The Humble Thread

[Siri]

 

Shit month for me, personally - I've no interest with Crusader Kings after trying it on PC Game Pass, and I think I bought JC4, Descenders and Shapez ages ago.

 

Descenders is a banger though, definitely one to pick up, even if it's outside of a bundle.

[shirubagan]

Hi all, I'm new to Humble choice and signed up last month when I received my Steam Deck. It's showing  my next billing date is 27th September but I am not interested in any of these games. If I choose Skip a Month, will I not be charged for September or have I fluffed it? Is there anywhere to see the upcoming games? 

Edit: Forgive Me Father looks like it could be interesting, mind.

 

 

[Mogster]

I'm tempted by CKIII and Descenders. If I ever do want to play CKIII I'd want it on Steam for the DLC, and Descenders looks like a perfect Steam Deck game. I'm not exactly dying to play either though...

 

But yeah, I've never skipped a month before. I'd be interested to know how that works too, and if that's an option now that the month's games have been announced.

 

EDIT: It is indeed. It does reset your store discount if that's an issue:

Humble Games are announced first Tuesday in the month and they bill you for them on the last Tuesday so you have all month to decide if you want them.

 

If you are not keen go into settings in your humble account and select skip a month. They may well offer you a discount at this point but if it’s still a no you will not be billed this month but your subscription will reactivate next month unless you skip again.

 

First month in a while I’ll be resuming. Crusader kings, Forgive Me Father, Descenders and Industria are all of interest and got the usual $4 discount by threatening to skip.

 

[Siri]

 

Deathloop and Monster Train is a pretty good month.

 

You also get Signalis from the humble launcher.

[BeeJay]

Man, the first month in ages that I really want. Hopefully they send me an offer. I almost paid £7+ for the monster train dlc just the other day.

[Wiper]

Slightly undermined by Gamepass, but I don't blame them for that, and am happy to have PC versions of both Deathloop and Monster Train to keep. Particularly with the latter's DLC included!

Native steam versions for steam deck is also a big bonus too rather than gamepass streaming 

[Mogster]

Yep. This is a fantastic month for a Steam Deck, even if you do have Game Pass.

 

[dreamylittledream]

Wow two decent months in a row…hopefully Humble is turning a corner after an abysmal period.

 

Deathloop is a nice to have even though realistically being 1st party it will never leave Gamepass, but Little Hope and Maid of Sker been on my watchlist for a while and I should give Monster Train a spin.

 

Generous idiots still gave me a $2 discount for threatening to skip even though they gave me a $4 discount for playing the same trick last month.

[Siri]

 

I'm not overly fussed with that selection, tbh, although all the games have been reviewed well.

[Wiper]

Oh, nice; one of the better months for me. I initally thought that was Shadow Tactics (brilliant, but I already own it), but it's the standalone expansion which I've not bought; Morbid: The Seven Acolytes has been on my wishlist for a while now, and I'll happily play the Amalur remaster if I don't have to pay for it. Happy to try Raji and Unmetal as well, and... I'll completely ignore the other three games.

 

(I think this is possibly the first month, ever, where I don't own at least one game already)

[shirubagan]

Nothing of interest for me this month, which gives me some time to catch up. 

[Fry Crayola]

A rare non-cancelling month for me. Generally it's little to do with the games' actual qualities, and more to whether or not I'll ever play stuff in the increasingly limited time I have. No point spending £8-12 on stuff otherwise.

 

But Unmetal is something I'm interested in, so the rest are coming along for the ride.

[Siri]

New Humble Monthly:

 

 

Fantastic month - I've wanted Wasteland 3, Greedfall and WTWTLW on Steam for a while now, and I just bought TOEM. 

 

(of course, I'm trying to return it, but I'll buy the bundle and give it away otherwise, I thought the demo was great)

[dreamylittledream]

Good month for me too…been tempted to buy Greedfall a number of times in recent sales so glad I waited as I was sure it would hit Humble.

 

Wasteland 3 too looks good (yes it is on Gamepass but it will have gone off by the time I get around to it!). Backbone was another one I intended to play on GP but it was removed before I managed it.

 

Got the $4 discount for threatening to cancel too as I sat out last month so that little lot for less than £7 can’t be sniffed at.

[shirubagan]

Nothing for me again this month. I skipped last month and got charged anyway. Haven’t heard a peep from Humble CS in over a week.

Microsoft first party games don't leave Game Pass, unless there's a licensing reason like the Forza games. I doubt Wasteland 3 would leave.

 

I have however been after a Steam version for the Deck. This is a great month for me.

[Isaac]

Backbone is an odd game. Completed it a while ago.

 

It has a really, really fantastic first act, then it takes a left turn and the quality drops massively, before a rushed ending that leaves you thinking "is that it?"

[Siri]

FYI, Humble are doing reruns of their best bundles at the moment, I think it's a new one each day. The 2K Games bundle was yesterday, but I think it's still active for six hours or until 'stocks' last.

 

Today's the VR Racing bundle - so Asseto Corsa, AC Competizione, Automobilisa 1 & 2 and some other guff for a crisp tenner.

[Siri]

Apparently, January's Humble Monthly includes Doom Eternal, OlliOlli World and Tribes of Midgard.

 

I'm guessing we'll hear about the other five games tomorrow, but the first two seems fairly worthy for under the current asking price of OlliOlli World in the active Steam sale alone.

[klargon]

If anyone happens to not want OlliOlli World, I’ll happily buy the code for a few quid.

[Siri]

 

I was looking at Encased during the Steam Sale, so that's nice.

If you're happy to wait until the end of the month when my purchase goes through naturally you can have mine the free. I already own the game

That’s a mighty kind offer. I’m fine with waiting - like everyone, I have more games than it’s ever possible to play.

Cool. Have noted and will send when I have the key

[Harsin]

If you like point and click adventure games, you can currently get a bundle of 13 (!) Wadjet Eye games on Humble Bundle for the princely sum of £8.34.

 

https://www.humblebundle.com/games/wadjeteye-sixteen-years-of-adventure

You also get a coupon for 33% off The Excavation of Hobb’s Barrow which is a really good game.

 

One of the games included is Unavowed which I played and thought was excellent. As I already own it if someone wants my Steam key for it let me know.

[Gotters]

Lot of well known and older stuff in this big Square Enix sale via Humble.

 

The older Mini Ninjas jumps out as something I think I played and quite liked back on PS2, Deck green tick too.

 

Lara Croft & The Tomb of Osiris also got my interest as remember the isometric XBLA games but don't think I played, got it with the DLC for £2.84.
