I actually recommend DOW 3. Although it was controversial I bought it at the launch and I don’t regret it. The game has a lot of tactical depth and play style customization option. It’s pretty unique Thanks to it’s war phase systems that allows for both micromanagement game-play and mass scale battles. Have been paying it regularly since the launch – I have almost 400h behind me
