Video Game Reviews of Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun

Customer Review: Far less realism than one expects from Paradox
Summary: 2 Stars

As other reviewers have remarked, the emphasis here is on economic development, not military conflict. But neither the economic nor the military aspects of this game have anything like the historically realistic details that one finds in Europa Universalis or Hearts of Iron. As a result, this feels less like an historical simulation game than a game in which history is caricatured. I lost interest in it quickly.
