Ah, strategy games. These gems have become almost interchangeable with PC gaming through the years. From the pioneering days of XCOM: UFO Defense, through the intricate landscapes of Civilization and Age of Empires, to the expansive universe of Stellaris, strategy games have been at the heart of our beloved platform. With Civ 7 on the horizon and Manor Lords steadily gaining traction, it’s an exciting time for strategy enthusiasts. If you’ve found yourself out of the loop with some of today’s top strategy titles, now’s your chance to catch up. Renowned publisher and developer Paradox is throwing a major sale, offering some of its best creations like Cities Skylines 2 and Crusader Kings 3 at fantastic prices.
The Paradox Humble sale is not to be missed, featuring a rich lineup of the studio’s iconic strategy titles along with numerous expansions and DLCs. A standout in this sale is Cities Skylines 2. Although it faced some initial criticism due to technical glitches and economic simulation issues upon release last year by Colossal Order, a series of patches have substantially enhanced the game. Now, it’s increasingly proving itself a worthy successor to the 2015 original.
For those interested in starting from scratch, the original Cities Skylines is also available at a discount. Or, if you’re keen on exploring a unique angle in strategy, enter the world of Crusader Kings 3. Known for its compelling focus on family feuds, dynasties, and the machinations of monarchy, CK3 is akin to a gripping, blood-drenched soap opera, arguably surpassing its peers in depth and narrative.
Rumors are swirling about Europa Universalis 5 being on the way. In anticipation, it’s the perfect moment to dive into this colossal grand strategy series, with Europa Universalis 4 currently slashed by a staggering 87%. Don’t overlook Victoria 3, either—a game that might have flown under your radar but has improved significantly with time. Its commitment to detail and historical accuracy sets a new bar for the genre. Here are the not-to-miss deals on these essential picks:
– Cities Skylines 2 – $44.99 / £37.79
