So... Loot Play...

All games have been unlocked.

We have:
Crossing Souls
Epistory - Typing Chronicles
Hammerwatch
NeuroVoider
Turmoil

These are good games but only 2 haven’t been bundled before. In a crate like this, it’d be nice to get quality and unbundled but not a horrible start.

If you’re interested in these games, I believe you still have a few hours to go and grab it.

Edit: New Loot Play up. Overload is the headliner.

My feelings: C’mon guys! This one literally just became free on Twitch Prime this month. I’m moving towards disappointed in my sub decision.

Looking at raw numbers, you’re getting your money worth, at minimum.
Looking at Steam reviews, an average of ~83% Positive also looks acceptable.

Unfortunately, not much of this bundle interests me, subjectively.

One, more objective, disappointment is that one of the included games (Miner Meltdown) appears to be a multiplayer-only (or nearly) game, requiring a lobby of 8 players to play. As of now, this game has a single player online with a historic high of only 93 concurrent players. The Steam community for the game seems to confirm that the game lobbies are generally empty, making the game unplayable.

So same price but 1 early game + only 4 random indie games instead of 1-2 AAA early and 100+ worth of indies after? That’s a hard pass.

I cancelled mine today after seeing Redout as the next game. Redout has been out over two years and it’s not even the deluxe version. Overload, which was great, and Tower of Time both were out in 2018 making them worth the cost. Form now on I’m going to be just waiting and seeing if the premier game is one I want before I bother with it.
