The Humble Paradox Management Bundle is a cure for boredom

Featuring Cities: Skylines, Surviving Mars, and other PC games

When I think of winter gaming, I think of video games with a propensity for eating whole afternoons like it's no big deal. Management titles, sims, strategy games – you know the kind. Once you get in there and untangle their inner workings, it's easy to fall into an endless loop of progress and refinement.

The currently-running Humble Paradox Management Bundle speaks to that whole philosophy. The collection covers a range of time-hogging PC games across multiple name-your-price tiers.

Pay $1 or more:

• Prison Architect
• Prison Architect - Aficionado
• Cities in Motion
• Cities in Motion 2

Pay more than the average purchase price:

• Cities: Skylines
• Cities: Skylines - Content Creator Pack: European Suburbia
• Cities: Skylines - Green Cities
• Cities: Skylines - Synthetic Dawn Radio
• Cities in Motion: US Cities
• Cities in Motion: Tokyo
• Cities in Motion: German Cities
• Cities in Motion 2: European Cities

Pay $18 or more:

• Surviving Mars: Digital Deluxe Edition
• Cities: Skylines - Industries
• Surviving Mars: Space Race
• Surviving Mars: Green Planet
• Surviving Mars: Project Laika

This is a great way to get started with Cities: Skylines and its DLC, the latter of which can be overwhelming for newcomers. Surviving Mars – a colony-building sim – is also worth considering.

The bundle will stick around until 11:00am Pacific on December 24, 2019.
