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!
Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
Quoting: ColomboYou 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.
I'd heartily disagree, which just goes to show we all have different tastes!
I found PoE gave a lot more freedom than the old games like BG or IWD. I have the expansions but haven't played those yet. The base game had enough to keep me going for ages and I enjoyed working through many of the side quests and approaching problems in different ways. Maybe I was lucky, but I felt I could play my character the way I wanted.
As for CKII, even the base game is more than sufficient for a ton of fun. I really like the Old Gods DLC (which is bundled in the deal, I think) because I can play on my own turf as the Kingdom of Strathclyde, which had been subsumed by the starting date of the base game. There are a couple of DLCs which genuinely enhance the game but none are essential.

Yeah different people have different taste:-)
I got Stellaris at launch and really liked it and play it a lot still, so I bought all DLC and expansions when they came out.
For a new player I think the current bundle is a good idea to try out Stellaris(and the other games, but I havent played them yet). The base games got updated in a lot of patches since release and should have enough content to play it for many hours for those that like that kind of game. Then if you like it and play it a lot the new update will be out and then if you still play it you can look at the different DLC and expansions , maybe on sale.
