Hearts of Iron IV
I never played Hearts of Iron series before, I tried Crusader Kings II but decided I am not interested after a few hours. I bought HoI4 on a whim cause of a sale and ... I have fun.
con : you don't expect graphic like Elden Ring or heck, Stellaris or Endless Space. HoI4 is a somewhat spreadsheet game, graphic is kinda like Civilization series but you will be mostly looking at a standstill image looking at spreadsheet of your factory producing logistics
pro : once you learn how to play from youtube tutorials (yes, there's no in-game tutorials), you can shape World War 2 whatever you want. I had Hitler suddenly got assassinated in 1937, I played the Japanese and had a war with China and fought side by side with Mao Zedong, and I don't what else things could become
TLDR : this is probably not a game for you, but if you wanted to change WW2 history. Give it a try. It's satisfying when I planned an invasion force and rolled Poland with Blitzkrieg.
Do watch youtube tutorials before playing or like me, you will be confused
