If you have a whole lot of free time this weekend I've got just the ticket: a Steam Free Weekend for Crusader Kings III and some discounts across other Paradox titles.
Depends on how much you like reading event dialogue.
The fun in Stellaris, at least for me, came from the bajillions of sci-fi references and events. The downside is that a lot of those come from DLC. The base is good by itself though, and you can always “acquire” the add-ons through other means.
I really loved that about CK3 actually - really liked the stories it built with them. Really changed my idea of what emergent gameplay should be like. Maybe I’ll see if there’s a good bundle on sale right now too and get some of the DLCs at the same time.
Incidentally Stellaris is 70% off - I assume it’s deep into it’s development cycle by now, is it worth getting into for a recovering CK2 addict?
