Well OW2 and Vicky 3 already exist and CS2 is playable for some people. A great time for you.
Jokes aside, maybe check the current sales and see what interests you.
Can’t believe they canceled PVE for OW2! 😢
I can't really reccomend Vic III, if he enjoys Vic II, Vic III is a radically different game than that. He would probably want to do a lot of looking into it to see if he likes where the third game took the series.
I followed the dev diary for the first few months and it seems like a huge shift from what I was reading. I haven’t watched gameplay of it though, did it have a good release or are we waiting for dlc?
The general consensus I think is that the release was horrible, and the game is... alright, not great, not horrible. The first DLC, Voices of the People, has HORRIBLE reviews with only 26% positive on Steam tho, people are upset that instead of inproving the game itself, they added flavor for a single country instead. The popular theory is that they did this so they could give all the people who preordered the first couple DLCs crappy DLC just to fulfill that promise, and have the actual important DLC later so they have to pay for it.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, as this is very much not my experience. The game definitely has rough edges, but I found it fun and did a couple full playthroughs before setting it down. And the first expansion is always a flavor pack. It said this in the preorder, it's been that way since CK2, it's what they said would happen in the dev diaries. I can't say it's one of their better flavor packs, but this whole conspiracy theory take is strange to me.
Could the game be in a better state: yes. Should they have pushed back the flavor pack for more QoL free patches: yes. Is it a shitty game: No
