The Humble Paradox Bundle 2018 is a rather enticing deal

By - | Views: 12,789

If you need a game to sink a few hours into this is your chance, as the Humble Paradox Bundle 2018 is now live. As usual, I will only list the Linux games for you.

Here's what you get for PYWY (pay what you want):

  • Cities in Motion 2
  • Magicka 2

Pay more than the average to get:

  • Crusader Kings II + The Old Gods DLC
  • Pillars of Eternity

Finally, if you deep a little deeper for $12 (approx £8.64):

  • Stellaris

Will you be grabbing a bundle? If I didn't own them, I certainly would! That's actually a pretty good bundle, even after taking away the games that don't support Linux.

Ps. If you're always on the lookout for a good deal, do check our Sales Page regularly!

Quoting: KuromiShame they didnt put Pillars of Eternity as DRM-free even with Obsidian selling it DRM-free on GOG

Well, it's Humble, so what do you expect?

(Yes, I'm quite disappointed with them lately)

@liamdawe have you tried to apply to humble partners, so linux folks can support you when buying humble bundles?

If it's DRM-free it's DRM-free on steam as well. You just have to (or not) download it using their client.
Btw, for Stellaris, is it only the base game?

Not necessarily. There are plenty of games that are available DRM free on GOG or Humble that are DRM'ed on Steam.

I'm not sure about PoE though.

So are the base games for PoE, CK III and Stellaris worth it? I haven't got a lot of budget for DLC so if I decide to get this (I haven't got any of those games right now) I'll be sticking with the basics for the foreseeable future.

Quoting: KelsSo are the base games for PoE

Absolutely!!

I've never played any of the PoE DLC, and I really, really enjoyed PoE.

You can have fun with CKII for a while, but currently you really need to have at least several DLCs. But I haven't played CK for a while, so maybe it is different from Stellaris and EU, where without DLCs, it is quite bland. Stellaris is currently quite bland, I would wait till they release Cherryh update, maybe it will finally be better? But some changes are really stupid.

As for PoE, I would say no. PoE sucks. It is not very RPGish. You don't have freedom. Everything is locked down.

Ok, I stand corrected. I only remember Starbounds which was advertised as DRM-free, and it is on steam.

I disagree. I had tons of fun approaching the same situations differently. I'm on my 4th playthrough of the base game at the moment. The real-time combat is admittedly a bit strange, and you will learn to press SPACE a lot, but i think it's definetly enjoyable if you enjoy games like XCOM or Wasteland 2.

Real-time combat is not strange, is quite standard given BG and so, NW and so, Tyranny and plethora of other games. Real-time with pause (which is in some TB-like RTS as well) makes fights much faster, while not taking much from depth.

Killing goblin on high level would take a lot of time since combat needs to switch to TB. Doing the same in RT with pause takes almost no time, since you can just run to the goblin and kill him in RT. No need to initialize special combat. This makes the whole experience more unified.

Problem with PoE is retarded stats and no exps with number of boring enemies (at least at start, shades are everywhere), multitude of stun/charm enemies and slow down in combat. This significantly reduce your possibilities and playstyles, without getting anything in reward.

They learned a lot from it and tried to make it better in Tyranny, which while is an improvement, it far from perfect (or even what I would call "good", it is serviceable, Tyranny have more problem with imbalance in forced encounters where you can have serious difficulty spikes, and inability to save at certain points).

They just have problem creating a good RPG system.
