Paradox Interactive Tier List

Paradox Interactive has made a LOT of games, and i'm ranking ALL of them in a TIER LIST.. a DEFINITIVE tier list! let me know what you disagree with.. y'all know this is just my opinion right? 😉

from Crusader Kings 3 to Hearts of Iron 4 to Victoria 3 to Europa Universalis 4 recently, all the way back to the original Crusader Kings 1 and games like Imperator Rome and March of the Eagles, it's only fair to analyze all of these games to figure out EXACTLY where they belong on this list.

i will say that most paradox games are honestly really really good compared to average games, especially for a company at their size at this point. think of this mostly just relative to each other on this list.. if that makes it sting a little less.. lol...

also special shoutout to Laith from TheSocialStreamers for having done this same exact thing like a couple years ago while I had this idea independently thinking i'm like a genius or something instead of having room temperature IQ 😭

[HeyCara]

reply to this comment with a LETTER GRADE of how good i did.. no offense will be taken for getting an F- 🤐

HOI4 is a 7/10 game but a 25/10 modding engine

[tgoas]

Victoria 2 being in C tier hurts my soul rather a lot, and I think that vic3 still needs a patch or two before it ought to be that high, but besides that I think this is about where I'd rank things.

[Epo]

Stellaris not S tier? Unsubscribed. IT LITERALLY STARTS WITH S, SMH

[noneofyourbusiness]

Based ck2 in S tier. Could not agree more. The "it is still mystical to play even after thousands of hours" is exactly right, that is something that I dont quite get from ck3 (yet, lets see where it goes with DLC).

[nildzrecastellanos]

CK2, EU4, Hoi4 and Vic2 are the GOATs of Paradox for me no matter what anybody say.

[zandaroos]

I just found this channel and am still currently in shock that a paradox player has a girlfriend. I thought it was impossible

[elvastan]

I'd put Vicky2 above Vicky3.

Vicky3 gives you an instant command economy, which is fun, but Vicky2's system is more realistic and requires less micromanaging. Of course, if you made Vicky3's system like Vicky2's, you would be left with an utterly empty experience devoid of anything of note because Vicky3 has almost nothing besides the economy micro.

Vicky2 - A tier
Vicky3 - C tier

Where's Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2??? I'm not talking about your list here Cara, I'm asking Paradox. WHERE ARE THE VAMPIRES PARADOX?!?!?!?!?

[pawelzybulskij]

You can't put Gal Civ 2 higher than Stellaris.

[scvboy]

Stellaris is criminally underrated, especially with mods. Easily S tier.

[christopheryoung]

Imperator Rome is a good game now I play it a lot these days

[danovak]

Most youtubian youtube thumbnail I have ever seen

Great video btw keep it up

[xpqzl]

no way she put vic 3 above vic 2 this is unacceptable...

[robadc]

I'd agree that Stellaris is not the best vanilla experience. But you mod that game up and, at least to me, it is hands down one of the best experiences in gaming.
Recommend
-Gigastructural Engineering
-Unofficial Machine DLC
-A Couple Of Modded Story Packs
-Expanded Traditions (and expanded tradition slots)
-Expanded Ascensions (and expanded ascension slots)
-A Few UI Mods
And you're set

I wonder do you slightly tilt the icons just to fuck with peoples OCD? :)

Don't defend bad business decisions by just saying it's what a business should do!!!!

They did terrible planning with Imperator Rome and it's their responsibility to deliver the product we paid for.

If we are lenient with them, then nothing is protecting the consumer !!!

[imspudus]

I like how autumn has played all the hoi4 games

[Yes-qjbi]

I personally feel like eu4 is the best especially with modding because extended timelines is infinite hours of gameplay

[mr.pumpkin]

for a space game fan, stellaris is a great game i would put it in a higher tier personally but this isnt my video 😉
