The Paradox games are really good if you love history and want to play a historical simulation/alternate history. You can't really get that in a Civ game. But at the same time, Civ games are more visually stimulating, run you through the whole of human civilization to present (whereas EU, CK, etc. focus on particular periods) and are more "games" in the traditional sense. It really depends what you're looking for. I think Civ VI is borrowing the causus belli system from EU, but other than that I think the similarities end there. Two very different types of game - though my bf often has trouble telling them apart.
Personally I've got over 1000 hours logged on CKII, which I far prefer to EUIV. I agree with the general commentary about EUIV being insanely complex - I find it really hard to play after CKII, even though I actually played EUIV first. CKII I just find more intuitive, even though there's a lot of weird stuff to learn in that one too.
