I’m unreasonably annoyed by them offering 12 games this month. The whole point for me was - I let Humble take my money every month, and they give me a bunch of curated games without me having to think about it. I will give them credit: none of these are in my library already and the selection all looks pretty good, which makes the decision harder (with the downside of adding to my annoyance).
e: It looks like Unrailed is multiplayer only, which knocks off one. One more!
Oh hell yes! For $12.84 I just added Middle Earth : Shadows of War, Graveyard Keeper, Two Point Hospital and Bad North from my wish/watch lists to my library. That’s $3.21 per game. I’ll figure out my other six choices later. So glad I was too busy the past couple of weeks to buy anything in the Steam Sale.
Now I just need Humble to kick off their Winter Sale and put Pathfinder : Kingmaker on sale for $15.99 so I can pick it up with my wallet credit which expires Jan 31st.
I’m pretty excited once again; several wishlisted games, including a pair which often find their way into my cart before my budget-conscious self thinks better of it. IIRC, Bad North was a freebie one week for Epic so that means I only need to pick 10 out of 11.

It’s supposed to be a very standard adventure game, just with a cyberpunk aesthetic and strong story.
I’m perfectly fine with them offering more than 10 games per month-- I just wish I realized that before I added 10 to my account! Not that it would have mattered much, I suppose.
Ohhh, an excellent month for me, a lot of stuff I wanted yet didn’t have like Dirt Rally 2.0. Yay!
This is a fantastic set of games for me! Graveyard Keeper, Two Point Hospital, Unrailed, and Mages of Mystralia were on on my wishlist. And Shadow of War and Street Fighter are AAAs I’m likely to at least dabble in.

I bought it in the Christmas sales after reading this review of it:
Whispers does do an awful lot under its hood that makes it pretty special. It’s just, it does it all so well that playing through the game, you don’t really appreciate just how cleverly it’s doing it. This is a game that genuinely adapts to how you’re playing it, changing itself based on the decisions you make, and thus playing entirely differently for each individual player. Except, as you play it, you’ll barely notice it’s doing it. Which is a huge compliment!
BTW if anyone has chosen Dirt Rally 2 or Grip: make sure you remember to also click the “claim extra content” button, as there are extra DLC Steam keys you’ll need to add separately.
I wanted almost everything in the first month. This month not so much. Three racing games and two fighting games? Ugh. And I already owned Shadow of War and Graveyard Keeper. But Whispers of a Machine, Bad North, Two Point Hospital and Mages of Mystralia were all on my wishlist so I suppose it’s still worth $12.
I got everything except Bad North and Fighting Herds or whatever is called.
Them’s Fightin’ Herds is the only thing in there I’ve played, but it’s quite good. I’m probably going to grab a second copy of that to give to a friend instead of Street Fighter V.

Any fans of fighting games should upgrade SFV to the upcoming arcade edition to get 99% of the unlocks. Levels, characters and cosmetics.
Yeah, Street Fighter V has a really nice deal to get you all the content right now.

Yes. $25 gets you all the characters and costumes and levels. I think the only stuff missing is the EVO specials or something like that. I need to snag it myself.
I’m already a subscriber (got in for Classic), and it’s still as bad for us. :-\
Pretty strong bundle. Looking at that list, the only things I really think I ever would get around to that I don’t already have are Dirt Rally 2, GRIP and Two Point Hospital, and that Whispers of a Machine game (already have Shadow of War). Bad North looks interesting as a tactics game. I’m fairly certain that my 13 year old nephew would be all over Trailmakers and maybe Unrailed. Graveyard Keeper, Street Fighter V and whatever Them’s Fightin Herds is are not my jam.

If I didn’t have Dirt Rally 2 already this would be a no brainer. I already have the season 1 and 2 dlc. I’m guessing the Humble included DLC are those earlier ones?
I already have Two Point Hospital too.
There are a couple I have a mild interest in: Graveyard Keeper, Bad North and maybe Shadow of War (although I had stopped wanting it a while ago). Not sure if I have an interest in the others, and I don’t have any interest in fighting games. Maybe a pause month.

No seasons, just some relatively minor DLCs I think:
- DiRT Rally 2.0 - H2 RWD Double Pack
- DiRT Rally 2.0 - Opel Manta 400
- DiRT Rally 2.0 - The Porsche 911 RGT
