Gaming Deals of the Day: Civilization V & Blocks that Matter

For the final day of the 2K Games Steam sale, as many were expecting, on sale today is Civilization V. You can choose to get either the base game, the Game of the Year edition with all the DLC, or to buy the DLC separately at very low prices. In case you missed it, yesterday's deal was BioShock 1 & 2 but luckily if you missed out, all of 2K's games are still on sale for up to 50% off!

Civilization V
Civilization 5 is a turn-based strategy game. Based on an entirely new game engine with hexagonal tiles instead of the square tiles of earlier games in the series, lead a civilization from prehistoric times into the future while battling and trading, and more.

The Flagship Turn-Based Strategy Game Returns Become Ruler of the World by establishing and leading a civilization from the dawn of man into the space age: Wage war, conduct diplomacy, discover new technologies, go head-to-head with some of history’s greatest leaders and build the most powerful empire the world has ever known.

Civilization V is regularly priced at $29.99, but you can get it today for $7.49!
The Game of the Year edition is on sale for $12.49.

Blocks that Matter
Also on sale today as a Steam daily deal is Blocks that Matter. In this puzzle platformer the player takes the role of “tetrabot”, a robot which is able to collect blocks by jumping into them or drilling them, and can then construct shapes to solve puzzles and proceed on in the level. You may have previously seen this game as a part of the Humble Voxatron Bundle.

When indie game developers Alexey and Markus are in trouble, their only hope comes from their creation. You are the Tetrobot: a tiny robot that can drill blocks of matter one by one, collect them, and recycle them into new pieces of 4 blocks. You also have the possibility to destroy lines of 8+ blocks in a very «retro russian» game style.

 

Blocks that Matter is normally generously priced at $4.99, but on sale today for just $1.69.

I hope you enjoyed the coverage of this week's 2K Games sale, we will let you know of any other great deals we come across in the future.
