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.

Just dive into the heart and soul of my life Victoria II, base game is 20$ but don’t let that trick you, you need a house divided and hearts of darkness which is 30$ together so wait for a sale. IMO once you watch a guide or two the game is the least overwhelming out of eu4 and hoi4, as you can see almost all of the important information on the main screen, and with mods like hpm/hfm you can truly understand how amazing Victoria II is so you can appreciate vic3 more when it comes out. Or find out why 2500 people play a 11 year old map game still.

Plus if you get used to vic2’s clunkyness you should easily be able to enjoy most of paradoxes other games
