HUMBLE BUNDLE $18 is it worth it?

[jaithesimpleguy]

Hi,

As someone who enjoy playing Civ VI in Epic Games (around 30hours), I'm wondering if this $18 humble bundle will get hooked. Is there any mind-blowing content/features that I should try? your input is highly appreciated. (I just don't want to buy the game and ended up sleeping in my library)

Thanks!

It's all subjective really. 30 hrs isn't really a lot so maybe no? Butthen that equates to a dollar per hour. If you like the game then sure. At the end of the day it's up to you.

No its not a lot. but, if buying this might get me hooked up to 200 hours, why not? does any of it's DLC gives any significant impact to the gameplay? or storyline even?

There is no storyline. Or, at least, no storyline that you don't create yourself; every game is its own story in a way.

Among the DLC for this game, there are two large expansions that add major game mechanics. For example, one of the mechanics the "Rise and Fall" expansion adds is a loyalty system that makes it possible for cities to leave one civilization and join another without combat. And one of the mechanics the "Gathering Storm" expansion adds are natural disasters that can damage infrastructure but also make tiles more productive.
Getting the later "Gathering Storm" expansion and playing with its rules also gives you the "Rise and Fall" mechanics; however, it doesn't automatically give you access to the civilizations and leaders added by the earlier expansion.

The remaining DLC are all fairly small individually, and basically just add more. More civilizations and leaders. More scenarios. A few more things you can build. A few more "natural wonders" that go on the map.

The base game has 18 civilizations and 19 leaders. Add the two expansions, and that basically doubles. Add all the lesser DLC, and the leader number doubles again.

If you're looking at the DLC, the bundles this game has are strongly recommended. When they're on sale, anyway - which is frequent. The "Platinum" bundle includes both expansions and some of the smaller DLC, while the "Anthology" bundle has everything. (When I bought the game, it was the Anthology bundle, and it was on sale for about $30 at the time.)

I picked up Civ VI as a Humble Bundle a few years ago. 800 hours in, I think it was a good deal. And I still have Civ V to go through as well.
