Bad releases of other games this year left me feeling only moderately excited for this title. I also remember to me CK2 was unplayable without some DLC that just made it good, so I worried it would feel incomplete until DLC arrived. That being said, this game absolutely blew me away. Favorite game of 2020, BY FAR. Definitely recommend this. It even runs better than CK2 did, and I have the same computer.
