The Paradox sale<\/a> is in full swing in support of PDXCON right now, but we wanted to recommend to you our favourite Paradox franchises. They all offer an excellent strategy experience, but carry a different flavour whether it be sci-fi, fantasy, cities or RPG. Read on to see what we think of each, and if you like the sound of it, have a look at the sales page.<\/p>\n

Stellaris<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you ever want to build an empire in space, Stellaris is your game. Starting out with just one planet and a space station, truly eXplore, eXpand, eXterminate and eXploit across the stars, and then build a Dyson Sphere around one of them to harness bonkers amounts of energy. The high points of Stellaris are numerous: the building of epic space projects like the aforementioned Dyson Sphere or a whole ring-station around a planet, running into ancient, incredibly powerful alien empires that want to put you in a zoo, or customising your civilisation around your favourite sci-fi race. And yes, those races can be hive-mind alien insects that utilise and eat slaves. There’s really no idea too small.<\/p>\n

Cities: Skylines<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Do you want to build a city, right down to the placement of the districts, the infrastructure and the anti-sewage overflow systems? Cities: Skylines is the game for you. I’ll let one of our Green Team explain via video just how special it really is:<\/p>\n
