New month, new games at the Humble Choice:

IMO this month’s choice is rather “meh” excluding Yakuza 4.

outer worlds = insta yes

Outer Worlds* is pretty good though, definitely worth it.

I’ll pass, and I took the opportunity to finally get the Yakuza Collection on Steam.
Not to mention how even Cyberpunk 2077 also did the “corpos are bad” theme better without hammering it on your head every second.

Idk about outer worlds, not researched it like @SeekerSupreme super seeker. XD

Yakuza is a win though! Now, what to ban this month to get Choice, :thinking:

I’m not sure this is a good idea, but it’s certainly hilarious :joy:

New games at the Humble Choice!

Like the Vault, that’s another easy skip for me. :roll_eyes:

6 Likes

Yeah I skipped this one right away as well. Only thing I’d be interested in getting would be Trek to Yomi.

It’s a go for me for Road 96 and Arcade Paradise. I love playing arcade games in other games. @K16 turned me onto that kinda fun when he gifted me The Coin Game.

First thought to this one is, which of the titles was meant to be the loss leader? The big reason for anyone to want to get the bundle?

I’m mostly interested on Foretales but Wonderlands also looks okay even though it’s much shorter than Borderlands 3.

Forgot to mention that Deceive Inc. has already been given away by AWA’s Game Vault.

I was never a fan of Borderlands, neither the game mechanics nor humour worked very well for me. I doubt another of Tina’s whacky spinoffs is going to change my mind.

I did hear good things about The Forgotten city, back when it was a skyrim mod, though.

Foretales does look decent, I do like card games and this bundle has two of them. But I’m mostly spending my time playing mahjong when I have time to play games now, entirely for free.

Yup, Foretales is the only thing that interests me here too, and like @Fraggles card games are one of my favourite genres.

I really liked The Forgotten City, it’s a murder mystery story with time travel and a roman setting.
The only other interesting title i see is the fmv one “Who pressed mute on uncle Roger?”, the extended trailer makes it seem like my kind of humor. The steam reviews does make it seem like the gameplay is less impressive.

It’s Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. Naturally not everybody is into it, but that’s the big ticket item brought down to a very reasonable, historically-low price.

I’m considering picking this up just to get Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands myself. I just finished New Tales from the Borderlands and was about to re-play Borderlands 3 anyway while I waited for Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands to not cost an arm and a ding-dong. I just need to figure out how Humble Choice Monthly works so I can cancel after I do; not at all interested in subscriptions.
