I got EU4 and all the DLC during the winter sale and have spent way too much time on it. I'm a sucker for Paradox games (HOI4 and Stellaris mainly), but this one is LOOONG. Consistent with Paradox, it requires a lot of reading guides and watching videos to understand the mechanics and where to find stuff in the UI, but it has been fun!
The other game I've been playing a lot is Old World. It's currently 75% off at $10, and the DLC is mostly 30% off. It's another 4X game that I think Civ 7 has stolen some ideas from and is kind of a blend of Crusader Kings and Civilization. Plays similar to Civ, but it has a lot of narrative-driven events, and you control a dynasty and deal with factions in ways that Civ doesn't do. It's in a really good state right now.
As a tangent, I loved Civ 6, but I am not buying Civ 7 until they get stuff fixed. I'm also annoyed at their DLC monetization, so I may wait a year until there is (hopefully) a discount.
