Dec. 2024
This was the first Hearts of Iron game that I played. I have played the sequels to this edition and I have found them seriously lacking. The only upgrade to this game that I can find for this game would have been to update the map and divide up some of the territories a little bit better. But, all in all, this is the superior Hearts of Iron game.

This game offers a captivating journey through WW2, with its strategic depth and historical accuracy standing out. However, it's worth noting that its sequels have refined and improved upon its formula. Nonetheless, for any WW2 enthusiast seeking an immersive experience, Hearts of Iron 2 remains a compelling choice. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3262801099 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3262801599
