When I am not training or playing I always find video games a great escape, but unlike many of my fellow teammates I prefer different games to simple sports games like madden or fifa or big popular shooter games like pubg or battleground. For me the best games have always been strategy games. I have played many many strategy games in my time however I tend to prefer big complex grand strategy, and what is really a bigger strategy than crusader kings 2 by paradox games. I know for those who don't know the game it doesn't sound that grand but it really REALLY is. Crusader Kings 2 is a huge sandbox type game where you take control of a nobleman. You then try and advance your families power and land and when he dies you become your heir and so on and so on. Sounds simple right? Did I mention that you can be any landed nobleman from a simple count, powerful duke, mighty king or all powerful emperor trying to rule a single county to a vast kingdom full of your squabbling nobles hell bent on bettering themselves at each others and even your expense. You can start anytime from the 8 century to the 15th century and it covers the whole of Europe, North Africa am most of Asia. I love the scale of the game so for an hour or 2 a day I am no long Mako but King Alfred, Duke William or even Genghis Khan.
