Should I play Crusader Kings III: Legends of the Dead in 2024?
The good
The legitimacy system is seen as a positive addition by some players, and it’s nice to see that it doesn’t make the game worse.
The bad
The majority of the reviews are extremely negative, citing issues with the plague system, legends, and overall quality of the DLC. Players are frustrated with the frequency and annoyance of the plague events, feeling that they are more of a hindrance than a challenge. The legends system is seen as underwhelming and lacking in depth. The use of generative AI for art is also criticized.
Verdict
Unfortunately, it’s not looking good for Crusader Kings III: Legends of the Dead. With an overwhelming majority of negative reviews, it’s clear that this DLC has left a bad taste in many players’ mouths. The plague system is a major culprit, causing frustration and annoyance rather than excitement and challenge. The legends system, while not the worst part of the DLC, is also underwhelming. Unless you’re a die-hard fan of the series, it’s probably best to avoid this DLC and look for better content to sink your teeth into. Better yet, wait for Paradox to address these issues and possibly release a revamped version. In its current state, it’s better to save your 20 bucks for a different gaming experience.
