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

Trove new stuff:

  • After Hours
  • Sanctuary Rpg
  • Tacoma

EDF 4.1 (with many DLCs included, apparently) and Vermintide 2 are primarily games to play with other people, right? Cultist Simulator doesn’t really interest me much, so given that I’m not much of a multiplayer guy and have a backlog from hell I’ll probably pause this month (gotta do it today or tomorrow, since Friday is the last Friday this month).

Vermintide 2, yeah. I played through it all alone on the easiest difficulty, but wouldn’t recommend it that way.

Anything harder was too hard for the bots. I’d even say some of the random bosses (can appear in any level) seemed impossible solo without a cheese strategy. Chaos Spawn, &%#@.

This is tempting me.

I haven’t played V2 in a while but there is a fairly high skill ceiling. I’m no where close but it’s definitely possible to solo the bosses with bots, I’ve done a couple of Champion levels with them (though luck does play a big role, sometimes you get an unfair combination of specials thrown at you.)

There are people who solo higher than Legend difficulty without bots.

Bots level up with you, actually. I played in Champion with the bots filling in some players, and it wasn’t that bad.

Yeah, it’s tempting me too.

Next week’s games might’ve been leaked if anyone is undecided about buying it.

There’s also a 20$ store credit promotion for buying a 12m sub.

I watched a bit of those and I would’ve died almost every minute, haha. I take back what I said, maybe I’m just bad at Vermintide :)

and… which games are?

Yeah, if you’re gonna mention it, share with whole class…

It’s a secret.

Apparently:

Slipstream (https://store.steampowered.com/app/732810/Slipstream/)

Fight N Rage (https://store.steampowered.com/app/674520/FightN_Rage/)

Paradigm (https://store.steampowered.com/app/600370/Paradigm/)

Late Shift (https://store.steampowered.com/app/584980/Late_Shift/)

Tower Unite (https://store.steampowered.com/app/394690/Tower_Unite/)

20 Minute Metropolis (humble)

Sounds like a great month to have paused. The headliners are good but I own them. The list you just posted? No thank you.

Same, and I neither owned nor was particularly interested in the headliners.

Yes, this new list of games is uninteresting… but the headliners were good (Cultist Simulator, Vermintide 2, EDF), at least for people without them.

Cultist Simulator, Vermintide 2, EDF

Strikethroughs are claimed.

I forgot to pause this month and was billed already.

If anyone wants one of the titles listed above let me know and I’ll PM you the key.

Fight N Rage is a super beat em up.

I was considering picking FnR up in the current 75% off deal, so glad I held out.

Related: It’s kind of scummy to run a big sale when you know your game is going to be bundled in less than a week.

Agreed - I did buy Fight’N Rage from the current sale, though I at least haven’t started playing it yet and would be able to get my first-ever Steam refund if the “leak” is real.
