Humble Monthly is becoming Humble Choice

[Crawdaddy79]

New Bundle out. This one may be even worse than the last one.

Forager - A resource strategy game based on the Super Mario 3 graphics engine.

Golf With Your Friends - Like Wipeout, but golf instead. I think there's a new show that does this. Some of the screen caps of courses remind me of the worst Trackmania maps I've seen.

Strange Brigade - Co-op zombie killing game set in Egypt. Could be fun if I had friends.

Lethal League Blaze - Pong but with 2D fighting influences.

Generation Zero - Mech exploration/action game based in rural Sweden. Had this on my wishlist for a long time. Got horrible reviews when it was released, and they've since improved it. Now it's up to mixed. Guess I can take it off my wishlist now.

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair - Game for kids. Will add it to their account.

Occupation - Breaking and entering simulator where you play as a journalist who has the ability to Change the World through finding evidence and interviewing people. Could be interesting.

Catherine - Story based puzzle/platformer where they somehow link the gameplay to your decision on which Catherine to stay with.

Vampire The Masquerade - Coteries of New York - A postcard reading game where you can sometimes influence what the next post cards picture and say through dialogue choices.

The Shapeshifting Detective - I've liked the newer FMV games though admit none of them are terrific. As the 3DO was dying out they released Psychic Detective which had a great, complex tree of decisions. This game looks to be totally unrelated but if I play it I'll pretend it's a sequel.

Evoland - Another throwback game, this time to RPGs from yesteryear., that I apparently have not played because I never had a Nintendo.

Fun With Ragdolls - KAC, this isn't what you're thinking. It's with regards to the physics engine, akin to Stair Dismount but with more things to dismount from and to land on.

I paused it again.

I paused it again.

!_!

[Fuku2]

!_!

Just complete lame bulls**t being added.

No offence to the developers of these games but the deal
presented is far from what I expected for what I paid for.

Telling me I am getting $Hundreds of Dollars of games per month when they have run their time on the market is pathetic.

Nobody wants to pay for a multiplayer game when nobody is playing it.
Nobody wants to pay for something offered on another channel for free.
What's that? A game is done selling at a low price. Include it in the Horrible Choice Monthly. When my subscription is done I am done.

My sentiments exactly. I'll just keep pausing until they spit out something good. Just so I can stay on classic on the off chance they do.

[DeathKnight]

I paused it again.

Last month I paused and they offered me $4 off. I grudgingly accepted. I paused again this month and they offered $2 off. No way José!

[Crawdaddy79]

OCTOBER is available!

Tropico 6 - El Prez Edition: I'd be excited about it if I didn't get burned out on the series halfway through Tropico 4.

FAE Tactics - Awful looking isometric 2D battle based RPG

Sunless Bundle - Sunless Sea and Sunless Skies: Game where you're a rocket or a submarine or something. I've seen them a few times on Steam but nothing about the description(s) hooked me. Guessing a glorified SPAZ with strategy/armada elements.

Iron Danger: Nice looking top-down action RPG. Has turn based elements due to the ability to rewind time and try different attacks.

Autonaughts: Awful looking world-building simulator for kids.

Shadows - Awakening: Another isometric action RPG. This one looks simpler and easier to play. SP only which is a plus.

Fantasy Blacksmith: Blacksmithing simulator where you can create sexual playthings.

The Suicide of Rachel Foster: Sleuthing adventure game. Don't care.

Goat of Duty: MP FPS where you play as a goat. If Overwatch didn't hook me, why would this? No thanks.

The Uncertain - Last Quiet Day: Adventure puzzle game where you play as a curious robot in a world extinct of humans.

Basement: Text/icon based strategy game that looks awful.

Lightmatter: First person puzzle game where you use light to expose clues and/or otherwise solve puzzles. Doesn't look bad but it's no Portal or Talos Principle.

[Fuku2]

Paused again.

[DeathKnight]

Looks like another skip.

[SirBaron]

God this one is the worst so far...

[Eisberg]

I swear more often then not that Epic gives better games for free than what Humble has for a monthly subscription.

[Seyiji]

Bleigh !__!

[azalea]

I guess a rotten choice is still a choice. I wonder if the "curators" also work for Amazon, landing those superb Games With Prime.

[KAC]

Should be called the Turd Bundle.

[Silent-Runner]

the sunless-bundle is the only thing i'd recommend out of this turd.

[Crawdaddy79]

They did considerably better this month.


Darksiders III - I have the first two, didn't get this one.

Yakuza Kiwami 2 - My third Yakuza game, all of which I have gotten from Humble Monthly and have yet to play

Imperator: Rome Deluxe Edition - Grand strategy war game. Not my cup of tea.

Crying Suns - Great title for a space game, I've looked at it several times before. 2D strategy Rogue-lite with backgrounds befit for the best of desktop wallpapers.

Darksburg - Top down twin stick shooter about killing zombies. Looks bad, but might be fun in short intervals.

Little Misfortune - Female Jimmy from South Park goes on a point and click adventure that might be funny.

Smile for Me - A colorful first person psychological horror. Watched a bit of the trailer, looks absolutely awful.

Darkwood - At some point this one got on my ignore list. Top down survival horror survival game. I'm getting a sense that many of these titles were holding out until after the Halloween sale to be put on Humble Monthly.

Tsioque - Another point and click adventure.

Rover Mechanic Simulator - Simulates you working on the Mars Rover. Doesn't get more niche than that.

Youropa - Colorful third person puzzle platformer with overuse of depth of field effects.

Townsmen: A Kingdom Rebuilt - A two dimensional top down simulation strategy game where you build a town and maintain it. Casual.

[Fuku2]

- I have all the Darksiders games just on EA play alone plus bought the first 2 on steam awhile ago.

- Yakuza Kiwami I have on Steam and they all seem to be on Xbox Game Pass

- The rest uhhh....Darkwood I have on Steam

IGN now means 'I Got Nothing'.

[DeathKnight]

More meh games for December....

[Crawdaddy79]

More meh games for December....

For the first time, there's not a single one I'm interested in. The Beast Inside is the only one using a 3 dimensional textured graphics engine, but if I'm going to play a game like that I'll play one of my three copies of Amnesia first.

[John C Flett]

I'd have gone for Frog Detective 2 and Still there but it's a prett poor choice for 14 titles.


I do also have a few keys left over from last month; Yakuza Kiwami 2, Darksburg and Rover Mechanic Simulator.

PM me if you'd like any of them.

[Evileh]

God those are shite

[Sundance Kid V2]

Yea.. this month game selection sucks.

[Mahjik]

I'm going to be cancelling my subscription at the beginning of the year. I'm just not getting anything valuable for me. I'm noticing that some of my older keys that I purchased and never used are no longer available (so they are definitely use it or lose it).

Serious... ? Damn!! That sucks

[Fuku2]

Humble choice for Jan 2021 is one of the worst so far.
You thought December was a lump of coal up the wazoo?

This is like week old Christmas dinner leftovers served from Santa's cumstocking with extra country gravy from Rudolph's bulging biscuits.


The new game list is not out yet. I was just practising for the reveal.

You had me for a second and then it dawned on me...it's assuredly da troof

[Eisberg]

We'll see on December 32nd just how crappy it will be

[Seyiji]

And da troof it wuz !___!

[Crawdaddy79]

Posting the list because some are saying that titles are disappearing over time (because Rage3D.com will outlast them all).

This month:

PC Building Simulator - Practice building a PC on your PC because you can't get stock to build a PC in real life.

Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey - Similar letters as Assassin's Creed Odyssey and from the creator of Assassin's Creed, but not the same. Start from nothing, grow your clan into survival.

Pathologic 2 - The sequel to a game that looked interesting. Has a group of die-hard fans, near cult following. Looked like it requires a lot of time investment so I never played 1. Now I have 2.

Warhammer: Chaosbane - Top down hack/slash RPG in Warhammer universe that somehow managed to score below 80% on Steam reviews.

Total Tank Simulator - Sandboxy strategy game akin to TABS, but looks much more interesting with its physical destruction and larger maps.

Song of Horror: Complete Edition - Implies they released an incomplete game initially. Fear based walking simluator puzzle game. This one features multiple player characters.

Not Tonight - I should get this game for my wife so she'll stop asking. 2D strategy RPG sim survival humor something that looks mostly bad. Set in Britain after Brexit failed.

Vampire: Shadows of New York - Another postcard simulator where you read texts and look at landmarks with pictures of people in front of them.

Tales of the Neon Sea - 2D adventure game that focuses on you hovering your mouse and investigating every object, set in a cyberpunk world. Doesn't sound tedious at all.

Minoria - 2D action adventure platformer where you play a girl in a dress with a high split.

Deleveled - Fell asleep looking at the screenshots. Don't know what it is.

The Ambassador: Fractured Timelines - Top down 2D action RPG that would look bad on the Game Boy Color.

[Crawdaddy79]

I dunno gays... I just went on a frenzy to add all of these keys to my account starting with January, then going back to October to December. Once I got to December's bundle I just couldn't bring myself to claim any of them. I felt instant depression that the "lead" game, Overcooked 2 with all its content is less appealing to me than every single one of the games from this month (as B quality as they are).

This month's bundle is better than last month's by a long shot.

[Evileh]

This month is better than the last few months combined

[KAC]

So much garbage.

[Silent-Runner]

Ancestors MIGHT be cool (for some hours or so)

[jimjobob]

So I can suspend my subscription right?

[Fuku2]

So I can suspend my subscription right?

Yes, you can pause it.

[Crawdaddy79]

This month:

Outward + The Soroboreans Expansion - 3rd person RPG that I keep getting ads for on Steam. The title art made it look like a 2D, top-down RPG to me so I was never interested in clicking the banners. Heh.

Valkyria 4 Complete Edition - It's tan. It's a game about tan. Cell shaded battle game. Can't tell if it's RTS or RPG or QTE extravaganza.

Endless Space 2: Digital Deluxe - I'll play this one when I play and enjoy the first one, which I got for free years ago.

Moving Out - Self described as a physics based moving simulator. Sounds great!

Trine 4 - The third sequel to the 2D platformer that taught us all that 2D platformers have a place in modern days.

The Wild Eight - 50% of Steam users recommend according to the Humble page. Looking at the game on Steam, it seems they transferred "recent reviews" instead of overall, which is 81% positive. A sad thing about these bundles is that most games see a drop in review average as the cheap-Os don't feel like their entitlement is sufficient.

Train Station Renovation - I fell asleep when I read the title. I see screenshots of radioactive waste, so might not be what I think it is.

Valfaris - 2D platformer/shooter action packed looking game with a metal soundtrack. Will play.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse - I didn't know there were so many postcard simulators until I started getting Humble Monthly bundles.

Lovecraft's Untold Stories - Top down action RPG. Looks bad.

Iris and the Giant - Card collection game that features up to 8 colors on screen at one time.

Boomerang Fu - Multiplayer game. Might play with kids.

[Fuku2]

I thought the Werewolf game was the actual game at first and I was like "F**k Yeah!!!" even though it is not supposed to be that great.

Then I investigated further and my...m....m..........zzzzzzzz.. snort!!!....huh wuh....whut happened?

[Silent-Runner]

at least there are some good games in it this month

[YellowBeard]

I've been thinking about picking up Outward, so base game + a DLC for the price of my sub is cheaper than I could have got it otherwise. Works for me.

Though I do agree, the overall quality has been declining pretty starkly for a while now. Even their normal bundles have repeats of games from the monthly on the regular now.

[JohnnyFlash]

I miss the days of "all games from 2011 for $1".
