Every now and then I get the urge to play a strategy game. Not your typical strategy game, such as Starcraft or Age of Empires, or even a game like Total War.
No, I get the urge to play a massive, globe-spanning, in-depth, Grand Strategy game.
Recently, I picked Hearts of Iron III, developed by Paradox Interactive. I had never played a HoI game, but had played many other Paradox games and each was the top of it's genre. I put in Hearts of Iron 3, and had no clue what to do. Nothing made sense to me. After hours of playing, I still don't get it 100%. I know that it will take me months to understand everything, if I ever do at all.
So readers, if you haven't lost interest already, what game made you scratch your head and say, "What the shit is going on"? What game overwhelmed you to the point of becoming intimidated. Hearts of Iron wins out for me, with Supreme Ruler 2020 (another PI developed game) in close second.
