Hearts of Iron 4 is a great game for all who love grand strategy. I would definitely recommend it to anybody who has any interest in this sort of category. I would also recommend it to anybody who hasn't tried grand strategy because it can really teach one a lot about geography, micro-managing and, history. It is also a great way to spend time with others in large multiplayer battles than can be exhilarating at times. The only thing I dislike about the game is the DLC policy that Paradox employs for their games, which is to essentially force the customer to buy the DLC in order to have a good single player experience. Essentially, these games are not a one time purchase, more like a "subscription" per say. This is because you could expect to pay another $25-$50 per year on new DLC that come out, and when Hearts of Iron 5 comes out(if we even get to that point without the paradox customer base openly revolting about the DLC policy) all that money that you spent will essentially become worthless, as the DLC and game will effectively be obsolete. All in all, this is a great game that I definitely recommend, but the company that makes it has sub-standard business Ethics and a low standard in terms of how they sell and manage their products.
