Humble Bundle key redemption is awesome again (mostly) but the games are kinda meh

My understanding is that you wouldn’t want to buy that one on Steam anyway, in that apparently the GOG version is more, err, “complete.”

Wait, so does the GoG version have more Honey or Pop? 🧐

Sadly, Snap OD’d on coke in the 80s, endured a massive stroke, and is now a vegetable. Crackle faded to obscurity after a notable stint as a gonzo porn director in the San Fernando Valley led to a conviction for arms trafficking with the Sinaloa cartel. He swallowed a 12 gauge and never saw a cell. Only Pop remains, and his ladyfriend Honey, while possessing a lovely soprano, is a poor substitute for the original band.

A candle burning twice as bright, etc.

What the hell kind of bottom barrel fanatical $3 bundle is this? I’m happy to be contradicted. Tell me which games are good.

I thought it was maybe just me. :)

But yeah, this month doing zilch for me. Maybe if I was more into racing games, Dirt 5 would do it for me. And Paradise Killer looks at least interesting.
But pickins seems pretty slim here.

The indie games look interesting to me.

I would not recommend DiRT 5 to any racing game fan. And I’m even a big fan of the DiRT series.

Also, it will be nice to own The Surge 2, I suppose. I know I’ll get to it eventually.

The indie games sound intriguing though.

Just yesterday I bought Surge 1, 2 and new Larry for 10 eddies on Fanatical.

So of course humble also has Surge 2 and…nothing else that would interest me.

Pausing hard.

Yakuza would be a nice inclusion if it weren’t on Game Pass. I’ve heard good things about ADOM. And Nimbatus looks like it might be interesting. That’s all I’ve got.

Ohhh, an excellent month for me, many games on my wishlist. Yay!

Heh. This thing has fleas.

Nimbatus and ADOM are both of interest, but that’s really it, and I’m not sure that’s $12 worth of bundle for my purposes. Maybe $8, I guess? But maybe not.

I don’t think this month’s Humble Bundle is for me. Which is fine, not every month needs to be about me.

Let me know if there is a good reason to reconsider.

P-p-p-p-paused!

Declined the $4 off too. Not worth it at $8.

BEE *clap* SIM *clap* U *clap* LA *clap* TOR!

I am happy! Nimbatus has also been on my wishlist for awhile.

Paradise Killer is a fascinating game and an award winner from last year. It didn’t end up grabbing me, but I also think I played it totally wrong by exploring everywhere before diving very deeply into the characters and mystery.

As usual, the big ticket games are YAWN for me.

Paradise Killer is likely the best game in the bundle. I already own it, so that’s not a deal for me, but Yakuza 3, Surge 2, Nimbatus? That’s enough for me. Some of the others look interesting as well. ADOM is definitely a good one, but again, own it.

Buying for paradise killer and a few other indies.

It’s really hard to justify spending $12 on this thing when the topline games are all of no interest and the one I want most is ADOM which is hiding down there in the far right of the third row. I guess that’s a somewhat regretful pause.

Paused so hard it could be heard in the next town over.

Seriously, the headliners are a Yakuza game that has been $10 recently and Surge 2, which is available for $3.33 as part of a 3-title $9.99 Build Your Own Platinum Bundle over at Fanatical. In fact, that Fanatical bundle for $9.99 is a better deal this month than the Humble Choice at $12.

Hammerting does look interesting, and I hear good things, but it’s also the kind of game I can wait on to see if it pops up paired with more interesting titles in another bundle somewhere down the road.

Obviously not worth it only for ADOM, but I don’t know what the position of it on the list has to do with anything. Again, I can pretty much rely on the second and third rows having the stuff I care about.

Paradise Killer was a bitter disappointment for me, given how much the few others who played it liked it. Be really curious to see what kind of a reception it gets from a bigger audience.
