Paradox Interactive's new strategy game Millennia failed to impress critics and received restrained reviews

The release of historical grand strategy game Millennia from Paradox Interactive and C Prompt Games studio took place.

The Swedish publisher is famous for excellent games of this genre, but this time the critics were not delighted with the novelty.

Here's What We Know

The gaming media published reviews of Millennia.

Most experts agree that this is not a bad strategy, which is easy to master and does not tire a huge number of nuances. But it is because of this simplicity it is likely to displease fans of complex 4X-strategies.

Critics noted that the developers have not unlocked the full potential that Millennia has. So, for example, the choice of nations does not play a big role in the game, because from the gameplay point of view nations are not much different from each other.

Besides, the technical state of the game leaves much to be desired: despite the low system requirements, Millennia manages to hang even on powerful computers.

Millennia got 67 points on Metacritic and 60 points on Opencritic, with only 29% of recommendations.

It's worth noting that many Paradox strategy games initially received low scores and negative reviews, but thanks to numerous free updates and content expansions, the developers usually managed to significantly improve the games and win the public's love. Perhaps the same fate awaits Millennia.
