<1 day till the remainder of the bundle shows up. I hope there are some great games hidden in there.
Get A Hat in Time, The Escapists 2, Conan Exiles, and more when you subscribe for just $12 per month!
Me too, already owned Dirt and don’t give a whoopsiedaisy about Inside.
If you got it as part of the bundle, you should try Inside. It’s seriously fucked up and only takes a few hours to beat.

It’s seriously fucked up
Which is why I’ll likely not play it…
What? You just want to sit back and play safe little games? You want to live forever?
Wait, do you mean it’s emotionally difficult? Because I’ve been planning to play it, know nothing about it, and I’m a pansy…
I don’t do scary/horror games. :P
Wait, it’s a horror game?? That’s even worse. I would have just given it away had I known. I should start watching trailers for Humble Monthly unlocks I guess… :/
Thought it was just a cool platformer.
I wouldn’t call it a horror game, personally. It’s messed up, I don’t deny, but it’s not like Amnesia or Soma where you find yourself being stalked by monsters. OK, there’s one stalking bit, but I’m confident you boys can handle it. It’s more like playing a Twilight Zone episode than a Tales from the Crypt.
Edit: I should probably tag in @LMN8R on this, as I recall he was a bigger fan of Inside than me.

DID SOMEONE SAY INSIDE??
Here’s my quote from the other page:
I finished it yesterday, and I’m still digesting it today. All I know for sure is that it was well worth my $20, and it was one of the most expertly crafted and perfect executions of a crystal clear vision I’ve ever seen.
It’s haunting, confusing, revealing, surprising, and unique. It’s the type of art/entertainment where I feel empty after finishing it because I know it could be years before I play anything like it again.
It’s like Limbo, but not really. Or at least not for long. And unlike Limbo, it has a thoroughly satisfying arc that doesn’t end abruptly. It has fun puzzles which don’t over-stay their welcome, and occasionally make you feel like a genius. Watching a friend play some sections for his first time after I finished it showed me I’m not a genius, but rather that the game is just so well designed that it subconsciously hints at things I at first thought were completely obscure.
It’s a game that proves that sound is one of the most tragically overlooked elements in all forms of entertainment. The sound design completely makes every part of this game - the horror, the suspense, and every other emotion I felt throughout. The sounds effects too are unexpected and different, yet perfectly fit every scenario and amplify every scene. Play it on a nice sound system or with headphones cranked up in a room with few distractions.
If $20 is a lot of money for you, I can understand wanting to wait. $20 for 4-ish hours is tough ratio if you can’t spend that amount of money without giving up something else. But I will say it’s a 4 hours with zero repetition of ideas, nothing over-stays its welcome, and you’ll probably want to replay it. Not because of classic “replayability” or that many secrets to discover (though there are some), but because some parts are just so unforgettable you’ll want to see them again and show them to everyone you know.
But if $20 is a pretty moderate amount of money for you - perhaps an average dinner out - I’d recommend playing it as soon as possible before unmarked spoilers start flooding the web.
I’m going to end up hating you, I just know it. You’re making me want to play it and simultaneously telling me I will regret it.
Same boat here, my friend.

It’s a great game. It’s creepy in a non-jumpscare way. It makes me wonder what the heck happened to these developers as kids, and I love them for it. I don’t play traditional horror games much either. Resident Evil is about as horror as I get.
want to live forever?
Uh…that’s Flash Gordon, right? Wrong “movie with Queen song for an anthem”.
In an interesting twist, it seems to be a common refrain for them:
Aha! Thanks. Been too long, I guess. I remember going to see it in theaters, though. Apologies to @divedivedive then.
I always felt like “Who wants to live forever” was part of a larger story:
We Are the Champions
Flash Gordon is the best.

I’ll say it again: Inside was my GOTY 2016.
Max Von Sydow as Ming. Can’t be beat.
