It's rare to find a cohesive blend of history and strategic gameplay, and that's one of the reasons Paradox Interactive's Crusader Kings franchise is still at the peak of its powers all these years after the initial installment. Although it's been nearly five years since the latest edition, Crusader Kings 3, hit the gaming shelves, it seems to be stronger than ever through a consistent stream of updates ranging from cosmetic quality-of-life makeovers to complete system overhauls. With detailed timelines, custom scenarios, and the chance to play through the lens of some of the medieval era's most famous characters, there are a ton of adventurous playthroughs to experience in Crusader Kings 3.
