Need help deciding. Surviving Mars.

Personally I wouldn't recommend getting all DLCs straight away as it seems pretty overpriced to me. I would go with the base game first and if you like it, get the season pass later or stick with specific DLCs only. Anyway, if you still think that you need to have the full package, I wouldn't wait for Black Friday, because I very much doubt you'll get a better deal. Also, depending on your currency you might also want to have a look on gamesplanet ... they currently have the same edition for 51% off.

EDIT: Looks like it's also a weekend deal on Steam this weekend - 40% off ... so it's highly unlikely you'll get a better deal on Steam for Black Friday.

With Paradox you will rarely see a better deal than 50% on DLC, just the base game's price often drops to 75%. So it seems unlikely that you'll get a better deal during the Black Friday sales. If you really want it now, go for it. If you fear losing some few bucks more than missing the deal, wait.

It's free to play for the weekend, on Steam, so, you can always play it a bit to see if you like it, before you make your decision.

With a surrounding winning of 92% saying I should wait for Black Friday I am going to do so.

I checked your Steam profile and saw you playing thought you bought it but its Free Weekend. Yes, that's great, try it yourself. I'll the game will be fun if you're someone whom like the genre. However, since you are on budget, there's a few things I want to warn you. 1stly its a paradox title, in recent years paradox has great titles but they are flooded with DLCs to the point I'm not sure if you'll enjoy their games fully.

I know I want to play games that are complete. I do not want to keep buying DLCs and miss out on contents. It just irks me, thus I have been avoiding the titles mostly unless they are in bundles. 2ndly, personally you want to put your currency into account. I am not sure where you are from but if your currency is lower than USD or ‎GBP you might want to reconsider purchasing on Fanatical but on Steam with you local price.

3rdly, from what I observe for the past 2yrs+ Winter/The year end sale seems to give the greatest discount for games, most of the games. The odd chance of getting the game cheaper is Paradox Anniversary sale, however the game does not go beyond 75% like most of Paradox's release. Only couple of odd balls I believe go beyond the 75% mark on steam or on authorize resellers.

If you currency I mentioned above is equal or greater than USD, I feel this is your best deal for now. If you're planning this as your year-end gift to yourself and going to play it once you purchase it. I doubt the year end Steam sale will have an increase of 10% to 50% of your local currency from the current deal of 40%. You can also check out GMG as they have good discounts for newer titles and single title purchases. For me Fanatical is a better deal due to my currency being lower USD and having the conversion rate put into account.
Warm Regards and Cheers, Cruse~

the chance that it will get 50% on black friday are almost 0%, so get it now.
