Victoria 3 at it's core is a tycoon game dressed in a fancy grand strategy outfit. Pick a nation, build it up from nothing and watch that GDP bar glide it's way up throughout the course of the game. That's really it, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a lot of fun. If you go in expecting to spend more time staring at the buildings screen and less contemplating your territorial expansion, then you'll probably enjoy this quite a bit.
