.
PVP exists?

Tits or GTFO? GTFO it is
