By all accounts, anyone who has thought that role-playing elements of Crusader Kings were intriguing should give this game a shot. Even reviewers who had some caveats rated the game highly overall. Subscribers to Xbox Game Pass are also in luck, as Crusader Kings 3 will be available on the PC side of the service from launch day, removing the financial worry of buying the game and potentially not liking it. In fact, the greatest risk of playing Crusader Kings 3 seems to be a high likelihood of one-more-turn syndrome, leaving players manipulating their kingdom well into the early hours of the morning.

Crusader Kings III releases September 1st on Mac, PC, and Linux.
