Is this an aMAYzing bundle or a futile gold sink?
Damn. I was kinda disappointed with the leak, but ended up far better than the real thing for my taste. Only Jurassic World and the chess game caught my eye. I would trade any other game in the bundle for Train Valley 2 to be in this package, wanted that too. Oh well, guess i'll pause one more time.

I've been pausing since december (I took december, Blasphemous was awesome). And each month it seems to get worse. I mean, Xcom 2 was already given in Humble Monthly so including it again and as one of the "big" ones is a very big disappoinment. Other months at least had something (Frostpunk was tempting, Hitman and GRIS almost made me unpause and I would have taken January if i didn't have Shadow of War already) but this one... Uff.... Now I'll have to handle my hype for 34 days again.

Kinda... but I do remember some people over Twitter asking if HB would rebundle some past Monthly titles so that those who didn't purchase the bundles they were in would have a second chance to get the games they wanted. I'd rather see unbundled stuff sprinkled with bundled games that haven't been bundled in a loooooong time, but... eh I can't do anything about it. [insert ASCII shrug here]

Can someone from RU/CIS or Brasil or India or Asia check if their XCOM 2: Reinforcement Pack ( https://steamdb.info/app/426321/subs/ ) is one of the locked subs?
XCOM 2: Resistance Warrior Pack should be region free.

Train Valley 2 was a nice gift for active subscribers. can't say i would ever be truly happy with it, unless it was Temtem
on a side note, Niche was a real leak huh?...it's like we dont actually have that much of a choice after all, if they keep adding cheap bundled games
Anyway, good bundle overall, i don't own the 3 top games and those would cost me well above 11€, im skipping Niche and Chess

Well, it looks like I will stay paused. I'm disappointed that the leak was fake... while not spectacular, it had Return of the Obra Dinn which is on my wishlist. This Choice bundle tho... there's one game that I'm a bit interested in but that's all. Meh. Imma see if I can trade for it.

I liked the leak better too. This one isn't bad (4 wishlisted, 2 of which I quite want -- 1 owned, but the rest feels so meh to me) and I won't pause, but yeah, I'm a little disappointed.
Still don't know which one of the "meh for me" ones to skip, though ;>

Sounds like all the people pausing just have too many games... The value is clearly there if you don't own most of the games. This is worth it if you don't own the games, same as previous months. I feel bad that people have so many games, but it's not Humble's fault most gamers end up collecting so many games over the course of time.
Sometimes people just don't like the type of game, either. That's OK. Humble can't please everyone because not everyone like Sims, not everyone likes deckbuilders, not everyone likes action. I laugh at how many people complain as if it's supposed to be this impossibly personalized package that caters to every single person at the same time.

The value is there, but there is also a matter of taste. Strategy and management are overrepresented at the expense of other genres. This said, we are all spoiled by the abundance of cheap games.

I like Strategy and Management. I always feel Platformers and Multiplayer are overrepresented :P
Has somebody already done the work and got the percentages for various genres since the beginning of Choice / the beginning of Monthly? Might be interesting.
Comment has been collapsed.
I respect that. I actually should have known better when I decided to come back to PC gaming. :D
In any case, yes, it wouls be interesting to see the actual percentages. I feel there was always a lack of action games (at least "top tier" ones), but again, it might be my taste bias.

I think the main issue is they are resusing games they already included in Humble Monthly, and taking a place of the big ones. It's not that we own to many games, it's just that if you have been a Humble monthly suscriber like most of us were, you are bound to alrady have the main game for this month.

I agree 100%, a bundle with games you already own doesn't equate to it being a bad bundle, it simply doesn't make sense.
If one day HB starts bundling games of the average quality Fanatical, Indiegala etc do, that's when I'll say it's a bad bundle :p

interested in 5 to 6 of em, so definitely a buy for me. :)

Good thing the leak was mostly "fake", as it was much worse than those ... still going to pause.
If this happens more often, i'd assume its a test to see how badly it'll be received.

Pausing, and most of my points going to trying to pick up Rise of Industry, and Gladius.

XCOM 2 is definitely the game standing out for me since I didn't get it back then and after playing Gears Tactics (I enjoyed it a lot more than the recent mainline entries) I could gladly play more games of that genre right now. I would have really expected them to include War of the Chosen tho. I'd also give Gladius a try because I'm always curious about 40k related stuff but I feel like that is about all this months bundle has to offer for me.

I was thinking of buying because of Return of the Obra Dinn leak, but not know. Not really interested in anything. Could possibly be the worst month I have seen.
Comment has been collapsed.
Definitely one of the worst (at least for my taste). Need to stop getting so excited to see the reveals every month. Just leads to disappointment.

I guess there can be repeats now, since wasn't xcom 2 giving in one of the first like humble monthlies? and now i am wondering if that leak might be true, since it showed jurassic and rise of industires?
Comment has been collapsed.
Already own Jurassic and Xcom. If not, I would have jumped on this instantly. But unfortunately, it's a pass for me now since I'm only interested in one other game :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Rise of Industry :) It looks neat. But I'm a cheapskate, and don't want to spend a "month" for just the one game. My wife even have most of them as well, so can't even share it with her :3
