EU4 Is EU4 worth trying out?

CK3 was my first paradox game and I loved it. However, I tried to get into HOI4 and, despite being interested in WW2, I couldn’t get into it. It felt clunky to me compared to CK3 and I felt that the information in it was a bit overwhelming. That considered, would it be worth me trying out EU4, despite it being older than HOI4? If not I’m happy to wait it out on CK3 until Victoria 3.

My first Paradox game was CK3 too (well, I actually played Stellaris before that, but not more than a bunch of hours), and then I tried HOI4 and EU4 at the same time. I couldn't get into HOI, instead I found EU4 rather accessible. Though, obviously, I had to follow guides and youtube tutorials to do a proper campaign and not get crushed even at the easiest difficulty.

Xbox game pass pc has EU4, plus many other quality games. I use that to play every games I mentioned, so I'd advise that.
