Humble Monthly is becoming Humble Choice

Ah.... Fresh page for a fresh post.

Doing this from the updated Firefox browser. I'm dazzled by the new text search and text box border colors. It's like I'm at a party.

This month:

Civilization VI Platinum Edition - Got this for free on Epic Games, sans Platinum. Maybe I'll play it when I play IV, V first (which I got from bundles in times past).

Secret Neighbor - First person cartoonish (Psychonauts-looking) multiplayer survival game. No thanks.

Stubbs the Zombie: Rebel Without a Pulse - Played the original retail, liked the style but recognized it was pure novelty. Also had crashing issues. Not much game to this game, but it does tell an amusing story.

Worms Rumble w/Legends Pack DLC - I hear good things about the Worms puzzle games but have never played them. A quick look at the Steam reviews shows a lot of disappointed customers as it's multiplayer only and there's nobody playing.

Going Under - Dungeon crawler based in the buildings of failed tech startups. Looks interesting and user reviews say its good.

Panzer Paladin - Game Boy Color 2D platform/shooter. Looks awful.

Milky Way Prince: The Vampire Star - "Live a summer of dysfunctional love through branching storylines, twists, sudden changes, and a special mechanic where you choose which senses to use with your boyfriend. In these moments, you will learn about him, his personality, and his past, making you question everything."

Desolate - Survival game where you craft and build things before getting killed as your environment becomes more harsh. Actually might be interesting based on the setting/backstory.

Ikenfell - Turn based RPG. Looks like a failed Netflix Original cartoon.

Paw Paw Paw - Advertises as an adventure game but looks like a 2D fighting game. Cartoony, basic mobile phone visuals.

Effie - I honestly can't figure out what this game is. Perhaps dabbles in multiple genres. "Relive the look and feel of old-school video games!" Wow that's enticing.

Disjunction - A top down 2D strategic-looking shooter like Survival Squad (lol no one knows what that is). Stealth action... like the original Wolfenstein.

I think I will not renew.
 
It's official. I tried to claim a game and it wanted $132. Removed my payment method. More stress than its worth; an ever-growing backlog is not exciting as some would think. :bleh:
 
Eh, I've been looking at Going Under and Desolate. It sucks cause every month they have at least a couple indies what I've been kinda sorta eyeing for a bit so I begrudgingly stay subbed.
 
I guess today is the day they release the July 'selection'.
I have to go to bed before they are available to see so I'll probably be kept up with nightmares about it. :)
 
For those of you Humble Choice subscribers who have been waiting on this drop before buying something on the Steam sale, I have good news. The wait is over!

Now you get to claim a limited or unlimited number of games of your choosing, listed below!

Yakuza 3: Remastered - At least the fourth Yakuza game on Humble Choice, this one is remastered in 1080p and 60 FPS. :nuts:

The Surge 2 - I'm pretty sure I got The Surge from a previous bundle. This one is the sequel to that game I have yet to install and play.

Dirt 5 - Probably the worst rated Dirt game.

Hammerting - Clearly trying to be a unique indie game in a sea of unique indie games. 2D vertical mining RPG. Or 'someting'.

Nimbatus - 2D Sandbox Drone Building Factory game set in space.

Paradise Killer - I'm pretty sure I looked at this a long time ago. Actually looks fun and interesting. Cartoonish characters, first person investigation RPG with comic-book looking lore graphics.

Kill it With Fire - Go into a house, find spiders by opening every drawer or turning over every object, and kill them in textureless bliss with things like flamethrowers. Looks tedious and awful. Besides I love spiders. You know the best place to find them IRL? In their web, in the corner somewhere, completely out of the way.

Bee Simulator - You're a bee. You fly around and be a bee. Good visuals.

Elderborn - Bad ass first person melee game that doesn't deserve this fate. Fantastic metal soundtrack.

S.W.I.N.E. - Looks like an RTS inspired by Warzone 2100 where you design your own vehicles.

Deadly Days - Random pixel generator that might dance to your music.

ADOM - A truly horrid looking 2D top-down action RPG.

Elderborn is a cool game, hammerting is also not bad, S.W.I.N.E. is an 20 years old RTS which you can get for free almost everywhere on the net. Even back then it wasn't the greatest game. As for the rest, well, you're on point as far as i can tell.
 
This month:

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night - A Castlevania game made for Castlevania fans without the Castlevania IP. I did not play Castlevania, but this one seems high rated.

Last Oasis - An MMO offered in a bundle is always a bad sign for that MMO. Looking at Steam Stats, this one isn't in the top 100 of number of players.

Superliminal - First person puzzle game where large objects block your path through narrow hallways.

Out of Space - 2D isometric Co-Op multiplayer base building game. Looks awful.

We Need to Go Deeper - Poorly animated, poorly drawn 2D platform looking game that should probably belong on a mobile phone. In hell.

Carto - Top down 2D adventure game with no dialogue boxes.

As Far As The Eye (or, A FATE) - I can't make heads or tails of this one from the screens, but one thing I can tell is that it's probably not worth the time to figure out. Maybe a management simulator? Lots of different colors.

Cepheus Protocol - This one actually looks pretty good. Zombie killing strategy game? Lots of blood. Strange organic constructs. Mix of basic and good graphics.

Drake Hollow - Could be good but you lost me at coop. I like how the environments and enemies look.

Nowhere Prophet - Another game that belongs on a mobile phone. Do battles by drawing lines from one shape to another.

Blue Fire - 3D platformer/adventure. Looks unfinished.

Encodya - Cool looking title graphic. Interesting environment. 2.5D adventure game. Might be worth playing. GOG key.

you _can_ play it in coop, although you don't need to. It's a fun, sometimes challenging survival-building game. Also you get some funny sidekicks you have to care for...kinda. I've played it for a good amount of hours, it really isn't that bad.
 
Bloodstained: Boner in the Night is worth getting. Though I got weary of back and forth and stopped playing.

It's an excellent metroidvania indeed. Backtracking is a big part but imo the number of teleport spots is decent enough. Symphony of the Night in all but IP, by one of the dev leads in that game.


I loved Superluminal too, as esoteric geometry first person puzzling goes. Short but sweet.
