I really liked aven colony. Even did my rare 100% on it, took 30ish hours. Theres around a dozen planet scenarios to complete.
Wish the whole “choice” thing was better. I’d happily pay less and skip the featured titles. Undecided right now.
In Other Waters is very good if you fancy some chill scientific exploration, but this is my first pause since Choice started. Aven Colony and Popup Dungeon could be fun, but I’m in no rush.
It clearly wanted me gone, it only took 3 clicks to pause this time! In the past it’s taken as many as 6 clicks (including offering me a discount). Well screw you too!

For me, there’s enough “hmm, maybe” to perhaps give it a swing. I apparently already own Shenmue I and 2 from a previous bundle, so completing the trilogy has appeal (even though I will likely play none of them haha).
What are the Shenmue games anyway? JRPGs? Fighting games?
I’m going to game the system by holding off on pausing so I can get the discount on Humble store titles if some really good deal comes up.

If anyone wants In Other Waters, PM me for a spare key, I bought it in February. gone
Aven Colony IS a good little colony building game, by the way, but can be had dirt cheap since it’s several years old now.

They are something like the Yakuza games. Kind of third-person semi-open world adventure games with (a lot less) brawling action interspersed. Also quite a few quicktime events (this was either the game that invented them or at least the one that popularized them, I can’t recall). I love them.
Thanks. I had no idea. Were they mostly on consoles before?
BTW, I don’t seem to have gotten an email announcing the new games (not under the promotions tab either). Anyone else?
Shenmue was a Dreamcast exclusive, Shenmue II was, I think, original Xbox? and Shenmue III was crowdfunded fairly recently after a like 15+ year gap.
Not entirely disappointed in the selection as it has a few items on my wishlist, but I’ve definitely seen better. Worth the $12, but a bit of a letdown.
If I gave a damn about VR I’d be all over this bundle. Hell, Star Trek Bridge Crew is almost enough to make me give a damn about VR.
You can play bridge crew without VR.
Thank you for pointing that out, I was not aware of that fact.
Yeah they originally made it VR only and then went, “Wait, only HOW MANY percentage of steam users use VR? ONE? Put in a pancake mode.”
Which is when I originally bought it. Now that I’ve tried it in VR it is great.
Yeah, I didn’t know that either. Does it play decently on a monitor?
Sure does, can be played with a mouse or gamepad just fine. Also cross play so you can play with someone on PC VR, PSVR and PC pancake just fine.

That is not a particularly good price for just Bridge Crew though, and nothing else in the bundle looks even remotely interesting for non-VR.
Sure, the bundle’s a hard pass, but I can plunk Bridge Crew on to the wishlist.
