I guess we will know in one hour.
So “Planet Zoo” is the banner game this month? No thanks.
Already have C&C Remastered and Embr and Genesis Noir through Game Pass.
I loved the idea of C&C Remastered, and it’s really well done, but I didn’t make it very far into the campaign before I decided I’d rather play modern games rather than replay old ones like that.
I need to try Genesis Noir and Embr to see if they’re worth owning I guess.
All the games are shovelware, like $7-15 or so, other than Planet Zoo. That’s why I called it the banner game. If you actually want to play any of them then of course the bundle makes sense for you, it’s still a good deal if you care about even a single game in the bundle.
Surviving the Aftermath is a 30€ game.
I usually like weird, quirky games, but I didn’t like Genesis Noir.
edit It really seems a month geared toward strategy gamers. Three of them are city builder/tycoon games, and the 4th one is C&C remaster.
I enjoyed my first hour or so with Spellcaster University, but haven’t found time to get back to it. But I very much want to do that. (And it is a $20-25 game.)
Yeah, if you look at sales or even stuff like Eneba that always have much cheaper prices for keys (thanks to other regions, which is a bit of grey area), obviously they will be cheaper, I’m talking of MSRP.
In any case I agree that the theoretical bump on game quality that was going to appear didn’t materialize.
Putting up weird reseller links in which both games cost more than the Humble Bundle is…a take.
Dude get out of here with that grey market shit.
Yep it’s exactly as predicted.
That’s right, let’s admit the comparison with game on sale on another shop is valid. But… still, a single game is of the same price than the monthly cost of the subscription, and we aren’t even comparing it with the banner game.
Supposing you like, say, three of the 8 games, is still a good offer.

I think that was the easiest skip in a while. Usually there is one I’m on the fence about.
My usual post, looking at Steam reviews
Planet Zoo - 90% positive
Spongebob - 94% positive
C&C Remaster - 90% positive
Spellcaster University - 82% positive
Surviving the Aftermath - 88% recent positive
if found… - 90% positive
Genesis noir - 64% recent, 81% overall
Embr - 86% positive
I like Planet Zoo but 1) already own it and 2) can’t run it because it’s a huge processor hog and I have an older system.
Surviving the Aftermath looks pretty cool but I hate buying these things for one game.
Agreed.
Also TIL @stusser doesn’t know what Shovelware is, lol.
Eeeeh, I’m probably going to pause again. No interest at all in Planet Zoo or playing platformers. Remind me: the C&C Remastered thing contains the first game and what else?
First game and the Red Alert and all expansions, iirc.
Nice, Planet Zoo’s one of those I’ve been on the fence about buying for a while due to how fiddly it looks - happily take it as part of this bundle.
I’ve played Surviving the Aftermath and it’s good. Interesting premise, kind of clunky UI until you get used to it, good production values, writing and sound, and nice pacing. Probably worth the $12 on it’s own if you’re interested (lowest sale price on reputable storefronts is around $15). Absolutely worth $8 if you skipped last month and get the “hey, come back!” offer dangled. Spellcaster University, Planet Zoo and Command & Conquer Remastered are all solid additions to the bundle that add value if you’re interested in them.
Sadly, I am not interested in any of them (other than Aftermath, which I own). C&C Remastered looks great, but I know I will never, ever get around to playing it over newer games in my backlog already. Looks like another SKIP for me.
After 2 years at least with the bundle subscription, and many pauses on the last year, I still haven’t seen one of those.
