As a straightforward, value-priced grand strategy game, Two Thrones succeeds at providing a leisurely paced way of walking through a critical period that did much to decide the paths of England and France. However, the scope is certainly limited compared to other Paradox games, and Europa Universalis II isn't included in the package, as it was in Crown of the North. The relatively limited scope, clunky build interface, and lackluster AI mean this isn't a game for veteran strategy gamers looking for a challenge.
