Crusader Kings 3 has hit 4 million sales, but all that tells me is that not enough of you have played the best game

Crusader Kings 3, Paradox's brilliant RPG/grand strategy hybrid, has reached a pretty significant milestone, hitting the four million sales mark a bit over four years after it launched.

Now, that's a pretty hefty number for what you might consider a fairly niche strategy romp. Certainly, Paradox has reason to be pleased. And I don't want to be the one to rain on the parade, but still: the number really should be greater.

Every time I start up a new game, picking another dynasty to lead to glory or ignominy, I am still stunned by the absurdity of what's on offer here—especially when you throw in the DLC.

With over a decade of experience, he's been around the block a few times, serving as a freelancer, news editor and prolific reviewer. Strategy games have been a 30-year-long obsession, from tiny RTSs to sprawling political sims, and he never turns down the chance to rave about Total War or Crusader Kings. He's also been known to set up shop in the latest MMO and likes to wind down with an endlessly deep, systemic RPG. These days, when he's not editing, he can usually be found writing features that are 1,000 words too long or talking about his dog.
