Crusader Kings 2 and all the expansions are really cheap in the new Humble Bundle
https://www.pcgamer.com/crusader-kings-2-and-all-the-expansions-are-really-cheap-in-the-new-humble-bundle/
Have you ever thought to yourself, "I've heard good things about this Crusader Kings 2 strategy game from Paradox Interactive—87/100 on PC Gamer! —but there are so many expansions to buy and that really adds up. How can I indulge my curiosity without breaking the bank?" If so, the Humble Crusader Kings 2 Bundle is just what you need to scratch that oddly particular itch.
For $1, you get Crusader Kings 2, and The Old Gods, The Republic, Sunset Invasion, Legacy of Rome, and Sword of Islam expansions. That's a lot of crusading with kings for a buck. For more than the average amount of bucks, you'll also get Horse Lords, Way of Life, Charlemagne, Rajas of India, and Sons of Abraham. And finally, at the top tier of $15 (which is so close to the average price that you might as well go all-in) the Holy Fury, The Reaper's Due, Jade Dragon, Monks and Mystics, and Conclave expansions are also yours.

Kingdom Come Deliverance receives an Easy Mode thanks to this mod, available for download
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/kingdom-come-deliverance-receives-an-easy-mode-thanks-to-this-mod-available-for-download/
Modder ‘Jindra1403’ has released an unofficial Easy Mode for Kingdom Come: Deliverance. According to the modder, this Easy Mode is balanced to give the player overall easier gameplay without either being too easy (like playing with cheats) or shutting some of the game features completely off.
While the vast majority of the changes in this mod can be benefited from just by playing on your playline with the mod, a few changes will only take place when you start a new playline with the mod already installed (such as changes to events that happen at a specific point in the story, e.g at the beginning of the game).
>> Sadly, they've forgotten the link to the mod.

You can now play as 2B from NieR Automata in Resident Evil 2 Remake
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/you-can-now-play-as-2b-from-nier-automata-in-resident-evil-2-remake/
Modder ‘TXYI’ has released a new mod for Resident Evil 2 Remake that most NieR Automata fans will appreciate. This mod replaces Claire’s Noir DLC costume, comes with full physics effects, and it’s a must-have mod for all NieR Automata and Resident Evil 2 PC fans.
As with most 3D model swappers, this 2B NieR Automata mod for Resident Evil 2 Remake requires FluffyQuak’s mod manager in order to be installed.
(...)
In case you are wondering, this mod does not bring any gameplay changes to the game. In other words, don’t expect any melee combat mechanics or sword fighting. 2B will still be using Claire’s arsenal and will behave in a similar way.
>> Available from Nexus Mods.
