Sure there are some elements of goodness: having greater control of your army and production is a welcome addition and you still do have some control about where you want your fascist Australian empire to expand to next, but these inclusions shouldn’t have to be at the expense of diplomacy or wit. Ironically, the cold inflexibility of Heats of Iron IV makes it slightly more realistic at the expense of more fanciful fun. I’m sure some WWII enthusiasts and military logisticians will appreciate the level of optimisable detail of armies and their behaviour, but for a general audience, the managerial emphasis is in all the wrong places.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespew.com\u002F2016\u002F06\u002Fhearts-iron-iv-review\u002F","2016-06-07","5\u002F10",50,{"id":97,"author":98,"outlet":100,"summary":105,"review_url":106,"review_date":47,"original_score":107,"normalized_score":108},83991,{"id":99,"name":61},4507,{"id":101,"logo":102,"name":103,"website_url":104,"score_format":44},47,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fgamepressure-logo.jpg","GamePressure","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamepressure.com\u002F","After seven long years, Hearts of Iron makes a big comeback.
