Crusader Kings 3: Console Edition - PlayStation 5

Probably a good idea to play tutorial and watch some YouTube to get a feel for the game

Great strategic game. Makes you mad sometimes, but makes you to think. Took me about two weeks before I was able to get down the control. Put your fights in Auto. Addicting because you’re trying to build a dynasty. This is not for impatient players, for it is a very slow paced game.

It's almost criminal they are still selling this. This has been broken since it launched. You will get part way into your game and come to a point where it just crashes and you cannot get past it. This has been a known bug in the community forever. Paradox gives ZERO thought to console. They view console as free money. You won't get patches, you won't get acknowledgement of bugs, you won't get anything. Give them money and be happy about it. It's sad too because whoever did the controller support put in some work and it functions very well. They managed to make a game with a million functions actually usable with a controller. I gave it one star for that. Unfortunately not being able to finish games kind of makes it pointless.

Easy to play. Minimal graphics

This game is well lived as a first time player who enjoys playing civilization and other games this was the perfect buy. No issues with packaging

I would strongly recommend against getting this for the consoles, this is a poorly ported PC game that the developer did not succeed in bringing to the PS5 at least, what I played it on. Save glitches are not uncommon and will erase your saves that you could have spent tens of hours on. Screens lock up and force you to open and close the options menu to be able to close them. Some aspects don’t seem to exist at all when ported over, such as information on truces, but you are penalized heavily in the game for breaking a truce, so good luck determining when they end. A real shame, especially when Stellaris is so good and shows they are capable of carrying these games over properly, but this one is lacking that level of quality.Hard pass for the PS5 at least, pick it up for PC or get Stellaris for the next best thing.

I played the OG Crusader Kings upon its release nearly 20 years ago. I bought CK2 immediately upon its release in 2012. I hadn’t picked up, or played CK3 in any form until the PS5.Using a controller works great. It is well done, and intuitive once you get the hang of it. If you have CK experience, it’ll come much more easily, I think.The game looks great. It’s rich and deep. I am enjoying it immensely.If you have not played Crusader Kings in the past, know that the learning curve will be steep, but it will make sense and become intuitive.I fully recommend playing the tutorial and continuing on from it once complete. I’m just a couple of generations in, and it is all making sense now.It’s a different kind of game than console players are used to, but if you put in the effort, it will reward you.

I was hoping to like this game but just a tough play on the console.
