If you love a good grand strategy game, then you should grab Crusader Kings 2 and its DLC on GOG quickly as the base game is free and its DLC is 50% off.
I haven’t played CK2 yet, but if its DLC is like Stellaris or Cities: Skylines, it’s arguably usually worth it. Very expensive when you add it all up and not all DLC is worth it (e.g., the race packs of Stellaris aren’t really that interesting), but for how much play time you’ll get out of the game, it’s pretty great. I regularly think about how often I want to go back to Stellaris lol. Part of the reason I haven’t tried CK2 yet is because I’m pretty confident that I’ll love it and be sucked in for weeks.
I mean, I’m not saying that the game is bad or not worth the money, but the announcement just says, unqualified, “free”, and I just want to make it clear that there are some strings that come with that to people who may not be familiar with the way Paradox sells their games.
