Battlefield 4 vs Europa Universalis
Battlefield 4
Battlefield 4 brings large-scale multiplayer battles to a whole new level with destructible and dynamic environments that you and your team can make use of to change the lanscape of the battlefield, opening up new tactical maneuvers. You can even launch an amphibious assault, catching your enemies unawares; or simply engage in massive water-based vehicular combat. There are a whole lot more vehicles, weapons, huge maps and freedom to play as you like in this game, giving you an unrivalled, all-out war experience that frankly is the best Battlefield has offered thus far!Best yet, the game added a single player campaign for those who want to experience the fun of huge battles without having to play online. The storyline is quite touching as it details the struggles of a unit of American troops doing their best to complete their mission and work their way home.
If you love Battlefield games, well, Battlefield 4 will definitely astound you! Even for those who disliked the multiplayer-heavy gameplay in the previous Battlefield titles can agree that the single-player campaign does make up a lot for that. Though, buying this game for only its single player aspect might be a bit not worthwhile, unless you can get it at a discount.
Europa Universalis
Europa Universalis is a historical real-time grand strategy game that includes all aspects of world history in the Early Modern Europe era, a period of time between the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Due to the game's meticulous need to be accurate in its historical accounts (period monarchs, known military leaders, and technological advancements), the game can, in some way, be doubled as an educational game since you can learn quite a lot simply by playing it.That said, the gameplay in Europa Universalis is just incredible for its time. The game is played on a huge world map that is divided into around 1,500 provinces where you can literally govern your nation the way you like. You can get involved in your nation's colonization efforts, explore new lands, trade with neighboring countries, wage war when they renegade on that very trade deal, spread the religion you've adopted far and wide, and of course, navigate the tricky political waters of diplomacy.
Not to mention, instead of using a turn-based format, the game has opted for a pauseable real-time format, so you can pause the game, issues orders and plan out strategies, before unpausing the game and let the world events play out. There are even tons of historically-based missions and events which may affect the world based on your actions and decisions.
When it comes to grand strategy games, there are only a handful that truly embodies the genre, and obviously, Europa Universalis is one of them. However, being the original game in the franchise, the graphics might be a bit worn for wear, but if you don't really mind, you can definitely pick this game up from GoG.com.
