I'll probably let my sub lapse so I can pick up Civ VI + Expansions (namely the expansions - I remember grabbing the vanilla game on EGS but I also remember a lot of people shitting on the vanilla game when compared to the fully expanded version of Civ V).

A few of the indie games look pretty neat, too.

In mid-July, we’ll be rolling out a new iteration of sliders that creates even more opportunities to support important causes. While splits on each bundle will vary, on average there will be a minimum amount for Humble Bundle between 15 – 30%. Sliders will clearly indicate any minimums to customers and the flexibility to adjust donations will be available in every purchase of a bundle. This change comes after ten years of having the option to lower Humble’s percentage to zero.

 

Why change after ten years? The PC storefront landscape has changed significantly since we first launched bundles in 2010, and we have to continue to evolve with it to stay on mission. The update will allow us to continue to offer great prices on amazing games, books and software all while supporting important charitable initiatives with every single purchase. 

 

The change to sliders lets us continue to invest in more exciting content so we can keep growing the Humble community which will ultimately drive more donations for charitable causes. We’ll also continue to create more ways to give back such as with our 100% to charity bundles.

 

Basically, Humble will always get a cut now, but there will be bundles that offer 100% to causes.

 

Is Humble struggling for financial support, or is this Ziff Davis spotting an opportunity?

Not a bad month. I'll probably pick it up so I've got steam copies of The Surge 2 and Yakuza, and Kill It With Fire always looked like a right laugh.

Obviously the big deal is probably GOTY darling Paradise Killer, but I thought it was a load of self-indulgent wank. But hey, for a tenner along with some other games, at the very least you'll get to experience the excellent soundtrack.

Cancelled mine this month as my £6.99 a month offer has expired. 

 

Nothing there I am too fussed about luckily. 

I paused mine because the deal ran out and almost immediately got sent another offer for £4.44 a month, which is actually more than good enough for me to be locked in to 6 months. £12 or even £9 a month would be too much for me, especially considering so many games are also on game pass or been given away elsewhere.

 

Anyway, quality month this month. Paradise Killer has had great reviews and I'm looking forward to it. Hammerting, I bought and played on first release, haven't gone back to yet but really enjoyed it but I am a big fan of the genre. The devs seems to be committed to it and are regularly updating it.

 

Not so bothered about the game pass games (yakuza, dirt and surge 2) but decent games if you don't have game pass. Not played most of the other games but all have decent reviews.

Quite tempted to pick up Delver - it's a first-person lo-fi pixelly roguelike dungeon crawler. It looks cute!

There's not a bad game in that selection, and they're pleasingly varied.

 

As mentioned, Hitman 1 & 2 are highlights, just masterpieces of the genre (the genre here being freeform, disguise-oriented, frequently slapstick assassination).

Styx is great, traditional, vertically oriented stealth; Thief meets Tenchu with fantasy trappings.

Echo is a quirky sci-fi take on stealth, with intriguing dynamic difficulty.

Aragami is a very solid not-Tenchu.

Ghost of a Tale is pretty limited as a stealth game, but a nice enough story.

Heat Signature is a silly stealth-roguelite-space-thing. I'm very fond of it.

 

All worth a try, all very different, it's a very solid bundle.

Thanks guys, I think I'll pick it up.

 

Nothing compares to the digital PC market place. Humble bundles, Epic games freebies, Amazon gaming every month, Game pass, all the sales and competition across the stores makes for a great deal for the customer.

I completely forgot the next Humble Choice was on Tuesday and, perhaps for the first time, there isn't a single game I'm interested in (there's usually at least one, even in the months I still don't choose to activate it). 

 

Also, considering they are meant to be curated, I'm not sure how something that is only 33% positive made its way into the list - they can't be that short of stuff to include, surely?

 

Anyway, for those who haven't looked, the highlight is a PGA game, Neon Abyss and Atomicrops. Great.

I don't do Choice, but...

 

K0 was my 2019 game of the year and is basically the good bits from Viewtiful Joe's slo-mo bullet deflecting transplanted into a neon synthwave pixel ninja adventure. :wub: 

 

I can also recommend The Textorcist as I picked it up cheap back in February. It's a hybrid of typing tutor and bullet-hell, but the narrative framing makes it pretty epic when you end up slaying demons with passages of Latin(?) to some aggressive synthy tunes. It does get pretty hard though!
