Crusader Kings 3 was recently released and i know a lot of us played CK2. The release have been okay. I think that overall it's a better game. Looks better, improvements to the game systems and other things that you would expect from a sequel. Nothing really massive but some steps forward here and there. Overall still very similar. The game feels like it's more focused on painting the map compared to the previous game and i don't feel quite as connected to the characters. The events also doesn't feel as meaningful or impactful. It's mostly just "ok, moving on" and then you have forgotten about it 5 minutes later. Knowing Paradox, we will see alot of DLC for this game so it should improve. Altough the quality of their DLC recently have been up and down.
