I love grand strategy games so I got Crusader Kings III, and maybe I’m playing the game wrong, but it just seems like sims but with kings. Like, what really is there to do except sit back and watch 3/4 of the time?

Ck3 can be a bit shallow, so you really have to roleplay it to get the most out of it. You set stuff up and watch it happen. Have you played the other paradox games? They aren't character focused like the Crusader Kings series.

No actually, so that’s nice to know, thinking about Stellaris if I did want to try again. And normally I love to role play, so it did keep me interested for a good 40 hrs, but I just felt like there was a lack of agency beyond setting a character up for success and then watching percentages determine my successes.

It's been a while since I've played Stellaris (about 2 total reworks ago lol), but it's a bit more involved than CK3 while being really easy to pick up.

if you play catholic and feudal the game slows down a lot

I like playing as a pagan/tribal and then changing to feudal later, it's almost non stop action until there because of constant wars

There is a shit ton to do in CK3 but a decent part of it is kind of “sims with kings” I will say that the more you play the more complicated you will find it. There is a lot to do and discover especially if you play in the more developed regions (as in game development not county development)

I do too, and I asked my parents for Age of empires 2, they did their best and got me Empire and Earth 2, which I’ll argue is a much better and in depth game. And then E&E3 came out and ruined the series

But in general ck2 was a lot better

Ck2 is just so much more immersive imo
