which one is the best paradox? Hearts of L-Ron didn't do it for me. but I fancy myself a master organizer
They're all the very similar quality really, characterized by elaborate, complex mechanics. HoI III/IV's downfall is the bad AI and clunky combat, so if that's what you didn't like you might like other pdox. But if you didn't like the pacing, complexity, systems or historical aspects you may not like other titles.

Victoria II is a classic. Older and not as shiny as some of the newer titles but it's a political and economic simulator foremost. You start in 1838 (coronation of Queen Victoria) and guide a country though the end of absolutism, through the Springtime of Nations and industrial revolution, through WWI to the rise of socialism and fascism. You get to manage the level of woke your populace has and depending on how woke they are you get certain policies like laissez faire, state capitalism, planned economy, etc. So you can pit your dream fascist state against all the limp dicked democracies.

Plus you get to brutalize Africa and exploit its resources, but that can be said for all paradox titles.

CK2 is good if you're into incest and game of thrones type intrigues, EU4 is addictive, stellaris if you're into space.
